Always love visiting. Food is incredible and the service is always top notch. Feels almost comforting and old school -- genuine kindness and hospitality. Wish food was a little more affordable, but the prices are on par with the rest of Seattle, so it's not the restaurant's fault.

Everything that we ordered was delicious. Some of the favorites were the crab quiche and the cassoulet. The creme Brule and chocolate mouse were the dessert standouts. Would go back again without a doubt.

Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.
