Only two dishes—the Brussels sprouts and the portobello French dip—were worth eating; the rest were bland at best and unpleasant at worst. The black bean burger, risotto, and chickpea panisse were deeply disappointing, and the gluten-free pita was undercooked with an odd, off-putting flavor. Poorly executed food is frustrating but forgivable. I can forgive a missed dish or two. What I can’t overlook is the consistently unpleasant attitude of our server, the lack of attention to our table, and the fact that our food arrived in waves over a 15-minute span. The lack of basic hospitality completely overshadowed the meal. Unfortunately, neither the food nor the service have given us any reason to return. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Dinner

Some people had wine, which they enjoyed. Some people ordered cocktails- like the rosemary lemon drop cocktail, which I highly recommend. There was one person who ordered the pomegranate shrub, a non alcoholic beverage which she enjoyed as well. Some people also ordered beer, which they enjoyed. We all shared the yam fries, the Brussels sprouts, the Mediterranean dips with bread and the spinach and artichoke dip with bread. They were delicious! They ordered a second round for the table. I got a cup of the black eyed pea soup. That was hearty and delicious! Then we all ordered our main courses. Some of us ordered pizza while others ordered the larger plates like the Portabella Wellington, and the pasta dishes. Everyone said they enjoyed their food but as we had eaten too many appetizers, we couldn’t finish our dinners. We ended up bringing back leftovers. At the end of the evening, we ended up having coconut cake, preordered by the bride and made by the restaurant. It was not overly sweet but delicious! Overall, the food and drinks are wonderful, the ambiance is great, and the service is excellent! I highly recommend this place if you are visiting or if you live in Seattle/surrounding areas and need a good place to eat!

Service: Not up to the mark onion rings were over, not swapped for some fries on request. Also we were celebrating a birthday but the server didn't care to wish or be kind/friendly in general. Food: The Mediterranean platter of Fava bean and other dips was really very good. The fried mushrooms on the waffles were tooo fried. The waffles themselves were pretty good. The tomato starter which literally just fried tomatoes they should just take that off the menu it was so bad. And partially I blame ourselves for ordering it we were just intrigued to see how such simple ingredients can make a good dish. But epic fail. Strawberry cocktail was okay too nothing exceptional. Overall half the items were good. Maybe we went in with a lot more expectations and were celebrating so were a bit let down. But the place def has potential, so we might give it another shot.

While the service was a bit slow, it wasn’t a major issue for us. However, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. The black bean burger, though flavorful, was marred by the kimchi slaw placed directly on the patty, which made it a bit soggy. The drinks tasted good, although there was a mix-up with our order—we asked for a mimosa with lemonade but received plain lemonade instead.
