Top Best American Restaurants in Snohomish

"You can paddle your kayak or drive your boat straight to Westward’s dock and then relax in one of the Adirondack chairs lining the coast overlooking Lake Union and wait for the waiter to bring you a glass of wine while you try to decide whether to go for the salmon gravlax tartine or the wood-fired striped mullet. While Westward’s dining room is lovely, with large windows and tasteful nautical décor, their outdoor patio is so wonderful that it is usually packed – the view is that spectacular. There is an atmosphere of a celebration, with colorful umbrellas during the day and distant sparkling city lights at night."

"Restaurants North Broadway. Overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union, Westward shows off all the goodies that the Pacific Northwest has to offer in every single dish. The venue also happens to be a fantastic destination for a romantic evening, during which lovers can gaze at the sunset from one of the adirondack chairs overlooking the lake."

"Set on the northern shore of Lake Union—a body of water the size of Monaco—this rustic-chic, nautical-themed restaurant offers dazzling views of the Space Needle and downtown skyline. Its menu blends Mediterranean flavors with local bounty: Expect..."

"Scott Staples built his burger bona fides at Quinn’s, then turned an old Fremont auto garage into a casual burger joint. Here, all-natural patties might be topped with gruyere and two kinds of mushrooms, or watercress, blue cheese, and caramelized onions. Customers might be budget-conscious food geeks or the sort of families who try to avoid family-geared restaurants."

"Scott Staples's masterful signature burgers, plus sandwiches, salads, fried cheese curds, and a kids menu, all available online during lunch and dinner business hours. A "'Berger and Burger" special gets you two bison burgers paired with a bottle of Washintgon's Kiona Lemberger for $60."

"The beefy, locally sourced burgers come in all sorts of worldly variations: Try the Monsieur, the Philly Smash or the Medi-terra lamb burger. They also have hearty veggie burgers, sandwiches and salads. The indoor seating area has lots of windows and there’s a deck for outdoor dining."

"Just when you think Gather Kitchen and Bar is your typical stylish brunch destination for upscale benedicts and decadent french toast, chef Ryan Donaldson comes at you with a spanish omelet that’s a glorious commotion of flavor and technique—tender octopus, crispy potatoes, deeply flavored chorizo around perfect eggs. Gather’s brunch menu has a ton of personality and an entire section devoted to “hangover specials,” like fried chicken and waffles rescued from maple syrup overload with buffalo sauce and house pickles. The pate a choux doughnuts look alarmingly large, but are actually light and airy—at least as far as fried dough is concerned."

"A post shared by Loulay Kitchen and Bar (@loulayseattle) on Nov 25, 2018 at 10:19am PST. Loulay was named after the chef’s hometown called Saint Hilaire de Loulay in France and they use only fresh and local ingredients for their dishes. Brunch, lunch, dinner, dessert and even cocktails are served to both locals and visitors alike."

"My husband and I were in town from Portland for our anniversary and had researched dinner spots ahead of time. On a Sunday evening, it was quiet,…"

"Though dining outdoors is an option provided by a number of restaurants in Seattle’s charming Ballard neighborhood, few offer a space as enchanting as the back patio at Percy’s & Co. With lush foliage nearly everywhere you look, it’s a fitting environment to enjoy one of their herbaceous, apothecary-inspired cocktails like the Midnight Bloom, finished with a swirl of lavender-infused honey. Adria Saracino of The Emerald Palate and self-guided Seattle food tours states, “Percy’s & Co. is one of my go-to bars in Ballard."

"The restraint one might see in a French bistro is replaced here with a broad streak of wanton excess (see burger with Beecher’s palate-lacquering white cheddar, see over-buttered grilled Columbia City Bakery bread). The long narrow room—bar on one side, dining tables on the other—is awkwardly cramped, making summer, when the partially covered patio off the Burke-Gilman Trail is roaring morning to night, this restaurant’s prime time."

"Magnolians are wild about their merry trattoria, swathed in the hues of clear skies and rosy sunsets and accented with the homespun sorts of tchotchkes that give restaurants soul. Not that Mondello needed help with soul. Native Sicilians run the place, bringing a background burble of Italian to the house, which, combined with the lingua franca of classic Italian food (housemade pastas and zuppe and meaty secondi), makes Magnolia Village feel like a neighborhood in Palermo."

"Magnolia residents have fallen for this little spot in the village, where owners Corino and Enza have been making hand-made pasta for years. One can usually tell how good a restaurant is by the quality of their simple dishes, and the utterly divine spaghetti carbonara with fresh pancetta is heavenly. View this post on Instagram"

"In a former life 15 years ago, it was a Dunkin’ Donuts, hence the familiar looking signage with a pink, sprinkle-adorned doughnut. But today, this bakeshop situated in the northern reaches of the city fries its own doughy creations: honey-glazed doughnut holes, chocolate topped with chopped peanut, even a pleasantly crunchy, plain old-fashioned."
