i never get to eat fried calamaei or crab cakes because I have celiac. This was a fantastic restaurant for food and drinks and dessert and ambiance. So happy with this place and highly recommend!

Mediocre food (Bar food, poorly executed), mediocre service. The venue itself is uninspiring, and the outdoor seating is right in your cars and lots of folk who ask for handouts.
It is commendable that this is 100% gluten-free and it’s location in Capitol Hill is fantastic. However, there are tons of Seattle restaurants that have gluten-free items on their menus. and 100% gluten-free brewery Ghostfish has fantastic food, wonderful staff and a light airy atmosphere.

I recently dined at a stir, a dedicated gluten-free restaurant in Seattle, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. While some dishes like the fried cheese curds, fish and chips, and crab cakes showed promise, the overall dining experience fell short.
The salads were lackluster, lacking freshness and creativity, and the wine pairings failed to complement the meal effectively. As for desserts, the rice pudding and chocolate mousse with tahini left a literal bad taste in my mouth hours after leaving. The flavors of beans and tahini lingered unpleasantly, overshadowing any enjoyment from the meal.
While I appreciate the restaurant's mission to cater to gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diners, the execution was disappointing. Despite the mixed reviews, I had hoped for a better experience.
Moreover, the service was subpar. While the hostess was pleasant, the waitress was cold and unwelcoming, making us feel like a burden rather than valued customers. If only I could tip the hostess separately for her friendliness and attentiveness.
Overall, while this place may have its merits, the inconsistencies in food quality and lackluster service make it difficult to overlook the shortcomings.

Other than home cooking, this was my first meal eating out where I did not feel sick after. My son who is not food sensitive also enjoyed his meal quoting ‘flavourful with just the right amount of spices’ Staff was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Will definitely be coming back!

Everything here is GF. Stress free!
We split the calamari, fish and chips and broccolini--it was just the right amount of food for the 2 of us.
The deep fry was just right and the fish was perfect. We sent the first bowl of chips back -cold, soggy- and got cool, still somewhat soggy chips in exchange. Server’s fault-they had sat around too long. Broccolini could have been more cooked but the light sauce and pickled onions were nice.
We also liked the caramelly sauce on the calamari and even got a dipping serving.
They have an extensive cider menu as well as mixed drinks.
Service was quick.

AMAZING! The food was delicious and the price point was perfect. The vibe and decor is worth a visit alone. I had the bison and veal meatballs, creative and delicious! I don't consume much meat, and this was a real treat.
One note, my friend got the pulled pork sandwich and the bun fell apart immediately, so he ate it with a fork. It was delicious, but maybe they should plate that sandwich differently to account for how gf buns behave. The French fries were THE BEST I've ever had. You have to try the cheese curds and crispy Brussel sprouts .

We are there last night and everything was wonderful. The restaurant is totally gluten free. We had been there before when it was called Capitol Cider. The sign outside is still up, but it is now A Stir Bar and Restaurant.
We shared several appetizers and had wine and cider. Everything is delicious but the Fried White Cheddar Curds with Apple Butter and the Fish & Chips are our favorites.

This used to be my go-to restaurant in the area as I have celiac and my partner has a severe nut allergy, but the changes made when changing the business from Capitol Cider to a stir have been disappointing. I’m very happy they still serve the cheese curds—they’re fantastic, as many other reviewers have noted—but the other alterations to the menu seem mostly to have upped the prices and shrunk the portion sizes, particularly for the entrees.
I dined at a stir about two months ago and it was a bit of a confusing experience. Our waiter (who was lovely) explained that the restaurant no longer had a dedicated GF kitchen, which is in direct opposition to what it says on the restaurant’s website. I’m pretty certain the waiter just misspoke but it unfortunately put me on edge for the meal.

Order was fantastic all-around. Ate with multiple celiac and gluten-intolerant people and everyone had a great time. Incredible service.

A fantastic experience overall! They are a dedicated gluten and nut free kitchen, and clearly indicate other allergens on their menu. My partner and I shared the calamari which was delicious and each got our own entrees which were fantastic (def try the fried chicken blt). Great drink list as well. Service was top notch.

edit 2023-12-03: Glad that they are finally trying something new with the menu, and interested to see how it evolves. I think the new name "a stir" might be the worst restaurant name I've ever heard and I refuse to call it that.
original review 2020-03-30: Have eaten here twice with confidence. The first time, I dined in, and got lemon garlic fettuccine and cod cakes. Both were excellent, but sadly no longer on the current "greatest hits" menu. The second time, I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was okay, but bland. The current menu is inoffensive, but not very interesting. I might eat here again, but it's pretty expensive for simple food that I can easily make myself at home. A bolder menu would really draw me in.

100% GF: great.
A few standout items (cheese curds!) but seems like the menu has gotten less amazing over the years with fewer of the standout items and more of the “eh ok” items.

As someone with celiac, it is so freeing being able to sit down and order anything I want off of the menu. The cheese curds are especially good, crispy and light. Looking forward to coming back and trying more options. Only comment would be the restaurant’s name change makes no sense to me.

As someone who is celiac with a severe nut allergy- this place is my favorite. They are a dedicated gluten free and nut free kitchen, I think I heard the owner’s grandkids have bad allergies that inspired them to have an allergy friendly kitchen. Plus their food is amazing. Many of my friends who CAN eat gluten are impressed and happy to return.

Super comfortable eating here. The kitchen is dedicated GF. The cheese curds were absolutely to die for. Like those were good enough that I'd happily come back. But the burger and blt fc dish were only ok, they were so so salty. Also, I expected more than udi's GF bread. But at the end of the day, safe is always good.

I didn't drink, but ate their twice while in town - once in the restaurant and once from UberEats. 100% GF kitchen so all good there. Food is delicious! Had the kale salad and a burger and fries. Bun was Udi's I believe they said - so nothing special. But the rest of the food was amazing. Also had chicken wings because finding a dedicated fryer is tough - they were excellent!! Friendly staff too. Loved it here!! 10/10

Nice pub in Capitol Hill.
Food is okayy for a pub meal, nothing crazy special but everything is safe.
The fries were good, my burger was a bit salty and my husbands steak was a little over cooked.
Deserts were great - the chocolate fondant was yum.
Very safe - no gluten in the facility

Great experience! The entire menu was gluten free. Our daughter was ecstatic to be able to order without worrying. The fries, steak, and chicken wings were amazing. Cocktails were unique and the service was great. We went twice on our 4 day vacation and would recommend for any celiacs wanting to have a great experience.

Everything is gluten free which is great. The service is terrible the place was empty and even though I made a reservation beforehand for early afternoon. I understand there's only two people working pretty much, but it took them forever to come to the table just to take the order. I had to ask them to come and it took 33 minutes all together of waiting.
The food is pretty good though. I got the french toast and it was good. The hand cut fries were good.
The last thing I got was the Cinnamon Rolls. Probably the worst I've ever had. Hard and taste like wood. I only ate half of one and you get two

Came for brunch. Breakfast sandwich was very flavorful and the cinnamon rolls were small but good. My friend got the burger and the bun unfortunately fell apart, but the fries were super good. Very happy with our meal and glad we don’t have to worry about cross contamination.

The food was amazing. We had the fried cheese curds, wings, fish n chips, fried chicken and a burger. The burger was a miss with an udis bun falling apart. We also had 2 mead flights. Considering it’s a cider place I wasn’t impressed with their selection and would say check out locust cider near pikes market. The service was horrendous. We reserved a table on Sunday for a Tuesday night, 3 people, outdoors. When we got there they could t accommodate us because they had given away all the big tables and just wanted to stick an extra chair at a small table so we ended up inside. There appeared to be only 2 waiters for the entire place and the one we had seemed overwhelmed. It took 20 min for him to remember we were there. Our food came out before our drinks because the bar was backed up. The whole experience was just a miss sadly.
