Terrible service in omitting the included gratuity for a party of 5 and then ignoring my refund…read morerequest. I called Itto's 7 times and emailed them once to no reply. Below is my request. The purpose of this email is to request a partial refund of $40 for my friend and I each on our visit on May 23rd, 2026. The main reason for this request is that we did not know about the included gratuity in our bill. It was hard to notice this and consequently, after splitting the bill, my friend and I tipped an additional $40 each. First of all, imposing a mandatory gratuity is not industry standard. Just to make sure it's not me and it's you, I called six other restaurants nearby Itto's Tapas: Due Cucina, KinD, Pegasus, Lady Jaye, and Matador in West Seattle. None of them add a mandatory gratuity regardless of party size. However, when I called Shadowland they informed me they do add a gratuity for parties with 6 guests or more. We had only 5 guests and our receipt includes a line item for "large party." Five guests is not a large party and only requires one server. This demonstrates Itto is the only restaurant imposing a mandatory gratuity for groups of 5 in the area. We did not see this line item at the time and did not expect to have to audit the receipt for a practice that is not industry standard nor were we a large party. Furthermore Itto's own website describes itself as "softly lit" making it hard to see the receipt. Also, we generously ordered many items from your menu making it even harder to see the "large party" scam line on a receipt with so many words on it. Finally, we were socializing and listening to each other's stories and not reviewing the bill with a fine tooth comb. Next, your server lacked the proper manners to inform us of the included gratuity nor did she thank us for the 20% we already paid for. She was not a mute and capable of using her voice to inform me that Itto does not accept the Discover credit card I originally tried to pay with and that Itto only accepts Visa and Mastercard. Therefore it's reasonable to conclude she was purposely omitting to tell us that the gratuity was already paid for when she returned with the second receipt. Next, we thanked our server several times when she took our order, brought our food and drinks, and when she refilled our water. It would behoove your staff to be as thankful as the guests they are serving. Saying "thank you for the 20% tip you already paid me" would be the right and polite thing to do. It's shameful and poor manners to omit gratitude for a gratuity paid. Minimum wage in Seattle is $21.30 and our included gratuity was $60.30, almost triple that. That is more than enough for a job that does not require an advanced degree and the student loans that come along with one. Instead, our opportunistic server with poor manners collected an additional $80 for a total gratuity of $140.30 for about one hour of work. Given a subtotal of $301.50, that amounts to 47%. Do you ever tip that much when you go out to eat? No, that is an absurd amount. The service did not amount to that. I've been to a restaurant where the silverware is changed and the servers scoop the crumbs from the white linen tablecloth before every course. We did not get this kind of 5 star service at all. Instead we were taken advantage of. Please return the $40 to my card and to the card that my friend used to pay the bill at your restaurant on Saturday night. I've included a photo of the itemized and final receipt for you to find the transaction.

The drinks were ok, to me was a bit too salty/mild for my liking. The food was good, ample amounts of nachos and how quick everything came out. The service we had was amazing. My parents enjoyed the brussel sprouts and I would say I enjoyed the quesadillas. I think the large nacho plate was needing a better mix as everything was just plastered on a section instead of evenly spread.

There was no actual soup, rather it was just oil Which was rather unfortunate. I was hoping for some flavour, but just got oil which made me rather nauseous. I'm used to oil - I eat at fast food restaurants. Not to be rude, but truthfully, there was 1cm of oil layering the take outboxes that were delivered to me. I would not recommend the Peanut Butter Soup or the Eugusi. However, if oil is not a concern - then I would say the Eugusi was more flavoursome than the Peanut Butter Soup

The Ropa Vieja from here was quite good. It came as a very large amount of shredded beef, a smaller…read morehelping of rice, and fries to go along with it. I'll start with the beef, as it was the primary component of the dish. Despite it being flank steak, it was clearly simmered for a long time - and displayed none of the traditionally chewy or dry properties associated with the tougher cut. The sauce also helped - it was very well spiced, and had a slight tomato-like flavor. Mixing this with the yellow rice yielded something that was really satisfying to eat. The combination of sauce, beef, and rice was quite enjoyable, even with mixing the vegetables in for some extra crunch. The portion size of beef was crazy. When combined with the rice, the total amount of food here was solidly enough for two full meals. It is around 20 dollars for the dish, but I would classify that as a good value when you consider how much food you get. On the opposite side, I swapped the maduros out for fries. These...were not good. The fries tasted stale, hard, and not appealing at all. While the portion size was high, the appeal was not. The sauce that came with these was interesting at least. Overall, I think this is a very strong core dish at an impressive portion. Would recommend sticking with the plantains as a side though. 8.5/10

Things to do in Seattle...West Seattle Farmers Market at the heart of the West Seattle Junction…read more From farm to the neighborhood community! Wherever we travel, we love checking out the local farmers market! We ran into this farmers market meeting a friend for a hike. We were too early since they don't open until 10am. Afterwards, we came back to check it out. Love the sense of community. It got really busy with some vendors having long lines. Fresh vegetables, fruit, amazing cider, meat, cheese, fresh oysters, fresh mushrooms, bread and baked goods. And, of course, gorgeous fresh flowers!! The food options are great with grilled salmon and breakfast sandwiches. We left with fresh apricots, cherries and a bottle of Apple Cider. Parking on side streets can get full near the farmers market. It gets quite busy. There are no bathrooms. It is also dog friendly.

Cute year-round farmers market with a lot of stands selling fresh produce, meat, flowers, and more…read more There are not a lot of hot/ready to eat stands here compared to other farmers markets, but cool restaurants are so close by so it doesn't really matter. I recommend Lady Jaye for lunch, Bakery Nouveau for baked goods, and Panterelli for beverages and dessert! It got quite busy at times at several stands, but it went quickly and everyone was chill about it. It was not chaotic or stressful at all, no claustrophobic vibes here. It was also fun to people watch to see what other patrons were buying. Many people were out with the entire family and pets and enjoying the great weather. I can't wait for summer to roll around and for more stuff to come to market!

As a BIPOC versatile modern artist that mostly works with modern hip-hop inspired sounds, I've…read moresearched everywhere for an open mic environment that welcomes all kinds of genres and doesn't simply cater to just acoustic & rock artists/audiences. I came here and performed three times, only to realize that the crowd including the owners/hosts were 90% just that, and I was the only musician there that actually cared for, or actually performed anything close to modern hip-hop music.... The environment as a whole wasn't extremely unfriendly, but I did kind of get chewed out by one of the hosts/bartenders who plays the drums for certain performances, for bringing in outside food, because he felt it was "disrespectful to their business/establishment," and I was told to step out and finish it, then come back. (I'm so sorry for wanting to eat something that wasn't included in your limited/bland options of food on your menu, while I idle and wait for the sign on list to come out. ) Mind you I've ordered food from here on my first time visiting, and it was not that impressive, or appetizing enough to make me want to order it again.... Despite that, I meant no offense by bringing in a small burger from a spot almost right beside the club, and didn't expect them to get so offended by it.... I get that you guys are trying to keep the lights on, but maybe add more items to your menu, and hire more/better cooks if you want more people to buy your food. Probably not the best idea to attempt to coerce what would be future customers.... You are running a cafe for crying out loud, remember that you need to put your ego to the side most of the time, and care for/cater to your consumers/clientele and what they want, if you want to succeed, and stay afloat.... That aside, the open mic experience as a whole was fairly decent. They let anyone perform, and it was a very talented crowd. Some of the staff admittedly even had some musical chops. Unfortunately I did not like the female host very much. She struck me as kind of stand-offish and arrogant, she had control of the stage lights, and tweaked with them, and made them change colors for a dramatic effect for performers she enjoyed, but she didn't do that little "light show" for me during my time on stage, I guess that explains that situation..... Regardless, I had no serious issue with her until I over heard her speaking with a group of people beside me in an ill manner about modern hip hop music, and referring to it as "mumble rap", claiming "it has no potential to maintain relevancy." That kind of annoyed me because girl, do you even know, or clearly understand what you're talking about? I can't fathom how an open mic host wouldn't appreciate nor respect all kinds of music, no matter how it is performed, or written.... Music is a vibration, it's not just words.... And all of it doesn't simply have to remain stuck in the method/tune of "hey there Delilah," or "my achey breaky heart," forever, to be "good" or "have potential to maintain relevancy..." the music industry/market is expanding, and progressing beyond that sound, and it appears that this place doesn't appreciate that, nor want to support artists who work in those kinds of genres/sub-genres. Again, besides the open mic having a fair arrangement, and audience, the vibe I get from the organizers/bar tenders & staff is very arrogant, and standoff-ish.... Especially from their drummer guy. Very rude, and weird guy..... I don't think I plan on returning.....
