Best Live Music Restaurants in Ballard

It was a wonderful family style dinner with extremely high quality food! Great portion sizes too. Expectations were exceeded. And the Christmas decor in the hotel was beautiful. We recommend adding on the truffle au jus, absolutely delicious.

My wife, my grown-up daughter, and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Palisade. It was all great: fast service leading us to our table (reserved ahead of time), excellent food, great view of the marina and downtown Seattle, and the food was served at a slow speed so we could enjoy a 2 hour dinner with good conversation. The price was higher than what we usually experience when we go to a restaurant for dinner. However, the price was as expected on a Christmas Eve at a first class restaurant.

I expected Stella to look and feel more intimate. At this price level and quality of service it deserved a table cloth and better decor. Because, the food we ate ( off the menu) was outstanding, like no other Italian food I’ve eaten in the US. And we’re 81 and have been around.

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.
