    Delicious. We were a party of 8. Two people needed gluten-free and it was so nice that they could order whatever they wanted. Everyone said how delicious the food was. We will definitely go back again!

    This was a fantastic dining experience. The chef was the greeter and it was wonderful to meet him! The waitstaff was as knowledge, helpful, and patient. The food was delicious and the menu was curated beautifully. You have to try the corn gibblets!

    I made dinner reservations for my staff at A Stir after a conference in Seattle, though I was unable to attend myself—and I must say, I’m so bummed I missed it! The following Monday, I was greeted in the office by my entire team raving about how amazing the food and service were. Every dish was packed with flavor and crafted with quality. With team members who are gluten-free, it was crucial to find a restaurant that offered more than just a basic salad. A Stir exceeded expectations with a full menu of creative, nutritious dishes and an extensive selection of wine, cider, and gluten-free beer. On the morning of our reservation, I received a thoughtful email from the executive chef, Ton, with personalized recommendations. This added such a nice touch and made the experience even smoother for my team. Our reservation was at 6:15, and when my team arrived, dishes were freshly served, hot, and ready—a perfect way to unwind after a long few days at the conference. Dining at A Stir was the ideal way to close out their weekend, and I can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Seattle to experience it myself. Thank you, Ton and the entire A Stir team, for providing my staff with such a refreshing and memorable dining experience!

    We have only recently had to change to a gluten free diet. We were delighted to discover A Stir, a restaurant with all gluten free, not just a dish or two. The grilled cauliflower was amazing, the lamb burger delicious, and the lobster Mac and Cheese was a hit. Add to these dishes a great selection of ciders and wines, it was a wonderful evening out. We will be back.

    This was the perfect place to take a group from out of town with many different dining needs: gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. Highly recommend! Nice atmosphere!

    We had an outstanding experience from the food, to the ambiance and service. The crab cakes were very meaty with minimal breadcrumbs. Lobster Mac was indulgent and the spaghetti Amatriciana was packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly al dente—I couldn’t believe it was gluten-free! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and the chef was generous with his time getting to know us. The decors is both sophisticated and casual at the same time, very comfortable.

    I’m so glad they still have the fish n chips, my favorite! We shared two veggies for an appetizer; everyone enjoyed their dinners. Desserts were good, not fab but the birthday candles were much appreciated. ;-)

    Really delicious and loved that it was gluten free. We all wanted so many things on the menu. But we had an 8:15 pm reservation and unfortunately a number of things were sold out. Still, a solid place to recommend.
