Canlis: what do users think?

jake devlin: A phenomenal experience and an absolutely must do if you are looking for fine dining in the area. Service and presentation were amazing and the food was full of flavor and meticulously prepared. My guest was a pescatarian and was easily accommodated.Parking: The parking lot comes up quick and the turn around is pretty far out of the way so be careful when approaching.

Sherry Fan: out of all the fine dining places in seattle, this doesn’t necessarily have the best food, but it undoubtedly has the best service and atmosphere. i appreciate that there is a formal dress code as it really elevates the ambiance of the meal. the service is truly unmatched; you feel very welcomed and the staff takes care of every aspect of your experience. the view is probably one of the best in seattle. however, for the price point, the food is merely good. there certainly were dishes that blew my mind, but this was maybe 2 out of the 10 dishes we tried. the drinks again were good, but not particularly special. again at this price point i would expect the food and drinks to be more singular.

Girish Shekhar: On my first visit to a fine dining establishment in Seattle, I was treated to a truly exceptional experience. Despite the set menu, the staff graciously accommodated our requests, showcasing their dedication to personalized service. From the moment we arrived, the valet and welcoming staff set the tone for a memorable evening. Each expertly prepared course was a masterful fusion of rich flavors, with every bite a testament to the chef's culinary artistry. The entire experience was a symphony of warmth, elegance, and gastronomic delight.Note : This is not a traditional dining experience in Seattle so make sure to dress up with suits, sport coat and dresses.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian set menu.

Chris Roach: Absolutely incredible dining experience. Was fortunate enough to attend a dinner lecture series in the upstairs section. Some of the most delicate and delicious cuisine I have ever had. Most amazing salmon I have ever tasted.Dietary restrictions: Staff were very considerate and careful to ask about dietary restrictions and offered vegetarian/options for their set menu

James Edward: 由於疾病,我有一些非常特殊的飲食需求。儘管有套餐,但他們非常願意提供服務,沒有錯過任何一個節拍,並表現出真正的水平。食物很美味而且做得很好。套餐菜單是一種經典的高檔餐廳食物(鮭魚),做得很好。特殊餐點:我吃肉,但我不能吃高纖維食物或麩質和其他一些東西。

Nue: what do users think?

DMeganR: Love that reservations are available. Sunday brunch was super yummy. Filipino breakfast passed muster with my Filipino husband, was delicious. Gluten free options always a gold star for me. Coffee was A+. Not the friendliest service, but also not unfriendly, so I guess it depends if you care about that kind of thing. Most importantly all the food was very well prepared.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for dairy and gluten issues.

Maria Ramya Caesar: We kicked things off with the "World Butter Plate" – nothing fancy, just a fun way to taste different kinds of butter.Then came the mouthwatering Indonesian Pork Belly and the downright amazing South African Bunny Chow. Seriously, they blew us away.And to top it all off, we indulged in the Danish Drømmekage Dream Cake.Overall, the food was out of this world, and I absolutely loved the vibe of the place. It was totally unique.Would definitely visit again

Sara Roth: the war fries and the south African bunny chow. The waiter was patient with us when he was explaining how to eat everything and the food was out of this world with flavor. I would definitely come here again. The decor is also perfectly on theme!

Gregory Lee: were very delicious. Highly recommend the Brazilian Acarajé and South African Bunny Chow. As far as the water bugs - if you want to see your friends squirm and have a laugh, then try it. Otherwise, the bugs really don't have much flesh and the taste was not my cup of tea. Would not recommend that dish for the price. Everything else was 👍 also, don't bother looking for street parking, just park in the public lots as the price is about the sameParking: Don't bother finding street parking, just park in the public lots as the price is about the same

Kiran S: Nue on Capitol Hill isn't just a dining spot; it's a small, charming, and undeniably hipster haven where culinary adventures await. Stepping into Nue feels like entering a cozy retreat, where each dish promises to surprise and delight. My recent visit to Nue left me wanting more, and I'm excited to share my experience.To kick off our journey, we started with the Beirut Style Hummus—an absolute treat served with warm, fluffy pita bread. The creamy texture and flavorful blend of tahini, lemon, and garlic made for a perfect appetizer, setting the stage for what was to come.We ordered the Portuguese Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich. Picture tender chicken, marinated in a fiery Peri Peri sauce, nestled between slices of toasted artisan bread, and topped with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato. Each bite was a burst of bold flavors, perfectly balancing spice and freshness.Next up was the South African Bunny Chow—a dish that stole the show with its bold and comforting flavors. Savoring the aromatic curry served in a hollowed-out loaf of bread was an experience in itself, transporting me to the streets of South Africa with every bite. This was shockingly amazing!The ambiance at Nue perfectly complements the eclectic menu, with its quirky decor and laid-back vibe. The attentive service only added to the charm, making our dining experience truly memorable.In conclusion, Nue on Capitol Hill is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary adventure waiting to be explored. Whether you're a food enthusiast or a curious diner seeking new experiences, Nue promises to delight your taste buds and ignite your sense of wanderlust.

The Capital Grille: what do users think?

Stanislav Gates: From hostess, to waiters and waitresses, to the kitchen staff, everyone went far and beyond to meet our special needs at the table.The food exceeded our already high expectations. Lamb, steak were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The sides were very generous and worth the price.Expect to spend around 140 USD per person with couple drinks each, so it should be considered for special occasions, since it is not on the cheap side. With that said, it was worth every penny, and my friends and I are looking forward to coming back here again in the future.Dietary restrictions: The restaurant has gluten free menu per requests.

최승구: Best experience.The ultimate kindness.Best customer service.

How To Cook A Wolf: what do users think?

Mackenzie Brisben: We came here for Seattle Restaurant Week recently and had the following:Marinated Olives: perfectionSteak Tartare: I loved it but my two friends didn’t like it at allAhi Tuna: to me was super bland and almost tasted watery? I don’t know how to describe it. Only one of the three of us liked this item.Kale Salad: amazingAgnolotti: delicious but small portionsPaccheri Nero: was made celiac friendly for us which was awesome. It was meh though due to the sauce being understated.Steak: the potatoes and broccolini with the steak were perfect however the steak was confusing because some bites were amazing while others were tough and under seasoned. I had it medium rare. Huge potion though!Pistachio Gelato with Shortbread Cookie: delicious and generous serving size.Cheesecake: kind of seemed like it came from Whole Foods which I’m sure it didn’t but just not that exciting and pretty small for portion size compared to the gelato.Overall it definitely was not bad food but adding 1-2 glasses of wine to this $65 prefix menu landed us at $122 each and it was super not worth that. Sorry! I found it disappointing.Dietary restrictions: Can do celiac friendly foods

Leanne Mustafa: it was pricey, like $200ish, but that's with multiple drinks too. Over all it was a delight from start to finish. Amazing food, great pace, wonderful service we're coming again with friends 😍😍😍

Randy: Quality food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

Laura: Visited on Valentine's Day and ordered from their Wolfie Valentine prix fixe menu, which included four shared appetizers, choice of pasta, choice of main, and choice of dessert.Steak tartare - it was okay, but pretty bland and under seasoned. Kind of had to rely and the salt flakes on the cracker for seasoning. I also wish the crackers were thicker, or that there were a couple more of them.Ahi crudo - pretty good, sauces were tasty and well balanced!Delicata squash with goat cheese - this was my favorite of the appetizers. Well cooked, slightly caramelized.Burrata with beets & kumquat - beets and kumquats were sweet and sour, which complemented the creamy burrata really well.Duck pappardelle - pasta was overcooked, so it was kind of mushy. Sauce was a bit plain, but duck was nice and tender.Black trumpet tagliatelle - well cooked, and tasty! Huge portion, we ended up taking some home to save space for the main course.Scallops - sadly also overcooked, so they were too chewy. I thought the fresh blood orange slices were a bit overpowering, but enjoyed all the other components.Zabuton - well cooked, but the cut was fattier than we expected. And more weight from the nduja butter on top. It needed something more to counterbalance the fattiness. The rutabaga puree was unpleasantly bitter.Almond frangipane torte - by far our favorite course! Delicious mix of flavors and textures. Only regret was ordering soebetto instead of two tortes.Service - overall very attentive, friendly service. The check in was not quite ideal, since there's no space inside to wait for your reservation, so we had to wait outside in the cold.Ambiance - cozy and romantic.

Six Seven restaurant: what do users think?

ArcAngel: Beautiful view, delicious coffee and delightful staff. The food was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant was charming. Not too pricey either!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options on their breakfast menu such as waffles, french toast, bagels, parfait, omelets and pastries!!

Chris E: First time visiting, during a trip to Seattle. We stopped in for happy hour. We were able to get a table outside. This restaurant is located in the Edgewater Hotel, on the northern end of the Seattle waterfront area. Happy hour prices for drinks are a couple dollars off. And they have a limited food menu. I ordered the wagu sliders, which came with garlic fries. Both were very good, in my opinion. And made a good meal. The weather was fantastic, so that made the experience even better.

Jay X.: , she forgot about us again and never came to pick it back up. At this point its been more than 20 minutes and the wind had picked up so me and girlfriend just walked up to the reception area and waited for someone. For a total of $100+ and $20+ per dish, it was not worth it, considering the lack of service we received.

Art of the Table: what do users think?

Jesse C: Art of the Table is a wonderful experience. Their menu chances every few weeks so you'll always get new food. They can accommodate for vegan or any other dietary restrictions too. Their vegan tasting menu I had was the best meal of my life. My partner had the regular omni meal with two upgraded courses, one with caviar and one with Wagyu tenderloin that she also loved as. They offer an excellent wine pairing as well. The atmosphere is great. Cozy, not too loud or quiet, and the staff is very friendly and incredible knowledgeable about every dish.Vegetarian options: Every dish can be made vegan or vegetarianDietary restrictions: Every meal can be modified for any dietary restrictions.

RT Shaw: . As much as I would have loved to tell you the details of each plate, it was overwhelming and just flat out amazing. Depth of flavor, crunchy, soft, chewy, hot, cold, spicy, comfort, refined, and on and on and on...amazing food. It's all prepared at the open kitchen if you want to marvel at their chef prep skills too. For those looking for a night out with not only quality food, but also some of the best service ever. Must experience.Vegetarian options: Tell them your dietary restrictions and they will accommodateDietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, no red meat, allergies, preferences

Hyunseok Gil: I was extremely impressed with the fish dishes that the restaurant offered as alternatives for those my family couldn't consume. The quality of the pre-main courses was so high that, by comparison, the main dish appeared somewhat average. Both the service and the food reflected fine dining standards, yet the ambiance was comfortably relaxed, which made our meal more enjoyable. The only drawback was the absence of a designated parking lot, which was a minor inconvenience.

Tilikum Place Cafe: what do users think?

Ryan Chavez: This place is a great little restaurant. Get a reservation while you can! Dinner was fantastic! This place runs like clockwork since there are two chefs making all the food. It's quite a feat! The French Onion Soup is so cheesy and sweet, highly recommended. We followed it up with the Spring Salad which was refreshing. Our main entrees were the Halibut and Pork Tenderloin. Both were so delicious. The pork was light yet hearty and the fish a perfectly crispy skin. The servers were super friendly and personable. Even though they were plenty busy, they took their time to stop and chat and answer questions. Definitely coming back!

D Walker: Definitely, one of the best meals I have had in years. The service was attentive and personable from the time we came through the door until we departed. Great wine selection, the burrata/fava bean appetizer was amazing, and the risotto was extremely well executed. The pork chop was so tender, and the greens and crispy polenta were the perfect complement. Highly recommend.

dasa djuric: The dutch baby pancakes are incredible 🙌🏻Food: 5/5 …

Jeremy Tafoya: Tilikum Place: Where every bite feels like a culinary hug! From the delectable dishes to the impeccable service, this place hits all the marks. The staff's warmth and expertise elevate the experience, especially when sipping on their divine Old Fashioned made with love. Oysters that sing perfection and an atmosphere that whispers relaxation, all at a great price. Tilikum Place is a must-visit gem! This was a great way to end our Space needle sight seeing!

Shaker + Spear: what do users think?

EZ: Shake and Spear exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. Not only did the restaurant boast an inviting atmosphere and impeccable service, but it also impressed with its efficiency and attention to detail.Our food arrived promptly, a pleasant surprise compared to other restaurants of similar caliber. The seamless coordination between the kitchen and our table ensured that our dishes were served promptly, allowing us to savor each bite without delay. Additionally, the staff effortlessly cleared our finished dishes, ensuring that our dining experience remained smooth and uninterrupted.Furthermore, I was pleased to find that the restroom maintained the same standard of cleanliness and sophistication as the rest of the establishment. Its pristine condition added to the overall positive impression of Shake and Spear, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to excellence in every aspect of the dining experience.In sum, Shake and Spear is a true standout in Seattle's culinary scene, offering not only delectable cuisine but also exceptional service and attention to detail. It's a dining destination that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable meal.

Yan Sun: This is a restaurant that is very, very worth visiting. The reason why it gets four points is based on my own usual evaluation system. In a place like Downtown, the taste needs to be very distinctive to match the location and customer base. And parking is so difficult. It's fine here.We ordered the appetizer of tiger prawns, seafood barbecue and seafood pot. They are all signs. The appetizer base includes mango and cherry tomatoes. The tiger prawns are not too big, and the tail after cooking is only as big as a six- or seven-year-old child's little finger. But it tastes really great. My kids raved about the side dishes. There are chickpeas on the bottom of the seafood pot, and the soup is a little spicy and very delicious. Pair it with clams, shrimps, and the sweetness of the seafood is brought out. The seafood at Grill, the snow crab legs are average, but fortunately they are plump. Two pieces of corn may have different origins, one is sweet and the other is dry. The shrimp is excellent. The sausage that goes with it is great.The child ordered two flavors of ice cream and didn't expect it at all, so I can't comment on the dessert.The service is super good, which is rare in Seattle. The atmosphere is very good, which shows that the quality of the surrounding residents is very high.

Jade Kelley: . I absolutely love the ambiance too. It’s a true wine bar vibe. Shoutout to Robin, our waitress that had amazing energy.

Marcie Swazer: Zero complaints. Their food was all top notch quality bursting with flavor. We ordered the octopus, the 1/2 dozen oysters, crab fritters and the shaved Brussels sprouts with edamame. My husband went crazy over the Brussels, do not skip!Their cocktails were too good and very strong. You can tell they use quality ingredients.Robyn was our server and made us feel very welcomed right away. The hostess was also very nice. Robyn was very informative about the dishes and drinks and helped us decide what to order based on our own tastes. She was attentive but not overly attentive.The vibe and decor was also really fun. We’d absolutely come back to try more dishes and drinks!

Mamnoon: what do users think?

Tanya Gelli: , fatteh and shish taouk! The shish taouk is chicken kebab which is tasty but not unique. Fatteh was just AWESOME. I’m going to come back to eat just that! And then we ordered Baklava, which was delicious. I’ve had baklava in several places and I’ve never been a fan. But having it here changed that. It was the best Baklava I’ve ever had. Totally recommend this place!!

Punya Shah: Food: 5/5

Jennifer Franzmann: Food was perfect. Service was attentive. It was exactly what a dining splurge should be.Dietary restrictions: They ask immediately and multiple times about dietary restrictionsKid-friendliness: My daughter declared the chicken skewers the best chicken she’s ever had

Gandhali Juvekar: The 4 is more like a 3.5. Lots of vegetarian options in the shared plates menu. Not a lot of options for the entrees. We were a group of 6 and we ended up ordering about 5 shared plates because the quantity was not sufficient. We also order 2 of the only vegetarian entrees and 1 meat based entree, but the portion size was small for the entree as well. The shared plates tasted great but we were kept wanting for more due to the size. The desserts were too sweet and almost too syrupy for me. The takeout menu seemed a little better so might try that next time.

Cafe Campagne: what do users think?

DeBuen Diente: Nice restaurant one block from the market, the dishes are good and varied, the quality can improve, the drinks are good, the most recommended is the madame sandwich, the waiter's attention was excellent, the service was a little slow since there were quite a few people, the Prices are good for a tourist place, nothing outstanding but a good option for breakfast

Michael Senkow: Was quiet at lunch, would recommend for a quick work lunch.

Naima: This place is tucked away adorably at the market. I thought, well it's so close to the market it must be a tourist trap? Nope. Guess it's been around too long to be such. Delicious authentic food, coffee, and a bright atmosphere with considerate staff members. One of few memorable meals had in my week in Seattle. My colleague recommended this place. Will be recommending to others! Thanks.

Aneka Zarger: I loved everything about this location. The food was delicious and their offerings have something for everyone. The food came out fairly quickly considering how busy the location was. Our waitress and the sommelier were both helpful in answering questions about pairings or dishes. I highly recommend trying their sipping chocolate as you may overlook it! While the venue is smaller and can get a bit loud due to acoustics, they do a fairly nice job of maximizing the space they have.

John Hicks: Amazing food. Will definitely come back

Copine: what do users think?

Naomi See: Copine was an incredible experience. To be clear, it was one of the best, if not the best restaurant we have ever tried- New York, LA, Copenhagen, Seattle.Truly, we dont know how it is not booked out for months. It was WAY BETTER than Canlis- and an of the other high end Seattle restaurants.Every dish was a delight- unique flavors, genius combinations, unbelievably thoughtful wine AND non alcoholic pairings, with perfectly sized portions.The service was amazing. Staff knew every dish, despite it being changed every Thursday.They told stories about the food and were deeply responsive to our preferences.PLEASE COME HERE.

Matt Boldys: Great quality food, beautiful presentation, yet left a little disappointed with the overall meal.Service kept interrupting the conversation.Nice touch at the end, but we have had way better meals in terms of quality to price ratio in too many higher end establishments.

Duane: Another wonderful meal. We had dinner for four on 12/29 and everyone loved the food and the drinks. The atmosphere was beautiful. We could talk w/out yelling. The salmon and the chicken dishes were just perfect. Service was friendly and great. I have to say that I think this is the best food in Seattle right now.4/2024: another amazing culinary adventure. So much good food. All of us loved every course and every cocktail! That is very rare. The amount of work that goes into each dish is truly astonishing. And the wine expert is really an expert!! Service is always a joy. Can’t wait to go back.

Danielle Long: We have been to Copine a couple of times and it is a good experience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I am vegan and they have the chef prepare special courses based on the fresh ingredients they have, which I greatly appreciate. It is a very fine dining experience and my palette is not advanced enough to really appreciate it. The experience is a very fun date night or special occasion idea.

Alessandro Muti: The food was excellent, the portions were just the right size, not too small to leave you wanting but not large enough to leave you full after the second course. The chef was exceptionally attentive to dietary restrictions and was able to create an fantastic experience even if they were working with limited access to ingredients. The staff was very welcoming and attentive without being overwhelming. Overall a fabulous place to celebrate a birthday dinner with the family.

Neil Hickey: . This in no way detracted from our enjoyment, btw, and the Sommelier did a great job describing and educating us on the offerings so it was a definite plus all around.As for pricing, I would say it is quite reasonable for the value received, however it's not an inexpensive evening. That said, if you're looking for an above average fine dining experience in Seattle, you will not be disappointed by Copine!

Kennisha Payne: I don’t know where to start. My friends and I ate here last night and OMG 10/10!! The food, the service, the atmosphere. We all left saying this was the best dining experience we’ve all had. We ordered the biscuits, pimento cheese, fried oysters, smoked carrots, catfish, oxtail, gumbo, Mac and cheese, carrot cake, and peach turnover. This was some of the best food I’ve had from a restaurant in a very long. Everything was cooked to perfection and you could taste every element that was paired with each dish. I wish we would’ve took photos but we ate and left no crumbs just like they did preparing our food. I could go on and on but I will end with this, if you haven’t put June Baby on your list to try, you need to and while you’re at it put it at the top.

Westward: what do users think?

Andrew Bell: After spending our first date and many other special dinners at Westward, we had our wedding reception under the outside tent for 25 people. The view, staff, and especially the food are the best in the city. Our guests have all said it was the best wedding dinner they have ever had. They took care of every detail to make it a perfect night, just like every other time we have dined there. It is our favorite restaurant and we cannot wait to go back!

Ileana L.: Order the tower. It is top

Chad Horn: We were offered indoor or outdoor seating. We chose outdoor and had a tent to ourselves.Service was top notch - very helpful and chillOysters were varied and deliciousThe halibut met all expectations.The place is pricy but worth it for the right occasion, which this was.All in all a very good experience

Daniel Kim (Danny): One of our favorite places to take our guests and probably one of the best places to get oysters. We love getting the crispy potatoes, having a glass of wine and I always make sure to get an order of the sourdough bread with the salted butter. Great outdoor seating for the warmer sunnier times and love being on Lake Union looking at the Seattle City skyline across the water. Always a fun time at Westward!

Sawyer: what do users think?

Marsha Krebs: Only a week left to enjoy this gem.

Michael Lynch: Excellent service and creative dishes you won't find anywhere else. We definitely overordered for two people. A single appetizer, entree, and dessert would be just right. Instead we also got the pork sandwich and regretted eating so much delicious food.

Natalee Lopez: Compliments to the chef and helpful staff. Every single thing is delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. Cocktails are delicious too.Recommended dishes Pork Belly Steam Buns, Wood-Grilled Artichokes …

Stephanie L: , juicy sirloin, delicious cod, and that leches cake. I was completely stuffed and couldn’t get enough!! The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the service was absolutely wonderful and took the meal to the next level. I cannot wait to visit again!

Alex Como: . I dare anyone to work our industry for a day and say we are adequately compensated.You love that new restaurant down the street? By all means, frequent it. But don't take everyone you know and order everything you can. You try putting out 7 different orders in 15 minutes with cook times of 8 to 15 minutes, restock your line, clean your line, track your stock, and have time for a break, for an 8 to 10 hour shift.Right now restaurant workers are working way too many hours because nobody wants to work this industry anymore because of the lack of respect and pay. I don't know a sous chef who isn't working 60 hours a week right now because they can't fill their rosters.Anyone looking to pay the bills? Please join our industry- take this as a call to arms so to speak. We need people so we can keep giving you guys amazing food, service and experiences!Chef Mayers, you have my full support. Same with everyone at Sawyer.

Aurelia Mai: Great service, delicious food, wonderful ambience!

Janet Williams: Food and drinks were so so good. Thomas in the kitchen was so nice.

Baylor G: Friendly staff, good food, nice portion size, and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Jonathan Shadel: I loved every dish and drink I tried. The service was impeccable and the space is beautiful.

Hongyi Shen: the duck rolls are divine, but at $16 for 2 rolls, it's practically $4 per half a roll. If you believe you're getting the fine dining experience, it could be worth it. just giving a head's up.the goat curry was similarly very yummy! it's rare to find goat meat dishes - one of the healthiest meats you can consume. that said, goat meat is very tough, and while the meat is very nicely pulled and shredded in the curry, it is still very tough to chew on. ive not had many other goat dishes to say it's untypical of other goat meals, but again, another heads up. other reviews have also commented on the price. i personally think it can be reasonable depending on the kind of experience you think you're getting, but the portions aren't big for sure.

Herakles Li: Came here for their Valentine's Day set menu. The food was really really good. The chili crisp stroganoff which is available on their regular menu was one of my favorites. Just a bomb of flavor and the potato cakes were a wonderful texture and something I wish I could find in a store to take home and make.Definitely a worthwhile stop if looking for a modern fusion twist to classic Asian dishes and/or a slightly fancier date night spot.

David Tauber: Such a great place for a wonderful meal. The vibe is awesome, the food is outstanding, and our server was such a nice guy. He even got my friend the paint colors they used in the restaurant… above and beyond.We loved the fresh rolls. Cocktails are good, but if you like boozy tasting cocktails… you won’t be finding them here.Visit!

Justin Soliz: This is one of the better spots in Seattle. Well executed, creative French Vietnamese fusion dishes with wonderful flavors and texture.As a bonus, they have a somewhat small but strategically stocked wine selection including many great French burgundy's and Chablis which can be harder to find amongst the typical wine list saturated with Oregon producers.

Lucia Villarreal: The food is the standout star of the restaurant. I came here for diner to catch up with family. The sticky rice dumplings were incredible, I’ve been thinking about them ever since I had them. The crispy duck fresh rolls were perfect as well, with beautiful textures and flavors. They had good N/A drinks as well. The dessert was spectacular as well, with the vanilla duck egg custard being the stand out star. The playing was beautiful and the food delicious. The chocolate crème torte was good as well but less unique. My one complaint was that it is quite noisy but I also visited at peak dinner hour on a Friday night.Dietary restrictions: They had a lot of non-alcoholic beverage options!

Stavros Macrakis: I enjoyed Stateside. My first course was crunchy chili garlic prawns, which were fantastic. I really enjoyed the prawn taste, and the crisp chopped garlic was a great complement, as was their home-made sriracha. Five nice prawns.The goat curry was less exciting. I expected the flavors to be more distinct, but the dried green beans weren't very prominent and the dish was very brown and stewy. The portion was generous.Wine service was good -- I asked to taste the Cab vs. the Syrah, and they happily obliged. Perhaps that sort of service explains the high price.

Altura: what do users think?

C. L.: There aren't enough good things that can be said about Altura.From the moment you enter the restaurant and the hosts greet you with a warm and friendly hello and ask to hang your coats. To sitting down and having a small hot towel brought to clean your hands. A delicious aperitif brought to start your night. Every interaction is polite, attentive and professional.We have gone to Altura for my birthday two years in a row. We will be going again for our anniversary in two months.Both experiences, the food and presentations were beautiful and delicious. Each menu was a different experience with a few staples we loved from our previous visit. Everything is amazing, there wasn't a single item or dish we were even slightly disappointed by. The same can be said for the drinks, wine and dessert.A perfect place for a special night out. They've made my birthday feel really special each time and we're so happy every time we visit. Truly something to experience for yourself.Thank you to all the Altura staff, we can't wait to see you all again soon.- Tina & Kris

Coonoor Behal: This place is out of this world, I can't believe I don't see it on more "Best of" lists for Seattle. I prioritize "event meals" in my life and this is easily in my top 10 ever. Was fortunate enough to get off the waitlist and take my parents there for Christmas Eve and it was a delight start to finish. Food is just jaw-droppingly moan-worthy, every single item took our breath away. I got the wine pairing and loved it...they for sure snuck in some extra wines for me too but didn't make a big deal out of it! Service is lovely and clearly professional but also relaxed. Love the look of the place too, more like a taverna rather than a stiff, white table cloth place you'd imagine at this price point and quality.

Archipelago: what do users think?

Aileen Alon: Incredible and unique dining experience from start to finish. Loved the history, fresh ingredients, attention to detail, and warm service. I don’t eat meat and they were super accommodating. Everything was delicious. Hard to get reservations but worth it - I highly recommend Archipelago. Salamat!Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating of dietary restrictions and will call you before your reservation date to confirm.

黃玉麟: This is not a regular restaurant. They do Philipino tasting menus and only take online reservations. They open on certain days of the week and serve only two dinner seatings on those nights. The food is interesting and tasty. However, the portion is on the petite side, so if you're hungry going in, you probably won't feel full coming out. The chef and staffs are friendly and very attentive. As the tasting menu goes, it's more about the experience, the stories, the influences, and the inspirations on the food.

Elizabeth Garcia: , and it felt like we were visiting someone's home. There are thoughtful touches throughout, like family photos and dried wreaths. The food was some of the best I have ever had the gift of enjoying! I loved learning about the important Filipino members of the Seattle community. I cannot wait to come back. Special thanks to Olli, Carlena, and Aaron

David Wakazuru: Wow! I tried for a long time to get reservations, maybe a couple years. I finally set an alarm for the minute reservations became available and I snagged a spot for two on 1/20/24, back in November. The wait was long but I am so happy with everything about this restaurant. Exceptional food, service, atmosphere and did I mention the food? Every one of the 12 courses was spot on. Perfect taste, texture and presentation. Sure, the price is sky high, but if there's one place you must try in Seattle, this is it. If I had to come up with one negative, it would be that the portions are tiny, and most people would leave a little hungry. But don't let that scare you away. I will definitely return, over and over again.

Obie King-Bagley: Archipelago might be the best restaurant in Seattle, full stop. Definitely a high-end meal, the tasting course functions as an experience in addition to the meal. Throughout the modern takes on Filipino dishes, you learn about the history of Filipino immigration in Seattle, and the lives of said immigrants. I liked most of the dishes, the only one I wasn't a fan of was the bread course, though I don't like mushrooms to begin with, so it was already facing an uphill battle. The juice pairing was also unique and excellent, and overall I was very impressed with Archipelago.

Chelsea Otakan: and grew up on Filipino food.As others have mentioned, the service, presentation, storytelling, and atmosphere are all top notch. I had very little knowledge about Filipino culture in the PNW and Seattle area and learned a lot. For example, Carnation condensed milk, a Filipino pantry staple and a brand I few up with, was located in Carnation, WA.For those who are complaining about the ingredients

Ben Wilson: Loved this place! The food was amazing and combined with the family-style service the experience was over the top. I loved learning about the local Phillipino experience and culture. Since they only seat about 12 people at a time, the service is intimate and immersive. The story telling uses music, narrative and pictures, and is super interesting and well done!Vegetarian options: You just let them know your dietary requirements and they customize the meal for you. Fantastic!

Lark Restaurant: what do users think?

Danielle Minick: Not the typical fine dining experience you expect for the posted website/pictures. The waiter did not ask about any diet restrictions, we have a severe nut allergy. The atmosphere was nice, quiet, pretty. The food was good, nothing that "blew our minds" and their four course menu is the best option. It was our anniversary dinner and they did give us a complimentary celebratory drink, which was nice but one of us doesn't drink alcohol; another point of asking questions can be good service.

Linda McLoon: Lark is a small fine dining restaurant in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is beautiful inside, with lots of wood. The atmosphere, as you might expect at a restaurant from a James Beard award winning chef, is serene and upscale.The craft cocktails didn't appeal to me. I opted for a glass of rose wine. At $17, it is not cheap.My companion and I both had the hamachi crudo. He asked for it to be spiced up, and they gladly accommodated his request. The fish was lovely, and the dish was very citrusy with preserved lemon, lemon oil, and green olives. It is served with thinly sliced fennel in the lemony dressy. For my taste, I found it a bit too sour, and it definitely overpowered the delicate fish. I ate the fennel and lemon as a salad, followed by the fish separately, and this gave the hamachi a chance to shine.My companion was very happy with the elk dish, which was served as a chop and as a crepinette. The taste I had of the elk was surprisingly tough unfortunately.I opted for the agnolotti. It was served with fresh spring peas, fiddlehead ferns, favs beans, and credenza cheese. Needless to say, the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the vegetables were the essence of spring. It was sauced in a very butter-rich, highly acidic sauce. While it was fine, I found it way too sour and it took away from the other ingredients. It was a pity, as I generally love "sour".The desserts we had were sensational. I had the rhubarb galette. The pastry was flaky, and the filling was just the right level of sweetness. The blood orange sorbet was fantastic. I would love more of that.The prices are steep. My pasta was the least expensive item on the menu, at $38. The portion size was fine, but by no means big. The elk chop was $56. The hamachi was $26. You expect this at a "fine-dining" restaurant, but it is definitely on the more expensive side.The service was impeccable. The interior is beautiful. The food was fine, but not at the highest level I would expect from a restaurant with this price point.

Patrick Conlan: One of Seattle's best restaurants. Hyperlocal, hyperseasonal, and always tasty, beautifully presented, and interesting.My Spring Leaves were dressed with a citrus vinaigrette, my Agnolotti were cheesy, creamy and softly chewy, and the fiddlehead ferns were tender and fresh.Great service in a beautiful space as well.

Alyssa Gonzalez: and the Oaxacan torte.I do want to give Lauren another special shout out because she made us feel so welcomed and offered incredible hospitality. As the AGM of a restaurant myself, she’s definitely a gem. She even took the time to write a list of places we should go and see, all of which we are experiencing today. I really want to tell her thanks for the incredible experience!

Charles H: Amazing dinner here with friends. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The only complaint was the emmer bucatini my friend's fiance had didn't have much ragu and was all pasta.Otherwise the "chowder", bread service, elk loin, and duck leg my wife and I had were excellent. Cocktails were tasty as well and definitely recommend the bag pipes in Barbados.

Yoshi W: We went to Lark for the first time for our 18th anniversary. Even though it was a very cold, snowy night, we really wanted to stick to the exact date to celebrate.Many restaurants in Seattle these days are kind of packed with tables, narrow, and very noisy.We were hoping to get a quiet booth, and we did. The spacious inside, pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, very tasty food and friendly workers, made everything perfect. We are quite satisfied and happy. Thank you!

Tom Elwood: The lobster bisque poured tableside looked beautiful but didn't get rave reviews from the 3 who had it. The elk was incredibly tender and umami-delicious and flavorful, and the roasted cabbage and kasha

Brian G.: to share and each one was excellent. For our entrees we had the bucatini and the crab bisque and shared those as well. Loved them all! The smoked beets and the crab bisque were our two favorites of the bunch.

Kimberly Pham: it will leave a dent in your wallet. If you don't want a set tasting menu you will need to ask for the bar area.They recently reopened after two years of Covid shutting down so go support them, folks.
