I have been here many times over many years. I come for the fantastic vegetables. I learned how to love their carrots and cauliflower (two vegetables I had previously avoided in my life). Lots of other delicious veggies and appetizers too.
Gorgeous venue, beautiful windows that open on balmy days. Gorgeous traditional woodwork, and brasswork Excellent staff who are very helpful for this gluten-free and dairy free person.
It’s located in a charming part of old Ballard. It’s on the same street as the Sunday Ballard farmers’ market and we like coming here after we finish our shopping.
I’m writing this in spring of 2024 and they are seriously understaffed. So we have sometimes had to wait a bit even though there were many empty tables. It was worth the wait.
I don’t eat any of their pastas or pizzas because of possible contamination.

The food is quite good but beware the GF pasta is not safe for those with Celiac. Strange that a place which makes homemade GF pasta would do it in the same pasta maker as the normal pasta maker. It’s amazing they make it from scratch and depressing that it’s not for those who actually need it. Fish here was very good as were the veggies. Chef apparently has Celiac and while there are plenty of GF options, they don’t instill the greatest confidence. Roasted veggies are made in same brick oven as their pizza (they don’t do GF pizza). Anyway, it’s a good place with great atmosphere, but be sure to ask questions.
