- GGailSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoArrived from Idaho, Oregon and Bellingham to celebrate a 70th Birthday. Walked right in and sat down for our 5 o’clock reservation for 4. Delicious clam dip and chips starter. Ordered large sea scallops over creamed corn (delicious and just the right amount), seafood salad (also a perfect size, but a tad salty), Muscovy duck and braised short ribs. Both had an alternative sauce because the advertised sauce Dixie Bourguignon wasn’t ready yet and it was an excellent substitution (took some of each home). We received more of the wine we ordered as compensation for the inconvenience and both our server Tea H and the maitred were very apologetic and enjoyable to talk with. Birthday beignets with Bourbon ice cream and sauce (complimentary and plenty for all) and an order of vanilla bean cheese cake we shared also.Thanks for making the celebration so special .I’ve never had a bad time here, totally worth the cost.More infoToulouse Petit Kitchen & LoungePrice: Moderate• American• Queen Anne•4.7

- AAmberVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe visited JOEY on Valentine's Day and it was an amazing experience. The hostess was friendly and helped us quickly. We were offered bubbly immediately upon arrival. Our waitress, Shayla, offered excellent explanations of some of the food options and provided some recommendations, but it was more than just a simple opinion. She would provide reasons for her recommendations which was helpful for us to decide if we felt the same way she did about a specific food item. The service was quick but we didn't feel rushed. Everyone seemed to be helping fill waters and we always had full glasses. The manager came by the table to check on us and wish us a good night. Overall it was a 10/10 experience.More infoJOEY University VillagePrice: Moderate• American• Laurelhurst•4.6
