Washington’s Newest Restaurant, Autumn, Is Delicious In Any Season

We may be in the middle of summer, but Washington's newest restaurant, Autumn, will make you excited for comfort food season. Despite its name, this is definitely an all-season eatery, and we have a good feeling about it. Any restaurant that has a designated pasta specialist is destined for success.

Autumn opened in early July at 6727 Greenwood Avenue N. in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood.

The restaurant is located in the beautiful Phinney Flats apartment building. What lucky tenants those are!

Autumn is owned by pasta pro Brian Clevenger, who also owns five other highly rated restaurants in the area.

Chef Nick Chiaro, who was a sous chef at the iconic Canlis, will run the kitchen. Between Clevenger's pasta specialist credentials and Chiaro's culinary talents, this place is destined for greatness.

The food, when prepared, is almost too pretty to eat -- almost.

While the menu is fairly small, it has all of the most delicious food groups: raw food, vegetables, pasta, and proteins.

Here, the focus is on fresh, seasonal, and mostly local ingredients.

The locavore trend is hardly a new one, but it makes a world of difference in the way the food tastes.

Of course, the pasta dishes will steal the show here -- but the meaty entrees like Duck Breast and SRF Wagyu Flat Iron are equally as delightful.

We suggest bringing a friend or two and ordering several entrees to share. Or, better yet, come check out the new tasting menu, launching August 1.

Autumn has a light, airy dining room, or you can opt to dine on the brand new patio.

But wherever you end up enjoying your meal, we highly recommend ending (or starting!) with dessert.

If you love pasta, don't miss your chance to dine at Autumn. Reservations are available here.
