Communion Seattle

There's a certain kind of love that lives in a pot of greens.

Seasoned & slow-simmered until tender, smoky, and rich with flavor. Add smoked neck bones if you really want to get it going!

A staple rooted in memory. In family recipes. In kitchens where flavor was passed down without measurements, only by feeling.

Greens, Okra or Cabbage?

When in Seattle, drink as the weather suggests. ⁠
⁠
The Overcast is Seattle in a glass, moody, floral, and softly clouded.⁠
⁠
This is a twist on the Aviation. Built with Bayab African Gin, creme de violette, and lavender bitters, it drifts into a familiar gray haze like a skyline just before the rain settles in. ⁠
⁠
Sweet with soft violet notes, followed by herbaceous gin and a gentle citrus depth that feels like fog rolling off the water. Finally, she's garnished with an orange, like a slight peek of sun breaking through the clouds. ⁠

This one was made for watching the storm, not rushing through it ⛅⁠

Warm spice. Slow heat. A little earthiness, sweetness, and that deep smoky flavor that settles in every bite.

Our half chicken comes lathered in a vibrant berebere sauce, rich and aromatic, with skin kissed by char, and tender, juicy meat beneath. This spicy goodness is plated on top of lemony black lentils, catching every drop of flavor, while a bright green gremolata cuts through with fresh citrus and herbs for the perfect contrast.

Rooted in Ethiopian flavors, this dish sits beautifully between East African warmth and Southern grilling culture.

Complex, layered, and vibrant all in the right ways.

Some of the best comfort food starts with humble ingredients.

Cabbage has long been a staple in Southern kitchens, slow-cooked with care, stretched across tables, and made to feed whoever needed a plate. Ours takes that tradition somewhere new.

Butter-basted until tender, finished with miso butter, our house-made Sez’ seasoning, fried garlic, and nori strips. Rich and savory, a simple staple with a luxurious Asian twist. Each bite is layered with silky, buttery flavor.

Simple food. Treated with intention.

Not all family is blood. Some are chosen.

KINFOLK
- Old Bardstown Bourbon
- Smith & Cross Jamaican Rum
- COMMUNION Pecan Liqueur
- Cynar

Kinfolk is a bond. Low lights. Last round energy. The kinds of conversations you lose track of time in. The ones shared around the table with your Day Ones.

We pull up, we pour up 🤎

⁠

Our BBQ shrimp has never really been about the grill. ⁠
⁠
It's about the sauce. ⁠Garlic butter bubbling, bread getting passed around, and everybody trying to sneak one more bite before the plate is empty.⁠
⁠
BBQ shrimp has deep roots in New Orleans Creole cooking, with flavors made famous by Chef Paul Prudhomme. This is the kind of dish meant for messy hands, loud tables, and people fighting over the last piece of bread. ⁠
⁠
Chef Kristi cooks and serves the shrimp head-on, seasoned with our 13+ spice Sez blend, and finished with a coconut porter from Métier Brewing which makes the sauce rich, savory, and way too good to leave behind.⁠
⁠
And if there's sauce at the bottom of your plate, well, you already know what to do with it 😉🦐 ⁠

☎️ This is your wake-up call: it’s Sunday brunch, and it said show up hungry.

We’re talkin’ a sexy Lao sausage eggs benedict with hollandaise for days, a root vegetable hash that doesn’t miss a beet, espresso martinis that’ wake you up (respectfully), and a watermelon Aperol spritz that tastes like summer showed up early.

Don’t press snooze on this one ⏰ Why aren’t you here yet?
