    Back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet! The crab, shrimp and oysters were all delicious and high quality. Great omelette and pasta station options too. The prime rib was ok, along with the ham, but nothing special. Best to eat seafood at a seafood restaurant! Get reservations well in advance!

    We were Warmly welcomed even as our reservation had to be modified from 5 to 2 due to our friend’s sudden illness. Our cocktails were very good (Manhattans with 2 gourmet cherry accompaniment). My husband’s Cranberry Creek oysters were so delicious he ordered more. My salad of Gem lettuce, blue cheese, sieved egg, soft croutons was generous & tasty. I enjoyed my pasta & would have taken some home but my husband finished it! We couldn’t find room for dessert…. maybe next time.

    JAK says always delivered on the food the service and the ambience. The waiter was extremely helpful,, courteous and very quick about taking our orders and delivering what we requested. I was even visited by the manager. If you haven’t eaten there, you’ve missed an experience. Their steaks are incredibly good, I think better than Ruth’s Chris steakhouse. It is a West Seattle jewel and we frequent it often.
