Vine & Spoon is a New American spot from chef Nicholas Apt, who was named one of the Seattle Met's "Next Hot Chefs of 2017." The menu of farm-to-table fare includes dishes like beef tartare with a poached quail egg and a pork chop served with cornbread, roasted corn and blistered peppers. There's also beer, wine and a full cocktail menu. 

Yelp users are generally positive about Vine & Spoon, which currently holds four stars out of 30 reviews on the site.

Yelper Jenny M., who reviewed Vine & Spoon on June 6, wrote, "On both my visits, the food has been absolutely lovely. Favorites so far include the oysters, beef tartare and potatoes with truffle."

Cat N. noted, "Menu wasn't huge, but was super appealing to me. We ordered a variety of oysters that were shucked well and super tasty. Was surprised to see that any accompaniment other than lemon slices cost $2 each. Usually mignonettes, at the least, are free."

Vine & Spoon is open from 5 p.m.–10 p.m. daily.

For the indecisive, there are a few pre-selected pie combos, as well as salads and milkshakes to round out the menu.

Yelp users are generally positive about Mod, which currently holds four stars out of 16 reviews on the site.

Yelper Kieu N., who reviewed it on March 3, wrote, "The staff here is really nice. They greet you warmly as you enter and leave. Glad to have this chain in West Seattle. Quick, cheap, and good. Can't ask for more than that."

Yelper Mindy D. wrote, "Checked this place out for lunch over the weekend. So many options! We got a half-cheese, half-pepperoni pie and an order of their garlic bread. Keep in mind that they aren't huge pizzas, but my boyfriend and shared it and we were totally fine."

MOD Pizza is open Sunday-Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m., and Friday-Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-11 p.m.
