We’ve given shout-outs to a lot of Washington State restaurants, from our new and nationally acclaimed gems to our tried-and-true eateries. And since we’re welcoming a brand new year, we’ve put together a list of dining establishments old and new that you should really try in 2019, should the opportunity arise. Some of these spots are for special occasions, some deliver casual comfort food — but they’re all fantastic.

At this charming little Browne's Addition eatery, the pasta is made in-house, the fish and produce are mostly local and always sustainable, the desserts are amazing, and even the brunch menu is stellar. Go early or make a reservation if you want to be seated quickly -- this place is popular for a reason.
Between the sweeping views of the Puget Sound and the Northwest-sourced ingredients used in the creative cuisine, it's no wonder this new restaurant is already a local favorite.The menu rotates seasonally and always includes plenty of seafood, steaks, and pasta.
Dillingers definitely nails the speakeasy vibe, with plenty of dark and romantic nooks and crannies. The dinner menu is fairly small, but everything on it (ribeye or risotto, anyone?) is delicious.

If you've ever lived near Gig Harbor, you've probably spent some time at this iconic spot. Tides Tavern has been a favorite for locals over the age of 21 for decades, and the food is still as tasty as ever. If it's been awhile since you've been, make 2019 the year you revisit.
E.Z. Tiger opened in Yakima last year, and its authentic dim sum instantly won over everyone who tried it. The eatery is dedicated to celebrating the flavors of the Pacific Rim, and it's safe to say they're killin' it.
