Decent food, good selection of wines by the glass. Service on the wine can be really slow. Not sure why because I can see it sitting on the back of the bar, but the last three times, salads came before wine.

We enjoyed this last-minute dinner quite a lot. Stylish and hip surroundings, a good wine selection, my halibut special was terrific, and my husband's meatloaf was fantastic -- tender, juicy, with a great mushroom sauce. The only disappointment was that the evening's special dessert, grilled peach with whipped sour cream, was served cold.

Snotty and aloof service. Food was bland and without imagination.

This was an unexpecpted find! Great food in a charming atmosphere. Knowledgable servers re wine. Unbelievable chocalate caramel salted candy. Best meal for the money in 10 days of hitting some great Seattle restaurants.

Great atmosphere and wine selection. A good choice pre-theatre. We enjoyed the very flavorful small plates (salmon stuffed peppers in particular). Our mains were pretty standard - fine but nothing special. We'll be back to dive deeper into the tasting menus and wine flights, not so much to have a "meal."
