Hi Life

Oh My God. A Blessing on this Earth. THE Hi-Life at its finest with their french toast. Firehouse doors, Firehouse vibe, Fire French Toast, I'm going back soon to try more. I think they have a different one on their seasonal menu different from the one shown here. Then theirs the one with eggs and bacon. I'm on the move for those next. Parking is a drag if you park like me and not pay and then get a ticket when you thought 30 min no attendant would show in time haha dangit. Pay for parking if you go here. I've been to this place years ago and this was the first time back. French toast might've been different, more tough to put down before, which, I like a challenge. French toast of today, it's really good, I could eat another plate though or like half. It's on the threshold of filling. Damn good though. Cant find the batard bread anywhere. Exclusive French Toast. Haha Fun Articulate Atmosphere.

Phenomenal service in this new American eatery in what used to be the Ballard firehouse. From the old fire pole hanging from the ceiling, to the small brass fire fighter figures, and cavernous dining area, you are reminded of this restaurant's past. The drinks at the bar are top notch, and the good is equally delicious. A brick oven glows near the kitchen for pizza, and the menu takes on a seasonal approach. On Sundays they do a family style fried chicken dinner, but go early because they only have a limited amount and sell out fairly quick.

Great food, fun environment, and super friendly staff. I particularly liked the croque madame. We went for brunch and had a large group that could only fit at one table in the restaurant. We waited for over an hour for the party sitting there before us to finish. They had been done eating and were just talking for over 30 minutes, and the host felt so bad he brought us a bowl of fruit and a scone for free. That kind of service and thoughtfulness is hard to find!

I was in town from Canada visiting my cousin. She picked this spot to meet, I believe it was a Tuesday night. It's the best night to go because they have all day happy hour. Lots of bites for $5, I think the drinks were a great price too. The atmosphere was super chill, the bartender was very pleasant. The food tasted really good! We got the burger and the mac n cheese. For dessert we had the bread pudding. No regrets.
