'Brass Steak & Seafood' opens in Woodinville

Wine lovers rejoice! There is a new fine dining experience in Woodinville and it's called Brass Steak and Seafood. It is a modern steakhouse with a selection of Washington-focused cuisine and I am so excited to have these guys here right now. We have the co-owners of Brass Steak and Seafood, General Manager Chris Sines and Executive Chef Kyle Quinn. These guys I call it a good time, guys, because we had so much fun at that big opening you guys had, so I'm so glad you were able to be here today. Thank you so much for having us. Oh, this is so, so great. Okay, so talk to me about why you decided to take on this beautiful and amazing challenge of opening a restaurant. Yeah, a little bit of psychosis there. We're a little crazy for food and wonderful hospitality. We found a community in Woodinville that cared about great experiences. great wine and we found that they could use a great steak and seafood restaurant. And you have created that. Not only is this space absolutely stunning but Chef, the food. My goodness. It's delicious. And also you like crack open an oyster like no one I've ever seen, which I think is such an amazing talent. Thank you. Talk to me about what gets you excited about the menu. Yeah. So we just wanted to take the traditional ideas of a steakhouse and have a bit more fun with it. Kind of modernize the dishes. So when you look through the menu, you'll see a lot of recognizable dishes. Everything's just got a little tweak to them. Oh my goodness. And I have to say. You guys, I think this is such a Pacific Northwest thing, are perfectly walking the line between class and so much fun. Okay, everybody, because I want to talk about some. Special ways that we fancy up things, okay? If you want a little extra, if you want a little more, you have the F-Yeah portion of your menu. What's in that? We do. The F-Yeah section is a way for us to show that while we take food, hospitality, drinks very seriously, we don't take ourselves that seriously. So anyone that wants to indulge a little bit more, you can find an F-Yeah section in all of our menus from food and drink. I know. We got our friends over here giggling because it is so fun to say you actually are able to order it that way. One of those items is this beautiful drink right here, the Effia Martini. Yeah, it's the one. What is in this? It looks so good. We take Belvedere 10 organic vodka, infuse that with Oscietra gold caviar, let that sit and macerate, add a little bit of Blanc Vermouth. Serve it up and serve it with a little bump of caviar. A little bump of caviar. I absolutely love that. And, you know, before I bring my friends in, let's talk about some of the food we have here on the table. I had the fantastic opportunity of trying the many delicious steaks at the opening. So absolutely stunning. But you guys serve many other things as well. Talk to me about what's on the table. So we brought a couple of our small plates today. We brought our caviar. This one's the beluga caviar. We serve this with... Fresh potato chips, cured egg yolks and chives and creme fraiche. Wonderful. We also brought our pork belly dish. It's a confit pork belly with a smoked sweet potato, Robuchon, some herb quinoa with an apple cider gastrique. Oh, that is amazing stuff. And because it's set out like a party, I mean, I know you guys want people to feel like they're having a great time. I'm going to bring in the rest of the party. Let's have our friends here. We have Brian, and we happen to have Rick Riz in the house. Yeah. Some of the food guys. All right. What do you want to try? You want a little, a little shrimpy? What do you think, guys? How are you? I'd like the scampi. Oh, yeah. Have a try here, guys. And talk to me about how people can find you before we let you go. Yes, easiest way to make reservations is BrassHospitality.com. We are located in Woodinville on the Harvest property right next to the Somme Hotel. Oh, gosh. And it is a beautiful space. You're able to look at a beautiful view outside as well, guys. Cheers to you. This is absolutely fantastic. All right, guys, let's give it a try. Brian, I cut you a little piece right there. Oh, you did? That's for me? Uh-huh. Wow. Can I use my hands? Is that okay? No judgment. Thank you, Regiment. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Oh, my. Stunning, right? Holy smokes, this is outstanding. This is astounding, right? Thank you, guys. Oh, my. This is so, so good. I would say this is a beautiful place to go on a... Beautiful little date night, or if you want to have a special Saturdays with the guys or whatever the saying is. That sounds great to me. That's right, or a ladies' night I think is going to be a fantastic time. Gentlemen, thank you so much. You guys did a great job today. Thank you for having us. I really appreciate you.
