Reviews summary
Nestled in the heart of North Seattle, this eclectic restaurant offers a unique fusion of tapas with American and Asian influences.

Just wow! A little jewel of a restaurant in the heart of Green Lake. All the tapas and pinchos we had were great! The smoked waygu skewer was fantastic served with the smoke in a bottle with the skewer. The meatballs on a bed of polenta and ricotta was fantastic. Crab/caviar pinchos was great as was the white boquero anchovy pinchos and we've been to San Sebastian in Spain and done a pinchos tour so we know! The wine... View all feedback.
What Spoon Man dislikes about Tapas Lab:
Our dining experience tonight was extremely disappointing. It took nearly an hour to receive our food, which was both bland and served in small portions (think crostini size for a whole tapas). I don't mind paying more for smaller servings if the flavor is good, but everything on our plates tasted like it had no seasoning at all - not even salt. Dry, flavorless, and overall a bad meal. The beef skewer was small and c... View all feedback.

If I could give the service zero stars, I would. It took literally 54 minutes for our food (four small plates) to come out. This was the second time we tried it, after having a similar experience the first time around. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, shame on us.Also, check out the photo of the tuna roll where’s the tuna?!??
Cheese plate, Caviar Deviled Eggs and a red wine flight. Along with Smoked Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and the Wagyu Sliders. Service and food were amazing!
It’s a cute place for drinking! You can make your own flight! The food are really good but a bit pricey ?Recommend caviar deviled egg, bulgogi pincho, shrimp pincho, foie gras torchon. Especially bulgogi pincho, it’s really great!No dress code, not easy to find a parking. Easy to reserve a table for four!
Cute spot to hang out with friends. They have a good selection of wines. And 3-4 vegetarian dishes on the menu making it perfect for my group.
So. Tapas, classic small plates, big spending. Well that’s true . This particular place is a”fusion” spot, which bring tapas “from Spain” with American and Asian influence together f.. I’m still trying to find what is what, yet I had a very pleasant experience . Some of the dishes like the foie gras sliders were absolutely amazing, while the prosciutto dish was very confusing “my mouth was” . All around a great spot. If you want to “spend” some quality time with friends .

We went there for SRW. CTF board has a fresh taste but the amount was smaller than expected. The Eggsult is amazing. The staff were friendly. The only thing we do not like is that the restroom is too far away. You need to ask the waitress for the keys before going which is really inconvenient.
Incredible we got the truffle gnocchi and the sliders and the meatballs and the seared scallops and everything was SO GOOD. Like unbelievably good. Go here. Order everything.
Yesterday my friend and I had the Marcona Almonds, Deviled Egg, Roasted Cauliflower, and Truffle Gnocchi with Sangrias and a bottle of the Rosé Brute Sparkling. It was super good!
We had a great experience exploring the menu. Some of our favorites were the deviled egg, Waygu skewer, and cauliflower, but everything was delicious. They only serve beer and wine (sangria too), no liquor. The service was decent. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating (in bubbles). We would definitely come back, especially if the menu changes to try more tasty dishes. Cheers!
The food was delicious, especially the sliders. The pinchos were a good size and the sangria was very nice. The atmosphere was great and the service was friendly. I will definitely be back.
