    View of the marina from the interior of the restaurant.
    Ian O.

    It's been a few years since I last dined at Palisade. I'll start with the good: the restaurant location is beautiful. It's located right up on the water and a large majority (if not all) of the tables have some sort of water view and the nearby docked yachts. The waitress was very friendly. The interior has a nice water feature though much of the restaurant could use a refresh (i.e., the carpeting, bathroom, etc.) I ordered my steak medium and it came out medium well. Not a super big deal if you exclude the fact that this is a more upscale restaurant with prices that correspond to this. I also noticed that the complimentary butter and bread wasn't a thing here unless you specifically ask. Overall, I just wasn't as impressed as I thought I would have been with such a nice location and view. My wife ordered the Mediterranean Chicken and though tasty, the portion size was small. The mocktails were good (according to her) and my Manhattan was alright. Overall, I appreciate the good service from the waitress (and we tipped accordingly), the food was mediocre, and the entire experience was slightly disappointing. I do appreciate that there was not an automatically applied gratuity (they only do this with parties of 8 or more).

    One of my favorite dinner spots in Seattle. The crab dip is one of my favorite foods ever and I get it every time I'm here. The view of the water is amazing here and coming here during Christmas time is my favorite when they have all the lights and decor. My most recent trip here was awesome, I went with my family and had the pleasure of having the server Leon. He was such a nice guy and had a great sense of humor that made my family and I laugh. The food was amazing once again and it was a great sunny day.

    Food - We came for restaurant week, so we both started off with the clam chowder. Good portion and delicious. They gave us bread & butter to start, so I actually dipped some bread into the clam chowder which made it kinda nicer. I had the sirloin. Don't judge but I like my steak well done. I actually asked for med-well because I get embarrassed asking for well done, but it actually came well done. The potatoes were really good, but the asparagus was just ok. For dessert I had the creme brulee. The sugar topping was kind of thick which made the whole dessert really sweet. It was nice that it had fruit on top because that helped cut into the sweetness. I tried a bite of my husband's key lime pie, but I don't really like key lime anyways so it was not for me. Service - Excellent. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. He even mentioned the smoker for the drinks wasn't working well so he could still bring the smokey drink, but it might not live up to expectations. Totally appreciate that! They also boxed up our food for us at the end of the night. Ambiance - upscale. Good for fancy dates and big occasions. Tons of large parties when we went. The location is beautiful! I think you can also rent out the sunroom, which we didn't sit in. The sun was setting while we were there and it was very romantic. The entrance also has a pond with a waterfall.

    Palisade is such a beautiful place to celebrate a special occasion. The views are stunning, especially overlooking the water and marina, which makes the whole experience feel really special. The service was great and the staff made the evening feel memorable. I celebrated an anniversary here and it was the perfect setting for it. Between the scenery, the atmosphere, and the attentive service, it made for a really lovely celebration

    Seafood tower. Not good
    Margot C.

    We came here last night to celebrate my birthday. What a mistake. Both service and food were not good. I made a reservation here which they called to confirm. I put in both the reservation notes and also told them when they called that we needed a high chair for my toddler. When we got to the table there wasn't one and the hostess seemed annoyed when I told her we needed one and said she would see if they had one. Service was insanely slow from the beginning to the end. It took forever to put in our orders and food was slow to arrive. I finally asked after having been there for close to an hour and a half where the kids meals were for the 2 kids in the party and they said would rush them out because they hadn't put for them to come out earlier. The kids were starving at that point. It should be common sense to bring out the food for kids earlier. We got the seafood tower which wasn't good. It was supposed to be for 2 but came with half of a lobster tail, 2 shrimp, some poke, 1 crab leg, and 2 oysters and mussels. For the price, the portion was very small and nothing was remarkable. We also got the yellowfin sushi roll which was fine but didn't have much flavor. I got the Caesar and wasn't a fan. The dressing was watery and I didn't like the peppery dressing they also put on it. The rest of the table got the apple Gorgonzola salad and said the dressing was overly sweet. The entrees came out at the almost 2 hour mark which was ridiculously slow given that the restaurant was maybe half full. The food was fine but lacked flavor. The crab cake we added on wasn't crispy at all and was kind of mushy. Desserts also weren't great. My brother in law ordered an affogato and was served a gravy boat full of espresso and a massive bowl of ice cream, which is not at all how it should come. For a fine dining restaurant, nothing was well executed. He also had ordered a Coke and only got one refill despite being there for almost 3 hours. We had to ask for the refill too and the waitress seemed annoyed for us asking. Definitely stay far away from here. Dinner was around $900 for 4 adults and 2 kids and was absolutely not worth it. What a disappointing birthday.

    TDLR: Great place for a celebratory dinner. Not too pricey. $4 / oyster. One complaint is my 10oz ribeye came with about 3 oz of fat. Just personal preference. Service was fast and friendly. Great picturesque, indoor water feature that flows through the front and middle of the restaurant. Food was tasty but I wouldn't say it was anything I haven't tasted before. At a higher end restaurant, a different or exciting taste is something I look forward to, whether that's in the main dishes, appetizers or sides. Didn't get to try dessert because we had a show to catch. Would be interested to see what those taste like !

    Service was definitely 5 stars. Our server, Justin, was fabulous. Let me just state that at the top. Made a reservation here for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. When submitting the reservation online, I noted that it was their 50th wedding anniversary and that we'd prefer a table by the window if possible. I later called and verbally confirmed the reservation and reiterated it was their 50th wedding anniversary. One of the reasons I booked here was because of what they supposedly do for anniversaries. Well, that part was a bust. No acknowledgment of their anniversary - their 50th anniversary- at all. Not when we checked in, not anywhere on the table, and our server didn't know until we told him. When we arrived, I noted that we were ok waiting if it meant a table by the window. We were seated shortly after and did score a great table. Our server seemed to think we were a different reservation, commenting "Welcome back!" when it was our first time there. The menu is on the simple side. This a basic fancy seafood and steak restaurant. This isn't where you'll find a new twist on something classic, a fancy foam, etc. The cocktails we had were great. The seafood was definitely fresh. But all of our entrees were overcooked. Since I had the salmon, I didn't mind (I actually like it cooked a little longer). But for a wagyu steak? Not ok - especially when it was ordered medium rare and delivered well done. The server and manager, however, were incredibly nice about it. Everything was wonderfully taken care of - above and beyond. But there was something with the kitchen and/or timing going on. Everything was good and tasty. It was especially great that the teens found their meals enjoyable. My parents were overall happy with the experience too. (But I could tell they were hoping for something a little more on the next level.) The ambiance is nice. A little basic. The big thing is the view. And it's a nice view (but nothing all that amazing). So overall, it's overhyped, but the service is outstanding. And we did have an enjoyable meal and experience.

    We ate at Palisade on Thanksgiving, but most of the dishes we ordered are also on their regular menu. The restaurant location is slightly off the beaten path, tucked away near the marina in Magnolia. It is right on the water and the view of West Seattle, Downtown and the marina is great. We even saw an otter and some different sea birds while dining! The restaurant is well decorated and feels slightly upscale to some other seafood restaurants in town, so this is a great option for special occasions or nights where you want something slightly more polished that a casual sit down. The service was great and even on a busy holiday day the staff was attentive and was always on top of refilling our waters or checking in on us. They were also very timely with bringing out the next course soon after we finished the other. For the food, the crab dip is a must get! It was the favorite thing we tried. The lobster bisque was also delicious. I had the seafood trip while my husband had the surf and turf. The seafood trio was okay. The crab cake was good, but the salmon and shrimp were a little underwhelming. The filet my husband had though was delicious and cooked perfectly and both dishes came with delicious mashed potatoes and vegetables. We also added on the Beecher's lobster mac and cheese which was delicious! We will definitely return to Palisade in the future.

    When you enter this restaurant it is beautiful! Definitely a lovely dining experience. We were a large party of about 15. Our server was excellent and attentive. The appetizers and main dishes were delicious. It is a little pricey, but I'd definitely recommend.

    Sake Marinated Black Cod - Seattle Restaurant Week
    Carol C.

    I love coming here for Seattle Restaurant Week for the good food and value. The 3 course comes with delicious New England Clam Chowder or Caesar Salad, but I always get the chowder, always. For entrees, we got the Prime Rib, Shellfish Linguine and my favorite, the Sake Marinated Black Cod, which comes with a shrimp cake, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini ribbons with coconut lemon grass curry. We all enjoyed our meals. Dessert options included Key Lime Pie or Creme Brulee. Hubby wanted the Chocolate Turtle Cake from the dessert menu, which we ordered instead for an additional charge. This is definitely a place we visit when we're looking for a nice meal out or celebrating a special occasion. The food is always tasty, but the service can be spotty with food sequencing and being served luke-warm coffee. Once addressed, it was quickly remedied. Even with the minor mishaps, we plan to return.

    Dungeness Crab Dip
    Aaron B.

    Food was the most delicious food I've ever had. The Caesar salad comes in cheese wafer bowl, which adds additional flavor. The crab dip with the bread has the perfectly subtle crab flavor within the creamy dip. The Cod is absolutely fantastic. It has crunchy crab cake bit below the cod, which gives it a unique texture. Lobster ressotto is also great, and pairs with every menu item. Service was great too. Just the right amount of check-ins during a dinner. Highly recommend when celebrating a special occasion. Ambiance was great too. The view of the yacht club is spectacular, and mixed with the live music they sometimes have is to kill for. Honestly, probably the most worth-the-price-tag high cuisine restaurant in all of Seattle.

    Food was delicious and plentiful. Our server Leon was attentive knowledgeable of menu and funny! We were there celebrating a graduation. We were all happy with our food of choices, the crab dip is the best! Scenery of Marina is beautiful.

    Had a reservation here on New Year's Eve for a date and what a treat! I really loved the layout of the whole place, it made me and my partner so great, we had a view of the water and it was night time so it was very pretty. The servers were super attentive and some were bilingual which was a fun surprise, you definitely pay for your experience in this restaurant and it was worth every penny of ours. The food was excellent, I finished my plate very quickly which is surprising since I typically take my time to savor up the dish! The desserts were great too and definitely would try any of them. Would definitely come back here for another date and make such pleasant memories again.

    Oysters Were Cute, But Auntie Needed a MEAL…read more It was my last night in Seattle and I was craving seafood, so I stopped by the spot I went to the night before to partake in their oyster happy hour. Very cute. Very sophisticated. Very "rich auntie enjoying oysters on a work trip." But who was I kidding? Those oysters were NEVER going to fill me up. So I got back to my hotel, got comfortable, and did what needed to be done: ordered Mama's Crawfish and Seafood House. I went with the fried catfish and shrimp basket, which came with fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. Now the catfish and shrimp?! Mama did her BIG ONE. Everything was seasoned perfectly, fried well, and exactly what I needed to close out my Seattle trip. I thoroughly enjoyed both. The sides, however, didn't move me. I love fries BAD, but these weren't amazing enough for me to stuff myself when I had perfectly good catfish and shrimp sitting there. I didn't bother with the coleslaw or hushpuppies either. I know where my priorities lie. Overall, Mama's absolutely satisfied the seafood craving. Next time I'm in Seattle, I'd definitely skip the delivery and go dine in so I can get the full experience. Because apparently oysters and wine are just my pre-dinner now.

I went with the special Papa Reis Tuna Patties and the housemade soda which was a white peach, lemon and mint. My biggest tip for you at Pidgin is if you see a special on the board order it! Absolutely loved the mtabbal went so beautifully with the sumac onions, cucumber. Couldn't stop eating the sauce!! Lots of seating inside and out. When you arrive there are menus for you to look at while in line. place you order and the counter and pay they'll give you a number to bring to your table. Staff is always friendly and helpful from the person taking your order to the team bringing the plates to your table. Dishes are imaginative, packed with flavor. Not sure how good I'll do at making my way through the menu cause I almost always order what is on the special board. Lots of parking near by, open and bright space. And not far from the water in case you feel like going for a walk after definitely will be back!
