    Best Mediterranean meal I've had in a long time! Also, the decor of this location is outstanding, which should be considered part of the experience. Lastly, their cocktails are incredibly creative and inspiring.

    food was delish…took a while to come out of the kitchen. The steak skewer was great but overpriced.

    The ambience was perfect for a fun Friday night. We sat in the covered patio area at a high table. The service we received was timely and friendly. We just got drinks and they were all great quality and well crafted. Prices were very reasonable.

    Went with a gift certificate I received for my birthday on my birthday- I thought the scarce amount of bread ( 1 pita, 2small pieces focaccia) for the Salatim plate ( assorted mezze) was unnecessarily stingy when the price is 36 dollars. The rest was perfectly fine but no better that Seattle standards. The staff was fine.
    Sabine Café and BarResponded on 26 November 2024
    Agnes, thank you for sharing your feedback with us at Sabine Café and Bar. We appreciate your input on the Salatim plate and will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to improve our offerings. We're glad to hear that everything else met Seattle standards!
