What: Monthly Sunday Supper
Where: Ventana, 2323 First Ave, Belltown
Why you should go: Food tastes better over conversation, so the Ventana folks serve family-style. Executive chef Joseph Conrad kicks off the convo by personally introducing the three-course spreads inspired by a rotating regional cuisine. Past menus have hailed from northern Italy—that one meant entrees of stuffed goose, a buckwheat noodle bake, and polenta curiga, with flatbread pizza to start and Nutella panna cotta or almond rosewater biscotti to finish—as well as Cuba, Greece, and Thailand.
Cost: $25/person for three courses; $15/person to add wine pairing
Reservations: Highly recommended; call 206-441-4789

The fried chicken at Ballard’s Hi-Life.
What: Family-style Sunday supper

Cost: $13.75/adult; kids are half that price. Adult drinks are extra.

The theme rotates each month at these three-course dinners.

The Tin Table on Capitol Hill hosts a chef’s dinner every first Thursday of the month.
What: First Thursday Chef’s Dinner
Where: The Tin Table, 915 East Pine Street
When: 5-9pm
Why you should go: Because galleries aren’t the only ones turning it up on First Thursday. Consider chef Travis Chase’s assemblage for this week’s three-course feast, inspired by Argentine cuisine: lobster porcini empanadas with chilled avocado honey soup and candied cilantro; spicy grilled octopus with sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and black beans; and skirt steak (braised, grilled, and smoked—impressive) with celery root fennel puree and chimichurri.
Cost: $40 per person; wine pairing and other drinks cost extra
Reservations: Highly recommended, call 206-320-8458

Three courses costs $30 at this normally spendy Pike Place resto.

Pike Place restaurant Maximilien hosts a weekly Sunday Supper.
What: Three-course Sunday supper.
Where: Maximilien, 81A Pike St at First Ave
When: Sundays 5–9
Why you should go: Unlike some Sunday suppers, here you can choose your own entree from the regular (spendy) menu. Go ahead, order a more expensive dish (Yakima Valley beef tenderloin or Oregon rack of lamb, anyone?) and still get dessert. A gooey poached pear with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and almonds tops off the night. Choose between French onion soup or a green salad to start.
Cost: $30/person; drinks and foie gras are extra
Reservations: 206-682-7270, or online at maximilienrestaurant.com.
