"We are committed to providing the neighborhoods of Northeast Seattle with a comfortable, familiar, neighborhood restaurant. Our customers will enjoy the hospitality and hand crafted meals of two chefs with many years of experience in a wide variety of Seattle restaurants. We delight in sharing our love of food and our investment in this community.

"We chose the Sand Point Grill because of its neighborhood connection, its great customers and its comfortable feel. We intend to honor its many regular customers and look forward to getting to know them and this restaurant they've called home for the last 11 years.
