This space has lived many lives.💛

First, a storage garage.

Then, a dream and thoughtful design turned the space into our private dining room.

And then, the pandemic.

During a time when everything felt uncertain, we found ourselves looking at our space differently, once more.

What could we create? How could we stay connected to our community?

Red Arrow was born from that moment.❤️

Read the full story + see the transformation on our blog, below.

Not fully knowing what it would become, I began transforming this storage garage into a private dining space. It wasn’t a perfectly mapped-out plan; it was more of a feeling that there was something back there worth building toward. What’s taken shape since then has been far beyond anything I co...

We’re excited to welcome our new Head Chef, Chris Sasan, whose cooking is shaped by a childhood in Hawai‘i — a true melting pot of cultures and flavors. Drawing inspiration from Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Japanese, and Puerto Rican traditions, he brings a vibrant, personal point-of-view to the kitchen, reimagined through a Pacific Northwest lens.

Expect seasonal, local ingredients, dishes that feel approachable but thoughtfully polished, and a few new menu ideas we can’t wait to share — from chicory salad to steak tartare to Filipino-inspired pork and beans.

Come see what's new!

Thank you to The Seattle Times & Jackie Varriano for the feature. We hope to see you this Sunday.🍝

"I have spent many a Sunday simmering tomato sauce all day for a spaghetti and meatball feast. If you don’t have the time, Ballard’s Brimmer & Heeltap has you covered.

Sundays at the restaurant have been rebranded as Spaghetti Sunday, with two bowls of housemade spaghetti and meatballs plus a bottle of red or white wine for $50.

A friend and I added on a bibb salad ($18), studded with marcona almonds, fennel and tarragon, and left sated and giggly after a few hours basking in the warmth of one of Seattle’s snuggest dining rooms."

These date ideas go far beyond Valentine's Day. For a meal shared with a friend, partner or loved one, our food writer suggests four local meal deals for two.
