NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS

FUTURE OPENINGS

Glo's List
The beloved Capitol Hill diner Glo's List , known for its inimitable eggs benedict, is moving out of its cozy E Olive Way location, where it has happily resided for 34 years. The longtime breakfast favorite, which recently reopened for indoor dining in its current space, plans to relocate to a new home in Capitol Hill Station List (which will also house the highly anticipated H-Mart) in 2022. The change is bittersweet for fans who are attached to the old Glo's, but owner Julie Reisman tells Capitol Hill Seattle she is excited for the opportunity for growth—the restaurant's new home will have over 2,900 square feet (as opposed to the current 830) and will overlook Cal Anderson List .

The restaurant will be run by the current owners of Mirch Masala List and will feature pizzas with toppings like butter chicken or curried vegetables. An opening date has not yet been announced.
