Best European Restaurants in Victory Heights

We dined at Over the Moon for Valentines Day. From start to finish, the experience delivered everything we hoped for when we booked the reservation. We started w/ the clams, waldorf salad, and bisque. Clams: Smaller starter packed w/ flavor. Perfect way to start the evening. The fresh sourdough bread dipped in the clam broth was quite enjoyable. Waldorf salad: The beat/ parsnip puree in this salad was phenomenal and paired beautifully w/ the frisee, walnuts, and pickled fruits. Bisque: Light, refined, and filled w/ crab. Saved some sourdough for dipping and basically scraped the bowl clean. For mains, we had the duck breast and lobster mac and cheese. Duck: Perfectly cooked, crispy skin, unctuous cherry reduction. The side mashers and veg paired well. Lobster Mac: Very filling. Lobster chunks were apparent is nearly every single bite. To finish the meal, we enjoyed the lemon posset, which provided the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Light, refreshing, and topped w/ a to-die-for strawberry sauce. Wish I had another right now. We always love our dining experiences at Over the Moon and this one was no exception. Needless to say, we'll be back sooner rather than later.

Our first time eating here, despite being locals. The food isn't fancy, but it is good. Mostly authentic Bavarian fare, with a few modern dishes or modern takes on tradition (i.e., habanero-cheddar or Sichuan wursts). Good local tap line. And 5 indoor bocce ball courts! Where else can you find that in Seattle? We went early on a Friday before an event, and the place was pretty sleepy other than a private party at the back. The service was slow but friendly. I think they were still ramping up for the dinner crowd. It is a big place, with lots of seating. Outdoor garden seating with another bocche court as well. I can imagine it might get a bit loud when full. We will definitely go back.

Our Happy Hour orders were perfection. Sardines, salads, clams. Our dinner orders were superb. My wife’s fish was perfectly cooked. Moist & tender meat & crispy skin. My chicken was cooked very well. Soft & tender meat. Only complaint was our bread was cold & it took awhile for our main course to arrive. But other than that hiccup, everything was great. Our servers were attentive to our table. Would mind going back at all or trying the other Sea Creature restos

The food and wine were excellent, and the service was well-timed and friendly. My friends and I had a great Galentine’s Day dinner!

The food at Ada's never disappoints. We had the kofte and the ravioli this time. The beef in particular was extremely well seasoned and tender. I'm also a fan of their muhammara. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
