Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Leschi / Madrona / Madison Park

Great drinks (Martinis)l Food and Service - sat in the bar, really liked the ambiance - looked like several health care staff get togethers for drinks after work from nearby hospitals , so nice to see people socializing.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Haerfest, from the delish pastas, to the best martini I’ve ever had, to the entire staff making us feel welcomed and ready to have us feast. If you haven’t had the opportunity to go yet, you’re missing out on the best new restaurant in Seattle. What a gem! And a 10 o’clock reservation in this city?!? 10/10. Will absolutely be back

Great little restaurant in downtown Kirkland. The service and food are great ! The entire staff touches in with you to make sure all is terrific. Worth going - !

Overall, the experience was positive. The food was undeniably good. Great options and good veggie options. For a slow night, the bar was oddly slow - food timing was pretty good. Service in general was fine. An unfortunate thing was that we made a reservation and with a half full restaurant, clearly with mostly walk-ins, they gave us a crappy, dark table in the back. There were empty tables in the sunny front portion. Maybe just a pet peeve when restaurants don’t give priority seating to their pre-bookings but it seems obvious to me.

The two pizzas we tried were delicious. Everyone in the restaurant seems to be enjoying themselves. The staff were attentive and fun.
