Best British Restaurants in Ballard

Overall we had a great night! It was exactly the vibe we were in the mood for, and the food was very good. My wife raved about the Pacific salmon and mashed potato’s. I enjoyed the beef and mushroom pie (comfort food at its finest on a rainy fall evening in Seattle) with a couple of pints. It’s served with a nice light salad and portioned extremely well, which is important, especially with the likelihood of an ale chaser. There were a couple of hiccups in service, but hey, it’s a pub atmosphere on a Friday night, so we just chalked it up to part of the experience…it’s certainly nothing that will keep us from returning. Cheers!

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Queen Mary with a group of friends celebrating a birthday. It was delicious, as always, and the service was especially good. Kudos to the Queen Mary! I grew up overseas and attended a British boarding school with tea every day, so I have high standards. The QM never disappoints. In fact, I’ve had tea at the Four Seasons in DC and in Seattle, tea at Bouchart Gardens in Victoria, and tea in Hong Kong at the Penninsula (back in the day) and none of them were as good as Seattle’s Queen Mary. It is one of my favorite places.

A friend and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea with a good selection of teas and delicious savories and sweets. Bubbly options are also offered. Service was friendly and gracious. Highly recommend.

Our Scary Witch tea was the perfect way to spend a spooky Halloween afternoon! Thank you so much!
