Lady Jaye

Lady Jaye is a West Seattle restaurant known for its Wagyu smash burgers, wood-smoked dishes and sandwiches such as the bologna sandwich, paired with cocktails. The kitchen presses American Wagyu patties hard onto a blazing flat-top for a deep, crispy crust, and the menu leans on bold flavors with a little grit. The bar keeps a spirit list and a cocktail menu.

Dinner runs Wednesday through Saturday, with Sunday hours in the afternoon and evening, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Reservations can be booked online, takeout and advance orders can be placed ahead, and gift cards are sold. The patio is a popular spot in good weather. Lady Jaye is on California Avenue SW in West Seattle, and the owners also run The Meat Shop, a butcher counter selling local beef at a separate Cloverdale Street location.
