The portion sizes are preposterously large and our waitress failed to warn us we were over-ordering. Muscles we the best though…

I went there to celebrate my birthday with my family. It was our first time there and didn’t know what to expect. We made reservations and were seated as soon as we arrived. We ordered the tomahawk steak to share and it was more than enough. It came with lots of potatoes and the steak was perfectly cooked. Yum yum. Highly recommended.

One of the best meals we've ever had both in Seattle and in general! Everything we had was amazing from appetize, to drinks, to dinner, and dessert. The service was top notch, personable, and incredibly thoughtful. Brought my partner here for his birthday dinner because he's wanted to try more Japanese whiskey and being able to consult with their expert and have a custom flight built around his tastes was more than I ever could've expected. Might be our favorite restaurant in Seattle now!

Great food and fantastic service. Our waitress went above and beyond, what we expected. We had forgotten one of our take-home bags. While walking about a block away from the restaurant, we saw her sprinting down the sidewalk with our bag. That was pretty spectacular!

Positives, everything we had was delicious. The staff was working really hard and were helpful and fast. They were out of a main dish which was surprising because it was one of the first dinner seatings on a Friday. When you only have 5 or 6 main dishes that’s disappointing. Their ribeye steak is 40 oz so basically the entire table would have to order this. Seems like you could offer a rib cut for one person if you’re advertised as a steak house. Prices higher than most Ballard restaurants. I Will go back as food was very good.
