Best place for cocktails and mocktails in Seattle vicinity. Love the freshness and flavoring of their food as well. Staff are always exceptionally friendly and competent. I keep coming back again and again.

We had such a wonderful time- there was a wonderful selection of non-alcoholic drinks, mine was the Fall of Pearl which was beautifully decorated and so tasty. We ordered about half the menu and loved everything we ate. Strongly recommend the beef tartare which is presented with their delicious homemade crackers, the octopus which was beautifully grilled and presented, and the burrata which was presented on beets. Our server was excellent and gave us the time and space to socialize and interact but also there when we needed assistance. Excellent experience all around.

Fun, intimate bar. Small plates were tasty and artfully displayed. Cocktails were creative and they had a good wine selection, including Txakoli from Spain. We would be happy to return.

We really enjoyed the tapas, cocktails and ambiance of this place in Greenwood - the service was a 10 out of 10. We’ll be back many more times!

Very good food and service. Nice ambiance although a little loud but not more than most restaurants. The best octopus I’ve ever eaten!
