    I don’t want to over-hype Tilikum Place Cafe because I know that can lead to excessive expectations sometimes, but this may have been the BEST breakfast experience in my life (and I am 70 y/o). The baked eggs with spinach were super creamy with herbed breadcrumbs and Parmesan for texture, the bacon was perfect, but of course the classic lemon Dutch Baby sealed the deal. Loved the atmosphere and our server was wonderful! Book early— only like 12 tables or so.

    The menu always offers very special ingredients and combinations. The halibut was superb. The lettuces were perfect. Raspberry mousse cake was delectable. Apricot frangipane was perfect. Thank you, once again, for a sublime meal.

    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
