Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Laurelhurst

We had an attentive waitress who was knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. The noise was a little bothersome at first but there was great energy in the place so it’s a trade off I could get past. The food was excellent. The cocktail was delicious. I highly recommend taking an Uber/Lyft. The parking on the side streets on a Friday night was maddening. The dining experience was worth it though. I will definitely go again.

Such a lovely night and dining experience all the way around. Food and drinks were absolutely exceptional. Service - wonderful: attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance…lovely, but just a bit chilly by the front door. Looking forward to returning soon.

This is one legendary restaurant that lives up to its legend. The food is out of this world. The service is brilliant. The room with a view is spectacular and the room in the lounge is cozy. This is a go-to place for special occasions. Thank you to Jackie, Jeannie and the whole staff who greeted us and our special guest so warmly.

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.

We live in the neighborhood and love Shambles. The food and cocktails are great and the ambiance is vibrant and cozy. We've always liked it since they first opened but I do think there have been a few changes for the better since new ownership took over...mainly a more diverse menu and just a few touches to the space that have elevated the space a bit. Definitely recommend it!
