    The service was very good. I enjoyed the ambiance and decorations for Wicked. Unfortunately, the food was less than stellar. My burger was very greasy, messy and incredibly over salted to the point of being almost inedible. If we didn’t have to leave for the show then I would’ve sent the food back. Great locator a Paramount show.

    Our first time at Wild Ginger. The service was top notch from the time we were seated until saying goodbye at the end of our visit. Amazing food and generous portions. The restaurant was beautiful and cozy. This was a great Seattle experience.

    This place is incredible - everyone must go! Every single member of the staff who I passed upon entry welcomed me in warmly. I was a little early for my reservation and enjoyed a drink at the bar with the super kind and knowledgeable bartender. Someone came and got me when it was time for the omakase experience, moved me to my place setting at the quaint counter seamlessly, carrying my beverage for me. I inquired about tip as I did not want the bartender to miss out and was informed they operate with a tip pool. I was solo and was seated next to another solo diner and we had wonderful conversation and got to enjoy the experience together. The chefs were so kind and talented, each bite was incredible and made with such high quality ingredients. As a former fine dining server and restaurant manager I was in love and blown away by the service. I could tell everyone who took care of me was happy to be there, and that means a lot when you shell out for this kind of thing. It felt warm and luxurious the entire time. My plate and place setting were crumbed/wiped down as necessary, every item was described in detail, I could go on and on. I am SO happy I found this place and had this experience. THANK YOU!!!

    I had the pork chop which was great. Sides: mushrooms (great), carrots (not great, tastes if grill char) and fries (so-so, since they were battered). Service and ambiance were great. Would recommend just steer clear of the carrots.
