I hate to give this place 3 stars, there is so much we liked about it. But we also had some issues. First the great: Staff are professionals and are on top of the meal service. The food looks beautiful. Everything that came out is instagram worthy. I had the herb Tagliatelle and it was a 5. We were watching one of the kitchen staff roll it in front of us which was a cool bit of open kitchen theater. Now for the things we didn't like. I don't mind spending money in a restaurant for high quality ingredients and the skill in preparing it. However, I was super disappointed in the wines by the glass. They are a terrible value. I use Vivino in stores and restaurants to get a quick feel for wines I might not be familiar with. I could buy the the whole bottle for at retail for less than what they are charging or a glass. I don't mind spending $20-25 for a glass of a great wine, but I was irked by what I felt was an extreme markup. Octopus is usually one of my favorite dishes and I order it wherever I go. Their octopus appetizer was the saltiest dish I have ever had. It had no flavor other than the salt. read more

84 Yesler - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wow, this was the best culinary experience I have had in Seattle. Amazing service, inventive and beautifully presented dishes and a beautiful dining room and kitchen. What a great addition to Pioneer Square. Thank you! read more

84 Yesler had been on my radar for a bit, and I was finally able to check them out on a Friday in August. I highly recommend! I've had my fair share of Italian food around Seattle (and a bit in Italy too). I'm no expert, but I'm usually not that "wowed" by Italian food/pasta. 84 Yesler was certainly an exception - this is not your typical Italian restaurant.... we enjoyed the inventive dishes, beautiful presentation, and great ambiance (including the open kitchen)! They make their pasta by hand every morning, which explains why it's so tasty! You can also tell that the chef/team take a lot of pride in attention to detail and creating an experience for their guests. My favorites were: - Mushroom Agnolotti w/ lamb (rich, but sooo delicious). Love the little filled "pockets" of pasta. - Pasta special of the day (squid ink pasta w/ albacore tuna) - Octopus "bacon" (appetizer) - loved how tender the octopus was and how it tastes like bacon! The little chickpea "fritters" were so light and a great accompaniment! - Sweet corn ice cream w/ candied jalapenos, kettle corn, etc. (dessert) - Not sure the exact description/all the ingredients but I loved this dessert! Perfect blend of sweet/salty and loved the textures! Gorgeous presentation too - see pic) The farro salad (appetizer) and donuts (dessert) were good too but not my favorites. Everything else was on point! You may notice that the prices here are a tad higher than what you might see at another Italian restaurant, but don't let that deter you! Everything was super fresh, unique, and well-executed so definitely worth it for the quality, attention to detail and unique flavor combinations, in my opinion! **We visited during covid and employees were wearing masks (and gloves in some instances) plus tables were distanced and windows were open for ventilation (it was a nice day). read more

Attention to detail would be the resounding theme at this exquisite establishment. From the very thin glasses that give a delicate feel to every sip to the relaxed and warm atmosphere that invites you to fall into a culinary experience of a lifetime. I must say that I've been to many "fine dining" establishments across the US and none have held up to the positively perfect experience we had here tonight. Was it slightly more expensive than you'd find elsewhere, perhaps a bit. However the food was simple, elegant, and struck the perfect balance between being practical and an eyeful before you've even had the first taste. An amazing mixture of textures, colors and ingredients that perfectly fit together. I started with the beef tartare, king salmon for the main and the chocolate mousse for dessert. The bartender mixed up one of the best Pisco Sours I've had while dining out. I simply can't recommend this place enough... We weren't quite hungry enough to give their 4 or 6 course meal selection a try this time but next time we are in Seattle we will certainly plan on giving it a go. We were told that their non coursed menu changes a bit more often than seasonally so figure between 4-6 times a year. And their four or six course taster menu changes monthly from what we were told. So it sounds like there's always opportunity to come back for new experiences. Justin was our server and he was so knowledgeable about the dishes with expertly answered questions. He also found the perfect balance between being attentive and helpful while not making us feel like he was hovering or trying to rush us through the meal to flip a table. I feel like that kind of service is so hard to provide and he just nailed it. When we come back we'll hopefully be able to ask for him again! Please do yourself a favor and spend an evening here, you won't regret it or soon forget it. read more

84 Yesler - So good great dish - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

On a rainy, grey day on the Saturday of a long weekend, my boyfriend and I were one of the first to walk into the restaurant for our 5pm dinner (perfect for us East Coasters!). The door was opened for us and we were immediately greeted by one of the best smiles I've seen in a long time (a far cry from our last fine dining experience at a once Michelin-starred restaurant). Waters were immediately offered, followed by an introduction to Victoria, who would be taking care of us for dinner. Luckily for my boyfriend, she also happens to be the establishment's sommelier. The menu was very quickly explained, with recommendations offered (bonus points!) and drink orders taken. I informed her I would not be having anything alcoholic and she quickly offered a mocktail (more bonus points!) and was kind enough to ask for any preferences (if only bonus points could count for something!) I simply asked for no cucumber, no grapefruit but everything else would be fair game. Of course, I wound up with a grapefruit lavender something or other and, in an effort not to be THAT customer, I really tried to like it. But... when she came back, I had to mention what had happened. It was quickly, and professionally resolved and minutes later, a cherry lemon ginger concoction appeared before me. While the tasting menu was incredibly tempting, my boyfriend and I didn't time our lunch well and weren't hungry enough for 4, or even 6 courses. He ordered the ceviche (at Victoria's recommendation, a far fry from his usual beef tartare order - which looked amazing, and I'm a little peeved his mind was changed) and I got the foie gras (my go-to, but was also hooked by the words "cotton candy"). For mains, he got the Cestini (with cured pork cheeks) and I ordered the Fines Herbes Papardelle (with dungeness crab). That being said, it was hard not to order one of each appetizer But we started with six oysters from Totten Virginica Inlet. I'm admittedly not a fan of West Coast oysters, but I have to admit I really enjoyed these. The ceviche came next - mahi mahi in coconut milk, lime, chive oil and micro greens to top it off. Personally, not my favorite - not bad, just... not the best I've had. Glad we tried it. Then came the foie gras with lingonberry sauce, topped with foie infused cotton candy. The foie was amazing, but the cotton candy was something truly unique. I just let it melt and it left the most incredible lingering flavor. The papardelle with fine herbes was beautiful to look at and delicious. With the exception of a few small pieces of shell (I know how hard it is to shell a crab, so while I'd rather not have any, I can't fault it too much either). The Cestini was also nice to look at (like origami) and we were pretty quickly advised that by some minor error, his plate was missing one cestini so instead of having him wait, he would receive the plate with the missing cestini and, not too long after, the missing pasta arrived. The cured pork cheek, unidentifiable in the cestini itself was actually identified in the pasta sauce! The garlic aftertaste was sublime (not vampire friendly!) The dessert list was short - 3 options, none that especially jumped out at me. We opted to share the apple cake (instead of the chocolate cherry cake or the citrus chiffon cake). I found the cake to be a liiiittle bit dry, but the honeycrisp sorbet was light and refreshing. All in all, good food & great service! Highly recommend. read more

Everything was really good! The waiter was extremely attentive. The place was very well decorated, well, lit, and nice temperature. It was very clean. Drinks were very good. You can see directly into the kitchen where they are making pasta and other dishes right in front of you. One of the best restaurants that I have been to since the pandemic. I had some type of apple cake dessert that was off the hook. Definitely worth a try. I wouldn't go here all of the time because it's a little pricey for me and you have to do a small deposit for reservation. But we didn't have to wait in line and got a really good table and they applied it to the bill. it's a good date spot or special occasion. You will not get a huge quantity, but the quality and taste of the food will be above average. parking can be a little tricky also. Definitely will go back. read more

The service, drinks, and especially the space of 84 Yesler is top tier for Seattle - the food itself is all very good with a few OKs in the mix. If you're like me you'll love the interior space of 84 Yesler. It has to have one of the most thoughtfully designed rooms in the city. I have to give a particular shout out to the bar which is modern, design-forward but with a particularly cozy feel. I will definitely return to enjoy the bar! Service here was all very on point, informed and considerate although I do have to say that it was a bit stiff. There's clearly a high level philosophy going on here because I think we interacted with at least four of the staff here and everyone was light on small talk and pleasantries, firm on template fine dining service. Not a deal breaker but it was something to note given that many super fine dining places I've been to do not employ such an austere attitude amongst the staff. The food really varied depending on the course. We started with the tuna tartare with various accompaniments and I have to say it was one of the best versions of this classic dish that I've ever enjoyed; the tuna was fresh and flavorful, and I particularly enjoyed with the onion and paprika(?) spices. Next up was a butter lettuce and bacon salad that was perfectly balanced between the umami taste of the parmesan and the savory notes of the bacon - bravo! Following that was a pappardelle with a soft cooked egg on top which had a very nice lemon sauce to compliment the well-prepared and fresh noodles but I wouldn't say this was my favorite pasta dish I've ever had. The meal concluded with the rib eye which unfortunately was a big let down in flavor which is always surprising when you're talking about this particular cut - the accompanying sauce felt more appropriate for a pork chop and made the whole thing taste a bit off. So overall, definitely recommended. I would experiment with the menu or even try the tasting menu because based on our experience you're more than likely to find some delicious eats here. read more

Sometimes I will go to a place and the hype has gotten to me. I have unrealistic expectations. But 84 was good. Dishes that were beautiful and delicious. Savory pastas, perfectly done scallops and some desserts that were a fitting finish to the meal. It's a little bit hidden and the layout was a bit unusual but we had a really great meal here. The staff was quite welcoming and this was enjoyable all around. read more

I came here on a Friday night for my fiancé's birthday. They do reservations so I would recommend doing it. We were seated right away when we arrived. They ask if we wanted to eat at the chef's table which was cool. We had a great view of the kitchen. For appetizers, we ordered oysters, parmesan churros, and beef tartare. The beef tartare was probably the best I ever tried. For entrees, we got the pappardelle with crab and seared scallops. WOW. We loved both dishes but the pappardelle wins by a hair. The dishes were both flavorful and the seafood tasted fresh. In conclusion, just get both. :) For dessert, we got a brownie dish with cherry sorbet. That was also amazing too. It wasn't too sweet as the sorbet balanced out the brownie. Overall, service was top notch. Our server was very attentive. One of the best meals I had in a while. read more

The 3 stars is not for the food. It is for: 1) Excellent service 2) They adjusted the 6 course tasting menu because my daughter is a pescatarian For these reasons alone, I would be inclined to go 4 stars, but the food doesn't warrant 4 stars. The six course tasting menu concepts were interesting but execution left us not eager to return. The wagyu was overcooked, chewy, and tough. The steak was also tough and mostly fat. Possibly the worst beef dishes we've ever had, and yes, I've had wagyu before. In both cases, the flat edged steak knife couldn't cut the meat. I needed a sharper knife or a serrated knife to have a chance, but clearly that would miss the point. The halibut was plain and tasteless. My wife's and mine were not cooked consistently. My daughters dishes, without the beef, came out well and she enjoyed them. We over tipped because we appreciated the service and tasting menu flexibility. Perhaps they had an off day, but spending more than we would have at Canlis and the food not as good means we likely won't be back. read more

Amazing fine dining experience. 5 stars for service 5 stars for food 5 stars for ambiance We celebrated New Year's Eve dinner and ordered the special tasting menu. The prices are expected for fine dining and more importantly the service is what I expected for the pricing. I am a pescatarian and they kindly substitute the beef in the first course with a grilled mushroom that was amazing. No questions asked I would recommend this place for a special occasion dinner. I hope to return in the future for Valentine's Day or Anniversary dinner. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night, wasn't too busy. Food was ammmazing! We especially liked the pork stuffed pasta (sorry I wished I remember the dish name), beef tartare and seared foie gras. The foie gras was so good we ordered another lol. I did not know what to think about foie infused cotton candy but it was so good! Wasn't like candy but it wasn't grossly meat tasting; I can't really describe it! Presentation was beautiful. I love that the kitchen was situated in the middle of the restaurant so you can see the cooks at work. Great drink options and they were all deliciously made. Overall I thought the price was very good for the quality of food and service. read more

Service: Friendly, but very disorganized. The place is tiny and there are tons of staff aimlessly walking about, yet drinks took about 20 minutes per round, food was 30+ minutes out and the place was not at capacity. Food: Good. They are trying. A few items were somewhat interesting. But didn't blow my socks off. Drinks: Standard - nothing special or 'signature'. But well-made. Probably the most solid part of this establishment. Value: This is the key to the 2-star rating. The value here is outrageously terrible! I dine in Seattle a lot and I'm not afraid to spend money. But when I spend it, I expect value in return and that is simply not here. The sizes of menu items are not as pictured - they are laughably tiny. After a nearly $500 tab, our party of 3 literally went around the corner to get pizza because we were all hungry. - The $18 Octopus dish had maybe 2oz of actual octopus. - The $21 Beet Salmon had about 3 bites of cold-smoked salmon - you'd get 4 times as much on a morning bagel. - $45 steak pasta had 4 small bites worth; about 1.5oz of meat and maybe 4oz of pasta. - The $24 Scallops were the best deal with 3 scallops on the plate. The the worst part of the experience and the reason I wrote the review is the "mandatory 20% gratuity" automatically added to the check which is then presented to you on a receipt with an additional tip line. If the gratuity is to be mandatory, I feel that it should be built into the represented price. Otherwise, it is underhanded (and technically violates 15 U.S. Code § 54). I actually pulled up the menu at home to see if there was any mention of this, because I didn't see it. It's there - in size 4 faded font at the bottom. Shameful! Furthermore, "the gratuity" is calculated on the post-tax amount, which is not correct. I prefer to tip the establishment, not the governor. And to add insult to injury, we were over-charged 2x $4 on one of our drink rounds. Something I didn't want to argue over as we were trying to leave, but also something I do not appreciate, especially when compounded by their shameful "gratuity" policy. Not my cup of tea. read more

A friend and I had been wanting to try 84 Yesler for awhile. Love the aesthetics if the bar and restaurant. When we were leaving we found out a little bit about the decor from the general manager Michael. From entering to departing the service and entire experience was one to remember. I arrived early had explained I wasn't the person who made the reservations and gave my name which was used when addressing me in just that short intro. My friend was running about 10 minutes late and called, they kindly informed me. For a restaurant that has an open kitchen it wasn't noisy like some places can be. After reviewing the menu we both decided to go with the tasting menu which was priced at $115. We both started off with one of their crafted cocktails, both my friend and I lean towards clear liquor. She went with the Calpico Ice and I had the Sunglass II. When we had questions about the cocktails the waiter was great at explaining how he thought we would like after hearing what we prefer. My friend ordered to additional small plates one was the Beef Tartare and the other was the Parmesan Churros. Let me just say, the plating of their dishes is beautiful the Beef Tartare was especially gorgeous and luckily we were sitting near a window so we had the advantage of the natural lighting. Both of the small dishes were excellent we especially loved the parmesan churros they were like cheesy clouds. Our tasting menu started with shrimp and oyster stew in sea vegetables and cream. The seafood was perfectly cooked. I like various texture in my dishes and they excelled at that and okaying with bright flavors. second course was Torchon of Foie Gras is was almost like a dessert with the honey and strawberries, third course was potato gnocchi with morels, asparagus and nettle pesto. The main was Quileute River Salmon with perfectly crisp skin. Dessert was lemon chiffon cake with lemon-basil mascarpone. My friend is someone that believes in trying everything that sounds good and she doesn't want to regret not trying something when she could've had the chance so she ordered two additional desserts the Black Sesame Mousse and the almond cake. Flatware was cleared and replaced with a new set with each course, everything was perfectly paced. Water glasses were never empty, each course was explained. The staff were all well informed about the menu. The general manager checked in on us more than once. Probably some pf the best service I've experienced. Gratuity is automatically included in the bill and is well deserved. Would definitely return for a special occasion with a friend. As we were leaving we were taking photos of the bar and the General Manager was nice enough to tell us a little about the Campari bottle lights above the bar. Also, explained the screen around the nook towards the front came from the owners home in Japan. He told my friend how he thoroughly enjoyed the way she ordered extras. It was high end dining without feeling too stuffy. Complimentary coconut hazelnut truffles are presented with the bill. Will definitely be back read more

Have been interested in trying this place since it opened, and finally went with my family to celebrate a birthday. Food was fine. Out of the 6 course tasting menu ($160), 2 dishes were standout. Wine list is limited, and trying to engage the service team around the wine selection was frustrating. Restaurant needs a true sommelier not someone who can only describe wine as good. Service was pretentious. While water glasses were filled without asking, no acknowledgment of the birthday, no questions about first time/why choosing this restaurant, and no check in on food allergies. Restaurant interior is nice, and you can see the kitchen from many tables. Would I go back, no. There are better restaurants in the area with terrific food and wine, and service that is welcoming. Would I recommend, no. Am I glad to have tried it, I think so. read more

UPDATE: I rarely update a review and when I do it's usually to correct a minor typo. My husband and I revisited 84 Yesler today, two months after our last visit. We had an exceptional, noteworthy time. Some guests in front of us had an episode at their table. It was pretty bad - something you wouldn't expect at a nice place like this. They handled the incident with grace and we went on with our evening. Later, we found that the manager comped a considerable amount from our bill due to the incident. We appreciated the gesture so much but have never had such a generous response from a manager. This is the type of service that keeps people coming back. We never asked for anything and even argued about how much was discounted from the bill. Whether or not they did this, we would have gladly returned. We will continue to rave to family and friends about this place. Well done, 84 Yesler! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Fantastic dining experience. Service was impeccable and food was creative, well balanced, and portions were perfect. The foie gras appetizer, smoked octopus appetizer, and crab pappardelle pasta were the biggest highlights for us. When I get really excited at a restaurant I over indulge and keep ordering and that is exactly what happened tonight! I'm hoping this place continues to do well as Pioneer Square slowly comes back to life. We cannot wait to return with our friends. Only small note - and I only mention this because it is easily fixed and happened twice - there were two occasions where the individual bringing us our cocktail, and then later our entrees, got the items switched between us. Super minor considering how incredible other service elements were. But, for an establishment like this it is something that should be attended to. read more

My wife, and I came here for the first time last night. Great decor, small, great atmosphere, and ambiance. We booked a reservation on the website. The owner Sam, opened the door for us.

At first my wife, wanted to do ala cart items. However, I was excited to try the 6 course meal. After the meal, she was glad I persuaded her to do it! Everything had such amazing flavor. It one thing we could critique. On our way out, we were greeted again, by Sam. A great overall experience! Would highly recommend to everyone! Try this place out!!!! Satisfaction guaranteed!

We opted to order small plates and entrees rather than going with the tasting menu. We were very happy with our choices. The Beef Tartare arrived first. I could have used a couple more crostini, but I suffered through enjoying the steak, egg yolk jam and crispy shallots on their own. The parmesan churros with the smoked tomato aioli and LOTS of shaved parmesan reggiano were so incredibly light and tasty! I already want them again. For entrees we shared the Mushroom Sorpresine and the Seared Scallops. The pasta dish (sorpresine) was as much a meat dish as pasta. The wild boar was plentiful and tender and paired great with the few mushrooms. When eaten alone, the sorpresine seemed a little too al dente for me, but when eating WITH the boar and mushrooms the texture was perfect. It stood its ground. The seared scallops with white bean puree were cooked perfectly. We finished with the Apple Cake with Honeycrisp Sorbet, mascarpone, and candied apple slices. This was a moist cake which was even more mouth watering with the mascarpone and sorbet. Actually we finished off with a complimentary hazelnut truffle which kept up with all the other great food. If you haven't been here... go! read more

I'm going to be honest, I went into this experience with the bar set way too low. The food was amazing and absolutely smashed my expectations. I will say, the aesthetic is a little bit plain for fine dining in my opinion, however there are many large windows that allow you to watch the street goers. In the end, I'd like to say that this place is great and has many great dishes. Stop by if you have a chance! read more

THE SERVICE IT TOP NOTCH! What an experience. I'm going to start this by saying, I came in here after day drinking all afternoon. The staff was kind, attentive, and took care of me when I went south....quick. From the Tums, to the belly calming light beverage from the bar. The staff could not have been more accommodating to my crappy behavior. We sat so close to the kitchen, I'm pretty sure, the staff recognized I was dying in my seat. Did I mention this was my 11th wedding anniversary dinner, with our best friends who were also celebrating the same? The staff. If you are reading this, THANK YOU! Now for the food review. The chef came out, was so nice, and on her game. The oysters were delicious. We went for the octopus, and I agree with other reviewers. It was overcooked. Plate presentation was incredible, but you could tell it was slightly overdone. We loved everything else. The foie gras was incredible. From the outer caramelization, to the savory flavors, it was a dream. My husband, (who is gluten free) loved his risotto. And they did their best to accommodate his affliction. :) This place is worth a visit. The whole thing is an experience. I cannot thank the staff enough for dealing with my bologna. read more

After many fine tasting menu meals and a handful of regular menu dinners at 84 Yesler, we finally went to an event. Last night, we attended the 2023 Truffle Dinner and had a wonderful time trying distinct dishes using white and black truffles. The tables were rearranged a little for more communal style dining. We sat with two other couples. While slightly awkward at first, it contributed to a fun evening of sharing a love of good food and trying new things. The service was as impeccable as always. Takahashi-san has created a lovely space and assembled a fantastic team. Their meticulousness and attentiveness can make a "no special occasion" special and a special event like their Truffle Dinner something educational and very enjoyable.
