"Seattle Met Best Restaurants of Washington state. Ben Herreid sold his mushroom ravioli at farmers markets a decade before he ever opened a restaurant in downtown Leavenworth. It immediately became a menu staple he can’t remove without complaints. But now with the luxury of a dining room in a tourist town, he can switch up the filling for the latest foraged fungi from the surrounding mountains. He’s hardly hemmed in, though; with at least a half dozen other pastas on offer at a time, he still gets to venture into campanelle made with a bronze die press or macaroni done Cajun style, heaped onto plates in a volume that leaves tourists wondering what they’re going to do with leftovers. Forgoing the German fare around them—“You can only eat so much bratwurst,” he reasons—Herreid and partner lean into a mountaineering theme, complete with a mountain goat head mounted above the bar."
