The food was delicious and our server was attentive and very friendly! Great first timers and will be back! The lighting for the outside signage could be better. It was hard to notice when looking for it as walking from parking garage.

My wife, my grown-up daughter, and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Palisade. It was all great: fast service leading us to our table (reserved ahead of time), excellent food, great view of the marina and downtown Seattle, and the food was served at a slow speed so we could enjoy a 2 hour dinner with good conversation. The price was higher than what we usually experience when we go to a restaurant for dinner. However, the price was as expected on a Christmas Eve at a first class restaurant.

This is our second time visiting Messina and it is amazing. The appetizer of Sicilian Meatballs is so flavorful and reminds me of my recent trip to Sicily. The Beet salad is probably my favorite, but I left just a little room for my Short Rib Lasagna. I am going to enjoy that the next day for sure. The sauce is so flavorful, perfection in every bite.
