Single Shot (restaurant)

Single Shot Kitchen and Saloon, or simply Single Shot, is a restaurant on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington. The restaurant opened in 2014, and has garnered a generally positive reception for its menu of American, New American, and Pacific Northwest cuisine.

Single Shot is a 1,200-square-foot restaurant and bar on Summit Avenue, on Seattle's Capitol Hill. In the guide book Moon Seattle, Allison Williams described the interior as a "glistening white space" with black furniture and "posh" globe lights. She also described an antique 12-foot-long replica of a rifle above the bar, which she called "a piece of whimsy in an otherwise sophisticated spot". The restaurant's name is reportedly a reference to this gun.

Angela Garbes of The Stranger said Single Shot "feels as upscale as it does casual" and "walks a fine line between sterile and warm". She said the "austere white-and-gray color scheme, slate tabletops, polished white subway tiles, and heavy marble bar top are balanced by vintage, Sputnik-style light fixtures that cast a golden light." She also described a large wooden gun (deemed a shotgun) above mirrored shelves holding liquor.

Single Shot has billed itself as a "kitchen and saloon", and has a vegetable-heavy menu. The seating capacity is approximately 40 people. Seattle Magazine has described the setting as "cozy 1920s meets modern minimalist chic". Candles are displayed at tables and throughout the restaurant, which KING-TV has described as "a cozy space with charming, yet elegant decor". The restaurant also has a wood-fired oven.

Single Shot's menu has been described as American, New American, and Pacific Northwest cuisine. Allecia Vermillion of Seattle Metropolitan wrote, "True to Seattle form, the menu is highly shareable and ranges from accessible ... to more daring takes on pub food, like a ragout of lobster mushrooms and veal sweetbreads."

In addition to a full cocktail and wine list, the menu has included salmon, risotto, a snap pea salad, a Tuscan kale flatbread, roasted cauliflower, and Romanesco with romesco sauce, toasted hazelnuts, and pickled kohlrabi. The black rice porridge has uni, mussels, and pork belly with sticky rice. Among pizzas is a duck confit variety. The Pizza Margherita has prosciutto, mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, basil, and crushed red pepper. The tarte flambeé has bacon and Comté cheese.

Single Shot has served chicken-liver mousse with berbere, cinnamon, cumin, Dijon mustard, and a Madeira-shallot reduction, as well as lamb chops, a strip steak, and a hanger steak with roasted baby turnips, sautéed wild mushrooms (caramelized chanterelles and black trumpets), ham mostarda, and Tête de Moine cheese. The menu has also included a baked pasta with curried goat and leeks reminiscent of macaroni and cheese, a pork chops over spaghetti squash, and a coleslaw with chives, citrus, and fennel. The spreadable pub cheese comes with brioche and an apple cider reduction.

The dessert menu has included a honey pot de crème. Cappuccinos and other espresso drinks are available for dinner and weekend brunch. Seattle Magazine has called the brunch menu a "sophisticated twist on familiar late morning fare"; options have included avocado toast, a bacon hash, and egg dishes. For Valentine's Day, Single Shot has hosted a four-course prix fixe menu including burrata, foie gras, lobster, and pork loin. The restaurant has been called vegetarian-friendly.
