I can't remember what brought me to booking a reservation here for our family, but boy am I glad I…read moredid. I could just tell this restaurant was going to be a great experience from the moment we arrived. Friendly staff greeted us as we arrived and quickly showed us to our table. The atmosphere was warm and energetic, full of diners eating, drinking and enjoying conversation. After a quick scan of the menu, we quickly made our decision to order as many dishes as we could and share. We went for the beef tartare, Chinese scallion pancake, smoked tofu, kimchi trio, spicy rice cake, Chinese broccoli, "that" short rib steak, Kalbi burger, and the kombu cured mackerel. Everything was #brokedamout. The standouts to me were the scallion pancake, short rib, Kalbi burger and mackerel. Parking is available on the street and in private lots. We're already trying to figure out when we can get back here again before we leave. We'll certainly be back.

Service: 5+ stars for Donna who was our server. Ambiance:…read more4 stars- noise about average bit the tables were set far apart which was nice Food: 4.5 stars Street parking but we lucked out right in front. We got ordered the smoked tofu, green tea duck, spicy rice cakes, mackerel. The duck and rice cakes were my favorite. It was just enough for 3 of us (not big eaters). We also got a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration and we also orders the strawberry potentially cake. We would definitely come back to try more as the burger and short ribs looked good.

We came here tonight to celebrate my granddaughter's graduation from elementary school. Yeah, we…read morecelebrate every and any occasion life offers! Sushi Kappo Tamura is a small restaurant in Seattle that is great for date nights or celebrations big and small. Everything tastes awesome!! We started with some oysters, so plump and juicy and seasoned with a little soy sauce, then moved on the sushi and sashimi, midori egg and crab chawan mushi ( steamed custard ). Then I had chirashi, my grandson had yellowtail fish collar ( that 4 year-old kid finished it all! ) my son-in-law had the 5 course omakase, my daughter had sashimi and my granddaughter had nigiri, roll and geoduck. We polished it all and then desserts. Service was awesome, our main server was a young lady, on point for friendliness and efficiency. All staff worked well together, clearing dishes and bringing new ones. Dinner took 2 hours and made a dent in the credit card but was well worth it. The dining room and counter were completely full, so this small restaurant is much appreciated by locals. There is a parking lot next block of the restaurant.

Dinner from Nov, 2025 Writing an update as I went to Sushi…read moreKappa Tamura for an omakase meal, very different from the original post of Restaurant Week (a discounted meal event). Sushi Kappa Tamura continues to be reliable at all levels. Service was warm and friendly, despite tipping is auto-included. Perhaps because we are dining the omakase at the sushi counter, we received top-tier attention. I don't know. Reserving a seat wasn't stressful (unlike some places in Seattle). We had some quality seafood that we thoroughly enjoyed. The interior vibe is modern Japanese. We were amongst the last diners to leave, as we were having fun with the staff. We added two more pieces and desserts; they comp'd my dessert for my birthday. All the seafoods are amazingly fresh. Similar to the Newyorkturk with his Michelin approach, Omakase is the best way to eat sushi. Both desserts are excellent! The Food (all individual photos are included): - Fresh oysters - Matsutake mushroom soup with snow crab, fish, yu choy. So, so good on a cold night. - Madai - Japanese red sea bream - Hirame - Flounder from Korea - King salmon from southern Alaska - Marinated coho salmon belly - Amberjack - Masaba - Japanese mackerel - Hokkaido scallops - Marinated Maguaro - O-Toro - Seared O-Toro - Unagi - Seared Sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay (added) - Amaebi with uni and Fried shrimp head - Uni (added). He opened a new pack of Hokkaido uni to make my one piece of sushi even though this is the last order of the night. - Added dessert - Uji matcha ice cream, generously comp'd - Dessert - Fried mochi with adzuki beans

Revel is a great spot for a unique dining experience for modern Korean food. The service was…read morewonderful, and we enjoyed the dishes we ordered. We got the short rib wontons, kimchi pancake, Dungeness crab noodle, and Korean fried chicken. My favorites were the short rib wontons and Korean fried chicken! The wontons were in a delicious chili sauce, and the fried chicken was crisp and marinated well. Personally I felt like the Dungeness crab noodle was just okay, I wish there were more crab pieces. Portions for the dishes overall are pretty small, so the restaurant is pretty pricey overall. For dessert we ordered the basque hojicha cheesecake and really liked it! The cheesecake had a nutty flavor and good texture with the crust. Our server kindly provided us an extra dessert, the panna cotta. This dessert was really light and refreshing - a perfect complement. Overall I really enjoyed the experience at revel. There's a couple standout dishes and service was great. The menu is a bit pricy, but I'm interested in checking out the Sunday night dinner pre fixe meal.

Food: Everything was slightly sweet but had good flavor. My favorite was the Napa cabbage, it had a…read moreslightly smoky taste. The Dungeness crab noodles were the most disappointing because the whole dish was too sweet and the minimal amount of crab was too salty. The lemonade was too sour. Service: The service was great and everyone was attentive. Ambiance: The restaurant is very hipster and invites a younger crowd.

Canlis has long held a reputation as Seattle's premier dining destination, so it's impossible not…read moreto arrive with high expectations. Fortunately, the restaurant delivers on nearly every level. Of course, it's an expensive dining experience, but compared to several other high-end meals I've had in Seattle recently, this one felt worth every penny. There was a bit of chaos when we first arrived due to multiple large wedding parties waiting in the lobby, and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed and unsure of where everyone should go. Fortunately, that was quickly forgotten once we were seated at our table overlooking one of the most stunning restaurant views in Seattle. The dining experience is refreshingly simple: make three choices and Canlis takes care of the rest. The result is a beautiful six-course meal that leaves you full but not stuffed. Each course felt thoughtful, showcasing the simplicity, beauty, and precision of the food. Our service was excellent and absolutely justified the included 20% gratuity. I only wish some of Seattle's other restaurants that automatically add 22% could deliver service that comes close to what we experienced here. My selections were the sashimi, lamb, and rhubarb courses, and all were delicious. That said, my favorite dessert of the evening was actually the apricot dessert. All four of us agreed it was the standout sweet course, and I'd highly recommend choosing it if it's available during your visit. Other highlights included the bread service with butter and miso caramel, which was memorable enough to deserve special mention. The lamb was beautifully cooked and paired wonderfully with the fig accompaniment. I can't wait to return to Canlis. Yes, it's expensive, but it's one of those rare dining experiences where the cost feels completely justified. It's a shame Michelin doesn't currently come to Seattle, because Canlis deserves the recognition.

It has been a few weeks since we finally went to Canlis for the first time after 12 years living in…read morethe area and this place is still on my mind! And I'm not one to let the supposed best restaurant in Seattle death grip that title without my critical personal analysis. So what did I really think after reading others' reviews? Oh, let me tell you. Reservations can be hard to come by. To get a babysitter and an available reservation to align took us many attempts but alas we finally did it. First up for me was: Will the ticketless valet REALLY be what it says it is (and what is DOESN'T say it is?)? By the end of our visit--and after curiously inquiring how the valet's do it--we were impressed! They do it; they did it; you have to try it and I will explain no mysteries for that ruins part of the joy of this place. Next up: the surprising and gorgeous story behind this place. I mean, go ahead and read up on it. Or preferably, my advice: don't. Let that be part of the allure and your journey; allow for the staff to tell you. That was my experience and I delighted in the surprise and joy of it. Not to mention the intrigue of...: why, is that the current owner, son/grandson? Touching tables? Checking in on clientele? Yes, yes, I think it is! In the finer details I noted homage to heritage AND the PNW in the pale mauve/lavender table cloth, a salt dish with a weight & story despite its minute size (do not steal to the tune of a $450 charge on your bill, but do attempt to lift it!), and evergreens from out the window views to being decor to your dishes. All staff on point when you move about. Piano covers of modern songs looped in to the restrooms. A cozy fire. A gorgeous view so quintessential to the area. Cocktails, a starter, a 3 piece first course to REVEL in (think: flavor + texture + temperature = mind palate JOY gears spinning in ecstasy!). I took no photos because I wanted to be so PRESENT for this journey and I have no regrets on that; I want you to also be open to the surprises of this meal! There are a thousand places for a hundred people to find dissatisfaction in a fine dining meal and I did not have much to come up with; rather: I was quite pleased with my experience! And I would withhold praise if I could find true and valid reason, I do have grumpy east coast roots after all! Our server Mac was wonderful! Informative, knowledgeable, kind, smart, helpful, personable, laughed at my joke of "what first course, we never got it!" all the things we needed in a waiter! We swapped restaurant and food recommendations back and forth from Maui to PNW (quite an added bonus when we find a waiter as food curious and open to sharing and learning as us!). I couldn't believe we were there for nearly 3 hours of fine dining because we love good food and can hoover it quite readily but we were having so much fun that time just flew by. Say yes to the salad; it's not only a historical throwback, it's also a delicious smattering of flavors! Say yes to wine, dessert, coffee and also, if so kindly and rarely offered: a visit to see the kitchen in action! And as always, be respectful of the hardworking crew that brings your experience to being: it takes the effort of so many to knock a meal out of the park and as I understand it this place does it meal after meal table after table night after night--a true feat in this day and age! Was this place worth the hype? Were most to ALL bites fantastic? Was the head chef down to earth, kind, relatable, talented, and worthwhile of this Seattle location staple, name, and locale "rank"? Yes, Chef!!

In a row of 20+ food trucks I made the unfortunate mistake of choosing this place over the others…read more The owner/chef who takes orders and also cooks had the weirdest attitude. We asked some very basic and common questions (like how big is the portion) and got eyes rolled at us. Grits were flavorless, shrimp was okay, bacon was the only "seasoning" in the dish. For $22 with tax, it was extremely subpar. To top it off, the owner laughed and scoffed when we didn't leave him a tip after giving literally zero customer service. Judging by reviews he has been behaving like this for years though. Not worth the trouble.

Ultimately figured it was a pretty average experience that left a bit to be desired. They raised prices in the middle of the day, scratched out on the side of the menu. Return of the Mac - I thought there was an overuse of sauce which drenched the entire dish in a honey mustard bbq flavor and didn't allow me to appreciate the mac & cheese to the fullest. I also found a soft bone in my pulled pork which I suppose is edible, but not something I was expecting nor looking forward to which took away from the actual pork I was expecting and would have wanted. Pulled Pork Sandwich - a little dry but other than that, a pretty decent sandwich. Nothing spectacular but a good bite.
