I have been to Cook Weaver 5 times now and it is amazing every time. They are now a tasting menu and they have a lot of amazing flavors. The vegetarian tasting menu is so savory. This time was the best I have ever had there with lots of mushrooms and nori. The service was so friendly and fun. The murals are gorgeous and the building is a cute little spot. I will continue to come here for special times in my life. Some of the best dishes of my life, definitely on par with Michelin starred restaurants we have tried in the past. The other members of my party raved about the omnivore menu. Pricey but definitely worth every penny. The wine pairing was great too with some really unique choices.

Food- 3.5 stars Service- 1.5 starsAmbience- 3 starsWould recommend, if you have 3.5hrs for a meal.We came here for my husband's birthday and was pretty excited. Unfortunately it was one of the coldest days in Seattle, lol so temperature in the restaurant was not ideal. Given it's an older building, totally understand that they may not be equipped to keep the place warm. That was not the issue.There were 3 other couples in the restaurant during this time, so not exactly busy. The host/server was nice, however she rarely checked in on us and did not try to engage with us. We sat down and she told us we get to choose the vegetarian or omnivore tasting. We were fine with this, as we expected it, however another couple came in later and they were able to order al a cart and not do the tasting menu. The food was pretty tasty (on the saltier side) but unfortunately it took about 30mins in between each dish, in the freezing cold... it just ruined the whole experience. Our server also never checked in on us and one of the gals from the kitchen was serving us... she looked like she hated her job lol... when describing the dishes. 3.5hrs for a 7 course meal later, my husband and I were over this place, and looking around so were the other couples at the restaurant. We joked that we could have drove up to Vancouver Canada and back in that time. Lots of potential but service needs to be reviewed. Can't imagine going here knowing a busier day, could be an all day affair

Went for our first time to celebrate my son's birthday. It was truly a memorable experience! The food, the restaurant and the service were excellent! It left us thinking about and talking about it for days after.

I and my guests were blown away at the flavors and passion that are evident in Chef/Owner Zac’s masterful culinary bites. We were treated to a unique and intimate experience by Zac and his wife when we booked their chef’s table tasting menu. An array of PNW’s finest offerings with Chef’s playful and delicious twists. A gourmet’s palate dream come true! Thank you Cook Weaver for this experience!

Possibly the worst dining experience in Seattle , this historic venue has been reduced to a pretentious, uber-expensive Chucky-Cheese.A huge non-bianary coming out party was being celebrated, ruining the atmosphere with loud screaming and inappropriate gags with corn dogs.Food was overworked to such an extent to become unappealing and (apparently) to give the impression that the chef was "high class".Why can't Seattle have good food without all the fakery and price gouging?!

We had prix fixe here several times and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. This place is unashamedly and tastefully fusion, and I say that as someone who generally doesn’t enjoy fusion. I think Cook Weaver is creative and methodical. The menu always makes me think: I didn’t know you could do that and have it taste good. As somebody who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I say you’re looking for a Seattle culinary experience I would skip all the “Northwest” restaurants with all their bland baked Salmon and come here instead.
I was visiting Seattle for a wedding. We came here for the wedding reception. The menu was a tasting menu, my favorite!! The restaurant is on the smaller side, which was perfect for a 24 person wedding. There was enough light to see the menus and everyone without having to use the flashlight on my phone. I hate when restaurants are so dark that you need to use your phone light. I was also able to have a conversation with people at my table and not have to scream or strain to hear them!! Aka no loud music! I thought this was a great dinner spot for a small wedding reception. There was enough room so it didn't feel crowded, and you could also mingle. But when it was time to eat dinner, you got to sit with the people at your table and enjoy the meal. The setup for the wedding was so simply elegant. We were all provided with tasting menus. Each dish was decadent and divine. I am on a LOW FODMAP diet so it was really nice that the chef was able to accommodate and make my dishes without onion, garlic, or gluten. Even with these changes, the food was spectacular. Each bite was flavorful, and I wanted more. We walked here from our Airbnb so I can't speak to parking. I hope to visit this restaurant again!

Amazing tasting menu with optional wine pairing! This restaurant does two menus both typically 7 courses. You can choose either the omnivore or vegetarian menu. This is one of my favorite restaurants and it serves up big, unique and delicious seasonal flavors!

Admittedly, I'm a foodie: tasting menus are the first thing I seek out in a new city while traveling, and I've had dozens of them around the world.But I'm surprised the reviews for Cook Weaver are as high as they are. No offense to the staff here; running a restaurant is a tough business after all. But the price set my expectations highly -- at $450 for 2 people (including tip), food has to be exceptional. And there are plenty of great restaurants in Cap Hill alone at a fraction of the cost.The corn dog was a neat concept, and the first omnivore dish was also quite tasty. But otherwise, most of the dishes lacked flavor, and a few had some elements that flat out didn't work (rhubarb foam with a scallop, I'm looking at you lol)... Things were at least cooked properly (nothing undercooked or overcooked), and the amount of food felt appropriate to us, but we left feeling like it wasn't a tasty meal... nowhere near the flavor and quality of a typical tasting menu.I also felt the environment was a bit too casual for the price point.My rating would be lower, but:- The staff were friendly and attentive- The cadence was good- The wine pairing was interesting, one in particular stood out both on it's own and paired with it's course

The Tale of Cook Weaver: A Culinary Journey of Exquisite Flavor*key word, flavor!Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(Whoever authored the previous review needs to be checked for Covid… there was no lack of flavor to be had. The chef should have you sign a waiver to make sure you can handle the onslaught of flavor bombs in each dish.I had the pleasure of indulging in a truly remarkable dining experience at Cook Weaver this evening. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.What truly set this restaurant apart was their exceptional tasting menu. Each course was a masterpiece, meticulously crafted to showcase the chef's creativity. The flavors were nothing short of extraordinary, a summer taste explosion with every bite.The presentation of each plate was a work of art, with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. It was evident that the chef not only cared about the taste but also the visual appeal of every dish. The combination of flavors was harmonious, with each component complementing the others flawlessly.The service was impeccable, with a knowledgeable and attentive staff who guided us through the tasting menu with grace and enthusiasm. They were more than happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations, enhancing the overall dining experience!In conclusion, Cook Weaver is a culinary gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. The tasting menu was a gastronomic adventure that left me in awe of the chef's skill and creativity. If you are seeking a dining experience that will transport you to a world of delicious flavors, look no further than this exceptional establishment!!!Bravo! Will be returning!

Flew in from Philly for a friend’s birthday weekend which included a tasting menu at the Chef’s table at this amazing place in Capital Hill. I didn’t even check out the website or anything, just laid all my trust in her. I was not disappointed!The interior is small, intimate, and cozy with beautiful artwork. The chef’s table was well placed because you are there watching the action but not on top of the chefs. That was refreshing. I have done a few chef’s table and found them to be awkward because you almost feel in the way. This was not the case. You could watch the craft but not feel overbearing.As for the food, excellent flavor profiles with a cascading arraying textures and combinations that really did feel like a magical culinary journey. We even had a menu substitution with a tri-tip with morels and corn porridge that deserved mentioning because, honestly, it was like each dish from start to finish was fighting for attention to be the most delicious. The dessert was fantastic and had so many lovely textures and flavors that played well in the sandbox that I couldn’t stop myself from finishing it. This is a place where a pickled carrot could, almost, steal the show to a delicious rice porridge that tasted like something totally brand new yet also brings you home to a meal you remember your mom always making. That’s what food should be about and they know it!Staff was extremely accommodating despite being very busy. The chefs were stellar! As skilled as they were friendly, it was a delightful experience. I’m not kidding when I say this was best dinner I have had in Seattle since the closing of Tarzan I Jane. Also, music playlist was seriously on point and helped the whole experience. Can’t wait to take my partner when I come back.
Just ridiculously good. So good.
