Editorial Review for Stumbling Goat Bistro – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Red walls, velvet curtains and '50s vintage lamps make this Phinney neighborhood haunt comfortable in a funky way. Owner Erin Fetridge welcomes guests warmly, and there's a wait only on weekend nights, when the gracious waitstaff is overextended.
The Food
Dishes highlight local, seasonal ingredients with simple, savory preparations and generous portions. A nicely dressed beet salad or savory curry mussels are meals in themselves, and roasted cauliflower with foraged mushrooms and a toasted walnut vinaigrette is a great primer for more to come. Local wild salmon comes delectably paired with Bluebird Grains faro, grilled corn and roasted cherry tomatoes and the duck breast served aside grilled eggplant is more than enough to share. Desserts are a delight, especially the large creme brulee with its crackling sugar lid.

Located on the main stretch of Phinney Ridge, The Stumbling Goat features some of the best comfort food in all of Seattle. I went with my wife and her 3 friends, and as "just one of the girls," our server enjoyed giving me a little good-natured ribbing, and didn't hesitate to be frank in his recommendations. Based on his raves, I ordered the lamb shank and it was absolutely the most delicous thing I've had in Seattle. Coming from the foodie capitol of the west (San Fran) to a good-but-not-great city like Seattle, I was very happy to find a place that reminded me of home in both a daring menu, competent and confident staff, and a dark and modern vibe throughout. I highly recommend this place as a date spot or a nice place to have conversation amongst good food and a pretty decent wine menu (although a little too pricey for drinks).
Pros: Ambience, Deliciously Prepared Meats, Home made Pastas
Cons: none

I can't say enough about the quality of the food served here. It's local, organic when available and delicious. They steer toward comfort food but make it feel like gourmet food. My friend and I laughed mid way through the meal when we realized we were oohhing and aahhhing over essentially beef stew, roast chicken and mahed potatoes. But it's great, great quality, well seasoned, well thought out food combinations. It's a casual atmosphere and the staff is quite friendly and helpful in their recommendations. I would highly recommend the Stumbling Goat
Pros: great local and organic food, very good service
Cons: sometimes hard to find parking
