Sawyer is a casual yet chic new American restaurant and bar located in the heart of Ballard’s burgeoning restaurant scene on 22nd just off Ballard Ave. Featuring floor to ceiling windows, exposed beams and cozy booths, the renovated 1920s sawmill includes a main dining room, full bar and all-seasons patio.

Designed for family style sharing, our menu is made up of large and small plates with the level of creativity and quality you would expect from a fine dining establishment, but with the approachability and comfort of a neighborhood staple.
