The best asset The Palace Kitchen has is the atmosphere.  It feels like you're in a dark and cozy mountain lodge.  The next best thing is the food.  It's a mixture of fancy and rustic.  The service is also good, but that's expected since they must…More »

One of the best burgers in town.

This place is a fun, relaxed, friendly, ecofriendly? restaurant in Belltown.  Nice staff.  Great menu.  Yummy food.  I definitely recommend it.  

It's sort of like Lola, which I also enjoy.
