Located in a charming wine country inn in the wee town of Ballard, The Gathering Table is a foodie destination. Locals and in-the-know travelers come for the creative French- and Asian-inspired shared plates by award-winning chef-owner Budi Kazali, along with the warm dining room that strikes a balance between sophistication and comfort. The focus is on locally sourced produce, seafood, and meats. You might find hamachi with avocado and soy-yuzu vinaigrette, pork belly with tangy Napa cabbage fondue, or lamb lollipops with parsnip puree.
