    Food was beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious, and the service was personal and top notch. We enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth oysters, savory French onion soup, wonderful entrees (salmon, lamb pasta, and best pork steak), and a divine pineapple tart. Thank you Tilikum Place for another memorable dinner in Seattle!

    The food was amazing! Baked oysters were top notch! The salmon was the incredible! Our waitress, Kendra - I think that was her name, was super friendly and had great recommendations! We’re from out of town so I will definitely recommend Tilikum to all my friends visiting.

    Sarah waited on us and her service was superb. Kendra was our host and bartender and she knocked it out of the park with cocktails. Perfect Manhattan & Espresso Martinis. The Chicken and Pork tenderloin dishes were delicious. Value for the experience was above expectations. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. Bob & Dotty

    The perfect Seattle neighborhood restaurant. After all these years, the menu remains fun, and fresh with specials and old standard seamlessly offered.

    What a great gem in Seattle. One of my favorite spots. Not fancy or trendy instagramable type of restaurant… instead tasty and solid food… with incredible service. Went for dinner, but weekend brunch is also at a different level!
