The Spot
COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar sits in Seattle's Central District, founded by Chef Kristi Brown to serve Southern-rooted, Pacific Northwest-inspired cooking. The restaurant is Black-owned, with a menu that runs through brunch and dinner service.

Dishes on offer include grilled chicken, stuffed trout, collard greens, grilled okra, black-eyed pea hummus, deviled eggs, dumplings, and pork chops. Sunday brunch runs alongside nightly dinner. The restaurant also offers private dining, catering, and order-to-go service.

Brown was named a James Beard Foundation Best Chef Northwest & Pacific finalist in 2024, following an Emerging Chef semifinalist nod in 2022. COMMUNION has also been named to Eater's essential Seattle list and included among Seattle Met's best restaurants of 2025.
