    Highly recommend the roof deck if the weather is good, it’s beautiful. Our food was excellent, particularly the trout and the clams and mussels. Server was great, even though he was running his tail off all evening.

    I love this place. The food is imaginative and well prepared. The staff is friendly and both inside in the winter or upstairs in the summer is awesome. $16 for the street corn seemed a little insane but I have to say it was the best damn street corn I’ve ever had! My only problem is this ridiculous business of going through OpenTable and getting so many emails to verify and having to set up an account just seems like there should be an alternative that you could just make a reservation as a human. Don’t mind making a deposit I get that but Even the hassle to write this review you have to get a text. Enough on the technology I’m just there for the good food! And lovely setting. Thank you.

    We booked for our anniversary 10 days before and the the rooftop was already unavailable. The restaurant contacted us two days before to say they now had an opening if would like to change our Rez. We did and it was a lovely summer night, every staff member we came in contact with wished us a Happy Anniversary and they had a special menu printed with our names on it. Our server Kat was an absolute delight, as was the delicious food. Tamara’s vision lives on.

    It’s become a cliche to say that they treat you like family. They don’t do that here. They treat you better. The care with which we were greeted, served, and taken care of was unlike any other restaurant I’ve been to. The food was innovative creative and beautifully cooked. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Their slogan is food is love. They delivered.

    We visited Seattle recently and this was the best meal of our trip. Food prepared with passionate attention to freshness and flavor, complex and subtle, conveying both elegance and abundance. I appreciated the kitchen's sensitivity to my gluten intolerance as well. The lamb riblets are a knockout -- don't miss them.

    Every dish has unusual ingredients that I never have in my kitchen. The chef is wonderfully creative. We all loved the the five or six items we shared and enjoyed spending the warm summer evening on the open-air rooftop. We were never rushed and savored the time with friends and the delicious food. Definitely will return.

    Dining al frescoe on this rooftop garden in the middle of Cap Hill is epic! They really went above and beyond, asking me for the name of my dinner companion and then created a menu welcoming her to Seattle! The food is beautifully presented, very tasty and portions are on the large size but not overdone…sharing is expected so choose based on that. Tamara would be so proud…this team is friendly, professional and beyond talented 🙏🏻

    This is a great spot and Paella night is always a good time. My only complain is that we were really rushed to leave our table towards the end of our meal. The waiter even removed our unfinished bottle of Cava. It would have been less irritating if the waiter gave us a heads up on our remaining time 10 minutes prior rather than hovering and whisking our plates away almost immediately after saying there was another party waiting to be seated. I’ve been to this restaurant before and this was the first time I’ve had a negative experience.

    Had a delightful Sunday brunch on the rooftop. Beautiful day but also great service and excellent food made for an enjoyable couple of hours. Four of our party of five had never been but all will be back soon!
