Local 360

Breakfast was good. Our server took a very long time to come to our table and the hostess ended up taking our order and taking care of us (she was great). The Shaksuka is very tasty but it’s basically a large bowl of marinara sauce. The bread to sauce ratio is very off, I would definitely ask for several extra slices of bread if I was to order it again. Otherwise, you’re basically just eating (spicy and delicious) marinara sauce.

Great happy hour at this cool spot in Belltown! The red wine was solid, and we ordered a half dozen oysters at $1.50 per on happy hour. They were so good we got another six! Great service at the bar and it was easy to get a seat in mid-afternoon. Will come again and try the sliders next time. Olympic Otter

The chicken sliders are 5 bucks on happy hour. In fact, everything was $5. We got 5 oysters, the sliders, and the chicken pate. Everything was good and the service was great. There are two medium sized patios outside, but they were full or reserved by 5:10. Indoor seating was plentiful and still had an open-air feeling.

If it doesn't come from within 360 miles of the restaurant, they don't serve it. Talk about eat local! No, my chicken wasn't named Colin, but this does feel like an exclusive club - without the stuffiness. Like an English pub kicked up a few notches. Seating inside was cozy and private. Date night would be lovely here. Seating available outside on a terrace and a sweet little corner of patio that is just darling. My steak was cooked to perfection with a dollop of bone marrow butter. I didn't get pictures of the oysters, beautiful charred asparagus appetizer or the selection of local cheeses accompanied by local raw honey, jam and crusty bread. I guess we were too excited to eat! They're rocking a smaller menu at the moment, so I'm not sure about a kids menu, but they very kindly offered to split the burger onto two separate plates for the kids. Our mocktail was a yummy orange juice concoction with rhubarb syrup and smashed cherries. We live in Florida, but if we did, this would be a regular spot for us. Reservations recommended as they can get quite busy.

**Review for the new vegan tasting menu** The food was exquisite and the staff were so incredibly warm and welcoming to us! The pacing of the meal was perfect, with just enough time for us to savor and discuss each course. They were also kind enough to talk at length with us about each dish as it was served. I will definitely try to make it back in the Fall/Winter to see what they come up with next! Thank you for a lovely late-summer feast 😊

Wonderfully fluffy biscuits! Biscuits and gravy is delitefully flavored, eggs are well prepared, good potatoes O'Brien. Hash is mostly meat with large chunks, not what I normally expect with a hash but if you are looking for a meaty breakfast that would be it. Took a star off since my food was only slightly warm when served as if it had been sitting for a bit. Good atmosphere, not the most comfortable seats (wood benches), friendly staff.

My second time at this place and it clearly did not disappoint. The servers here are very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I did ask plenty of questions, mainly because of my own diet, and they were very helpful in explaining the ingredients in each dish. I ended up getting the braised ribs. They were great. I would not have thought that beets complimented beef, but the dish was well put together. We also got the Local 360 Cola, which is something I highly recommend. The atmosphere here is very dark and warm. Candles light each table for dinner and cast a great glow over the food and the room. We did not end up getting dessert this time, but I did take a picture of all the menus available. This place can get pretty crowded so make sure to book a reservation online!

Local 360 is a 5-8 minute walk out of the central Pike Place market area of Seattle and just far enough out of the center that, as the name implies, you won’t find more tourists than locals. The name actually comes from the concept that the ingredients of everything they serve come from within 360 miles of the restaurant…so all relatively locally sourced. We were there on a Sunday morning, so prime brunch time and without a reservation, we were seated at bar although there were open two tops the entire time were there. Despite the less comfortable seating, the bar offers the full menu and service and you get a nice view of cocktails being made. I had a biscuit with raspberry jam and fruit. I loved what I had a few days earlier at another restaurant that has “biscuit” in the name, but this was definitely one of the best biscuits I’ve ever had. It was shortening based so gave just the right flaky texture and tasted super good with their jam, which also made the coffee taste much better. (What is it about sweets that make coffee taste like magic?) Prior to the biscuit arriving I was served a cup of Blue Star coffee which was initially not as strong as I would have liked, but also not acidic like some of the others i'd had in Seattle, and as I mentioned, once I got the biscuit and jam, the coffee fixed itself right up on my palate. I also had a side of fruit which was apples, oranges and dried cranberries. They weren’t quite in season but tasted good. I would have rather had something fresh than the dried cranberries with sugar added. My wife had goat yogurt with granola. The yogurt was super creamy and not sweetened (thought it was served with honey). They had to specially prepare the granola for her as she eats gluten-free and normally they prepare their granola rolled with sugar and flour. (Getting the chef to do a gluten free preparation of this involved a couple rounds of back and forth with the waiter and the chef, but they eventually relented. Thanks Local 360!) Their menu is labeled with “V” next to vegetarian items which is super friendly to us vegetarians and there were lots of other choices on the menu including a roasted beet burger The staff was also super friendly and, maybe this was a product of sitting at the bar, but they were singing along to the music being played in the restaurant…which was fun to watch. Brunch and a show!
