Top Seattle Dining Experiences

Silias was amazing, knowledgeable & full of information. We loved our day spent with him. My husband sat in the front seat with Silias because of bad knees, & commented several times how safe a driver Silias is, AND, his driving didn't make him nervious, ( husband is normally a terrible front seat passenger ).

Our trip to Leavenworth was fantastic. Mehrdad, our driver/guide, was great. He took us to see waterfalls that we would never have found if he hadn’t walked us there. He knew the good angles for photos and had some good lines to make us laugh. Another hour at Leavenworth would have been nice but then we may not have had time to see the additional sights such as the tiny church. Highly recommend.

Mehrdad was a fantastic tour guide! The best of the best! Informative, personable, knowledgeable and fun! We felt very taken care of by him! He took photos for us, educated us on a lot of things, is very kind and hospitable. Thank you for everything Mehrdad!

Mehrdad — excellent job on our tour. Your friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating demeanor made it a wonderful day. Our lunch at Hollywood Tavern was delicious. Great menu!

Great food and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my cruise. Wonderful way to enjoy the views of Seattle from Lake Union.

This was a marvelous cruise. The entire staff was very friendly. The food was so delicious. The ship was very clean. The the restroom was also very w.

If you’re even remotely interested in cocktails, the Mad Scientist Mixology Class is an experience you shouldn’t miss.What I loved most was how hands-on and interactive the class was. They provide recipe reference cards if you want guidance, but they also encourage you to experiment, get creative, and build cocktails your own way in their “lab.” It felt less like a class and more like being a bartender for the day.The selection of ingredients was incredible—from an extensive range of spirits, liqueurs, and mixers to an impressive collection of dehydrated fruits, herbs, and spices. Learning how to use these ingredients to infuse flavor into cocktails was fascinating, and the smoking techniques they demonstrated added another level of creativity to the experience.A special shoutout to Jen, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire session fun and approachable, whether you were a beginner or an experienced cocktail enthusiast.Another thing I really appreciated is that they offer both cocktail and mocktail options, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. They also host private events and team-building sessions at office locations (where permitted), which would make for such a fun and unique work event.I can’t wait to do this again. Whether you’re planning a date night, a get-together with friends, or a team outing, this is an experience I’d wholeheartedly recommend.

My husband and I booked the cooking class with our son and his girlfriend. We all had a great time and had fun cooking a healthy meal.

The tour was exactly as the description explained. Just make sure you read the full description before booking. I probably wouldn’t pay $157 for the experience if you have a car available and could just go yourself. It was also a little more intimate than we expected (we were the only 2 on the tour), which isn’t a bad thing, just plan for a very small group. All of this considered, Eve was amazing so I can’t give her any less than 5 stars.

Eva was amazing. She provided great information and took us to wonderful places.

I absolutely love it and my wife was stunned with the view that you never see everyday, food was amazing and staff are very friendly.

We had a fantastic time learning about the ingredients and combinations, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, that result into myriad of flavors, both complex and clean. It was great getting to create cloudy smoky beverages with a blowtorch, creating theatrical cocktails, and learning the nuances of bitters, of freeze-dried v roasted non-perishable ingredients.We also had a lot of fun watching the theatrical components of the Greenfire space, which is a bit like a cirque performance. Last but not least, it is always great fun to become another character, mad scientists all in craft cocktail making.

Get ready for a fantastic adventure in new flavors and surprising combinations. Jen is a superior host and lets you explore all the crazy combos you can think of. I am a novice cocktail maker and had success. My husband is a true aficionado and discovered new things! So good for all experience levels.

From the moment I stepped into the space at Melrose Market and headed upstairs, I was immediately immersed in the experience. You’re greeted, handed a lab coat, and invited to choose your own scientist name, which sets the tone right away. I went with Dr. Love (because Love is my middle name , and from there, it was pure fun.This isn’t just a tasting it’s a hands-on, science-based mixology experience. You get to experiment with fresh ingredients, explore flavor combinations, and create cocktails and mocktails that are both intentional and delicious. It truly feels like stepping into a playful lab where creativity and curiosity lead the way.I loved the variety of ingredients, the choices, and the freedom to create. You’re not just drinking you’re learning, experimenting, and having fun. I went alone and had an amazing time, but this would be perfect for friends, groups, or a special outing.Highly recommend if you’re looking for something interactive, joyful, and different. I can’t wait to do it again .

What a wonderful experience! Brittney and her husband welcomed us into their home for a spectacular 3+hour experience like none other. We got to know each other while we participated in preparing an impressive meal … and we got culinary tips along the way. Brittney’s culinary skills are amazing! Our menu: Sockeye Salmon with Walnut Basil Pesto, Spinach Goat Cheese Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette, Za’atar Roasted Carrots and Chocolate Tahini Truffles with Pomegranate Molasses served with Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris from Oregon. The tastes in all were amazing!!! Put an in-home dinner with a chef from The Traveling Spoon on your “what-to-do-when-traveling” list. That’s what we did in Seattle… and will do so for future trips elsewhere. That’s because Brittney said the company has participating chefs in cities around the world! Thank you Brittney for welcoming us into your home for an experience we loved!!!

Our guide was wonderful. We stopped and took pictures with Harry from Harry and the Hendersons on the way to Leavenworth. We also checked out Deception Falls. While in Leavenworth, we checked out Bären Haus for lunch. Come hungry! The portions are huge. Leavenworth is a drive outside of Seattle but worth it. Thanks again to Silas for being an awesome guide.
