Reviews for L'Oursin in Seattle, WA
Every item we ordered was better than the one before it! Imaginative cocktails, amazing food, delicious wine, best creme brûlee... of my life, easily comparable to some of the best food I've had in Paris! Read more
It was an absolute treat to experience their foudne on the patio! The service was amazing, the spread was well thought out. I... honestly can't get over that pot of melted cheese couple with the spiced wine. We took home dessert and pasta from the marketfor the next day. The sauce was more than expected. I look forward to going back when the full menu is available! Read more
Inside of L'Oursin, is a place called Old Scratch. It has delicious food, between chicken, tofu, brisket and burgers - it's... totally worth trying them out. Although the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, it's packed with great tastes. Theyalso allow cocktails for delivery, with a few being pretty good. A little pricey once again, with small portion sizes, but yougotta try it since it's a great way right now to get things delivered. Double Smash Burger is amazing, and their chicken is doneright.

The burger special at the bar is fantastic. Don't skimp, treat yourself to the duck fat fries, too. Quick, delightfully friendly... service, delicious food, and excellent cocktails, as well as a well-curated list of wines by the glass. Read more
The front of the house was outstanding. The decor manages to emulate the dingy, smoke covered walls of Paris without the smoke... smell. The food was well done, but didn't raise the bar compared to L?k which isn't too much further away. Read more
Classic French bistro style eatery with the comfortable feel and eats taking on a PNW edge to it. This Seattle classic has been... serving great food for years now and finally got around to give it a try. We surveyed the tasting menu, which was good. Inretrospect, this was good, but the overall experience may have been better if we tried the a la carte menu. Favorites were thehome made tagliatelle with geoduck that was cooked so delicately it was reminiscent of pork belly and paired with capers brownbutter and crunchy breadcrumbs to add texture. The combination cod and braised oxtail was so interesting and promising, but fellflat with over cooked cod. The classics charcuterie plate was so good, I could come back for wine and meats any day. Overall adefinite must try in Seattle. Will be back for a la carte food and drinks with bar food. Read more
L'Oursin offers an elevate dining experience in a rather simple and down-to-the-earth space. There is nothing particularly... striking about the menu, but all the dishes I tried turned out remarkably good. The attention to details that you can find aMichelin-starred restaurant paired with a creative approach to the menu surpassed my expectations, big time. A note on the blacksea bass – it was, possibly, the best white fish I tried so far, grilled to perfection, with plenty of juices captured and atender charred skin. A definite must-go place in Seattle. Read more
Super bummed because we were excited to finally be able to have a date night and heard great things. We arrived to our... reservation to find a nearly empty restaurant where they proceeded to sit us in a corner. With it being so hot we asked if wecould be moved to one of many available 2-tops that may have a breeze. Our server proceeded to tell us it wasn't possiblebecause of future reservations. Couldn't we just switch tables with them? It was hard not to conclude that our POC status wasn'trelevant considering we were the only ones there. The restaurant was only about 50% full the entire duration of our visit aswell, including our two adjacent 2-tops. Otherwise the food was fine. Skip the salmon dip stuffed puff pastry, prawns werealright, the ling cod was very bland, but the duck was really good. Food can be off any given day, especially when it's so hotout we understand that kitchen conditions drastically change. I would've given the food another chance if the service experiencewas good.
