                                                    The food is nice. The profiteroles were unique and delicious. Loved the orange juice. Cooked part of baked eggs was nice but was too runny which didn't taste good.

                                                    Always such a relaxing and delicious experience! We think Tilikum Place is such a classic Seattle restaurant. Everything is so great, especially the roasted chicken, the French Onion soup and celeriac and Asian pear salad. And the dining room is comfortable and not too noisy and the service always very professional and inviting. Tilikum Place Cafe never disappoints!

                                                    Second time visiting and it was delicious as the first time. I enjoy the rotating Dutch baby recipes to try something new.
