- OTOpenTable DinerSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined todayDinner reservation for a birthday. Our reservation was on the earlier side, 5:30, and it was a phenomenal experience. Restaurant was busy, but tables available. A very nice atmosphere, active but comfortable, perfect for anything from casual family dinner to dress to impress date night. It was a Saturday night, but we were blown away by how fast our orders came out, and the quality was nothing less than exceptional. The service was top notch, not just from our server, but the staff as a whole seemed to stay aware and responsive of all the customers. Can’t wait to return!More infoDisottoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Highwood•4.6
