    My husband and I wanted a quiet place to eat, and the staff took us to a table on a small patio. We had it to ourselves. Beautiful setting, terrific staff, and outstanding food.

    One of the best dining experiences in Seattle. Food was incredible. Wine pairing is a must. The sommelier shares about each wine and it is phenomenally suited to the food. The staff was brilliant and kind and generous.
