Crush began as the dream of owners Nicole and Jason Wilson in 2003 when they set out to remodel and build an original 1903 Victorian house into a Modern American Restaurant that showcases the best in Jason's Cuisine and seasonal ingredients of the Northwest. Opening in 2005 CRUSH has quickly become a destination for an unparalleled dining experience in Seattle. Jason's approach and inspiration to food has been noted as Modern American, with personal influences and French technique. Using the best ingredients, focusing on quality first, the seasons & relationships with the best producers and growers dictating the ingredients has been the philosophy to our cuisine. Jason was chosen by Food and Wine magazine in 2006 as a "Best New Chef", nominated in 2008 for the Best Chef Northwest by the James Beard Foundation among many other accolades. A similar approach to our extensive wine list has given Crush multiple years of national accolades from wine press.

I have a crush on Crush

Pricey but worth it. Intimate, great service, and wonderful food. I think that this is the best restaurant to open in the last few years in Seattle. Creamy pate, perfectly seared scallops, and fabulous chocolates.

Phenomenally tasty 30 for 30 menu

I’d heard all kinds of great things about Crush before finally coming to try out their 30 for 30 menu. Now I understand why so many diners love this place.

The restaurant was packed for a Sunday evening, so we had a late evening seating. Service was prompt and polite, and we never had to ask for water refills.

There was a bit of a snafu getting our orders in, but the kitchen generously comped us a refreshing salad for the extra wait.

The food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered a meat-heavy course, but each dish was extremely flavorful and well presented. Bonus points for the complimentary sweets at the end of the meal.

Dishes I tried:

Fatty and succulent pork belly, mmmm…

The meat on the short ribs came apart effortlessly. The hand-rolled pasta was perfectly done and paired greatly with the cream sauce.

Cranberry Bread Pudding w/Sugar Cane Ice Cream

This dish is a sugar lover’s dream. The cane sugar ice cream was fantastic. The bread pudding itself was just adequate.
