- RRobinSeattle / Eastern Washington •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAs always, San Fermo exceeded expectations. From the ambience to the service to the food, our dinner last night was perfect. Our server also suggested two of their new dishes, the charred onion appetizer and the barley risotto and both were fabulous! Thank you San Fermo for yet another delicious evening! We’ll be back soon!More infoSan FermoPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Ballard•4.7

- DDonnaSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoI had family here from California, and we arranged to meet at this restaurant, which I had been to once previously. I remembered that it was good, and also that it was near Seattle Center, and I had a hunch these two would want to poke around over there once our meal was done, so it was a perfect location. The service was warm and friendly, but never intrusive, and the food was divine. I ordered the "sweet stuff" French toast with caramel and strawberries; nobody else makes it like this, and it was mouthwatering! I also ordered (to go) some "soft scramble" eggs with asparagus and Dungeness crab. It's so hard to get real, fresh crab anymore, what with the overfishing, but my eggs had actual leg segments of crab in them, a perfect ratio of filling to egg. The eggs came with their amazing potatoes, and my husband and I had that dish, along with a small amount of leftovers from my French Toast, for dinner that night. This may be my favorite Seattle restaurant right now! The cherry on the sundae, so to speak, was that when we were finished, we sat and chatted and nobody seemed anxious to kick us out of our booth. Oh hell yes.More infoToulouse Petit Kitchen & LoungePrice: Moderate• American• Queen Anne•4.7
