Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Columbia City

For starters we had their Hamachi and chanterelle mushroom soup.. and for main courses the black cod and the squab (which is basically a pigeon)… both didn’t disappoint. When it came time for dessert we settled on the crème brule cake and the hibiscus red wine poached pear… that’s when our tastes buds just exploded… wow wow wow… props to their chefs… definitely coming again.

A classic that still holds up. Service great (Nadia). Cocktails good. Ambiance laid back cool. Food terrific. Pike Place Market. We’ve been several times over the years and always enjoy coming back (including tonight).

This place is incredible - everyone must go! Every single member of the staff who I passed upon entry welcomed me in warmly. I was a little early for my reservation and enjoyed a drink at the bar with the super kind and knowledgeable bartender. Someone came and got me when it was time for the omakase experience, moved me to my place setting at the quaint counter seamlessly, carrying my beverage for me. I inquired about tip as I did not want the bartender to miss out and was informed they operate with a tip pool. I was solo and was seated next to another solo diner and we had wonderful conversation and got to enjoy the experience together. The chefs were so kind and talented, each bite was incredible and made with such high quality ingredients. As a former fine dining server and restaurant manager I was in love and blown away by the service. I could tell everyone who took care of me was happy to be there, and that means a lot when you shell out for this kind of thing. It felt warm and luxurious the entire time. My plate and place setting were crumbed/wiped down as necessary, every item was described in detail, I could go on and on. I am SO happy I found this place and had this experience. THANK YOU!!!

Wonderful interior, attentive wait staff, delicious food. My work team has visited previously and loved it so much we returned again. On the recent visit 1 of the dishes was too salty for us and the waitress was quick to remove it from our bill and get a replacement dish ordered for us. My work team plans to visit again as overall Mint Progressive is a crowd pleaser.

The food and service are outstanding! If you're looking for a night out with your partner, this is a great place for both great food and great entertainment.
