    The food on our visit of December 2 was outstanding. Appetizers that could easily have been a swing and a miss due to too much vinegar or spice were right on the money. The pork sausages were cooked perfectly, and the cauliflower accompanying the sausages was delicious, and different from the cauliflower in the pickle appetizer. Although the pizza with potato seemed, on paper, to be a lot of starch, it was tempered by the chili sprinkled on the top. Again--completely delicious. The cheese on the oyster mushroom pizza was ethereal. Perfect dinner with friends.

    Food and service continues to be excellent. Our table wasn’t ready right away given another party overstaying their reservation but the hostess sent us over some free bread and burrata for our extra 20 min wait. Made the wait okay!

    The food was excellent and the cleanliness, ambiance was great. However, the service was off. We didn't see our waiter again to order another drink before happy hour ended. It was my 2nd time dining there, the first time the service was outstanding.

    Great food and service. The suggested wine was excellent. The cocktails are top quality and creative without being too esoteric. The preserved lemon in the sausage pizza is an unexpected highlight.

    The salmon was the highest price and worst dish. It was water and a small piece of fish, no taste. Not the level of cuisine expected.

    Food was okay. I definitely expected more from the reviews and architecture. We were sandwiched into a small table, touching elbows with the full tables next to us, but we were told we couldn’t move our table two inches to one side. When we made the reservation, we specified it was our anniversary, but no servers made mention of it. We ordered the oyster mushroom pizza (tasted like lemons and light cheese), and the sausage pizza. Both were 4/10. The only item I would recommend is the tiramisu. The ratio of coffee flavor to cream is perfect. I would not go back for dinner, only for dessert.

    What a contrast between quality of food (high) and quality of service (brusque and indifferent). Even in a busy place (that must have been understaffed), delivery of courses needn't loudly interrupt a customer speaking to a tablemate.

    Food and drinks were exceptional. The concept is marketed as a venue in the spheres, but 75% of the seats have little to no view of the spheres interior. The same caliber of food and drink can be found nearby for 20-30% less. Overall enjoyable, but far from the exceptional experience it's sold to be.

    We came for the restaurant week lunch menu! Service was impeccable though it seemed slightly understaffed in the front at times. The food was only ok (the pizza seemed oddly gummy and undercooked, and the focaccia was oddly sweet, as if it came from the donut shop next door). The bathroom was beautiful: even the hand soap was a complementary color to the decor.

    We really enjoyed this restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and delightful. It is warm in a soft inviting way with a chic feel. I love the soft pink walls in the kitchen. The staff is superb. The food is excellent. Great pizza cooked in a unique way for Seattle. The pizza is served with gold scissors for cutting the pizza. Effective and fun. We enjoyed a great Italian wine which was recommended after we were allowed to taste. Above the restaurant is a botanical garden and the building is unique and artful. Truly a Seattle treasure by a great female chef.

    We really enjoyed this lunch. We were visiting from San Antonio for our 27 year anniversary. We had the Restaurant Week special with the Focaccia bread and Burrata. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was perfect, not too much, not too little. Will definitely revisit here when we come back.

    This place was decent. Wait staff was fantastic. Food was good. But seating was a joke. You will sit on top of the table next to you and you will be apart of their conversation. You will have to squeeze in between tables to sit down. Be aware if you’re a bigger size, this place is not ideal.

    Dinner for two at this first visit. Knowledgeable, attentive and kind service was a standout with a superb chicory salad. Good fried calamari but didn’t hold its crisp. Cocktails and wine were well curated and fairly priced. The pizza was a massive disappointment- neither Roman style nor Sicilian- it was a hybrid that seemed underproofed and over baked. Would not order pizza again here and it is likely the worst value on the menu (but the ad photo looked so good). Tiramisu was a wreck - most crème and espresso that made a soup. I’ll try this place again but entrees will need to sing at their price point.

    The experience was great as this restaurant is inside the google bubble. But the must important part was how gracious the waiter who served us was, patiently answering our questions so he was able to suggest the most fitting wine for the experience.

    We frequent this place and typically give it a 5 stars. However service was so terrible this time I simply couldn’t even stretch a “4 star”. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that this server was a “one off”. But food is so good I will be back.

    The ambiance was fantastic, the food was delicious, and our server could not have been more wonderful. She gave us great recommendations (the squash blossoms with peppered crema, tomato salad, and the desserts were amazing, all chosen based on her recommendations). It was a highlight of Seattle.

    I didn't care for the food at all. I ordered the squash blossoms - the sauce overpowered what taste you could glean from the very fried squash blossoms. I also ordered the Billy's Tomato Pizza, which was pretty terrible. It was soggy, yet tough bread with tasteless tomatoes on it. I only ate it because I was starving. I love the ambiance, but I won't be back to dine. Just drinks!

    Our appetizer was prosciutto. It was literally six slices of prosciutto thrown on a plate and drown in olive oil. It wasn’t baked or seasoned in any way. It looked like something my five year old grandson would have served us. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo. Then the pizza came out and it too was drowning in olive oil. The bottom crust was so tough it could not be cut with the knife provided. Though they were slow enough that we witnessed our server leaning on the counter chatting with other servers, she failed to check on us or offer refills on our drinks. We had to call her over to request a refill. And her tone was always one of superiority and disdain masked in dripping politeness. The setting is lovely, but it was quite loud in there just from patron conversation. The tables are very close together. My husband and I were unable to have a quiet conversation due to the noise level. Very pricey. Would not recommend.

    Nice location, good service, fun decor, but very overpriced for the portions and quality of food. However, we went to eat in Amazon Dome so mission accomplished. I am sure rent for this restaurant is huge and very few seats.

    The best thing about the evening was the staff. We had a wonderful server who was training a lovely woman. Nicc was so helpful in letting me leave a card number so a bill wouldn't come to our table. State of the art customer service! It was loud but we were with a couple of 20 somethings and they didn't mind. The bread was out of this world - some of the pizzas were a little funky. I think a more standard kind on the menu would be good, too. Plus, they couldn't make my friend a vodka and cranberry. What bar doesn't carry cranberry juice? I am a non-drinker and my go to is club soda, cranberry with lime. Hands down - I would definitely go back just because they are so nice here, the focaccia bread is like no other and it is fun eating in the sphere.
