This tour is an absolute must and a PERFECT curation of the best bites at Pike Place Market! We…read morespent a Saturday morning taking this tour and were blown away by how chill and relaxed it was (especially during a busy Saturday crowd!). They set you up really well with minimalist ear pieces which makes it SO nice. No one has to raise their voice, you can control your own volume and you aren't stuck in too tight of a group - you just flow through the market. Chip, our TREMENDOUS guide, was a fountain of fascinating information about the Market's history. We had been there before, but the backstory of the market made our appreciation and enjoyment of the experience exponentially better. On top of it all, the selection of bites are absolutely perfect. Each one is top notch and the perfect balance of flavor and amount of food. You will definitely get enough to eat, but won't feel like you've had too much or not gotten a variety. We LOVED this tour and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a truly well designed tour and perfect Seattle experience.

She absolutely loved it!

I had reached out to Almquist about holding our wedding in their beautiful space. I had to reach…read moreout via email, phone, and the Knot website before receiving a response. Not great, but not a deal breaker as I'm sure they are busy with inquiries. What was even more bizarre is that on Saturday they sent me their pricing which included capacity limits listing 250 ppl as the most (for full venue, including Barrel Room). On Monday when they responded again, I was told they only hold events with 60 or fewer guests and best of luck in my search. I guess I'm glad there was no need to pursue this further because this mess of communication would not bode well for planning any event, especially a wedding.

The venue is enchanting and perfect for a small wedding. Unfortunately, venue management is rude,…read moredishonest, and very difficult to work with. Table Catering Co. has an exclusive catering contract and manages the Almquist venue. As long as Brooke and the Table team are managing Almquist, I would NEVER recommend it. It was clear early on that the venue's mismanagement was going to be an issue, but we loved the Almquist Winery so much that we decided to do everything in our power to make it work. We hired one of Almquist's "preferred" wedding planners in the hopes that they would have a positive working relationship. Unfortunately, as time went on our wedding planners repeatedly told us that Table's administrative practices were "horrendous" and "unacceptable". Eventually it got so bad that our planners (their PREFERRED planners) said they "were severing all future ties". Table did so many rude and unprofessional things that I can't name them all and stay in the character limits for this review. They didn't show up for scheduled meetings and tastings. They sent us invoices with an illegal additional 2.2% tax charge (King County tax rate is 10.25%. They tried to charge us 12.44%). After months of reaching out and working together (and Jenny confirming our date), they made us change the date of our wedding because they didn't want to book a Saturday for less than 80 people. After several rounds of invoicing from Jenny, Brooke added an additional $1,200 to our venue costs. Worst of all, a mere 20 days before our wedding, Brooke refused to honor our executed contract and tacked on an additional $1,000+. When we asked them to honor their written estimates and contracts along the way, their response was, essentially, if you don't want to pay the higher price then cancel your wedding because another bride will pay us more. As our wedding date got closer and they kept finding new charges to add to our invoices and signed contracts we felt extorted. We had to either pay their extra fees or cancel our wedding at the last minute. In total we paid $11,718.59 to Almquist/Table for a 30 person wedding on a Sunday evening. This broke down as follows: $400 for a 3 person tasting; $2,325.00 for 3 food stations and 3 Hors d'Oeuvres; $1,670 for service staff (1 bartender, 2 servers, and 3 chefs); $3,300 for the event space (greenhouse and restaurant); $250 for a cleaning fee; $870 in bar charges; $1,052.29 in taxes; and $1,851.30 in mandatory administrative fees. The mandatory administrative fees are described in the contract as "Admin fee includes all gratuity and service charges". Despite paying over $3,500 in wages and mandatory gratuities for 5 service staff, on the day of our wedding we received terrible service and the staff actively solicited additional tips from our guests. The bartender went so far as to put a tip jar front and center on the counter and place a $20 bill slung over the side to encourage our guests to tip more. It was incredibly tacky.

Chef Traci kicked off our morning class with freshly baked pastries as we discussed what we might want to cook that day. Then we headed into Pike Place Market, stopping at multiple businesses to meet the owners and try their delicious products. I've been to Pike Place many times, and there were a handful of shops I was experiencing for the first time. It really felt like we got VIP treatment because of the friendships Traci has built over the years. We picked out a beautiful King salmon and halibut cheeks at Pike Place Fish Market, and I even got to throw and catch a fish! Traci was knowledgeable and shared Pike Place Market's complex history along the way. Once we returned to Atrium Kitchen with our ingredients, we created two beautiful mains with the salmon and halibut, plus a couple of sides with the seasonal market vegetables we had picked up. Then it was time to dig in and enjoy our feast while chatting with Chef Traci and the other guests. There is something very special about being in Pike Place Market early in the morning before the throngs of tourists arrive. I highly recommend the morning tour and cooking class. It felt like a perfect way to experience Seattle's most famous attraction.
