Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Victory Heights

This restaurant according to our server has only been open 1.5 years. I would say that their ranking should be within the top ten level as everything that we encountered was delightful. The canneloni was tantalizing to the taste buds and the broccoli salad was crisp and flavourful. I could have dined only on the Focacci bread was so good that it could have been the entree. Like most retaurants downtown you should be used to utilizing a parkade as there is no street parking. Yes when in town we will dine there again.

My husband and I made our first trip to Seattle to visit our grandson in the Navy, and this was the first restaurant we ate at. It was fantastic. It was Valentines Day and they easily moved our reservation after our flight was 1 hour delayed. Our server Joseph is the best and became a family friend guiding us through the menu. The chicken, spaghetti and meatballs (order non spicy), bruschetta, arraniatta, gnocchi with mushrooms and Cesar salad are amazing. Don’t forget dessert and the caramel cake with gelato. Five Stars and a must do for downtown!

Our first visit to Rider; we needed a good pre-theater restaurant. Rider turned out to be good, but with the staffing issues that so many places suffer from at the moment. Very convenient for our hotel and the Paramount theater, it was very busy when we arrived but the host found our reservation and we were seated promptly. The pervasive aroma of smoke from the wood-fired grill was very appetizing. Our cocktails were delivered promptly; our shared appetizer of a half dozen oysters came in good time, was well presented by a knowledgeable server (Jon) and were very tasty. Unfortunately, the filet mignon steaks we ordered did not arrive for quite some time (50-55 minutes after we first arrived), and they and the vegetables (nicely crispy fingerling potatoes and a side of very tasty roasted carrots) had apparently been sitting out for a while as they were definitely not as hot as they should have been. Their late delivery also meant that we didn't have time to order the dessert we would otherwise have enjoyed before we had to leave. The wine list by the glass was basic but OK, nothing special; we each had the Indian Wells cabernet. Overall, a good kitchen and good food, certainly worth a visit but needs to pay attention to service times.

The food and bar at Single Shot are second to none. Great appies and mains. Always some new and fun cocktails to try. One of our favorite restaurants!!!

We had a large group of 8 with various dietary needs. They did a fantastic job responding to this. Service was prompt and the food came out quickly for a large group - very impressed! Even the noise level was reasonable. Would definitely do again for a group!
