    Six people for brunch, six dishes, and all were delicious. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and the chicken and waffles. They were a big hit with the whole table.

    Really cool little bar in Ballard. The bartender makes a bad-ass Old Fashioned.

    The waitress recommended me the best drink ever: it's grapefruit cider with vodka and elderflower liquor. Get it! Delicious summer in a glass!

    Mac and cheese. Awesome. The drinks are great as well - bartenders are really nice there too.

    Sexton's a taste of the South up here in the Pacific Northwest. To that end, you'd be wise to taste the Sage & Cider Braised Ribs w/ bourbon, ginger & BBQ. Read more

    A lot of places serve what's basically a bourbon mojito and call it a mint julep, but the Sexton julep is the real deal.

    Try the "Bourbon Distiller's Tour: Three bourbons from a single distillery or four from a variety of distillers.

    The 38 Special and the Diabla are tasty adult beverages!

    Fancy looking place. They do have a website. On website, it proclaims that have, "tables of our own making". Does that mean they constructed them themselves? Read more

    A place as obsessed with Mason jars as I am! Great hush puppies and fried brussels sprouts.

    The food is okay the drinks are great, especially the bartenders choice, but stay away from the smoked mixed fruit cobler

    Sexton julep is where it's at. Berries added in adds good acidity.
