- JJudithSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis is one legendary restaurant that lives up to its legend. The food is out of this world. The service is brilliant. The room with a view is spectacular and the room in the lounge is cozy. This is a go-to place for special occasions. Thank you to Jackie, Jeannie and the whole staff who greeted us and our special guest so warmly.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8
- WWendySeattle / Eastern Washington •56 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThis 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.More infoToulouse Petit Kitchen & LoungePrice: Moderate• American• Queen Anne•4.6
- DDoloresvipLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024Music plays under conversation volume so it was easy to talk during dinner. Food and service is absolutely superb. Everything is fresh and perfectly cooked. My mother needs to watch salt intake, which is no problem here. Each dish is seasoned with herbs, spices, olive oil and just enough salt to bring out the fresh flavors. Even so, the staff said they would have also prepared a fresh tomato sauce without salt if we needed it. What a find! Lovely food, service, and ambience! We are coming back!More infoMondello Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Moderate• Italian• Magnolia•4.9
- DDoloresvipLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 13, 2024Palisade 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.More infoPalisadePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Magnolia•4.4
