This is the best food in Seattle. The flavour layering, creativity and use of seasonal ingredients is outstanding. The staff are so knowledgable. In the U.K. this would have Michelin Stars! Great wine list with affordable options. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    From start to finish, this was an exceptional dining experience. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed. Every dish was a masterpiece in flavor and presentation. The kitchen delivered perfection from the first bite to dessert. This isn't just a place to get dinner; it’s a destination for an experience. Between the unmatched hospitality and the spectacular execution from the kitchen, it was a flawless evening. I cannot recommend it highly enough and looking forward to my next visit.
