- FFrankChicago / Illinois •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely love this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the food and drinks are superb, so is the view and so is service (for the most part). I almost always order from the special or seasonal menu, and this time was no exception. Winter salad, scallops, special drink and espresso. The ingredients are simple but masterfully prepared. Sometimes difficult to get a reservation, so worth planning ahead. Highly recommend.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8

- RRandySeattle / Eastern Washington •7 reviews4.0Dined on 10 Nov 2024I had the Camp West Smash burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve had in a while. I chose tater-tots with my meal for $3 more than fries. Some restaurants can be skimpy but Camp West gave me plenty. I really appreciate that considering the added surcharge. Our server was very attentive. The camping motif was excellent right down to the camping thermos on your table for water. The crafted cocktail I had was very good and priced reasonably. They accept reservations, which I appreciate, but didn’t appear needed at 7PM ON A SATURDAY. I haven’t been to camp West in a while and remembered I Loved it and will go back without waiting so long this time.More infoCamp WestPrice: Moderate• American• West Seattle/Alki•4.7
