Queen City Grill was around long before Belltown became Seattle’s restaurant Riviera. For 20 years in an 87 year-old brick building, this neighborhood restaurant has earned a reputation for making time stand still. A dozen private tall-backed wooden booths comfortably seating four, white-clothed tables with a window view and an award-winning wine list are attractive enough, but add some seductive jazz and an attentive staff and you can understand why it this Belltown grill continues to fill the house. In the summer you can dine outside.

Seafood is their specialty: oysters, crabcakes, shrimp and they grill fresh Salmon and Halibut to perfection. But if you have already fulfilled your weekly Omega 3 requirement there is always a generous portion of braised meat and grilled chop on the menu. Ask about the daily special. Appetizers and salads are made with the freshest available ingredients and the portions will not leave you wanting.

Queen City Grill is popular because it is consistently good food and exceptional service. The wine list really is award-winning--by no less than the Wine Spectator. This is a place that the TourSaver highly recommends.
