Ravish
At Ravish, we believe in having good times. But not just the good times revolving around simple, thoughtfully sourced food and tasty cocktails.
We believe in the experience of connecting with people, and we want Ravish to be a place where we can share that experience with you. We are a small, unique restaurant and bar in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood. Whether it's a rainy Seattle evening or a sunny summer day, our bartenders will shake, stir, or pour just the right libation for you to enjoy.
Our little bar is jam-packed with a selection of excellent spirits for our inventive cocktails as well as plenty of delicious wines and beers. We love to highlight the bounty of the Pacific Northwest simply and thoughtfully. Our shared plates of creative comfort food are fresh, flavorful, and seasonal.

"Bright atmosphere with wonderful touches. Great food and fun to share. Love that style of eating when it is hard to decide what to pick. Wonderful neighborhood place to go but worthy of driving there too."

"My fiance and I love this place. The potato latkes, and mac n' cheese are a must. We tend to explore with our third dish and have yet to be disappointed. The constantly changing beer/cocktail selection provides for other fun exploration. Staff is great, and the bi-weekly trivia is tough but not too tough.
Will continue to come back again and again"

"This is a great neighborhood restaurant that could be a city wide draw, but doesn't really want to be. Instead, it has a relaxed atmostsphere and doesn't try to do too much. What it does do is very good. The cocktails are excellent, the menu is limited, but everything was very good. The kale ceaser was perfect - not over dressed. The mac and cheese was wonderful. The crab cakes and pigs in a blanket were good, but not great. The prices were reasonable and the staff was attentive."

"The food was fantastic! And the mac and cheese was phenomenal! Love the local food usage and the fast change of dishes as ingredients are used up. It keeps me reassured that they are buying local and what is in season."

"This is my favorite place in town to go for a delicious cocktail and really tasty food. This is one restaurant where I always order their specials and am impressed every time. The bartenders are also very good at their craft and make some amazing cocktails that I cannot find anywhere else in town. Go to this place!you will be glad you did."

"The food was tasty, but presentation could have benefitted from a little extra attention. (My dining companion did not enjoy the sweet potato latkes, and said that the steak skewers looked "scary" but he knew they would taste great.) The service was friendly, but spotty and water glasses were empty for much of the meal. No one came to check on how we were enjoying our food. The ambiance is cozy, cute, and the bar is beautiful. Ravish has lots of promise, but service could use an overhaul."

"The atmosphere is pleasant and a little eclectic. Most of the items we ordered were good especially the mini pigs in a blanket and the pumpkin polenta. The only bad thing was the chicken skewers which were a bit too thick, kind of dry and very bland.
The service was a bit off - we ordered two dishes at the same time and mine arrived and was finished before the other arrived and only after we asked for it a second time. It was obvious that other tables were getting much better service (especially those with younger, hipper clientele). Because of that I really can't bring myself to recommend it to anyone else. We might go back."

"We really liked Ravish! Especially great if you're not in a rush and just looking to spend time with someone. I wouldn't recommend for parties much larger than four, and thought it was actually quite perfect for just two. The service was nice, but not speedy by any means, so just get ready to relax. The food was very tasty - our favorite was the sweet potato latkes - seriously, we were thinking about them for days after. Some fun drink choices too! Nice atmosphere and I like to spend time in this neighborhood, so we'll be back!"

"Have never been before and unknowingly showed up on Trivia Night. So it seemed busier and quite a bit louder than what is probably normal. Food was great, and so was service. All our waiters were so gracious. Though we had to send back cold coffee twice. Otherwise it was a fun neighborhood locale to have a casual night out."

"Our service was terrible! After seating us and taking our original drink orders, the only other time our server asked if we needed anything was when he came to retrieve our bill. We had to ask him to stop so we could order appetizers, drink refills, and dessert. And every time we had to ask him, he got really exasperated with us as if he were doing us a huge favor by taking our order. I don't usually write reviews but the service was so terrible and there was no explanation for his behaviour. Had something been going on, we would have been understanding but he treated us like we were inconveniencing him. Very Disappointing."
