š“ Seattleās Hidden Gem Mediterranean Restaurant, Homer
The term āhidden gemā might be relative, as it seems to be less known among Asians, but itās actually super popular and bustling! š„ The chefs here look pretty cool, exuding a chill and confident vibe, like theyāre saying, āI cook, you eat, no questions asked.ā The burly chef guy looks like he really knows his way around the kitchen. š Rating: 4.5/5 (loses points for the wait, but still worth it) ā Lesson learned: Arrived at 18:00 and waited a painful 90 minutes! (The wine at Little Things next door is pretty good though.) No reservations for parties under 6, itās walk-in only. āŖ Suggestion: Arrive before 17:30. š„ Ordering Strategy Family Style dining tested and approved: 3 Small Plates + 1 Larger Plate + Dessert = Stuffed to the brim. (Complaining about the wait againā¦ Ended up gnawing on a McDonaldās fish fillet sandwich out of hunger.) Red List šÆ: ā Apple Salad with Smoky Egg: The egg is as creamy as cheese, paired with refreshing Parsley. ā Anchovies & Sourdough: A must-try for anchovy lovers, and the homemade sourdough is fantastic. ā Wahl Grazing Lamb: Juicy lamb, crispy belly, and sweet potatoes. The plate is cleaned. ā Pita Bread: Handmade bread with a wheat aroma, perfect for dipping or pairing with meat. A bit much, considering the carbs in other dishes, but it feels incomplete without Pita in a Greek meal. So-So List: Sausage & Cheese: The sausage is a bit salty, but the side dishes are stunning | A unique combination of persimmon and cheese. Pistachio Mousse: Too sweet!!! For sugar lovers only | The pistachio mousse is so sweet itās dizzying, but itās all gone, creativity at its best. Quick Notes: The open kitchen with a massive grill is super cool. A local favorite that feels like a neighborhood canteen. Feeling like Seattleās restaurant scene might just be saved after this meal. (Despite the wait, itās worth it and already on the list for a second visit!) #SeattleFoodRadar #HomerFoodGuide #AtmosphericRestaurant #InfluencerSpotRealReview #SeattleDateSpot #OpenKitchenRestaurant #TrendySpotChecklist #FoodieRadar
