We’ve only had great experiences, bringing friends and family before we attend Kraken hockey games. Both the gumbo and jambalaya are second to none…. Will keep coming back for more.

We had a good New Year Day dinner in the restaurant as a family of seven. The ambience is excellent particularly with the life music and the view of the Seattle downtown. The service is excellent particularly with our server Brian. The food is good.

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.
