- RRodneyLondon •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThere were 8 of us seated after the Nutcracker. We had our choice of the dining room or the bar. We chose a high topper in the bar. To put it simply service was excellent from the minute we were greeted at the door to taking our leave. The food was exceptional with a large and varied menu that provided everyone with what they wanted. Ordering came down to trying for as wide a selection as possible which was easy. My food recommendation - get anything that looks interesting to you. We will definitely come back to enjoy again.More infoToulouse Petit Kitchen & LoungePrice: Moderate• American• Queen Anne•4.6
- RRexWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoSuperb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8
- VVenkySeattle / Eastern Washington •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoReally enjoyed the food and ambience at Spinasse. There were good options on the menu for a vegetarian family. Our waiter, Heather was awesome and very knowledgeable about vegetarian choices and helped make the right choices. A little bit disappointed that 2 desserts on the menu contain pork gelatin, but there were 3 other desserts to choose from. Again, Heather was awesome in steering us in the right direction. Overall a great experience for a special family dinner!More infoSpinassePrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Capitol Hill / First Hill•4.7
- LLindaSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was my third time dining at Sushi Kashiba and I will be back. Yes, it is expensive, but the food, presentation, and service are amazing. Absolutely the best dining experiences I've ever had. The servers are so professional and very attentive. They are very passionate about their work, the food they serve, and the artistry of the chefs.More infoSushi KashibaPrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.9
- GGarySeattle / Eastern Washington •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWonderful venue to celebrate a special occasion (like a spouse’s birthday)! Service is top-notch and the food is nicely prepared & presented. This couple shared one appetizer, one small plate, the sturgeon entree, and a key lime pie—very satisfying! Do request bread for dipping into the sauce if you get the mussels.More infoRockCreek Seafood & Spirits - SeattlePrice: Expensive• Seafood• Fremont•4.7
