This is the third time we had the American Omasake at Violet, as wonderful as ever. Every dish was perfect, including the twists on new ingredients and techniques Chef William Belickis added to the mix.

We’ve eaten at Ms. Jane’s twice and loved it both times. The food is excellent and the staff is terrific. They’re warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The portions are good and the food is creative and really good. We’re going back to celebrate Valentines Day!

We went on the OOLA distillery tour and decided to have dinner at OOLA Capitol Hill afterwards — BEST DECISION, and such a fun way to spend the afternoon. The signature burger and fries are BY FAR the best burger I’ve ever had. My husband and I each had a cocktail, and they were superb. The staff were really nice and the atmosphere was really relaxed and fun. We had a great time! We live about an hour away from Seattle and I’m not exaggerating when I say that we will be driving back for that burger again!
