What an experience! This is what true fine dining is - from being warmly greeted outside the front door, being seated in a quiet, private space, being professionally waited on - helping with the wine selection and special offerings. The service was perfectly timed - never a feeling of being ignored or hovered over. Now - the food! Every course was a sensual treat - the presentation, the aromas, the flavors, the colors, taste. There were 8 in our party and we all were saying "Oh my God, you have got to try this" as we offered each a taste of our meals. I have traveled the world a bit and this is, by far, the most memorable dining experience we all have had! Oh, and the head chef came out introduce herself to thank us, as well as the owner of the restaurant. What an evening!

Carefully constructed dishes with sublime flavors. The service is very well informed and attentive. A must try in Seattle

Enjoyed a phenomenal meal here while visiting Seattle. The restaurant itself is thoughtfully designed and has beautiful mid century features, which allowed for a relaxed yet intimate dining atmosphere. They offer a chef's tasting menu or a la carte. We decided to select items a la carte, but the tasting menu looked wonderful and we hope to try it next time. We ordered the focaccia, Parmesan churros, crab pappardelle, and the sea bass. Everything was Michelin star level, but the sea bass is what stood out. It was hands down the best fish dish I've had because of the quality, taste, and creativity. The service was also perfect. Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. We will make this a regular addition to our trips to Seattle from now on.

An absolute must try if you are in the downtown Seattle area. From the lounge interior to the amazing food and staff, this place hits just right. We booked reservations well before our visit, and I recommend you do as well as it is a smaller venue and fills up fast (because it's amazing). The menu does vary based on seasonal offerings, which is a fun add. Our server was quick to offer suggestions and samples for wines we had questions on. Then she graciously followed up with food recommendations and carefully navigated my allergy to ensure my choices were safe. The interior is warm, inviting and reminiscent of an upscale lounge. They offer an open view of the kitchen so you can see all the food being created. Overall: A+ Nothing was missed here, excellent.

Loved the food. Service can be slower if there is a private party at the same time when you are there. The chef, Christine is amazing and so is the owner . Food can be more innovative but it's on point with taste.

Dinner with our friends tonight. I was hesitate due to traffic and parking Parking: we got free street parking around yesler at and around the block. Free after 6pm. Otherwise, 2hr free or you can pay in the parking lot around the block if you arrived way earlier before 6pm. Restroom: clean and gender neutral Japanese style setting due to Japanese owner. When we seated, the owner stopped by our table to greet us and thank us for coming to his restaurant. I love that!! The menu has both tasting menu and a la carte style. We ordered almost every single dish on the menu.

Most importantly, the service is outstanding. When we were leaving, the owner bow and thanked us again for coming. That's a 5 stars service!! Ps: we were there from 6:15pm-10pm ...lol

Everything about this restaurant was excellent. The service was above and beyond. The owner came over to say hello and was extremely kind and made you feel welcomed dining at his restaurant. We had the 4 course tasting menu. It was delicious and beautifully curated. I recommend this restaurant, and if I find myself in Seattle, I would go out of my way to eat her again.

My good friend and I visited this cool and cozy restaurant for dinner and it did not disappoint. She got a glass of wine and I ordered a dirty vodka martini - yum! We got the Beef Tartar and Fine Herbs Pappardelle dish which had crab meat in it and boy it was so delicious I had to tell her to shut up and take a bite lol. Afterwards the chef brought out two rich chocolate hazelnut truffles for us and those were yummy too! We were greeted by all the workers, and they were very pleasant! We are definitely going back here!

Easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle. The food is unique and inspired without being pretentious. Staff is friendly and personable, creating memorable experiences. Do yourself a favor and go, but also sign up for their email list, as they do special dinners and brunches here and there outside of normal hours.

I came across this place by pure chance, and was intrigued by the unanimously positive reviews. With that, as soon as the opportunity came up, I had to check it out, and this place quite lived up to its high praise. From the elegant space with a large open kitchen and open brick walls, to the beautiful and delicious food (both the lobster tajarin and the citrus pavlova were exquisite), to the excellence service, it was all a 5 out of 5 experience.
