Absolutely loved our experience at 84 Yesler! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food was outstanding, each dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What really sets this place apart, though, is the ambiance. It’s warm, stylish, and completely unique—easily one of the best dining atmospheres in the city. Highly recommend for a memorable night out! We were lucky enough to meet the owner - an absolute gem of the human! Will go back anytime!
