Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Capitol Hill / First Hill

Always love visiting. Food is incredible and the service is always top notch. Feels almost comforting and old school -- genuine kindness and hospitality. Wish food was a little more affordable, but the prices are on par with the rest of Seattle, so it's not the restaurant's fault.

Great food! The unique salad, pillow soft gnocchi and panna cotta were fantastic. We love this place, and prices are very reasonable.

Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.

This was our second time back in the last few months, the first time not long after the passing of Wayne Johnson, chef at Andaluca and Fare Start. Oola happily reminded us of the inspired offerings that Wayne created. Fresh, seasonal, locally sourced food with contemporary pan-pacific flavor and textures, beautifully presented and plated. Likewise, the wine offerings were appropriate and very satisfying. We were also lucky to sample a flight of Oola whiskey along with a description by the distiller of each offering; and a bonus description of their vodka and gin. The black label whiskey in particular was excellent! We had a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Amazing service, very attentive staff. The food was excellent, pretzel and sauces outstanding.
