"Our server Justice was awesome; super friendly, brought us wine samples when we were torn without even having to ask, and checked in on us often. Food and wine were also great - the pesto was our favorite, and the Columbia Valley cab sav they had on the 2/45 menu was excellent. We will definitely be back!"

"I walked into the restaurant and the volume was incredibly loud so I asked the host for a different table because I’d like to be able to hear her better and have space for more private conversation, however I was told no even though the table was available the entire time we were there. The volume was incredibly loud to where I could barely hear my girlfriend talk. I’ve been to this location a few times and the food is generally good. The upstairs space is much better than the long communal table in the middle of the main floor. The servers I’ve had have been great."

"It is our first time at this restaurant. The staff and service were amazing! We got to sit upstairs and watch the chefs do their magic. It was really fun to watch. The food was awesome. Pastas were cooked al dente and both appetizer and dessert were wonderful. The portion of the pasta is big so it took awhile to finish a plate. Also, they are moving away from tipping and charge 22% service gratuity into the bill so it is up to you if you want to tip. I'd love to come back here again to try out something else in the menu."

"I don’t really give low ratings but this is a bit too disappointing. My boy and I booked their V-day tasting menu. The reception lady was lovely so we thought it’s gonna be a great night. But no, the first four shared appetizers were either too salty or plain. The lettuce in the salad was not fresh. It’s like you left your lettuce in the refrigerator for more than 5 days and they turned a bit red on the cut side. That’s what it was. Then the pasta came, my boy got the Rigatoni and I got conchiglie. Again, they were very salty. We had to have a lot of water just to get it down. Then our table got cleaned and we waited for 25min for our server to come and check in for desserts. But we didn’t even get our Entree yet. So they went back to the kitchen and got them out after 10min. By then we were pretty full as the water + food expanded and took all the space in our stomach. The steak was just okay. Maybe we were too full to taste anything. The desserts were fine. We got the truffle chocolate and the tart. All good. Our server was nice and waived our drinks for the night. But still, I’d recommend the restaurant to be more mindful of the food quality and service whenever they have a busy night, especially when it’s V-day or holidays. Not worth the $95 + 22% fixed gratuities for the V-day menu. Will never come back. If you happen to read this review, please consider picking another restaurant for your date."

"My husband and I decided to go here last minute for dinner last night and the food was AMAZING! He had the steak and I had the halibut. Wow! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the Seattle area. Our server Christine was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable! Be sure to ask for Christine when you go! Thanks again!"
