A Masterclass in Endurance
On a leafy Capitol Hill side street, Single Shot’s chef, Antonio Palma, uses his global culinary chops to make the PNW’s produce shine.
When people talk about Capitol Hill, they tend to overlook its micro-districts. Folks usually think of the well-worn Pike/Pine Corridor first, although a decade ago, it was equal odds they meant the central part of Broadway. But a neighborhood spanning over 11,000 city blocks could never be a monolith. There are boroughs to the Hill….
Industry Entrees
Seattle’s newest spots to eat, drink, and gather with friends.
De La Soil Kenmore Inside copperworks distilling Co.’s spacious Kenmore location along the Burke-Gilman Trail, De La Soil is a relaxed, community-driven, farm‑to‑table kitchen run by chef duo Cody and Andrea Westerfield (Lecosho, Serafina Osteria).

Ramie Shows Seattle What Vietnamese Cuisine Can Be
Restaurant reinvents classic dishes with a local twist
Slightly more than a year ago, when Ramie opened in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, owner Trinh Nguyen wasn’t sure the location was going to jive with what she had in mind. She’d found success with Ba Sa on Bainbridge Island, which she co-owns with her brother, Thai, but the commercial climate in the small seaside…

One Year In, Lenox’s Dreams Are All Coming True
It's just like chef-owner Jhonny Reyes imagined
Jhonny Reyes used to look at the former Marco’s Supper Club and The Innkeeper space in Belltown with envy. “I’ve always had my eye on this place,” Reyes says, while telling the story of how his restaurant, Lenox, polymorphed from popup to food truck to brick-and-mortar. “I helped open The Innkeeper, actually. And then it…

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Local 104
The Local 104 is doing wood-fired pizza, housemade ice cream, and craft beer — served by some longtime Seattle restaurateurs
When I was a student at Cornish College of the Arts in the late ’90s, still learning what I liked about food, I was deeply in love with a restaurant called 611 Supreme. On East Pine Street between Belmont and Boylston, 611 Supreme was a dreamy French-ish bistro of my never-traveled-anywhere teenage dreams: shabby chic…
Lucy’s Lifts Up Underrepresented Winemakers
New wine bar and bottle shop offers small-batch wines by women, BIPOC, and queer winemakers
Alyssa Lisle is out to crush the norms around wine. Lisle opened Lucy’s Bottle Shop in January in a nondescript midcentury warehouse at 23rd Avenue West and Emerson Street — the newest addition to a nameless little micro-neighborhood to the west of Fisherman’s Terminal, just around the corner from Figurehead Brewing. Its mission behind opening…

Chef Jan Parker is All Over the Map
As Reyna Filipina Kitchen prepares to open, the chef’s got her hands full with popups and dinner parties

Since 2018, the Tacoma-based popup and catering chef has been serving her fresh, dynamic Filipino cuisine at farmer’s markets, in wineries and breweries, at ticketed dinner parties, in holiday street festivals, even at flea markets and vintage clothing fairs. She’s also hard to…
