| - After 2 wonderful experiences at The Greene House I feel comfortable giving this restaurant 5 stars. Definitely my favorite restaurant at Kierland Commons.
This isn't one of those restaurants like Cheesecake Factory with everything and nothing on the menu, it is a smaller (35 items maybe?) menu but you will have no trouble finding something that sounds (and will later prove) to be divine. As far as appetizers, I've had the hummus, brie, smoked salmon bruschetta, spinach artichoke fondue. Couldn't pick a favorite, they were all delicious and highly recommended. As far as entrees I've tried the Kobe Burgers, Mahi Tacos and Atlantic Salmon. I have not gone wrong with anything I've ordered. It just kind of depends on your mood.
I don't know why, but I guess I saved the best food for last. This place could get 5 stars just for its White Truffle Parmesan and Truffle fries. Yeah, it's all it's cracked up to be--Ends wars and saves marriages good.
Service has pretty consistently been good. The first time our group of 4 went on a Sunday evening it was packed and without reservations we ended up at the bar. The host staff and bartenders were very accommodating and friendly even as we moved chairs to fit the four of us together. Our table was ready before could finished appetizers and we were having such a great time we didn't notice the wait. Also, I've sat inside and outside. They have heaters on the patio so I was never cold and if you are the type of person that finds some restaurants noisy you may want to opt for outside. They have a semi-open kitchen and it isn't a huge place, so inside can seem loud. Also, another thing I love about The Greene House is that although you do run into some of the See and Be Seen crowd, most of the people are pretty casual. Nice casual but not dressed to impressed. The crowd to me seems more like groups of friends getting together to catch up, rather than a pretentious vibe.
Did I forget to mention half price bottles of wine all day Sunday? Silly me. :)
