Restaurants near Shilshole Bay Marina

This is our first visit since the advent of the Kraken Hockey Team in Seattle and the place was hopping. Service was awesome even though it was super busy and loud. In about 45 minutes people left for the game and it was much less crowded and noise level much lower. Food was excellent and ambiance our favorite in Seattle. We will return but not on a game night.

The ambiance and service were outstanding. The menu is well-developed and interesting. Some of the food like the burrata appetizer and the bolognese was excellent. We found the mushroom risotto and the beef short rib to be overly salty. Great drinks as well!

Really good food and excellent service. Our server made very good suggestions which was important since this was our first visit. The only small knock is the cocktail menu. My drink was smallish and just didn’t measure up to the rest of the experience. We had read about the chicken thigh starter and it really was delightful. So was the mushroom side dish. Bang on good. The pork belly was fatty but I think that it was supposed to be. We’ll certainly return.

Palisade is the best! I look forward to taking going here with my family every time I’m in Seattle. The food is prepared perfectly! We had 3 different seafood dishes and each one was perfectly done- moist, flakey, and with great flavors that complimented each fish (that would be black cod, king salmon, and Chilean sea bass). Service is attentive without being intrusive. Brian saw to it that from water to dessert, we were satisfied. Music started to get too loud to talk, but the manager remedied that quickly. We were then able to enjoy conversation and the live music. With the view of the marina and downtown Seattle plus all of good food and service, we are always satisfied.

Food and service were top-notch. The restaurant has high-ceilings and an open kitchen so it’s a bit noisy, but not so much that you have to shout at your table. Try the grits!
