We ordered three dishes: Caesar salad, pork belly Mac and cheese, and fried calamari. The Caesar salad was perfectly dressed, not too heavy, and was light and refreshing. Our favorite dish was definitely the pork belly Mac and cheese; the cheese was flavorful without being overwhelming, and it paired nicely with the pork belly on top. The calamari was light and crispy, making it another great choice. Overall, the food is excellent and the owner is very friendly. I definitely think this place is worth a visit when you're in Seattle!

Does my review still count if i only got drinks? . . Welp, if you 're finally out of your house an into the streets because you 're 35 and finally out of your moms basement (no choice because she told you to move! This will be your guide to a some good drinks to your adulthood life! Follow meeeeeeee dissapeared into the shadows as the slightest echo is the only thing guiding you. Atmosphere: It 's very spacious. (Like spacious to where a full grown man can make some pretty cool karate kicks and wins over the bar, only to fight the warriors next week in an all fight gang war. It takes a modern approach where everything subtle but with a limited choice in colors. (Now I dont mind that at all, but then again I try to catch the lazer pointer when I 'm playing with a cat and I 'm the one in control of the device. [If you 're reading this mr snowball! That 's my lazer! O.O the very left side of the place is stocked with a variety of bottles of wine. (Although, its fairly empty. Making the place feel like they 're ready to move anytime. . . A fine opportunity for some action figures on the shelves! [Yeah Ashley! Manly action figures are big now! Oh you chose poorly for making fun of my barbies who 's laughing now??? Cuz I 'm not. . . Customer Service: Was subtle. It was a goldilocks service. (Meaning there was a sudden charge of bears attacking the bar! O.O wanting justice for a blonde girl breaking in and eating, wearing clothes, and sleeping in their bed. Meaning it was just right. :3 Drinks: Were kicking with flavor and originality. (Like a kangaroo mom, pushing through a crowd in Disneyland to find her kids! I would go back for le yummy drinks! Conclusion: It was indeed pleasent time to just and grab a drink. Atmosphere was ok and subtle (but then again, who goes out for the atmosphere anymore? Backalleys tacos it is! With a steady service that resembles that of a college student going back home to wash their laundry. It was more than enough. . . Thasss all uhh. Ps: if your scratch my poodle in the belly, he 'll force you to keep doing it for another 30 mins. (For if you dont! He will judge you!

My friend, who claims she’s never liked bread pudding before, was converted after trying it here. How can I even describe it… Every single bite has the perfect texture and is wonderfully caramelized—it just melts in your mouth. Each bite is bursting with flavor, and the last bite is just as delightful as the first. You simply can’t beat that. Oh, and don’t forget to try the mac and cheese! We were in food heaven with every bite. All I have to say is: don’t change your head chef! The food is perfection! I’ll definitely be back for more!

We came here before seeing Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin (best show I've seen in awhile! and the place was pretty full. The food menu here is pretty small and not unlike tapas. The fried calamari was a little stale; I wouldn't order that in the future. The fish cakes were incredible and I would order two of these to make a main dish in the future. The grilled zucchini was a nearly ideal vegetable side, albeit a bit oily. The yogurt dill sauce was very tasty and complemented the zucchini just right. Wines offered all looked great I decided to try the Sauvignon Blanc from Italy not sure I've ever had one from there but this one was excellent. Parking for this establishment is tricky. There isn't often street parking nearby and the garage around the corner is very expensive. Don't try going in there and turning around they won't let you! My friend tried and was denied!

The potatoes were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned, and the truffle aioli was a standout! The fried calamari was also crispy and flavorful, and a squeeze of grilled lemon added a nice touch of acidity. Each of us chose a dish from the Meat section. Three of my friends ordered the Triumph Burger, which was supposed to come with farmhouse cheddar, caramelized onions, and pickles. Unfortunately, they all found their burgers missing pickles and had to ask for them. The meat was underseasoned, and the burger itself was dry. We added some truffle aioli to the buns, which improved the flavor. I ordered the fried chicken with cornbread. The chicken was good, boasting a nice breading and wasn't dry at all. However, the cornbread was rock hard and practically inedible. We also tried the pork belly mac and cheese with wild mushrooms and orecchiette. The mac and cheese was delicious, but I couldn't see or taste any mushrooms. The pork belly had a great crisp on the outside and was juicy inside, but it was underseasoned, which kept the dish from reaching its full potential. One friend got the hanger steak with mashed potatoes and chimichurri. I picked this dish because of the chimichurri, but unfortunately, it was underseasoned overall. We debated whether the faint green sauce on the plate was the chimichurri, as it seemed like it was missing from the dish altogether—similar to the situation with the pickles on the burger. Unfortunately, we couldn't inquire about it since our server only checked on us once we were finished eating, and it was difficult to catch her attention. For dessert, we ordered malasadas and bread pudding, both of which were tasty, but I preferred the bread pudding. Their cocktails and wine selection were good, although one friend was disappointed by the limited beer options—only four choices—but he did enjoy the Kolsch. We chose this restaurant for its convenient location near Key Arena, where we were heading for a DM concert, and they do take reservations. While I would consider returning when attending an event at Key Arena, I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit. I think I would stick to salads and sides next time.
