Description

Spring Hill is no longer--it's been renamed Ma‘ono Fried Chicken & Whisky and has traded its linens and braised short ribs for paper napkins, kimchi, and expanded bar seating. In addition to the items already familiar to fans of Spring Hill's wildly popular Fried Chicken Mondays, the new standard menu includes poke, short ribs, barbecue pork buns, whipped pan drippings, and mochi cake for dessert.

OK, I thought the year before was a great period for new restaurants in Seattle, but this past 12 months has been spectacular. Trying to pick the "best," which do you choose: Quinn's Pub's urban-rustic meat love The small plates and fresh pastas at cigar-box How to Cook a Wolf Tiny, artery-red Bistro Turkuaz, with its Turkish meze and juicy kebabs Joule's wild cultural spins, wrought in tiny plates and elegant pickles The farm-to-table chic of Corson Building or Trellis I'm going with...

Holy crap! I nearly oui oui'd my Spanx LMFAO after spotting this sign near an apartment building in Belltown. Yeah, like Parisians let their doggies dump wherever and just stroll on in their designer ... More »
Reviewing the Review: Exploring the Dark Side at Ma'Ono

At Ma'Ono Fried Chicken & Whisky, the subject of this week's review, the fried chicken is fantastic. But -- and this is no fault of chef Fuller and his capable crew -- the dark meat's better than the ... More »
Frying Spring Hill at Ma'ono

By Hanna Raskin | Wed, April 11, 2012

True-crime stories and musical comedies were more entertaining when people could plausibly slough off their identities, drifting to another town to become a deposed crown prince after a life spent as a milkman. But social media have largely put a ... More »

OK, I thought the year before was a great period for new restaurants in Seattle, but this past 12 months has been spectacular. Trying to pick the "best," which do you choose: Quinn's Pub's urban-rustic meat love? The small plates and fresh pastas at cigar-box How to Cook a Wolf? Tiny, artery-red Bistro Turkuaz, with its Turkish meze and juicy kebabs? Joule's wild cultural spins, wrought in tiny plates and elegant pickles? The farm-to-table chic of Corson Building or Trellis? I'm going with Spring Hill, the West Seattle bistro just opened by former Dahlia Lounge chef Mark Fuller and his wife, Marjorie Chang Fuller. That's because of all Seattle's new restaurants, it's doing the most to advance what's most distinctive and novel in our local cuisine. With dishes like a duck-egg raviolo topped with duck ham, a razor-clam crepinette with pickled oysters, and seared halibut topped with a smoked-clam bread salad, the Fullers are producing the kind of food that other chefs are going to be studying and reinventing for years to come. Spring Hill's not without its flubs, to be sure, and the stylish concrete-and-blond-wood room can shred conversations as effectively as a wood chipper, but I haven't seen food that so beautifully balances experimentation and plain ol' tastiness in a long time. Weeks after my most recent meal there, I'm still thinking about the food, wondering about the dishes I didn't try, and telling everyone I know, in no uncertain terms, that the restaurant belongs on their must-try list.�Jonathan Kauffman
