I've been in Michelin starred restaurants that aren't as exceptional. Service is outstanding, the sommelier knowledge and flexibility top-notch, and the food incredible. You won't necessarily be 'stuffed' at the end but that's not why you visit a place like this. Fantastic for special occasions. Bonus, the car valets are courteous and careful.

We celebrated a birthday and were so impressed with the outstanding service we received. We had a drink at the bar while waiting for a member of our party. The bartender was so professional and friendly. When we were seated, a birthday card and decorations were on the table. Our server, Maddie, called my husband by name to wish him a happy birthday! She was exceptional the entire evening and made our experience so memorable. The food was delicious and the ambience is elegant and perfect for a celebration. We were extremely satisfied with every detail. The birthday dessert plate was amazing, with a candle to boot. It was a perfect birthday celebration. A shout out to Maddie, our server extraordinaire!! Thank you!

Highly recommend Muckleshoot Casino’s “Market 253 Seafood House & Raw Bar” for anyone who appreciates flavorful food. We had the Crab Crusted Sirloin and the Miso-Glazed Salmon. It was obvious quality and presentation were the restaurant’s top priority; food was delish, service was great, too and our overall dining experience reflected that. Something to keep in mind - the pace of service is more leisurely, which might not be ideal for guests who are in a rush to get back to the casino floor. But if you have the time to relax and enjoy, it’s absolutely worth the wait.
