- DDustinLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024I recently dined at Stateside in Seattle, and it was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! The ambiance, the food, and the impeccable service all combined to make this one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. A special shoutout to Jessie, the bartender, who went above and beyond to make my evening unforgettable. Jessie crafted an incredible Piña Colada—perfectly balanced, refreshing, and utterly delightful. On top of that, Jessie’s food recommendations were spot on, showcasing both knowledge and passion for the menu. Everything I tried was an absolute masterpiece. The duck rolls were perfectly crispy with an explosion of savory flavor in every bite. The ahi crudo was light, fresh, and beautifully presented—a true testament to the restaurant’s attention to detail. The creamy crunchy prawns delivered on both texture and flavor, a must-try for anyone visiting. And don’t even get me started on the duck egg custard—a truly unique dessert that ended the meal on a perfect note. Overall, Stateside has raised the bar for what a dining experience should be. The food is exceptional, and the staff, especially Jessie, make you feel completely taken care of. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of this incredible menu. Thank you, Stateside!More infoStateside - SeattlePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.8

There’s great seafood to be consumed in Seattle, but it’s only the beginning of what the Emerald City has to offer. Boasting one of the country’s most creative and diverse dining scenes, Seattle is dedicated to sourcing locally—from land to sea. Storied restaurants, from Canlis, the pinnacle of Pacific Northwestern fine-dining, to chic modern hangouts like the Walrus and the Carpenter, prove Seattle’s range and prowess. And even as the city’s changed over the last decade, growing and evolving under a massive tech boom, its soul remains as vibrant and bold as ever.
The Top Restaurants by Cuisine in Seattle
Whether it’s a margherita pizza or sashimi you seek, here are the best places by cuisine type, according to our tastemakers.
Discover Lower Queen Anne
A sophisticated downtown anchored by the Seattle Center and the Space Needle, the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle is a hub of sports arenas, live music venues and museums. With so much to do, it’s no surprise that this urban oasis is also a culinary mecca with over 100 restaurants, bars and fast-casual dining options within easy walking distance of the attractions. Try freshly caught Pacific Ocean oysters or upscale diner fare. For a more casual yet trendy option, visit the many food truck pods offering street food that hearkens back to Seattle Center’s World Fair origins. The Lower Queen Anne area is rich in culinary adventure. Everyone should try a Seattle dog or fresh shucked clams.
