    I’m from out of state and was here before, years ago. Obviously, they have remained consistently excellent in all categories. The steak is my go-to but they have a well rounded menu. I love that they have optional steak toppings that are a healthy portion you can share with others. Don’t skip over the potato pancakes! Yum.

    Great views, wonderful service and food was outstanding. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and they had confetti on table and a signed bday card for him! Brought him out a slice of the most amazing cake with a candle. Made the whole experience really great.

    Great Valentine’s Day dinner…found this gem on Open Table and they had a prix fixe menu that night with amazing choices. So delicious and good portion size. The s’mores dessert made at the table was the best! The high end and comfortable camp decor was perfect and so were the cocktails. Our waiter Patrick was great and so was the hostess and bartender. Highly recommend trying this special spot!

    The chefs tasting menu was exceptional. Just way beyond our expectations. Having been here for happy hours only and always enjoying our meal, the chefs menu was just more than we had expected. But, to hopefully not hype it up too much and disappoint anyone, just have moderate to no expectations and you won’t be disappointed lol. Cheers! We will for sure be back for the chefs tasting menu, 1 item only was something from the main menu, otherwise you get try try items not on the menu. We had 4 starters (tuna, broccoli, salad and another leafy dish), 1 pasta (lamb), 1 protein (steak and risotto) and tiramisu. Chefs kiss.

    I had family here from California, and we arranged to meet at this restaurant, which I had been to once previously. I remembered that it was good, and also that it was near Seattle Center, and I had a hunch these two would want to poke around over there once our meal was done, so it was a perfect location. The service was warm and friendly, but never intrusive, and the food was divine. I ordered the "sweet stuff" French toast with caramel and strawberries; nobody else makes it like this, and it was mouthwatering! I also ordered (to go) some "soft scramble" eggs with asparagus and Dungeness crab. It's so hard to get real, fresh crab anymore, what with the overfishing, but my eggs had actual leg segments of crab in them, a perfect ratio of filling to egg. The eggs came with their amazing potatoes, and my husband and I had that dish, along with a small amount of leftovers from my French Toast, for dinner that night. This may be my favorite Seattle restaurant right now! The cherry on the sundae, so to speak, was that when we were finished, we sat and chatted and nobody seemed anxious to kick us out of our booth. Oh hell yes.
