    My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine's Day at Communion, and it was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to OpenTable's 'Notify Me' feature, we secured a last-minute reservation, setting the stage for a perfect evening. Our server, Christina, recommended the pork chop—a dish I don't usually prefer. However, it was a revelation: juicy, perfectly cooked, and accompanied by a harmonious blend of sauces. As someone who has won first place in a Michelin-star cooking competition among friends, I can confidently say this dish was exceptional. Christina's attentive service and warm demeanor enhanced our evening, making our Valentine's celebration truly special. Communion is a gem in Seattle's dining scene, and we look forward to our next visit.

    We ate here for dinner and got fish and chips. Chips were just slightly salted but great. My husband got the Reuben which was amazing with the old bay Jojos super good. Server also made me an amazing off menu mocktail. We ended the night so full with sticky toffee pudding which was amazing as well. Service was great. Breakfast was great as well definitely try their biscuits and gravy and their h&h breakfast. I would come back again.
