   Date night during restaurant week. The set menu provided more than we expected. The food was excellent and Steven took great care of us. We felt as if we were the only ones in the place and he took the time to select wine and drink pairings with each course. Well done sir!

   Just another example of poor management that is plaguing this group of restaurants (Vendemia,, Haymaker 1, and now Haymaker 2) On this occasion, the place was totally under staffed and the staff they had were not well trained. WE sat for 30 minutes before getting water. Another 10min before ordering. Wine arrived promptly but Another 25 minutes went by before the first course. Rather than having their full menu, they pulled some lame excuse to have a pre-set 2 course menu. It was economical but the food itself underwhelming. Something you could do at home. Most of the food was luke warm to tepid.

   What a rousing disappointment. Something must have changed from the positive reviews I read. Steak was raw, massively mediocre and expensive and the outrageously priced pasta was so salty as to be inedible. And it lacked any other flavor on top of that. Awful dessert. Mediocre drinks, mediocre burrata and the service was barely existent - save your money. It was genuinely uncomfortable to know how to reply when asked how it was “tasting” 15 min in. - the food was so bad that it was impossible to know what to say or where to start. There are great restaurants in Seattle. This resembles those in price only.

   Everyone greeted us with a smile. Excellent server. Best Negroni ever! Definitely order the pull apart brioche rolls (they are sticky). The Haymaker salad could easily be shared with 4 people. Lovely pasta (after I asked the chef to prepare my tonnarelli a bit more well done he followed through to make certain it was to my liking). We will definitely be making the trip to West Seattle to enjoy this restaurant again.

   The scallops were the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. They were cold and zero flavor, it was truly painful to eat but I was hungry. The service is so incredibly slow and everyone in our 7 person party was not a fan of their meal. The drinks are good, I’ll give them that.

   First visit. Sorry now we didn’t make it sooner! Ordered the fried chicken sliders, Paccheri (pasta bolognese) and the hamburger. The pasta dish was good but the sauce wasn’t to my taste. It tasted kind of winey maybe. It’s a small amount of pasta for the price. The hamburger was superb, if a little bit overcooked and also a bit high in price. That onion jam on it is great and the house cut fries you won’t want to stop eating. The fried chicken sliders (3) were just fantastic and reason alone to return. Service was wonderful.

   Whether you're looking for delicious pasta, hamburger with fries, or oysters in the half shell, Haymaker has you covered. The restaurant is truly a gem of the Alaska Junction in West Seattle.
