What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend The Shambles, a northeast Seattle steakhouse that commenters place in Roosevelt, Ravenna or Lake City, and many praise its steaks, with a few calling its steak a standout or among the best they have had. Many describe it as casual rather than fancy, and a few see it as budget-friendly, with one suggesting it if the steak order stays modest. Caveats: one says it doesn't suit a celebratory night, one notes it is 21 and over so may not suit bringing a child, and one notes only a limited number of cuts is offered each night.
