Good food with a view! A little noisy even when it wasn’t crowded but lovely ambience otherwise. Tasty dishes. The portions of the scallops and crab cakes were small compared to cost however.

The Chilean Seabass and hamachi crudo are 10/10 , the cocktails are great, and service is always excellent. The desserts are the only thing that could use some work- I have tried them all and they are in the 5/6 out of 10 range for me.

Mobile reservation, and our seating location request gladly accepted by Jared. Trey, was a great Dukes Ambassador and helpful with drinks (e.g., he asked about my Gin brand preference!) as well as advice about my wife's white wine questions.

Palisade is the best! I look forward to taking going here with my family every time I’m in Seattle. The food is prepared perfectly! We had 3 different seafood dishes and each one was perfectly done- moist, flakey, and with great flavors that complimented each fish (that would be black cod, king salmon, and Chilean sea bass). Service is attentive without being intrusive. Brian saw to it that from water to dessert, we were satisfied. Music started to get too loud to talk, but the manager remedied that quickly. We were then able to enjoy conversation and the live music. With the view of the marina and downtown Seattle plus all of good food and service, we are always satisfied.
