Very good restaurant find in Belltown. The small plate portions were plenty for two. We split the Mezz plate and a salad and were fine. Great drinks and great service!

I was teaching at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine and did a day of exploring down by the waterfront. This little eatery was amazing. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We had the peppers, artichokes and broccoli as well as the flatbread. We were reminded of our family style meals in Italy. Highly recommend.

Really outstanding food experience. The cocktails were awesome and we really enjoyed the mezze plate. The Single Hill hazy and WA rose paired well with the gambas and chicken Tikka chatt. Great meal!

Amazing food. Service was top notch. I tried some items first time and they were delicious.
I've visited Black Bottle many times before the pandemic, frequently ordering a big chunk of the menu. It has consistently been one of my favorites.
Last visit, we stopped by for a snack and dessert.
- Cauliflower fritters. Just fried cauliflower with an uninteresting red sauce. Presentation and flavor seemed dated. Lacked the originality I expect from Black Bottle. Didn't finish it.
- Smoked chicken and cherry flatbread. A classic, but this time the bread was tough, the chicken was dry, and the cheese overwhelming. Using the same garnish as the fritters seemed a bit lazy. Not bad, maybe just an off night.
- Bread pudding with bourbon caramel. The texture was extremely slippery and off-putting. My first impulse was to spit it out. The caramel was salty and runny, like they had just mixed straight bourbon into caramel sauce. The flavors here weren't good. The whole thing seemed amateurish. We barely took a bite and left the rest.
- Flan with chocolate cake. The flan was hard and mealy, and the sad little brownie it sat on was so dry it was curling up from the plate. Again, amateurish. Weak flavors, awful texture, unattractive presentation. We barely took a bite and left the rest. Makes me sad thinking back on the simple excellence of the blueberry kettle tart.
- Service. Perfunctory. They noticed the barely eaten food and said nothing when we declined a box. Which is... sure. The onus was on us to send the food back. Just didn't have the energy, didn't plan on being back, and, frankly, no longer seemed like the kind of place that would care.
Glad Black Bottle is still committed to their vision, but let's agree to disagree that it's my tastes that have changed.

Spent Friday night at Black Bottle in Belltown, and it hit all the right notes. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool. Service was impressively quick without feeling rushed.
šø The cocktail lineup is solid, including non-alcoholic picks. The Amalfi Spritz was especially refreshing.
š½ļø Favorites - The cauliflower dish was a standoutātasted like pizza. (Gluten free) - Loved the *lamb meatballs* in the mezza plateāsavory and well-spiced. - The sausage flatbread
But the real showstoppers were the desserts: - The *Maker's Mark bourbon bread pudding* was rich and indulgent. - The *lemon curd cheesecake with lavender crust* (gluten-free!) was next-levelāelegant, tangy, and aromatic.
š¦ š¦ Worth Skipping: The gambas al ajillo and duck wings didnāt quite land for meājust personal taste, but I'd pass on them next time.
Food and environment was great, super tasty and cute. Would not recommend to people with fodmap diet restrictions, almost everything has garlic and onion even things that didnāt have it listed on the menu.

First time in. Great service, well lit with good window views, good food and cocktails. Excellent flavor in all 3 small dishes (cod tacos, garden dust fries, and halloumi cheese) and dessert (lemon curd ricotta cake). Alcoholic cocktails (Strega things, gilded julep) were inventive and tasty. Only downside was that herbed fries came out cold and non-alcoholic Phony Negroni was all bitter with little balance. We.would definitely come again though!
