    We had an attentive waitress who was knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. The noise was a little bothersome at first but there was great energy in the place so it’s a trade off I could get past. The food was excellent. The cocktail was delicious. I highly recommend taking an Uber/Lyft. The parking on the side streets on a Friday night was maddening. The dining experience was worth it though. I will definitely go again.

    The Chilean Seabass and hamachi crudo are 10/10 , the cocktails are great, and service is always excellent. The desserts are the only thing that could use some work- I have tried them all and they are in the 5/6 out of 10 range for me.

    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.

    I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!

    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!
