The food was delicious and the servers were great however the kitchen was backed up that we had to wait for over 90 minutes (1.5 hrs) to be served. We arrived early at 6:45pm (reservations @ 7pm), waited at the bar, was seated at 7:30pm and had to wait until 9pm to be served. NUTS!!!

Brilliant. What a wonderful place. Lauren the bartender and do-everything owner KT were excellent. Really customer focused. Food was not heavy. Salmon was so tasty. The hanger steak was done just right. The only thing we didn’t do was lick the plate but we cleaned it. Next time have to Uber so we can try the whisky flight.

We went during restaurant week. We were a table of 3 so we were able to taste the restaurant week menu. Our service was top notch! The drinks were amazing and can stand on their own. We loved the hangar steak, so tender and perfectly prepared. It’s such a happy place to be!

Oola was a great meal and overall experience. The owner and staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The food was excellent. I would have ordered the entire menu for only two of us if our appetites were large enough. The tuna crudo was especially a stand out. Very much look forward to dining there again when back in Seattle.

The bartender was friendly and polite. They were a little short staffed the night we visited, so service was understandably delayed. Nevertheless, the staff made it nice for us.

I went with three work friends for dinner. Loved the food, the service, and the owner. We ordered and shared most of the menu. All was delicious. I look forward to my next Seattle work trip.
