Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Capitol Hill / First Hill

what a great experience from start to finish. He really did a nice job putting this place together. customer services on point food was amazing. For the area service in the food serve their price point is right where it should be. This is a must go to place for date night. Well worth the drive and our server Shawn(hope I spelled his name, right) was amazing very attentive very polite knew exactly how to give good customer service. My wife and I will definitely return.

For starters we had their Hamachi and chanterelle mushroom soup.. and for main courses the black cod and the squab (which is basically a pigeon)… both didn’t disappoint. When it came time for dessert we settled on the crème brule cake and the hibiscus red wine poached pear… that’s when our tastes buds just exploded… wow wow wow… props to their chefs… definitely coming again.

Violet is consistently one of the top restaurants in Seattle. We were a party of four with two out of town guests. We ordered the American Omakase meal with vegetable, fish, and meat courses but without the foie gras. The chef easily accommodated one guest who does not eat beef. As always at Violet, the fish courses were superb--the chef has a real touch with both crude and cooked fish. Plating was lovely and creative, worthy of a starred restaurant. Service was attentive. Wine list is interesting if a little over priced. The restaurant is very loud and would not be good for anyone with hearing problems. It was perhaps worse this evening because there were some very noisy guests. We return to Violet several times a year because it is so very good. Bravo.

My daughter and I had reservations for 2100 Thursday night and from the time we walked in to when we left the entire experience was amazing. We were anxious to try the Tapear Tapearei menu and had an incredible dining experience. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated from start to finish. Since neither of us are big alcohol drinkers we were allowed to split the wine flight pairings without having too much but could experience the flavor pairings which enhanced the experience. An extra star for our servers Stacy and a man that sadly I didn't catch his name. The explanation of the dishes and the anecdotes about the dishes was an added enhancement. Highly recommended.

Brilliant. What a wonderful place. Lauren the bartender and do-everything owner KT were excellent. Really customer focused. Food was not heavy. Salmon was so tasty. The hanger steak was done just right. The only thing we didn’t do was lick the plate but we cleaned it. Next time have to Uber so we can try the whisky flight.
