Approachable sophisticated Pacific Northwest cuisine, simply prepared using the finest regional ingredients and served in a dining room with maritime-inspired design and sweeping views of Elliott Bay.

Goldfinch Tavern is a collaboration between Ethan Stowell and Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. Named for the state bird of Washington, the American Goldfinch.

About Domaine Drouhin Wine Poised atop the Dundee Hills, with gentle slopes that capture the breezes and sunshine, the 235-acre estate overlooking the Willamette Valley produces some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit in the world. Once the grapes have reached full maturity with a perfect balance between brix and acid, fruit and tannin, they are hand-picked into small totes, insuring the arrival of pristine, uncrushed fruit. Everything we do in the winery is intended to preserve the unique qualities that nature provided for us in the vineyards.

    We travel to Seattle 2-4 times a year and Goldfinch is a must do on each trip. Competent attentive service, superb food, great view. Nice to go to a restaurant where we can actually hear ourselves talk. It's pricy, but quality costs.

    First visit impresions: great location (esp if doing pre-event dinner) but plan accordingly to get/park here, esp if not familiar with downtown Seattle (check Seattle events, traffic, parking options, etc) Valet parking/hotel parking was full when we arrived, threw kink in plans. Food and drinks overall good to great, prices what you'd expect for a E-Stowell restaurant in a Four Seasons hotel (with waterfront view.) Service very good, end to end, great attentive server and expeditors who were hustling but not stressed. Didn't mind the auto-service charge (20%) but would have liked to have known before bill came. Our table was right next to bar, in future would ask for table away from bar unless you don't mind hearing convos. Also advise asking for table further away from "open entrance" to restaurant, unless you don't mind seeing foot traffic of people coming/going in and out of hotel for various events (we had view of front desk activity from our table.) Wouldn't be my first choice for an Ethan Stowell Seattle restaurant, but if you have a Seattle event that evening in the area, solid option. Or a meet-up at slick but not over the top bar for drink/light fare beforehand. Overall a good-very good experience and I'd recommend trying, esp on a sunny evening.

    We were here for a birthday dinner for my girlfriend and had a great time. She had the salmon which was excellent and I had the nettle risotto which was good. The service was excellent and we enjoyed our meal. They brought out a special birthday dessert which my girlfriend really enjoyed.

    The service was well timed and timely, kind, thorough, personable and professional, but not stuffy. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, tempered perfectly and balanced with all the most exquisite flavor. Highly recommended for anyone wanting Pacific Northwest fare with an elevated twist. The cocktails were delicious too!

    Goldfinch is the spot for brunch. Their bottomless mimosas are a great value as is the 3 course menu. Such a refreshing change to other brunch spots in the city.

    This restaurant is ideal for any meal, however, dinner service includes music. The service is outstanding, as is the extensive wine list by the glass. Plenty of options if you prefer bubbles, white, rose’, or red. The menu has a variety of options for any taste and appetite. Chef is happy to make any needed adjustments and is super sensitive to food allergies! Don’t miss this gem.

Food was fabulous, pricy but was expected. 3 of us ordered & shared family style the clams & mussels, halibut w/ asparagus & peas, pork chops w/ Mac & cheese and burger & fries. (half the clams & 1/2 the burger went home). We were all pleasantly please & full. Atmosphere, service & view were all good too!
