Usually better. We ordered a salad that had 4 ingredients and 1 was missing. Steak Frites were not hot. Otherwise was fine and they comped us a dessert. We will be back but they were off their game that evening

I've been meaning to eat here for some time and it did not disappoint. We shared four dishes and each were spot on - duck drums, kale salad, squash soup, black cod. It was the right amount of food for two and the cocktails were delicious also.

Each time you dine at L’Oursin, it is better than the meal you’ve had there before. The crazy thing is, the first meal I had there was one of my best in Seattle and I’ve been back many times since. In fact, I tell everyone to go there. The service is if the highest class and care without feeling formal. The food is insanely good, and the beverages somehow magically uplift the entire experience altogether.
