Our server, Frank, remembered us from a visit 3 months earlier. His service was impeccable and very thoughtful. Lunch was delicious as always and my 91 year old mother loves the fish and chips. We also got the quinoa salad and for dessert, the tiramisu and chocolate cake. Beautifully presented and Frank made our lunch even more special.

Single Shot is a gem of Seattle. The food on the menu is from personally sourced vendors selected by the owner. Each time the menu varies slightly, but is consistent enough that you know your favorites will be there. It is excuisite and you feel like you've really had a special dining experience. Single Shot has been in the neighborhood so long that they and the employees feel like friends.

This is our 4th time coming to this restaurant. They are always consistent and the food and staff are wonderful. My 16 y.o. Daughter requests this restaurant when we have a special event downtown. Free parking, delicious food, friendly staff, what’s not to love?
