Ballard’s Sawyer Delights With Playful, Refined Dishes A veteran of Lark finds his own voice in the best new restaurant in Ballard
Playful food. Fancy food. Take Sawyer at face value and it’s still worth an immediate drive to Ballard. But there’s more to this place, a certain synergy between distinct halves of Mayers’s mind that transforms his plates into something more ingenious.
One of the best new restaurants in Seattle. With finely crafted food that mixes tradition with contemporary American tongue-in-cheekiness, chef Mitch Mayers is causing a different sort of buzz at this one-time sawmill, now a spacious, relaxed, wood-paneled dining room and bar.
With a breezy vibe and playful menu, Sawyer is a fun newcomer to Ballard. The new Ballard restaurant from Mitch Mayers, who’s spent the past four years at Lark as chef de cuisine under James Beard Award-winning chef John Sundstrom, has a fun, youthful energy, with cooking chops to boot.
Sawyer is one of Seattle best new restaurants of 2018. There were so many reasons to anticipate this newcomer just off Ballard Ave: The cool space, the pedigreed chef, his emphasis on hospitality. Mitch Mayer’s timbered, booth-filled dining room delivers, and then some.
We’re open seven days a week:
Sunday through Thursday – 4 pm to 9 pm*
Friday and Saturday – 4 pm to 10pm*
Sunday brunch – 10am-2pm
*Bao hour – 4 to 5pm daily
