Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Capitol Hill / First Hill

Great food, cocktails, and service! This place has a cool yet welcoming vibe.

The food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!

Food was fantastic but our server, Luke, was overworked and overlooked our table multiple times. Seemed to be more attentive to others. My mom ordered pasta and asked for a side of focaccia. Never came. Even after asking the runner, our server, and again our server who told us that it should be out any minute (even after about 20 minutes in between). The pizza and pasta was outstanding and my salmon burger was also great. Could have had a bit more flavor as the avocado was just that as well as really no seasoning on the salmon. Huge portions. Being a former server, Luke needed to have less tables. Lastly, my mom wanted a receipt, which apparently was pressed, but was never delivered from our server. She asked at the front to no avail. Overall, food was great but I would try a lunch rather than dinner time due to the amount of people and lack of servers.

We had a great dinner. It was easy, fun and delicious. Recommend!

Brunch here is always good! The bacon is some of the best in Seattle. Portions are large...so plan accordingly. It's lively the way any good diner should be.
