Barking Frog Seattle

Barking Frog sits on NE 145th St in Woodinville. It is a twenty-minute walk from the grounds of Chateau Ste. Michelle, and the room runs smart and elegant. The restaurant holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award.

The kitchen leans into modern farm-to-table cooking, but the wine program is the actual draw here. While most venues in Woodinville focus on the casual tasting-room experience, this space demands a seated, evening-length commitment. It is a more deliberate choice than the nearby tasting bars, which treat the grape as a pit stop between vineyards rather than a partner to the plate. If you want to drink well without rushing to make your next reservation, this is the place to settle in.
