Tried to pick a place for dinner and was not sure where to go. Read the menu and just thought yeah let's try it, why not.... Something new. For the love of God...if you have not been here you must come try it. Salad and fried cauliflower to start youwill not be disappointed. The main course, salmon, we devoured the plate in less than 10 minutes it was SO good, SO GOOD! Theenvironment makes it even better. The din lights, music, staff. WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! EXPERIENCE! Great selection ofspirits! Nothing disappointed. Saved this as a favorite as we WILL be coming back again. Hands down one of the best we have hadin Seattle. For sure. Read more
Overall I had a positive experience with good service when I came here with some girlfriends. Standouts were the clams (huge... portion for an appetizer, but delicious) and the mushroom risotto. We were excited for the tagliatelle but when we took a bite,it was so ridiculously salty that we had to send it back! (And I never send things back!!) To be completely honest I think itwas a random mistake of the chef due to the massive amounts of salt flakes you could see on the pasta (see pic posted? maybe itaccidentally got dumped on the dish at the end?)?. Regardless the server took it back and comp?d it for us without questionwhich we appreciated. I liked the food, but it seems just like another pricey ?PNW fare? type of restaurant that didn?t have aspecific reason to come back for me. I?m glad I went once to try it, but probably will try somewhere new next time. Read more
Tommy runs, hands down, one of the best restaurants in Seattle. The experience is like having dinner and drinks with an old... friend from the moment you walk in. All of the staff are caring and personal. Not to mention, that there are a very small numberof whiskeys that the Cut has NOT collected. If anyone ever asks for a restaurant rec, I?m sending them here. Read more
Great food, great service, insane spirits on offer, modest wine list. Only negative is pumping too loud music. They could have a... more subdued playlist without interfering with the vibe, and you would be able to enjoy the conversation with your dinner mates. Read more
Exceptional eatery in the heart of Ballard. The staff are incredibly warm, the menu is diverse and the bar selection is second... to none in the greater seattle area. The salmon is without question the best I?ve ever eaten at a restaurant. I don?t eat porkchops but wow was I close to ordering one just because. The flank steak is out of this world and the tomahawk could serve a fewsmall families. The owners care deeply and pay attention to details. Prices are beyond reasonable for what you get and theservice is good too! Read more
This place is fantastic! Friendly staff, AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS food, good drinks, and the external area was cozy and comfortable... even when it was freezing outside. We ordered the Linguini, octopus and pork belly and we still can't decide which one was thebest dish. Everything was absolutely perfect. It's a little pricey though, but a great option for special occasions. As usual,parking on the premises is always trick, so plan ahead just in case. We had a great time and I wish you have a wonderful timethere too. Read more
I was here based on my colleagues recommendation. It looks like a small village when you come to this area. Something completely... different from the city. I made a reservation for myself and my friend and we reached here before our reservation time. We weregiven an option to sit outside otherwise they can keep our table by the time it's our reservation time. It was windy and chillyso we decided we would walk around and come later. As I said it's a small village because most of the stores were closed at 7 pmon a Friday evening. We walked around and chatted standing there until we were called to be seated. It's a small place not muchof a seating area inside but they have extended outside seating. I'm sure it will be good on a sunny day. As soon we were seatedwe were served water with a menu card. We ordered appetizers such as Thai chicken wings and I asked for a green tea with lemonand honey. We were busy talking and the place was crowded, it was very loud and there was music played as well. A perfect Fridayvibe. One thing about this place, the food is Michelin kind and the ambience is that of a sports bar. Anyway expect delaybecause it's a bit laid back as we got our appetizer late and when we got we got our main course as well. The server apologizedand we also didn't say much. It tasted good too. The server who served us was nice and courteous. Overall I had a goodexperience. Loved their whiskey bar. I was pretty sure there's a story behind that whiskey bar and someone very passionate aboutit as well who must be managing it. Since it was crowded I didn't get a chance to interact with the bar attendant otherwise Iwanted to ask about Rum ????. I will definitely go here next time but day time as the lights are very dim. If you're in townplease visit this place as the people in the kitchen are really passionate about what they do. Read more
