Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in West Seattle/Alki

I consider myself a pretty hard-core "foodie", and Terra Plata is my favorite restaurant for great food, great service, and great vibes in Seattle. Tonight we had a group of 13 for dinner before a show at the Paramount Theater. Our server was attentive and did a perfect job of pacing tje food to get us out the door at the preferred time. I let him choose our courses, and he wisely asked questions around the table about preferences and restrictions before sending out an amazing selection. The food was stellar, as is the norm for Terra Plata. After we finished, I had THREE of my guests come to me to tell me that it was one of the best meals they had ever eaten. Terra Plata really is that good! The Brussels sprouts are a personal favorite and everyone agreed that they were amazing. But there wasn't a single dish that was less than a 5/5 experience. Other highlights were the confit lamb riblets, beef cheek gnocchi, and blistered shishito peppers. If you go to Terra Plata as a group, try ordering family-style so you can taste more options.

Amazing food and beautiful environment. The service was just amazing and our waitress had so many fun thoughts to add in on our foods we ordered!

We had a most wonderful evening at Carmine's. Ryan took special care of us. He made sure it was an evening for us to remember, while providing exceptional service! Thank you Ryan! The rack of lamb, veal chop, sweet breads, carpaccio, all exceptional. Chef Juan, having been there, many years, is still putting out beautiful plates and most delicious food! It was lovely to spend the evening, in a place I've known so well, seeing that it remains one of the best restaurants in Seattle!

Was an amazing anniversary spending it at Salty’s! Thank you!

We had a wonderful time. The ravioli and fettuccine were amazing. You have to try the chocolate tart as well. We will definitely be back!
