    Do not sleep on this wonderful Seattle restaurant. This prefectly sized restaurant serves some of the best food I have had with service that is friendly, professional, and on point. The Foie Gras is on my mind for days after my meal every time and there is always a wonderful entree list to choose from. This visit, the lamb loin was spectacular. A very quick ride from downtown, this is my must visit whenever I am here.

    This was our first time here, but it won’t be our last. Relaxing atmosphere and great food. The white anchovies and fois gras were especially delicious. We also really enjoyed the butternut squash risotto. They warned us that it would be a 35 minute wait because they make the risotto to order. Well worth the wait.

    My favorite restaurant in Seattle. Small & delicious, the attention to every detail in every recipe is evident. This is one of the places I take my visitors to- quietly elegant and homey it truly feels like you are dining in Europe. Always lovely hospitality.

    Wonderful evening with friends. We started with 4 appetizers, each dazzling. The main courses were very well received by our guests. The cocktails were delicious. The service very attentive and knowledgeable. We would recommend!

    We’ve been here before, food is always great. I’m always disappointed in the bar and the mixologist and we tend to grab a drink before heading for food. Great food, always noisy, poor bar. We go here for their food, you can find better ambience elsewhere.
