Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Capitol Hill / First Hill

Wonderful brunch in a very cute, eclectic atmosphere with great service!

The food was fantastic - the crab donut was a revelation. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere was lively and engaging. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Seattle and we always have a wonderful overall experience when we dine here.

Always delightful to dine with wonderful Italian cuisine and service in the classic space. We’ve been patrons since the 1980s and we keep returning.

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.

Food was good not great. This was our 2nd time here and this time our service was great.
