I obtained a 2 hour window reservation for a show. The service was was excellent, but they couldn’t deliver on the time. Never received our meal before the show. I won’t be back.

The concern that we had was that with the salmon and the halibut there was too much salt.

The food and drinks were great. The noise level wasn’t “intimate” but it was conversation-level. The wait staff was friendly and informative, but seemed a little thinly stretched. Finally, the check included a 20% service charge which looked like a “tip” for the staff (most restaurants now disclose when the establishment keeps the charge), but of course there was a separate Tip line. The server didn’t mention whether a tip was included or not, so I found the whole thing a little “sneaky” (even if unintentional).

This is the ideal place to enjoy dinner before a show at the 5th Ave or other nearby theaters in Seattle. The food is interesting with just enough inventiveness and the chef at the wood fire grill make delicious moist grill meats. Service was great offering good recommendations for us.

Thank you, Janine! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

The service at the restaurant was poor. The waitress misheard our order and one of my friends got wrong food. The replacement came more than 30 minutes later. Only when complained to the manager - we received an apology and a discount. Food was over salted.

Alexandra, I am so sorry for your experience on Saturday. We will work on doing a better job of accuracy. I know this doesn't make your visit better. Your feedback will help us get better. Thank you so much.

Food was good but spendy. Service was awful. Granted, they were busy, but wasn't acknowledged for 17 minutes after being seated. Also, it should be noted that they add a 20% service fee to the bill.

Laura, I am so sorry for your experience. I will work with the team to improve service. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback.
