Incredible food! We got reservations weeks in advance but had a last minute change and they were very accommodating. We were even seated early when we arrived. Ordered the Dutch baby, tilikum fry up and breakfast plate and every one of the dishes were delicious. The entrees were plenty big portions and we ended up having leftovers! The drinks were fantastic too, we had a mimosa and their limoncello drink and loved them both. Seemed like quite the in demand place for such a small shop, but we still didn’t feel crowded in there. Highly recommend!

We live in NY and make it a priority to visit the Pink Door when in Seattle. The food is absolutely delicious and always consistent. Book reservations early as it can be difficult to get a table.
