Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Magnolia

I told our waiters, who was FANTASTIC, that after going to many restaurants on Queen Anne over the past 30 years, that Grappa is one of the only ones that I can say has continued to trend upwards in Service, Quality of Food and consistency. While almost all others up here have become stagnant in those areas, Grappa has become a Go-To restaurant.

Food was great. I believe there were some staffing issues so service was a bit slow. They generously gifted us some complimentary glasses of wine.

Every time we go to dinner at Betty, we are not disappointed. From wine to starter to main to dessert, everything was beautifully prepared and presented. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We didn't feel rushed to eat and leave, and the wait person paid attention enough to note that I had not finished my main, and asked (before I did) if I needed it boxed.

Brunch here is always good! The bacon is some of the best in Seattle. Portions are large...so plan accordingly. It's lively the way any good diner should be.

Jacob was a very wonderful, attentive waiter and Jeff was fantastic with his breadth of knowledge about wine and spirits. He recommended an excellent rye for me, a bourbon gal, and it was phenomenal (it was EH Taylor Straight Rye). The food was delicious and the beverages were very tasty. Highly recommend!
