My parents and I went to Quinn's for an anniversary celebration, the draw being the Belgian beer and higher-end pub food. We started with a cheese plate (good), olives (also good...

Comfort Food Reigns Supreme 1/26/2010

Comfort reigns supreme at this always-packed neighborhood gastropub ? from the creative pub food to the casual vibe. The clientele runs the gamut from hardcore beer geeks to a well-heeled cocktail-sipping crowd. Sit at a table near the floor to ceiling windows and watch the colorful cast of characters that frequent Pike Street. Or belly up to the bar with fellow imbibers over more than a dozen beers on tap, plus several by the bottle, lambic and sour, and trappist ale selections. Many wines are also available in a half bottle format. Although the meat-heavy menu is divided into small and large plates, a few small plates will easily suffice for a meal. Don?t miss the Painted Hills beef tartare, wild boar sloppy joe and the potato gnocchi with rabbit ragout. Quinn?s is open until 1 a.m. every night (2 a.m. on weekends) and within walking distance of some of the city?s best live music venues. Pros: Good value, meat-centric menu, cozy vibe Cons: Sometimes less-than-stellar service more

Fun atmosphere, good, different food 7/15/2009

I like Quinns. All the exposed rafters, hardwood and dark colors makes for a really cool scene. Great beers on draft, good whiskey selection, decent wine list. Wild Boar sliders are tangy, sweet, and just the right amount of fatty, served with fried sage leaves and a roasted jalapeno. And the pork belly cobb is one of my favorite salads in the city. Crispy/chewy/tender pork belly with a big pile of mache and cucumbers on top and a soft boiled egg in a tangy dressing that counters the fatty belly perfectly. Time to get on my soapbox for a minute: I don't understand why all the protesters decided to target Quinn's. Maybe because it's so visible and ""in"" at the moment? Either way I can't stand it. Protesting Foie Gras, which IS (generally) humanely produced by small, family owned businesses. They are doing a disservice by passing out their propaganda and flooding review sites like Citysearch with useless reviews (just look below). Anyway, great food, beers, good staff and atmosphere. Try Quinn's out. If you don't support foie gras, don't order it. If its not selling, they will take it off the menu. Looks to be selling. I like it half off on Mondays (I think). Pros: great drink/beer lists, Pork Belly Cobb... Cons: Big crowds. more

Crappy Service 7/8/2009

First off, been to Quinns several times, service has been going downhill as popularity rises. Walked in tonight to meet some friends. Host's podium was deserted, and no other customers were waiting. As I was waiting to someone to notice me standing there, 3 other parties lined up behind me. The host ( blond 20 something girl) wandered back, and asked how many in my party. I said three, but I wanted to order food right away. The host said that it would be about 5 minutes to clear a table if I wanted to wait. I said ""sure"" and stood aside for her to help the other customers. She sat all three parties immediatly (around 8 people total) the came back to me and said "" I just sat alot of tables, so it's going to be about 15-20 minutes"" I left and wentto one of the other numerous restaurants in the area . La Spiga has great servie BTW. more

Delicious. 5/19/2009

Ate here the other day, the bone marrow was fabulous. And for all you foie gras haters, stay away, I shall eat your portion as well. Cry a river about that, all animal slaughter is cruel, look at all the videos. Become a vegan or shut the hell up. Pros: Yummy! Cons: No real cons. more

Lame. 4/27/2009

I would just like to say, I went in with an open mind. But the experience was lame. Only thing cool was the location. Some of the menu items sounded interesting, but when our food came it was nasty. At least I could stare out the window the whole time, while my boyfriend slurped down his--in his words--""salty duck liver."" Gross, thanks for the mental image. Pros: Nice big windows. Cons: Food served up like a diner, folks. more

close-minded alert!! 4/24/2009

At first I was enjoying my meal then the foie gras protesters came. It wasn't the protesters that ruined my dinner, but the managers of Quinn's. It really upset me that they wouldn't even speak to the protesters, whom I later found out had good reason to be there. If you ask me, if the owners of Quinn's won't even consider taking one pesky (and extremely cruel) item off their menu, well they're selfish. I don't like eating around selfish people, you won't see me at Quinn's until foie gras is off their menu. Pros: good location Cons: ignorance more

NOT a date place. 4/24/2009

Take your date someplace else, guys. Don't ruin your chances by trying to impress your girl with Quinn's. What a mistake. And FOR GOD SAKES don't make her eat that force-fed foie gras junk. She was NOT impressed. Damn. Pros: It coulda been worse. Cons: She's gonna hold this one against me for a while. more

Serves Cruelty 4/16/2009

Please ask Quinn's to STOP selling foie gras, a cruel product. People that eat this product are either completely ignorant or totally lame. Please....don't be lame. Whether or not you believe an animal is suffering for this product, one thing is for sure: An animal died for it unnecessarily for pleasure and profit. Also, please consider veganism in regards to your food and your clothing. Non-violence is extremely cool and good for you, the environment and animals! Pros: Not torturing and serving me up on a plate Cons: Serves foie gras, a cruel disgusting product more

Foie Gras -- Yuk 4/13/2009

Quinn's needs to stop selling foie gras. In offering this product, they are directly supporting extreme animal suffering. I have seen the videos and have read all the information. The ducks that are used to create this product undergo immense suffering. They are kept in incredibly cramped and filthy conditions and are force fed until their livers expand to several times their normal size. Many choke to death or freeze to death before they can even be slaughtered. Others literally burst open from the force feeding. There is simply no way to make foie gras humanely and there is no excuse for this kind of animal cruelty. Please ask the chef to take foie gras off the menu and do not patronize Quinn's until they do. more

great addition to the seattle scene 1/15/2009

Very cool place, service was excellent. The server was informative, and the ambiance was very cozy. Food was delicious, only suggestion would be is when ordering the foie gras mousse, be sure to ask for extra brioche, its seriously that good! Will be returning very soon! Pros: great food, environment, service Cons: parking more

Two for two 12/6/2008

Frog legs for dinner tonight. They were great. So was the cheese, and the chicken in a preparation I can't remember how to spell. If they're not refined diners, when you see the menu you may think you've gone too far out on a limb bringing friends here - but this place delivers! The food is so good, the service is fitting, and together with the ambiance, it's a very great, unique place. Next time I will bring out of towners here, because it's a place like this that I want to show off as the best of seattle. Pros: Food, Service, Style Cons: None. Parking is not a legitimate drawback. more

Tastes Like Butta . . . 10/3/2008

This is place is RIDICULOUS! The food screams ""OMG"" and has you begging for more! A group of us ordered practically everything on the menu so we got a chance to taste many items. The food here is rich and comforting so you don't need to eat a lot to feel satisfied. This is the first time I've tried bone marrow and it's like eating sticks of butter. The gnocchi? Tastes like little nuggets of butter. The oxtail? Like butta! Everything just melts in your mouth and explodes with flavor. How can you make fries even better? By adding buttery fontina and demi-glace on top. The kobe meatballs were bananas!! The meatballs were swimming in a creamy tomato-polenta-buttery goodness. Great drinks and service too and I can't wait to come back! more

It's all good 8/22/2008

Even though I'm not a fan of that expression, for me, Quinn's last night was good, start to finish, all of it. I, too, am a devout fan of Zoe so was predisposed to love this place. I don't eat beef, rabbit, lamb, wild boar...so the menu's limited for non-meat eaters. They don't bring bread to the table, either, so vegetarians beware...you might have to have a mostly liquid dinner in order to keep up with your dining companions. Fortunately the booze offerings are excellent. I had some sort of Finlandia cocktail that was pink and refreshing, followed by a sausage plate, and topped off with a S'more to die for. Although it wasn't my typical dining fare - much heavier than I usually eat - I didn't feel bloated or overstuffed or anything but happy and content. The service is sweet and charming and just attentive enough, and the interior's light and beautiful. One caveat - it's not the place to have a ""heavy deep and real"" convo because it's loud. But it's a pub! Hey Quinn's, thanks for bringing such a nice vibe to the Hill. Pros: Great food, great service, beautiful interior Cons: Noisy, hard to find parking more

bone marrow, gnocchi, and pork belly 7/30/2008

My boyfriend and I went to Quinn's on a whim last night. I had been there before with girlfriends and enjoyed their burger and washed it down with a beer. That time, I would rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. It was a good atmosphere and good food. But after yesterday's meal I have decided that it is one of my favorite new restaurants! We started with two small plates: the bone marrow and the gnocchi. I've never tried bone marrow before and was intrigued as to what it tasted like. Words cannot describe the flavor! The consistency is a little goopy (might be a problem for some textural eaters) but the taste more than makes up for the texture. Bone marrow has lived up to the hype! The gnocchi was deeeelicious. The sauce was creamy without being too overly rich. For entrees we ordered (and shared) the kobe chuck and the pork belly. The kobe chuck was really tasty and classic. Exactly what I expected it to be. The pork belly however was a fatty dream come true. I took my fork and knife and was shocked (and pleased) to see what little resistance the pork belly gave me. The meat literally felt as though it was falling apart. The square of pork belly came on a bed of something delicious but I was much too busy shoveling food into my mouth to take notice of what exactly it consisted of. I think there was corn in it. Pros: food! Cons: crowded, grab a drink and expect to wait more

Unique Pub 7/20/2008

I was visiting seattle and my friend took me there. I hear its new. We sat upstairs, it feels kinda dark and dingy, but still pretty good atmosphere. We sat by a window and roasted, unfortunately. It was so hot! (i hear thats pretty unusual in Seattle, so I shouldn't complain). We ordered some of the favorites, the marrow, the fries, the beef tongue. Theres a GREAT beer list, really cool and unique beers in really cool and unique glasses, but the food was okay. The beef tongue had the flavor of the grill, but not much else. The fries were great! But overall, the food didn't knock my socks off , Next time I am in town, i would go back for another beer and try one of the homemade pretzels that i was checking out at the table next to me. Pros: unique place, amazing beer selection Cons: a bit dingy, but still kinda cool more

Amazing. Simply AMAZING 7/16/2008

I love this place. The oxtails and gnocchi, fois gras, pate, marrow bones, everything. It's very rich, so be careful with ordering too much at once, but I can assure you that this place is worth its weight in gold. Delicious, great friendly staff. It can be really busy, but I can assure you it's worth the weight. The beer and whiskey selection is exceptional. Oh, and did I mention how nice the staff have been every time I was there? Pros: delicious exotic foods. Cons: not big enough more
