   Had a fantastic dining experience. We reserved a table in the dining room but realized the small corner table in the bar was a better fit. Enjoyed the edamame appetizer with fresh baked bread, it was unbelievable. The lamb gnocchi was absolutely delicious, perfect portion, fresh and cooked to perfection. I will return to this hidden gem again soon!

   We love this hotel and restaurant. The cocktails are excellent, the food is great and has interesting and inventive things on the menu prepared with thought and seasonality in mind. They were also so kind to us once when passing through we needed a late meal after a hospital visit. And another time we’re very accommodating with our toddler and newborn. This is very much an elegant adult environment so it’s unusual for them to also be so friendly and family oriented.

   The Madrona is our favorite for special occasions and when we just want a special evening out. The food and the service are always amazing!

   We went up for the High Tea service, which was fun. Service was nice, food was god, tea was good, we did add the additional "Cocktail Pot" -- our choice for that was the Fennel Collins which was fantastic. High tea was served in the side front parlor at small tables for 2, or a low couch for a bit larger party. (I think High Tea is also offered on the front porch--but it was too cold for that at this time.) 3 tiers of savory sandwiches on the bottom, desserts, middle, and miniature scones and cream on the top. Fun.

   Great black rice, burger (but fries were not hot) and gnocchi with lamb. Even greater hot bread and edamame sauce (got another serving). Strange cauliflower tempura - all rolled into a roll and bready.

   No one came to our table for 15 minutes. Had to ask the busboy to get our server. The benches are too low for the tables. The center post is uncomfortable. The noise level was too loud, both people talking and the loud music. Our entrees were delicious. But we were disappointed

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. A delay in service is not the standard we strive for, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better attentiveness moving forward. I also appreciate your comments about the seating and noise level—we take guest comfort seriously and will communicate this with ownership. On a positive note, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your entrees and that your server provided great service. We never want a guest to leave feeling disappointed, and I’d love the opportunity to make things right.

    Food was excellent, as expected. Deep flavors, well prepared. Could have used a few more veggies, but overall a wonderful experience.
