   Delicious food and great experience! Tried the hand tossed pasta for appetizer and love it! We ordered the roasted chicken and steak which were both very delicious!

   1) Fabulous food -- we had a mix of small plates including oysters, a salad, a fried cheese with grilled bread and a cup of asparagus soup. 2) Fabulous cocktails -- we had a last word and boulevardier (plus some wine). 3) Stellar service -- bartender/server was a total delight. 4) Lovely setting -- quite enough to have a really good chat over our delicious food and drinks.

   Another fabulous experience at Tilikum Cafe! Love the atmosphere and can always count on great service and delicious food! We always have the pasta appetizer which is the best, certainly would like to know how they do it! For main courses we had the pork schnitzel and the halibut dish…both were excellent! Finished our meal with the strawberry/rhubarb crisp and vanilla ice cream which was perfect! Must mention our server Denise and the team that did a fantastic job giving us superb service!

   The TPC used to have more options in the menu. I think the pandemic caused a lot of hardships to many businesses, particularly restaurants. But I’m sure the cafe will regain its former vitality.

   Highly recommend! The Dutch boys and the eggs benedict were amazing. The staff was great. We will definitely be back next time we're in Seattle. You do absolutely need reservations for brunch.

   Amazing experience! Food was excellent and service felt like you were being served by your mom and aunts (in a good way). Super friendly staff that were accommodating to us having two kids under 4 with us. Will come back every time we are in Seattle!

   Such a great spot for breakfast. The atmospheric green and staff were very welcoming and the coffee and food were delicious. Maybe plan to share a Dutch baby - they were enormous.

    Everything was perfect... we had 7:15pm reservations, however got there at 6:35 just to see if we could eat earlier. We were accommodated with no problems... French onion soup, halibut and braised ribs for dinner were fantastic. Wait staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about celiac disease and gluten free options so my wife had French onion soup without croutons.

    Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Tilikum Place Cafe. The staff were very friendly and attentive. French Press coffee was very good. Liked that we could order it half caffeinated. We ordered two Dutch babies (Sweet and Savory). Both were excellent. Sweet definitely lived up to its name. Well done on both. Also had TPC Breakfast Plate with Beechers cheddar. That combination was excellent. Breakfast potatoes were good. Highly recommend Tilikum Place Cafe for breakfast in Seattle.

    Tilikum Place Cafe came very highly recommended so we had high expectations. Our expectations were met and surpassed. The pasta appetizer and french onion soup were superb and roasted chicken and black cod entrees expertly prepared with wonderful flavors. Definitely plan on returning.

    Pork chop was quite salty and overcooked, farro was very bland and dry. Bread seemed to come from a grocery store, butter was rock hard. Beet arancini were good. Halibut was fine, mashed peas were quite starchy and needed fat and acid. Quite disappointed with this meal.

    Food was impeccable, ambiance darling. Such a treat. The chicken is excellent sounds weird because it’s just chicken but the Robert sauce is scrumptious. French onion soup is the best I’ve ever had and the app noodles with sage and brown butter is a must too

    As usual Tilikum Cafe got it exactly right. I visit regularly and I am never disappointed with anything, I just love coming here! The staff is friendly, timely and caring. The food is out of this world! I love the Dutch baby’s at brunch. Next time I will be going for dinner. Oh, and I just want to say to Judy who dined on Feb 25th and knocked off a couple of stars because there were no oysters in her pasta. I think you may have misread or misunderstood the contents of the pasta you ordered. You said you ordered pasta with beef/mushrooms and oysters. It sounds like a lot of protein and I like beef and mushrooms but not together in pasta. I have never had an issue with anything I’ve ordered but nobody’s perfect, but their kitchen and staff are amazing and I would think would make sure that you had everything in your pasta that was stated in the menu especially since you sent it back and they made you a new one. I am wondering if it might have been pasta w/ beef and oyster mushrooms? That sounds like a French dish they would serve. Oyster mushrooms are great!
