Omakase experience was excellent Matt our chef was great to talk to throughout the experience. The sushi was outstanding. We also got to pick the brains of another chef as well as ours for local hot spots in the city.

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.

Great format by John Howie. Food was excellent and the bar is fascinating as it has everything. The menu has everything from great appetizers to amazing steaks. The service was attentive and he had great recommendations. They need to align their online menu with the actual menu as some items weren’t available as we might have thought when we went through it all.

Absolutely loved our experience at 84 Yesler! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food was outstanding, each dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. What really sets this place apart, though, is the ambiance. It’s warm, stylish, and completely unique—easily one of the best dining atmospheres in the city. Highly recommend for a memorable night out! We were lucky enough to meet the owner - an absolute gem of the human! Will go back anytime!
