Description

Palace Kitchen is a Pacific Northwest [1] restaurant serving "rustic" [2] cuisine in Seattle's Belltown/Denny Triangle neighborhoods. [3] [4] The business has advertised itself as a "tavern with good food". [5] The interior features a U-shaped bar and dim lighting. [6] The menu has included burgers, [7] chicken wings, [8] and goat cheese lavender fondue. [9] [10]

History

Owned by Tom Douglas, [11] [12] Palace Kitchen opened in 1996. It is his third restaurant. [13] Harry Cheadle of Eater Seattle wrote, "In its heyday, the old-school establishment ... was a centerpiece of Belltown and a late-night industry hangout spot where cooks and bartenders would come after their shifts." [3]

In 2016, Douglas replaced tipping with a 20 percent service charge at Palace Kitchen and two other restaurants. [14] [15] [16] The restaurant closed in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, [17] and reopened three years later in April 2023. [3] [18]
