Iconiq - Seattle

The place is tiny and unassuming. I was surprised that the chef both attended front of house and the (open) kitchen. The food and wine were delicious. The octopus was tender and perfectly seasoned. The fish main was perfectly cooked, although I felt the endives were a little too bitter. Dessert was light and refreshing. Food choices are a bit limited, but everything tried was really good. Service was friendly and attentive. So why 4/5? I think some kinks still need to be worked out. It would make sense to hire at least one waitstaff to better tend to the customers. Will be back!

New Year's Eve Dinner last night. Wonderful tasting menu. Well composed with a balanced range of flavors, portion sizes were generous, black truffle add-on was reasonably priced, and the desert is one of my favorites because it was light, not too sweet, refreshing and well composed to the eye. Finally, the price to value for this meal was the tops in Seattle. We surveyed the various tasting menus for the New Year and none came in at a better value. Oh yea, don't forget the killer views of the city. Iconiq is located in the Mt Baker neighborhood so it's a bit off the beaten path but I would recommend it strongly.

Great dinner! We went there with friend’s recommendation for a celebration and it didn’t disappoint. Seasonal menu’s on-point and their infamous truffle risotto was a must. We hadn’t had a luck for last 6mos or so finding a restaurant worth paying for, and they were definitely worth it!! Cozy and elegant atmosphere, great service, and AMAZING food. Definitely will be back for more.

I dined here a few years ago for my anniversary with my girlfriend. We reserved a table a few weeks in advance for a window seat. After arriving and sitting down, we were asked to move from the window seat to another table for another party. At this point my partner and I should have just left. This left a poor taste for us and literally ruined our night. Food was mediocre and staff was not helpful at all. Staff did not do anything to remedy the situation and did not care that we had to move from our seats after sitting down and starting to order our meals. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It was literally the worst dining experience of my life. I warn all my friends and family not to come here. Shame on you.

Absolutely wonderful spot in Seattle. It is so cozy with a great view and atmosphere, but the food is what really makes this restaurant stand out. I was so surprised by the innovative combinations of food served, and everything was incredible. I will definitely be dining here again!
