“ The ambiance here is lovely, the NA drinks are great and the food is delicious. This isn't an area of Seattle I'm in often but I may try to make it out to that area more frequently to eat here. ”
“ Very cute little patio! It's heated and covered which is nice. The food was tasty and they had many vegetarian options. The service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely go back and their seasonal cocktails are worth another trip. ”
“ We were in the area and decided to try Bar Vacilando when we passed it. We got Cauliflower fritters & kolkata pepper sauce, Chaat chicken naan sandwich, and Grilled fish tacos. The cauliflower fritters were good. We enjoyed both the chaat chicken sandwich and the fish tacos. We got a chocolate torte for dessert and loved it. ”
“ Easily one of the best go-to spots in the neighborhood if you're looking for a place with casual but reliably solid food/cocktails . I personally enjoy their burgers, tuna melt, BE&C sandwiches. They offer a wide selection of cocktails (and mocktails) that can be enjoyed in their outdoor (but covered) patio. If you're looking for a chill place with a vibe, or need a place to grab food that's not too crowded, then look no further. Overall, the food is 4/5 but the ambiance and drinks bump it up to a 5/5. ”
“ Love the ambiance of this place!! And they have really good drinks that ranges from 14-18 dollars. Their drinks are really good and I especially enjoyed the lavender drink. If you don't like the strong taste of alcohol like me, they have great options for those I loved the flatbreads!! Definitely try this out!! Also the salad is great too!! I would skip on the fried chicken as it was dry since I think they use chicken breast and not has flavorful as other dishes they have. ”
“ My GF burger was Excellent!! Well cooked, organic, and enough! The gluten free bun was yummy! I just arrived in Seattle today and really appreciate the great service and kindness of the staff! Also, if you like cider, they've got one that's dry with just enough sweetness. It tastes like freshly made. I rarely eat meat, so I will have to try one of their other dishes next time! ”
“ Great fast service. Nice ambiance. Great happy hour spot. Lots of food options and great menu for diets of all different kind. Very inclusive menu ”
“ It's all around a good place on the 15th Ave row. Large open interior with one good-sized semi-private room in the back. They have a good mix of cocktails and beers, and you can order touchless drinks via QR code if you like. Service is always attentive and reasonably quick. I had the mushroom, Reuben. The mushrooms are lightly batter, fried, and nicely chewy. A good mix of dressing (which can be lacking on some Reubens) and sauerkraut. The marbled rye is good but the slices were a bit thick for my taste. All around a good time, especially for an evening bit. Give it a go. ”
“ Came to Vacilando after a fun workout with a friend around 3pm and was really excited to try a new place! It's a seat your self type of restaurant and you place your order through QR codes. So there's very little interaction with the actual staff besides them dropping off the food/drinks. There's an order seating area and it looked beautiful, but it was closed for a private event. We ordered the blistered shishito peppers, a cheeseburger, and the pastrami Reuben sandwich. The cheeseburger was yummy, the bread was very thick and all in all it was good burger. I tried a bite of the pastrami Reuben and it was a delicious sandwich! The item that stole the show for both of us was the blistered shishito peppers! We had never had anything like them before. Of the 30 or so we ate together, 3 were spicy! The rest were mild, but paired beautifully with the lemony sauce they came with. All in all Vacilando was a great place to stumble upon and I would recommend checking it out if you're in the Cap Hill area. ”
“ What a cute place - I would say "cute, little place", but this place is deceptively spacious! The interior is well decorated, and there is a heated, covered patio, making it a great place for group hangs or date night in warm or cold weather! The chaat chicken was SO GOOD. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was to die for! The Ruben was also good, but I definitely preferred the chaat chicken. We also ordered fries and onion rings which were as expected - the fries do have additional herbs on them, which I always like. There was a bottle of house red that was split amongst the table, and it was pretty good for a house wine - definitely fruit forward, so it's a sweeter red than one might expect. They have online ordering for the table, or a waiter can get your order if you prefer. The online version is nice though because it shows you photos of the items. You can rent out that patio and probably the whole restaurant for an event, so I'll definitely bookmark this for any birthdays or anniversaries in the future! ”
