stoneburner

we went to stoneburner for anotherdinnerand found again an interesting and compelling set of flavors with every dish. they rely on grilled and hot-oven made food which yields rich tasting but not fatty foods. the grilled broccoli was accompanied with a delicious tahini and i would definitely order this again. even the ziti with sausage was surprisingly deep in flavor due to the flame oven finish. the chicken was covered in moroccon flavored spices, moist and delicious. attentive but not intrusive service. lots of people in the restaurant, set within the heart of the ballard neighborhood. you can't go wrong here - something for everyone. pizzas, fish, meats, small plates, large plates, even interesting desserts.

a perfect farmer's market brunch spot!. i've been to stoneburner several times both for brunch and dinner. fordinnerwe sat at the bar and it was very fun to watch the kitchen work including their pasta chef who was hand rolling pasta. they have a great combination of a beautiful interior with a slightly hotel bar kind of feel that somehow continues to work in the neighborhood.

however, i think your best bet is brunch before our after the sunday farmer's market. they have beautiful french pressed coffee and fluffy omelettes. on a sunny day, get a seat in the open window and people watch the morning away.

a solid a++ experience. on a trip to the ballard sunday farmers market we stopped at stoneburner for a late brunch--which proved to be an inspired choice. we were seated next to the window--well, where the window would be when the glass doors fronting the restaurant were closed--but they were slid wide open and our booth was slightly elevated above and open to the street. it gave our meal a european ambiance which caused me to order a lovely glass of prosecco. for our meal we each had a hazelnut scone and each declared it to be the best scone we ever had (and the rhubarb jam spread made my day). to round it out we split two sizable vegetable orders: the roasted spiced heirloom carrots with sesame seeds and the roasted cauliflower with pistachios, chili oil and golden raisins. the creativity reflected in the flavors and appearance of these vegetables sets a very high bar. top this all off with excellent service and i now can't wait to return to see how creative they are with theirdinnerselections.

one of the top best restaurants in seattle!. my husband and i discovered this restaurant during ballard's delightful sunday market. everything about this place checks our list of what we seek when we go out for a dining experience; ambience, ability to have a conversation, good friendly service, good lighting, and of course good food. but the cuisine here is more then good food; amazing flavors, fresh ingredients, and unpretentious presentation is a feast to the palate. i had the lamb hash, and my husband went for a more traditional brunch menu of scrambled eggs. it was simply delicious!
portions are just right, and prices are very reasonable especially considering the quality of food. we decided we will go back to explore theirdinnermenu. it's now on our lit of "go-to" places. highly recommend it.
