The Blue Glass

Arranged around a single room open to the street, the space pulls food and drinks from local artisans across Ballard, Fremont, and Phinney Ridge. The kitchen balances casual staples with richer evening plates, serving dishes like ahi sandwiches and roasted cauliflower alongside trout, pappardelle puttanesca, and squash risotto that can be made vegan on request. Portions lean generous, service remains attentive, and the setting fits dates, casual happy hours, or full dinners capped with crème brûlée or rice pudding.
