    Brunch was excellent - catfish with grits and bread pudding French toast were the perfect sweet and savory combo to share. Coffee was also very good. Beautiful bar and interior will be bringing me back for dinner.

    My wife, my grown-up daughter, and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Palisade. It was all great: fast service leading us to our table (reserved ahead of time), excellent food, great view of the marina and downtown Seattle, and the food was served at a slow speed so we could enjoy a 2 hour dinner with good conversation. The price was higher than what we usually experience when we go to a restaurant for dinner. However, the price was as expected on a Christmas Eve at a first class restaurant.
