We loved our experience at Tilikum Place Cafe. The food was delightful and the service was outstanding. Chris, our server, was the perfect blend of charming, funny, and attentive. We’d recommend this spot to anyone!

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful find during our Seattle vacation. I loved the “end of summer salad”. The profiteroles were heavenly. I had the lamb, my husband had the chicken and both were tasty, not overly salted as we have experienced at other restaurants. The ambience was lovely. The waitstaff were real pros with an intimate understanding of the menu. If we lived here, it would be a regular visit to Tilikum.

The service was superb. EVERYONE was so kind and had happy vibes. We ordered an omelette, French onion soup and lemon Dutch baby. I was really looking forward to the Dutch baby as I heard wonderful reviews. I was disappointed.. it was not as expected. Omelet was okay too, nothing special. But the French onion soup was delicious!!

Cozy, warm, unassuming, and always delicious. The perfect antidote to the seattle weather with its soft lighting, attentive staff, thoughtful wine list, and welcoming spirit. One of my favorite places in the city - we return again and again.

The food is interesting. I got the savory Dutch baby, which I enjoyed. My husband got the breakfast plate, which was a lot of food all piled up. He did not like it, so we traded. It was creatively presented but was not a good value. It is a lovely place and the prices are probably as high as they are because it is so popular.
