We enjoyed the cozy, quiet, and comforting atmosphere at Cook Weaver. We had the vegetarian tasting menu and were really impressed by the artistry of every dish. They were crafted with unique flavor combinations that went really well together. We enjoyed every dish but the amuse bouche, melon soup, and tomato toast were my favorite. This was our second time here and would love to come back again.

Cook-Weaver is an incredible experience. Truly innovative and often unexpected flavors, combinations, presentation. But all done in a laid back manner. Think: as cozy as your grandma's kitchen with a culinary experience that bests Canlis

PHENOMENAL. Best tapas in Seattle! We got a lot of different things from their menu. Our favorite was the steak tartar and wagyu bigger plate. I loved the cucumber tempura. There were both small plates and larger plates and each was $10-$50 per person with the $50 option a wagyu steak that came with the most delicious sides. I am head over heels in love with the place. The drinks were AMAZING. And the server was super fun and sweet. We did notice people walking by and looking at the menu and not coming in. Idk if it was because of price or because the menu looked a bit adventurous. Highly recommend. They were also super accommodating with gluten intolerance.

Absolutely delicious and very friendly, attentive service. We did the omakase menu and loved every dish. The vegetarian omakase was extremely thoughtful - vegetarians will not feel like they missed out whatsoever. Just a great experience with amazing food.

Don’t be put off by the $100+ per person. We got the tasting menu (both omnivore and vegetarian) but there are many things you can get for a reasonable price ($20-$40).
The atmosphere is very cozy and the waiter we had is very nice. He made great cocktails and knew a lot about what we were served. When the drinks took quite a while to come out he offered to cover them for us.
As for the tasting menus, they were very of tasty. Everything tasted good, but the mousse desert and vegan larb really stuck out. The mousse was honestly heavenly. We got the 7-course tasting menu but I think there is an 11-course one for $50 more. We also got a small appetizer and palate cleaner which were great and weren’t shown on the menu so that was a pleasant surprise.
Their menu changes every so often, but I would come again!

Delicious and inventive food set in a cozy space with excellent service. We made reservations for two on a Saturday night, arrived 20 minutes early, and were promptly sat without delay. The waitress as well as the general manager attended to us throughout dinner. We chose the vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairings. The meal took roughly two hours to course, including an amuse-bouche and three desserts. Every course was delicious, unique, well seasoned, and well portioned. That said, I could have easily eaten ten each of the deserts. Wine was well-selected, but didn't stand up to the food. Not bad, but could be improved with some more adventurous pairings.
Overall, a wonderful tasting menu and we will definitely be back!

We were excited to try the Chef’s Kitchen experience, and while some dishes were tasty and our server was excellent, the evening didn’t meet expectations. The chef seemed unsure about the courses and wasn’t very engaging, which made the atmosphere awkward. We were surprised to receive dessert after only five courses, followed by several more – the progression felt unbalanced. One dessert was too sweet to finish, but we were polite and never complained or asked for anything to be removed from the bill. Unexpectedly, the chef reacted in a passive-aggressive way, telling us he had removed ALL FOOD (?) from the bill — even though we had just said we were happy to pay the full price, as we had enjoyed most of the food and were fully aware of the cost upfront. While the food itself wasn’t bad, it definitely didn’t match the high price tag. After that moment, the mood shifted — the staff, including the chef, left the room without saying goodbye, and we were left sitting alone. It felt unprofessional and disrespectful. We left a generous tip for our kind server, but overall, we walked away confused and disappointed..

Very easy to get the vegetation tasting menu made vegan. Service and wine pairings were outstanding. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
Wow! Had an incredible dining experience here recently. I had this place on my radar for a couple years, but when they posted they were doing a Seattle restaurant week deal for their 4-course set, I jumped at the opportunity to go.
My husband thoroughly enjoyed his non-vegan courses. One of the best meals he's had. He was savoring every bite!
The chef was so accommodating to to not only adjust the vegetarian courses to be completely vegan for me, but I also trusted them with how they communicating and presented things as vegan, so I didn't have to question if it was vegan or not.
Everything was beautiful, flavorful, carefully thought of, and very unique. We enjoyed every bit of this! They even threw in a glass of champagne and a pre-starter and palate cleanser.
It was also a charming atmosphere and romantic, perfect for a date night. Highly recommend for vegan and non-vegan!

The quality is truly subpar and for what they offer, it’s severely overpriced, especially in comparison to other tasting menus in Seattle. What irritated me is that the menu outside of the restaurant shows that the tasting menu costs $141, but once we got inside it actually cost $151, to our unpleasant surprise 🤨
Lastly, the paper menu showed a lot of ingredients that seemed like false marketing since they were not present (e.g. one of the dishes was supposed to have beef wagyu but we got “wagyu style” beef and the “fatty belly tuna” was just plain tuna…)
At this price point, I’d recommend any other tasting menu in Seattle or Published on Main in Vancouver, Canada (one star Michelin)
The small complaints include uncomfortable seating and odd, tiny bathroom that doesn’t close, there’s just one waiter for ~10 tables, and drinks were mediocre too.

Just Wow, I had my eyes on this place for a while, the menu was intriguing and it looked like it had a unique and interesting ambience.
Boy was I not disappointed! 😮❤️. One creative dish after another, each exciting my palate in new and different ways, mixing unexpected ingredients together for a surprisingly refreshing experience ☺️
The restaurant itself kept one's eyes busy, a semi-mediaeval ambience reinforced the feeling of being someplace special, even exotic.
The service was excellent and also very friendly. The server doubled as a bartender and was eager to create interesting concoctions on demand, lending his own creativity to the process.
This place is highly recommended if you are looking for unique and interesting experiences - and quality on top of that 🙏❤️

We visited Cook Weaver on a beautiful Wednesday evening to meet friends for dinner. Really appreciated a vegetarian tasting menu being available- only 1 person ended up doing the omnivore option! The atmosphere inside was intimate and relaxed, although the bench I was seated on eventually became pretty uncomfortable. Similarly, service was solid overall, but slowed down pretty heavily as the meal went on. Now for the food - everything we tried ranged from only okay to great. I can't say I had any knockout options (besides the ice cream which was amazing.) The different proteins in the omnivore tasting were bland, vegetables needed more spice generally, and I was expecting a bit more variety. If the meal was 30% cheaper - it probably would have met expectations. Unfortunately I do not think the meal quality/quantity was aligned with the very high cost (even after accounting for being in Seattle.)

Very surprised by the overwhelming positive reviews here. In my opinion, this is an extremely overpriced restaurant with mediocre food. As many others stated, the tasting menu is a very slow experience, taking around 3-4 hours for around 10 dishes (including just bread and an amuse bouche). The portions are very small, so actually eating the food is a very small proportion of the time spent - most of the time is spent waiting around for the next course. And to make matters worse, some of our food wasn’t even hot when it arrived. The ambiance and seats aren’t particularly amazing either so the wait was long and awkward.
Service was fine, but nothing outstanding considering that they were expecting a 20% tip on a $250+ bill. They rarely checked on us and didn’t refill water/clear table of crumbs like waitstaff of other restaurants with similar prices.
The food was unmemorable at best and inedible at worst. The worst offender was a chocolate soup for dessert that was so bitter and alcoholic tasting that we couldn’t finish even the small portion of it. Overall, spending over $200 to have a forgettable meal that didn’t even fill us up means that we won’t be back any time soon.
We enjoyed the cozy, quiet, and comforting atmosphere at Cook Weaver. We had the vegetarian tasting menu and were really impressed by the artistry of every dish. They were crafted with unique flavor combinations that went really well together. We enjoyed every dish but the amuse bouche, melon soup, and tomato toast were my favorite.
