My husband & I went for Thanksgiving and it was very good. I had the turkey dinner and it was flavorful with the stuffing and cranberries. My husband had the filet with shrimp, which he enjoyed. Our server was Andrea and she recognized us from being there before. Everything was very good.

Our Thanksgiving dinner exceeded all expectations! The three-course meal offered so many amazing options, it was hard to choose. I went with the kale salad, surf and turf featuring filet mignon and shrimp, and ended with a decadent chocolate torte paired with vanilla ice cream. Others in our group enjoyed the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and it was just as incredible. The cocktails were equally impressive and complemented the meal perfectly. Having dined here many times before, I was pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a three-course dinner option year-round. With impeccable service, breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, and consistently outstanding food, this restaurant is sure to become a regular favorite for dining out in Seattle.
