    The Pink Door is my wife and my favorite restaurant in Seattle. The food is delicious, their cocktail creations are always fun to explore, and the high quality of the dining experience is remarkably consistent. During this visit, the pink granita ice elevated the already tasty PNW oysters, both the Lasagna and the Black Cod Fish special were delicious, and the Sicilian pudding and Limoncello provided an excellent finish. Another job well done to the Pink Door chefs, bartenders and staff.

    Our server Louise was wonderful and knowledgeable about the menu. We wanted to order everything on the menu. He helped us to manage and enjoy our food experience. The shareable antipasti was the perfect choice. All the pastas were delicious. It was definitely a taste of Italy. We will have to try the risotto next time. The pork tenderloin and the house special trout was delectable and cooked perfectly. We did save room for dessert. The limone cake and the chocolate torte were very tasty. My husband was very happy that he picked the restaurant for his birthday dinner. We enjoyed every moment. We will definitely return to try the rest of the menu :)
