Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Columbia City

We went for their Valentine's Day pre fix menu, and it was amazing. It's a beautiful, quaint, little romantic spot with excellent food, excellent drinks, and amazing service. If you get Bruce you're in for a wonderful evening. Great place for special occasion or a romantic night out.

Great Valentine’s Day dinner…found this gem on Open Table and they had a prix fixe menu that night with amazing choices. So delicious and good portion size. The s’mores dessert made at the table was the best! The high end and comfortable camp decor was perfect and so were the cocktails. Our waiter Patrick was great and so was the hostess and bartender. Highly recommend trying this special spot!

Grappa Seattle offers a fantastic Italian dining experience, and my recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of my meal was the seafood risotto, which was perfectly creamy, rich in flavor, and packed with fresh seafood. Each bite had a wonderful balance of tender rice, briny sweetness from the seafood, and just the right amount of seasoning. It truly transported me to the coast of Italy. Beyond the risotto, their Italian-inspired dishes are equally impressive. From the beautifully plated appetizers to the carefully crafted pastas, everything exudes authenticity and attention to detail. I also appreciated their mocktail selection, which offered a refreshing variety beyond the usual overly sweet sodas. It was a great touch that added to the overall experience. My only critique would be the portion sizes, which felt a bit on the smaller side. While the quality was top-notch, I wouldn’t have minded a slightly more generous serving. That said, Grappa’s warm ambiance, attentive service, and outstanding flavors make it a must-visit for Italian food lovers in Seattle. I’ll definitely be returning!

 we had a great time here, we were seated promptly for our reservation. The food was excellent. Every dish was good and tasted fresh. We didn’t feel rushed.

Great place, very cool atmosphere! Visited many time from Victoria BC one of our favourite hotel bars menu is limited but good quality
