Eden Hill Restaurant
A 24-seat restaurant tucked into unassuming upper Queen Anne, Seattle — critically acclaimed for “provocative” and “delicious” tasting menus from chef Maximillian Petty.
For ten years, Eden Hill Restaurant occupied a single small storefront at the top of Queen Anne Hill — one dining room, twenty-four seats, and a kitchen that reprinted its menu every single day.
Eden Hill opened on September 4, 2015, the work of chef Maximillian Petty, and quietly became one of Seattle’s most respected small restaurants: a Rising Star Chef semifinalist three times over at the James Beard Awards, a fixture on “best of Seattle” lists, and a neighborhood favorite for guests who wanted a la carte plates one night and a five-course chef’s tasting the next. The restaurant closed for good on September 4, 2025, exactly a decade after it opened. This site preserves its menu, its people, and its story.
A menu printed fresh, every day
Eden Hill never ran the same menu twice. Roughly forty percent of the a la carte dishes changed over any given month, alongside a nightly chef’s tasting menu. Below is a sample from a later season, alongside the restaurant’s very first printed menu from opening night.

$12Wagyu Ribeye
Dijon salt, broccolini, onion rings, scallion & miso mayo, red onion demi

$14A Rising Star Chef on Queen Anne Hill
Born and raised in the Seattle area, Maximillian Petty cooked across the country — from a sister’s restaurant kitchen in his teens to stints at Crème Café & Lounge, King Estate Winery, and Olivia — before returning home to open Eden Hill in 2015. The James Beard Foundation named him a Rising Star Chef semifinalist three times over the years that followed.
Eden Hill Hospitality, the group behind the restaurant, also operated Big Max Burger Co., Ho*Spice, and Eden Hill Provisions, a sister bar nearby on Queen Anne Avenue N.
