Intimate spot serving craft cocktails & New American bites
"Joli could have been called Get In Here To Escape The Rain And Eat Unpretentious Things. Of course, that’s a terrible restaurant name, and, luckily, this is the opposite of a terrible restaurant. The Phinney Ridge space is really nice, with candles, big wooden booths, and paintings of snow-capped mountains on the walls. It’s a great spot for Happy Hour - order wine and mini chorizo corn dogs - or a full dinner. The menu has things ranging from smoked squash agnolotti to burgers with duck fat fries." - aimee rizzo
"Joli is one of those feel-good places that’s worth braving the rain for just to have a meal with someone you might never see again. Maybe getting cozy in a booth underneath a quaint painting of a mountain has something to do with it. There are small bar bites like fried olives, rillettes, and flatbreads if you’re looking to mix and match, but you also can’t go wrong with the burger or a $19 piece of fish that comes with a couple of carbs on the side." - aimee rizzo
"This Phinney Ridge bar and restaurant serves over 300 gins (the biggest gin list in the country, it claims), a long list of house cocktails, and a shockingly good menu of New American bites. The steak frites here with a couple of appetizers and cocktails always hits the spot for a date-night meal. For something on the more affordable side, stop in at happy hour for the fried chicken sandwich (on a Sea Wolf bun) or the burger, which comes with white cheddar and pork belly." - Eater Staff
"I recognize Amy Beaumier as the former chef and co-founder of Ballard restaurant Joli, which she helped start in 2017 and then left after about six months just as rave reviews were piling up." - Adam H. Callaghan
"She formerly led the kitchen at Joli in Ballard, but left after six months there." - Megan Hill
