Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Greenwood

I wanted a quality high-end dining experience and I got it. Nell’s has been around for a very long time. The restaurant is intimate without being cramped. Conversation is easy because it’s not noisy. We had quality service and the food is very good. I gave Nell’s 4 stars for value but that might be more indicative of Seattle in general than Nell’s. Compared to dining most anywhere in the world, Seattle is expensive and Nell’s seemed pricey for the portions served. But overall it’s a satisfying experience.

ELDR is a welcome, new dining experience to the neighborhood. We visited two weeks after its formal opening. The char, smoke and service are core to the scheme... and this scheme is working. Our table, served family style, ordered an initial bread service, each listed vegetable, except for sunchokes, and three entrees: sable, sausage, and gnocchi. Best dish: the sable served over chard had a perfect char and sauce. Runner ups: the cabbage and also the butternut squash. The latter has a spicy kick. Regret: Not ordering the sunchokes. Oh well, there's a next time. Pro tip: Order a bread service to sop up the delightful sauces. We ordered a second service to do just that... and inspired a trend with the table next. Last, the dining chairs are super comfy. Get your friends/family organized and reserve a table.

The food here exceeded our expectations, everything was really, really good. We had ahi crudo, carrots, polenta fries, and focaccia to start, and then 3 pastas and the scallops. Everything was delicious, well presented and excellent presentation. The waiter was lovely and very informative. And the prices while a bit high were worth it.

We loved everything we ate. The sake recommended to us was excellent. I would definitely go back. I love the chef’s cooking and that they try to get sustainable fish. 

Fabulous dining experience from start to finish. Our cocktails, appetizers (pulpo and burrata), mains (beef short rib tagliatelle special and eggplant involtini), warm focaccia, wine with help from the sommelier, chocolate torte, and post dinner drinks, were all top notch (and v large portions on the food). Charming and efficient server (Jenn S) made us feel welcome. Lovely ambience although noise level was pretty high due to loud neighbors.
