Best Family Style Restaurants in Magnolia

Great food . Service was also very good with a friendly staff. One of my favorite restaurants I like to visit when we are in Seattle!

Luis and the food were amazing! Spinasse continues to be our favorite!

Amazing experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine. Homey and elegant at the same time. The owners were so friendly and on Valentine’s Day, the restaurant experience was very well orchestrated for all. They had a special menu which included great choices for first course, second course and dessert. I had rigatoni with pesto and prawns, my husband had the asparagus risotto with lemon and orange zest. The dessert was scrumptious. I had the Panna Cotta which might be the best dessert I’ve ever tasted. It had a strawberry purée and lemon and orange extract with vanilla. So smooth and delicious! Thank you for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back for more.

The rice cakes are a staple and delicious as always, the Muscovy duck was new as was the winter root vegetables, which were both excellent. Don't sleep on the sauces they are each nestled in, it takes these 2 dishes to the next level.

I had family here from California, and we arranged to meet at this restaurant, which I had been to once previously. I remembered that it was good, and also that it was near Seattle Center, and I had a hunch these two would want to poke around over there once our meal was done, so it was a perfect location. The service was warm and friendly, but never intrusive, and the food was divine. I ordered the "sweet stuff" French toast with caramel and strawberries; nobody else makes it like this, and it was mouthwatering! I also ordered (to go) some "soft scramble" eggs with asparagus and Dungeness crab. It's so hard to get real, fresh crab anymore, what with the overfishing, but my eggs had actual leg segments of crab in them, a perfect ratio of filling to egg. The eggs came with their amazing potatoes, and my husband and I had that dish, along with a small amount of leftovers from my French Toast, for dinner that night. This may be my favorite Seattle restaurant right now! The cherry on the sundae, so to speak, was that when we were finished, we sat and chatted and nobody seemed anxious to kick us out of our booth. Oh hell yes.
