Was B Jams at List a mag?

Happy hour until 6:30 PM! That's the only time I come here, so I can't speak for other hours haha. Sometimes I even start with happy hour at Umi and then come here for round two. Half off food items? Yes, please! The pasta and salads are pretty good. As for the drinks, I'm not too sure, but I'm just here to enjoy myself. If I'm looking for great drinks, I’ll go to Roccos. Overall, I'd rate it as follows: Food: 7/10,... View all feedback.

What Jonny dislikes about List:

Tried List Restaurant for their happy hour.Interestingly, they ask for ID when you enter. Happy hour is 50% off everything on the food menu. Beware, tip options start at 20%. Plum blossom $10.00 USD) Grilled octopus salad, citrus emulsion $10.00 USD) my favourite dish of the night. Octopus was tender and nicely charred. Handmade gnocchi, black truffle cream $10.00 USD) gnocchi was soft, not too rich with the slightes... View all feedback.

Happy Hour up to 630! Otherwise, because I'm only coming here during this time. Sometimes even try a round 1 HH at Umi and then skip for about 2 HH here. Half the food? Sign me! Pretty good pasta and salads. Drink? Not so sure, but whatever I'm here. If I want good drinks, I'll go to Roccos. Food: 7/10 Service: 5/10 Experience: 6/10 Value: Happy Hour Value 8/10

Had a fantastic dinner here. Great tapas sized portions let you try several things. They don't take reservations, so get there early. Great date spot.

If you going for the happy hour, go early as the place gets packed very fast. Friendly service staff who tries hard to fit everyone in. Food were tasty, looks like they have a legumes and beans theme going on with the dishes while we were there. My only negative about this place is the poor lighting. Most tables are only lighted by a small candle. A number of their customers were using their phone to have a look at the dishes when it arrives.

We enjoy really happy hours on the list. We usually order 3-4 dishes as they come in small portions. All foods are 50% off, beer is $5, cocktails are $8.

This is a fantastic little place for drinks and food. The menu is limited and quite straightforward, but the flavors, presentation, and prices are incredible. The drinks are imaginative and one-of-a-kind. The happy hour is absolutely unbeatable. I found myself visiting several times during my stay in the city and I will definitely return in the future. If I lived here, I’d certainly dine there at least once a week, no doubt about it.

Plum blossom $10.00 USD) Grilled octopus salad, citrus emulsion $10.00 USD) my favourite dish of the night. Octopus was tender and nicely charred. Handmade gnocchi, black truffle cream $10.00 USD) gnocchi was soft, not too rich with the slightest truffle note. Seared ahi tuna, lentils, ginger sauce $10.00 USD) disappointing. Lentils and spinach were bland. Ahi tuna was overcooked and flavourless. Local fresh clams, white wine broth, plum tomato puree $10.00 USD) decent portion but a couple clams weren't washed properly. Broth lacked depth.Decent but nothing to warrant a return visit.

Dined in on a Thursday night with a friend for the late night happy hour. Our server, Sandy, is delightful extraordinarily attentive. Her professionalism being personable was the highlight of the eveningThe Happy Hour food list being 50% off standard prices is fantastic. I had the Rigatoni with wild mushroom cream minced garlic. It's good, but it would be even better with the seasoning punched up a bit more sauceThree stars for the atmosphere solely because it is too dimly lit for my liking. The ambiance is nice, a lounge-like feel. However, the darkness made it difficult to read the menuThere is a 3% BOH [back of house] fee automatically added to the bill. When paying, the default option to tip is 22% with buttons on either side of 20% or 25%. A custom tip option is also available

The only thing that really stood out as fantastic was the truffle gnocchi! I’d go back in a heartbeat for that gnocchi. Super creamy and the balance of truffle is superb. We tried the meatballs and salmon, but they were pretty basic and nothing to write home about.

The food at List was definitely the highlight of our experience. The menu had a nice variety of dishes to choose from and everything we ordered was well prepared and delicious. However, the reason we went to List was for happy hour and unfortunately, the ambiance wasn't quite suited for it. The lighting was quite dim and the space felt a bit cramped, especially since we were a large group of 13 people. Not the convivial milieu we were expecting.Despite this, the servers were fantastic and really did their best to make us feel comfortable. They were very accommodating and attentive to our needs, even going so far as to gift us a complimentary bottle of wine. We appreciated their efforts and thought it was a really nice touch.Overall, I would recommend List to anyone who enjoys good food in a cozy atmosphere. However, I would caution against bringing a large group for happy hour as the space might be a bit cramped. That said, I would definitely come back to List if I was in the area, but perhaps with just one or two other people.

I visited the restaurant for the Paris 1906 menu, and the food was a mixed experience. Some dishes were excellent (my favorite was the halibut), but overall, everything felt a bit too salty. Unfortunately, one of the staff members was coughing continuously throughout the evening. At one point, they had to step away from our table while going through the wine menu to cough. I understand that illnesses happen, but it was a bit off-putting.

Wonderful place. Intimate atmosphere. Great service. Not crowded. And the food was amazing. Truly memorable experience. Everything we had was delicious. Meatballs. Gnocchi. Bacon wrapped prawns. And chocolate lava cake!

Foodie heaven. Definitely a repeat. Dark and sexy ambience. Glowing (alabaster?? bar, red Venetian glass chandeliers, candlelight...service was excellent. Had clams, octopus salad, salmon and steak. Really great food. Great place for date night. Happy Hour 4 to 630p, and a late HH starts at 9p. Plus HH all day Sunday and Monday. Food is half off. And house wines are only 6$. Just wow. The only downside is parking in Belltown.

The service was excellent! The decor was lovely and the place was very clean. The happy hour special with half-price tapas is a great deal. However, I'm a bit unsure about paying full price for the regular menu items, even though that's just how it is...

I decided to check out List Restaurant during their happy hour. It's located next to Umi Sake House and Roquette Cocktails Spirits. I visited on a Monday night...

Wow! My wife and I had an absolutely amazing experience here. The atmosphere is a bit noisy and the tables are close together, but...

It feels like a store commonly found in Seongsu-dong in Korea. The food was burnt or tough. If you want to feel a hip feeling, it's okay to visit. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Excellent service, with excellent food. The meatballs were tender and slightly spicy. The sauce was very mild and not thick. The char on the Caeser salad gave a perfect amount of bitterness to go with the bright dressing and lemon juice. The gnocchi was good, loaded with truffle flavor. The only negative thing to say was the crouton on the salad was a bit hard. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Gnocchi with Black Truffle Cream, Spicy Meatballs
