   A + food, service and ambience. Pacific Northwest seafood highlighted. Delicious food prepared in creative ways yet keeps in mind the taste and body of truly fresh seafood. There are other delicious items other than seafood on the menu as well.

   Nice service, but the seafood is nothing special and very expensive

   The crab rolls were excellent, hanger steak hash was very good, crab Benedict had a too thin smattering of crab, eggs were perfectly cooked. All four dishes were 50% to 80% potatoes, one form or another of deep fried hand cut potatoes or hand made potato patties. I expected something a lot more interesting for the price. Half the plate is potatoes… Really? Maybe at a burger joint, but here? Service overall was very good, but both server and restaurant were less certain about the presence of gluten than many PNW restaurants are these days.

   We went on Monday evening, President's Day. The restaurant was almost empty. I had been there 3 times previously and now found that the menu was skimpy and devoid of many items. Our server was first rate. but my steamed claims, although tasty, were few in number and served upon a huge bed of bread. I have seen this with other restaurants and sense the smell of impending closure.

   Food was decent but server wasn’t very attentive. The host had to keep jumping in to help when she forgot something for our order which we appreciated. Not good enough to go back though.

    Great fresh seafood dishes right next to Pike Place Market, and accommodating of larger groups.
