This restaurant has been on my list of must trys for a while and on Valentine's Day, we finally had a chance! We went to the Madison Park location (which is a beautiful area). The restaurant is located in a street with other small shops and restaurants, but was easy to find. Parking was not an issue when we went so no need to scramble to find a spot. Since it was our first time, we opted to get the Valentine's course meal. We were pleasantly surprised that the first course came with everything on the list while the second, third, and dessert courses you were able to choose from some options. We started off with the Hamachi Crudo, Beef Tartare, Burrata, and Beet Salad. All tasted amazing and were portioned nicely that you could sample each without getting too full. I would say the Hamachi Crudo was my favorite. The second course consisted of a choice of pastas. We got the Tagliatelle and Calamarata. Both came out piping hot and the noodles were a nice al dente. Out of the two, we preferred the Calamarata since it had a nice balance with the tomato sauce and seafood. For the third course, we decided to get the scallops and elk loin. The scallops were cooked very well being soft and tender. It was served on a bed of white beans which had an almost Spanish flare to it. The elk loin was good as well, but from someone who doesn't eat elk too often, the texture and gaminess reminded us a lot of duck. By the time dessert came around, we were already pretty full but still ordered for dine in! We got the raspberry sorbetto and the Almond Frangipane Torte. We got a heaping scoop of the sorbet, which was a little sour but delightfully light after the rest of the meal. The Almond Frangipane reminded us a lot of the Chinese Almond cookies, which was a nice surprise and something different from our normal dessert ventures. Aside from the food, the service was great with the wait staff being very attentive and friendly! The ambience of the restaurant is what you would expect from a finer dining establishment. Although the food was quite pricey, I would come here again to try their other dishes for future occasions! read more

Utterly fantastic! My friend and I walked here before Christmas when the weather was unreasonably cold. I felt chilled to the bone but the warm greeting was welcomed! Our waiter sat us in the far corner promising it was the warmest spot and then, since they do not have herbal tea, provided a glass of hot water with lemon. It warmed me up! It was a very relaxed atmosphere. I genuinely felt no rush, no push. I was here and it was comfortable. Our waiter was friendly, came by frequently but never overbearing, and provided great recommendations. The space was neat as well - the wood canopy roof, the distressed metal border, and the brightness was interesting to the eye! The food was delicious. We started with the fritters which were nice and crunchy on the outside and super soft and warm on the inside. I opted for the black cod and it was so good! The fish was perfectly cooked - tender and flavorful. I was surprised how much I enjoyed corona beans. They had a toothiness to them that I very much liked! The tomato sauce was the unifying touch as it was wonderful - light, savory, more like a broth than a sauce it just added an extra pizzazz to an excellent meal! The drinks were also fabulous. The Bee Hive reminded me of a less floral Bee's Knees and the Window Seat was utterly incredible - but I'm very fond of pear. All in all it was a glorious experience where I walked away with leftovers and a fully belly! read more

Surprised that locals really don't like this place?! Partially they don't like Ethan Stowell + the 22% auto tip on checks. I had booked a thank you dinner for friends in Madison Park while visiting town, seemed like the only nice option. Food was good. The wild boar ragu was a big hit. The gnocchi was a miss...sadly the waitress knew it and still let us order this bland dish. They were very nice but wish the staff was more knowledgeable of their wines. Wolf offers an interesting list but I couldn't get answers/guidance. I rated for the food, which of the three dishes averaged 3-4 stars. read more

1. Exterior patio is lovely. Interior also Inviting and hip but not overly trying 2. Lovely staff 3. Craft cocktails 4. Unfortunately there's very little to enjoy as a vegan. They'll take cheese off but then but there's things that are done with butter and Itjust makes you feel like it's not a place for lactose intolerant vegetarians or vegans. It's such a shame because I really love it. How many times do I go out to dinner with a group of people but we avoid certain restaurants because there's not an understanding of plant based protein It would be so easy to add some wonderful fully plant-based dishes with protein and flavor. read more

Came here for Seattle restaurant week with friends- dishes are meant to be shared family style. But my friends and I only shared apps but got our own mains. Food was just alright for the price. my friends and I thought a few items were overly salty including the carpaccio and the steak. Presentation of the food was nice though. They ran out of a hazelnut dessert my friends wanted. But overall, the dessert wasn't impressive - probably worth skipping. Restaurant has a nice cute ambiance though. read more

HTCAW used to be our favorite restaurant in Seattle . We've been going there for at least 13 or 14 years . The food quality has declined the last couple of years in my opinion so we go less often than we used to. We've also been to Madison Park and last night was the most bizarre and disappointing meal yet. I was a waitress when I was young and I would never leave for the night and not tell my table so they sat with dirty dishes until the restaurant was empty. That's what happened last night. The server was , even before that , uninterested at best . My friend actually felt like he was annoying the server. To top it off , the food was bland and mediocre . We were given gift cards to dine again once we alerted someone else that we had been abandoned. I appreciate that but not that interested after this expensive experience. read more

The food and service was phenomenal. We made a reservation through capital one dining and booked an "exclusive" table, which doesn't cost any extra and they gave each of us a glass of champagne on the house. All of the food is so good, and definitely try some of their cocktails which are so unique. I will definitely be back here again soon! read more

*THANK YOU TROY (host), KATIE (server), AND STAFF* My partner and I originally booked our NYE dinner plans at another Ethan Stowell restaurant and unfortunately they ran out of their only steak option for their main course (at 10pm, for a steak house?!). Disappointed, hungry, stressed, we were scrambling to find a new reservation elsewhere. We called How to Cook a Wolf. At this location and Troy was fantastic getting us a table quickly and explained what happened to our last reservation at the other place to our server and the staff. Everyone that night truly surprised and delighted us with complimentary drinks, caviar and truffle add-ons free of charge. We were blown away by the service and care. Thank you for going above and beyond. Happy New Year! read more

How to Cook a Wolf - A few things from their NYE pre-fixe menu. Delicious courses! - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yeah, I've had the food, in fact all the food. It's fine. You could potentially quibble with some of the execution, if you're a quibbler or a pedant you will, that's you being you. The important thing and I believe the true value of this iteration of HTCAW is the staff, they are top to bottom the nicest most accommodating and professional people front of a house in the greater Madison Valley area. Perhaps beyond. The interior is pleasant and appropriate in all seasons, a neat design trick given Seattle's meteorologic mood swings. read more

Cute place and was very excited to try. Loved all our food and drinks, however very overpriced for what you get. Then they add on a 22% gratuity to your bill. Absolutely absurd that they tipped themselves that amount for bringing the 3 of us drinks and one pasta dish each... HATE restaurants that add gratuity for you and will not be back because of that alone. Very unclassy read more

I had pretty high hopes for this restaurant. I've been wanting to go here for over a year and decided the 4 course Valentine's menu would be perfect. The inside is very nice; especially the wood work on the ceiling. We did not opt for the wine pairing but did add the Sea Wolf Sourdough. The menu sounded delicious with 4 parts to the first course: Ahi Tuna Crudo, Steak Tartare, Chicories, and Burrata. I guess the chicories were the best because the other 3 were bland and/or uninspired. For the second course, we split both the Tonarelli and the Gnocchi. Again, these were average at best and I could have made better at home. The third course was the main/protein and we split the Zabuton Steak and the Black Cod. The cod was ok but the steak was tough; borderline inedible. For desert, we split the Canoli and the Flourless Chocolate Torte. They were both rather good and I especially liked the canola for not being overly sweet. The best part of the meal was, by far, the Sea Wolf Sourdough. I think that the kitchen had a very long day by the time of our 9 pm reservation on one of the busiest days of the year. I am honestly being generous with my rating. It was a very disappointing way to spend over $300 for 2 people. I am giving it an extra star for the ambiance, the attentive wait staff, and the hope that it will be better should I ever give them another chance. read more

Came here for restaurant week and the food was pretty average for the price. The carpaccio was quite melt in your mouth but too salty with the parmesan sprinkled on it. The taste of beef was lost completely. We ordered the add on bread which was by far the best item we ate. For the entree the duck breast skin was not crisp or rendered completely and it was cooked medium rare without any input from us. It was meh and lacked flavor. The halibut was good with all the veggies on the plate and I'd recommend that. The chocolate hazelnut cake was delicious but the panna cotta was too much pumpkin flavor. Not our thing I guess. I'd find another dinner spot for this restaurant week dinner price point. read more

Last time we went to the one in Queen Anne years ago, I knew I made a mistake by setting my expectations too high. This time in Madison Park, I was prepared to be disappointed, and yes, utterly I was. Appetizers: The $25 Wagyu Beef Carpaccio was very good, just a little bruised, nothing impressive! The $16 Brussels Sprouts were good also, but I've had better. Entrees: The $36 Tonnarelli, firmer than al dente, doesn't taste like fresh pasta. The sauce was the best thing of the night! Thanks to the butter! The $60 Safeway-grade NY steak was one of the worst I've ever had - dry, bland and overcooked. I had to steal the sauce from my husband just so I could finish it - barely edible. I can easily make better steak at home. I did enjoy my $12 non-alcoholic drink, Apple of my Chai. The service was disconcerting! Our server made everything more complicated and disordered, almost embarrassing! His casual approach made the birthday dinner much more casual than we had hoped. He didn't tend to our table in a timely manner, so when he took our orders, he totally mixed up the sequence of drinks, appetizers and entrees. He also didn't know the basic - what to start with, whom to start taking orders from, which direction to go in. The 5 of us ended up ordering food and drinks randomly looking at each other. The server's questions were confusing, taking one order of appetizer, then, one entree, then an appetizer again, then entrees again, and drinks at last. Even though we all had our mind made up and decided what to order, he managed to make it very chaotic and awkward! The server had the responsibility of making sure the process of ordering is organized which is pretty simple but he failed big time! He also had the responsibility of checking if the steak was overcooked or not, and he failed that, too! Of course, as customers, we had to meet the requirement of paying the mandatory 22% service charge even though the server did not deliver. They stated that "ESR does not believe traditional gratuities are an equitable or modern way to pay our employees." I do not believe the modern way of applying the mandatory 22% is an equitable way to treat the customers neither. Just like paying full price for bad food, customers can only choose not to go there again. A star for the nice ambiance. I wish they did/said something for the birthday girl, at least just say "happy birthday". read more

I went here with my sister for dinner last night and we had a great time! We did the Valentine's prix fixe which was a really good value and more than enough food. I was thrilled they had solid gluten free options for every course. Some of the highlights were the burrata, scallops, and crudo. Everything was really fresh and flavorful. The staff were great and gave solid recommendations, but I will say the restaurant definitely seemed a little understaffed. Everyone was working hard to keep things moving and were really running around managing a large number of tables. I'm so glad my sister suggested this spot and would definitely return! read more

Fantastic food! We have a variety of dishes from chefs recommendations and we were not disappointed. Wine pairing was excellent as well. Justin was our server and did an awesome job. If you are in the area I would put this restaurant on your list. We ate outside as it was a nice day but they still brought out a heat lamp for us. We will come back for sure. read more

We had the chance to come for Mother's Day brunch (a service they are planning on rolling out in the next month), and overall had a pleasant but prolonged experience. We loved the food and felt like it was an extremely fair price for a holiday meal (3 courses for $65). The baked eggs and spring peas were amazing, as was the pistachio gelato. The cocktails were refreshing, and my kiddo absolutely loved the pasta (which was a huge portion!). The patio was lovely, but could definitely use a few more umbrellas for shade. They are still working out the kinks of brunch service - it took over an hour from receiving our appetizer to our main course. Our server was really kind and apologized for the slow service, and we knew it wasn't their fault. Luckily, there was a playground nearby that my husband could take my son over to. They forgot to bring one side (also not a big deal in the grand scheme of things). I think they will have an excellent brunch service once they are able to figure out their flow! Be prepared for a leisurely meal if coming for brunch. read more

During the pandemic I have gotten takeout at a lot of different places but honestly this may have been the best takeout experience we have had yet. We got their meals for two and chose the Conchiglie Nero because I am a big fan of squid ink and octopus. They did a great job at keeping all the food warm as sometimes with takeout if it isn't a 5-10 min drive away the food can get cold but we live a solid 20+ minutes away and everything that needed to be hot still was which is fantastic. The pasta was the highlight as it was delicious and everything I wanted in a seafood pasta. The bread had a nice char taste from the grill and you can't go wrong with roasted garlic and fennel-honey butter. The salad was bright and flavorful. The burrata was creamy and a nice contrast to fishiness of the pasta. And for dessert we got panna cotta instead of a brownie, which is what I thought we would get, and that was a huge upgrade in my opinion! We enjoyed everything with a bottle of wine we got at Maryhill when we went to their winery in Goldendale. Also the price was very reasonable as we were choosing between this and Canlis take out to celebrate being together for three years but at half the cost of Canlis this was the obvious choice for us. I strongly recommend and we will definitely return for dine-in to sit in their outdoor wolf dens. Ethan Stowell spots seem to have very safe and distanced outdoor dining which I truly appreciate. read more

How to Cook a Wolf - Conchiglie Nero meal for 2 - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Was craving that nettle pesto campanelle and had to come back before SRW month was over! Well this time we each ordered our own serving of the dish rather than sharing a couple of different main courses, and maybe it was a better idea to share! They do very generous portions for their SRW dishes and this one gave us both bad stomach aches overnight and the next day. I didn't think it was the food, but then I ate the leftovers the following day and had the same reaction. Not sure what is in there that could have caused such stomach irritation but I didn't have any issues the previous visit when we shared that dish. That being said the service this visit was excellent. It was a beautiful day and the ambiance of this space was so warm and inviting. I will have to come back when SRW is over and try some other menu items. You generally can't go wrong with the ESR brand! read more

Woohoo! If you're in the mood to dine out and crave an experience at a restaurant vs take out, I do suggest stopping by this cute restaurant. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited space but overall, my friend and I had a pretty pleasant dining experience here. For the outdoor setting, there are heaters above the table. Tables are spaced out quite nicely and the twinkling lights beneath the clear covered ceiling adds a nice homey touch. For the food itself, highly recommend ordering a few dishes to share as the portions are quite generous. For my friend and myself, we opted to try the following: 1) Polenta Fritter 2) Salad (forgot the name) 3) Gnocchi 4) Pappardelle 5) a nice red bottle of wine. The pasta here = ON POINT. Both dishes (gnocchi and pappardelle) was delicious and veryyyy filling. Love the texture of the dishes and honestly, if you're not too hungry, skip the small plates and dive into the pasta :) As for the fritter and salad, these were pretty refreshing to eat but the pasta dishes wins hands down. Service was pleasant, prices are reasonable and overall, I would definitely swing by here again for pasta yumminess! read more

Chose this place for a birthday dinner specifically because my previous experience here has been pretty darn good. Oh well, some things are just not worth a repeat. The experience was a hit or miss. The hits were some of the food items: Sea Wolf Sourdough: amazing, Conchiglie Nero pasta: also very pleasant despite an above generous amount of chili. And I have to say, the interior with wood-clad walls reminding of a Nordic cabin was pleasant, especially with the snow falling outside the lit windows. The misses were mostly service: 1/ our waiter pretty much forgot about us after serving the main course, and it took a full-on dancing/hand-waving in the air to catch anyone's attention (while the place was not even half full at the time). 2/ despite knowing about the birthday being celebrated, there was no element of "hey, let us surprise you with a candle in your ordered dessert" or things like that. The birthday girl, who btw saw another table get a compliment from the chef, was underwhelmed to say the least. In all, the treatment was offhand and barely fitting the price tag. The desserts were ok at most: both the tiramisu and the cannoli were a bit on the "too bland and too fatty" side. Could be also the by-product of the mood overshadowed by the lackluster service. Not sure I will be coming back for more of the same. read more

Me and my husband went on a date night and we tried out How to cook a wolf. The restaurant wasn't big, but we loved the ambiance and the interior. It was very stylish with curved wooden panels on the ceiling, and a warm and cozy vibe. We had Ghostface Killah cocktail and pilsner. And for dinner, we had burrata, lumache, calamarata, and scallops to share. Burrata was good with anchovies on top, which was unique and add a lot of flavor. I loved scallop dish, the sauce was delicious and scallop was very well cooked- soft and tender. But it only came 3 scallops! For the price, the dish was $48, portion seems little too small. We both loved Calamarata pasta, it was delicious, and fried basil on top of it added texture. Lucmache was good, too. Pasta dishes have pretty good amount to share. We share Cannoli with ricotta cheese for the dessert, and it was little too dry and nutty. And very hard. Compared to the quality of the main dish, the dessert was disappointing. The service was overall ok. When we arrived for our reservation, it was a fairly early time (5:30) so there were many empty tables. We got window table but requested to change our sits to be in the middle, and the guy gave us a look and said it all depends on the reservation, so he needs to ask. He wasn't our server, and we got to change our table. But we didn't appreciate the attitude we got. On top of that, this restaurant charges 22% service charge for every bills. And says they don't ask for tip. I personally think 22%service charge is pretty high rate, and if we pay that amount, we deserve outstanding service. Unfortunately, the service through out the night didn't give us the impression that it was worth the money. Also, after you pay the bill, they give you the slip where you can sign and it still had the tip section which we think it's misleading. Overall, experience was good and food was great. read more

I ate here with a party of four for their NYE price fixed menu. The options looked good, but the execution was not awesome. The scallops didn't taste horribly fresh, the wagyu cut was tough as all hell, and the burrata with anchovy appetizer was a little bizarre. Very salty. The cranberry/ginger holiday drink was yummy and the service was amazing. The restaurant itself was beautiful as well, with rounded wood ceilings and tasteful decorations. Perhaps the food is better on a regular night that isn't a holiday. That being said, Ethan's other restaurants are a little better in my opinion. I enjoyed Staple and Fancy a bit more. read more

COVID Stumbled upon this restaurant and got interested by its name. The restaurant looks beautiful outside and it was participating Restaurant Week. So menu was a bit limited but the food was still nicely prepared and tasted delicious. Set 1: ahi tuna crud, scallops, cannoli Good on tuna as 3 thick slices sit on a fresh bed of olive oil with watermelon dressing adding slight sweetness to the fish. Scallops were seared to perfect crunchiness with a soft center. The spring vegetables were very refreshing and well paired. Cannoli were generous in amount and not too sweet of the cream, rather focused with pistachio attached. Set 2: beef carpaccio, pork chop, raspberry sorbetto Carpaccio was nicely paired with the green olive and shredded cheese, pork chop was a bit too sweet for our taste but the raspberry sorbetto was full of fruit flavor and more creamy than icy. Set 3: beets, campanile, gelato The beets was very delicious and filling! Campanile was again sumptuous but a bit light to my taste bud. Gelato is no fail. Overall service is nice and the ambiance is comfortable and beautiful. A good experience! read more

The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf location is one of my husband and I's favorite restaurants so we wanted to check out the Madison Park location - still one of our favorite restaurants in the Seattle area! If you are even thinking about eating here, make a reservation asap!! The restaurant isn't huge but they also have a good number of outside tables as well. This location (like the Queen Anne one) also has street parking throughout so allot plenty of time to find parking before your reservation time. On to the food...: 1) Sea Wolf Sourdough - Bread is bread...but something about the fennel-honey butter they give you to spread on the bread just makes it extremely tasty. 2) Foie Gras Mousse - By far my most favorite dish at either How to Cook a Wolf locations. I practically licked the plate clean! The mousse was so rich and the pomegranate fruit flavor adds an extra zing to the flavor. 3) Burrata - This was a very refreshing vegetable dish! 4) Wagyu Beef Carpaccio - I wasn't able to eat this since I was pregnant so my husband had to eat the entire dish himself, but he thoroughly enjoyed this meat dish. He took some of the Sourdough and actually ate it with the beef. 5) Pasta (forget what this one was officially called) - We ordered an asparagus and mushrooms pasta and oh my goodness. Even though I was so full from the other dishes, I still mustered up enough stomach space to have some lovely bites of this pasta. Even though it was pasta, it still felt light! How To Cook a Wolf is a MUST EAT! I still highly recommend going to either location with a bigger group so you can try even more dishes (their style is family style). read more

"Food was very similar to Tavolata. Which was kind of disappointing. Expected different dishes. Just kind of disappointed with the menu flavor combinations etc. mostly fancy drinks but I'm at places like this for the good food.

Very small location though so I can see why their reservations fill up fast. read more

Our host, Amber, was warm and welcoming. We arrived for dinner not realizing our theater tickets needed to be on paper and Amber gracious and accommodating to help us. Andrea welcomes us with enthusiasm and just the right amount of attention. We had a large party of 7 and ordered family style. The black cod was done to perfection! The anchovy spaghetti, it's a must. Look past the anchovy and dive in. read more

No wolf :/ But actually, Mediocre food at best. I specifically had slow service, but I believe others around me got better service. I asked for medium rare steak but got rare, but I couldn't flag someone down to get it cooked more. My partner got the duck gnocchi and it was pretty flat - only flavor was the duck and some chili flakes. Really expensive and just not worth it. read more

Things I STRONGLY recommend: - Sea Wolf Sourdough - Yeasted Polenta Fritters - Pork Belly - New York Steak - Chocolate Amaretto Cake Let's talk about the fritters! As context, I HATE ricotta. I can taste that stuff in food like a needle in a haystack. But this whipped ricotta is something else. This whipped ricotta is sent by mother Teresa herself. If you don't get this then why did you even take the time to read this review? The chocolate cake is DENSE! It's very rich but the kind of rich that doesn't treat you like a poor person. LOVED this stuff. My tongue kept dreaming of this taste all night. My one narc on this place is the long wait. We had a reservation for 9pm, arrived at 8:50pm and didn't get sat until 9:20pm. Mind you, if we had spoken up earlier we would have been seated faster. Don't be passive aggressive and you will get sit faster. read more

We've eaten here a few times, yet this is my first review. We love having an ESR location in our neighborhood... I just wish we knew about the ESR Rewards program a year ago. Sign yourself up!! We've had delicious food and great service on every visit. From the cocktails and starters, through pasta and proteins with wine, and to dessert and final beverages... it's always been good. We usually get the bread, marinated olives and polenta fritters to start as they are some of our favorites. read more

Delicious experience here! I came here based off of a few recommendations from friends and was not disappointed. 1. Ambience is super nice, they have both really cute indoor and outdoor seating 2. Food was delicious! Definitely a little pricey, but nice for an occasion or every once in a while. We ordered the polenta fritters for an appetizer and it was sweet and delicious, kind of felt more like a dessert. For dinner I ordered the kabocha squash ravioli, and it was more filling than I expected. Overall really enjoyed dining here, a friend paid for dinner but I can imagine it wasn't cheap heads up! Also dining right now (December) you receive a cool red envelope that will give some sort of discount on a future meal at any Ethan Stowell restaurant which is pretty cool! read more

FANTASTIC experience all around! Seriously, this place is Devine. Staff are so friendly and helpful! I came with my family of 5 for my dad's birthday and did a dinner reservation a week in advance. We sat outside in the patio that was decorated with cute lights and they shielded the eating areas from the wind and rain. They have outdoor heaters so it was not cold at all. FOOD: everything was cooked to perfection! We were here for Seattle restaurant week so we ordered the set meals that was such a great deal. Here's what we ordered and I'll put a * by my favorites: -Sea Wolf Sourdough* -Smoked Cauliflower -Yeasted Polenta Fritters* -Rigatoni Amatriciana* -Scallops -Porchetta* -Ahi Tuna Crudo -Mixed Baby Lettuce We also got dessert off the SRW menu: Amaretto Cake and Pumpkin Panna Cotta - both were to die for! Even my traditional Chinese parents loved it and eat it till there was nothing less (it was not too sweet, just right). The staff were so kind to help celebrate my dad's birthday with a bonus bowl of pistachio ice cream with a candle on top :) We all agreed it was the best pistachio ice cream we have ever had! You will not be disappointed by this place :) Honestly nothing you order could be bad! Definitely try it out!! read more

What a great spot! Brought a group of 8 here, and had a great time trying different dishes family style. Some highlights: 1. Nice setting and vibe - booths in the middle (which seat 8) then tables on the side, also great setting outside once the weather gets warmer. Sidewalk seating in a quiet but not deserted area. 2. Food - everything really tasty, with different flavors. For starters, had the sourdough bread which cam with roasted garlic in oil; lettuces for some greenery and the fritters (all really good). For mains, had a selection of pastas with highlights including the elk ragu gnocchi, ravioli with snap peas, and a pesto pasta with some mint (off menu, but suggested when we wanted more options for our vegetarian friends). 3. Service - helpful and friendly with good recommendations on how much to order and highlights. I wish there was a spot like this in my neighborhood - it's the perfect regular date night spot with a good neighborhood feel with high quality food. read more

Amazing!! Ever since they've opened this last fall, this location was my favorite! Stunning inside then. And now stunning outside with patio/ private green house like seatings. Super cute. I came back on the hottest days ever of Seattle and requested outside seating when I made the reservation. They took out the covers of green houses ( the walks) so it was actually breezy. Not air conditioning like the inside but it was still nice. Came here on girls nights both times but this time was my birthday! Woot! We chatted, cheers and ate till way past the closing time! It was so comfortable and we still weren't the last people leaving. It's a great sign! Food Beet salad with ricotta: I love beets and especially Ethan stowell restaurants beets. It was great. Polenta Fritters with seasoned ricotta, fried sage, chestnut honey. Yumm! Asparagus ( grilled) with cure egg yolks: my favorite! It was soft, crispy and cheesy all at once. Main: Halibut!! Halibut with fennel brodo, asparagus, English peas and favs beans. So light and fluffy! It's a perfect summer dish. We got two orders: one with dairy free. Tagliatelle with olive oil, chili, ramps, parmesan . Another light pasta dish. Perfect spring/ summer. Tasty light fresh pasta and very green vegetarian sauce. And last but not least!! Duck!! Black garlic, carrot purée, charred strawberry jus: amazing! The best thing ever. I'd eat this everyday if I could. It was perfection! Delicious! And all that. Ended the night with pot de creme de coco! And a little birthday song. Every bite was a delight! A lot if champagne, food and fun!! Like normal pre Covid times. Us girls left very happy and celebrated!! read more

I was a little thrown off and worried I wouldn't like it because it had whey in it but it was a bourbon drink and I'm a bourbon girl so I had to get it. I thought the whey would make it creamy but it wasn't. As our server explain it just adds sour notes to the drink. For food we had the beets, yeasted polenta fritters, spaghetti nero, and the duck. Everything except the duck was great! Loves the citrus notes on the beats and the nice croutons adding texture contrast. The yeasted polenta fritters were amazing. They are crispy and delightful on the exterior but once you bite in soft and mmmm. The spaghetti nero blew me away. I thought it would be good but damn I loved it. I really appreciated the heat level on it. Please never take this off your menu!! The duck unfortunately was a big miss. The actual portion of the duck was meager and there were minimal sauce or sides. The duck was also barely warm. I'd skip that one. For dessert we got the budino which was creamy and light. Great ending to the meal. All in all a lovely meal aside from the one big miss. I will keep this on my list of places to try again. read more
