Place is closing and they have already given up. Food was bad, staff on autopilot and mood dour. Wish it wasn't closing, used to be a great place and we really don't need another Purple wine bar.

Server was weird. Inexperienced. Put in the wrong dish. When it came out we said it's fine we will keep the dish then we can start eating together and no need to waste the food. They said no they put in the correct order now and will try to sell the first dish to someone else, which was weird since it was ready then so it's just going to sit under a lamp. So then we said ok fine we will take that second dish too and eat it tomorrow. They said ok but you have to pay for it. And we said yup we were trying to avoid you throwing that food away, we will pay for it. So odd and off putting. Food was fine.

We celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and had a disappointing experience due to our server’s rude behavior. When I asked for a Diet Coke, I received a watered-down, flat drink. When I requested a replacement, the server, with long brown hair and a beard, was passive-aggressive. He slammed a new drink in front of me. As a tourist I didn’t know what a “Seattle soda” brand was. It was obvious the first drink was from an open can left out too long.
The server’s unkindness made the situation worse and made our group uncomfortable. The Margherita pizza was also disappointing—greasy and with an uncooked crust.
Overall, a simple explanation and courtesy could have made a big difference.
It’s safe to say this place is a fiasco.

I had the great pleasure of dining at the restaurant Fiasco yesterday (Thursday) late evening with my new friend Sarah! This restaurant was recommended to me by my friend Olivia, who generally has wonderful taste in dining establishments and so I knew we were truly in for a treat. After a long afternoon of Lake Union based adventures (swimming down by the Museum of History and Industry! Taking a spin in a hot tub boat! Practicing mindfulness and working towards our physical fitness goals with group yoga in Gasworks park!) we were famished and ready for a yummy meal.
We arrived at Fiasco after a quick walk from the park and had a short, easy wait before we were seated at a comfortable and spacious table outside. We had a lot of fun perusing the expansive menu, especially the wide variety of interesting and original cocktails. We decided on the Vine Whip and WeHo Shuffle and found them both to be exceptionally refreshing on a hot summer evening. For our meal choices we wavered between all of the delicious sounding options but ultimately made up our minds and settled on salads - the Chunky Avocado Salad (with shrimp added) for Sarah, and the Classic Caesar (with fried chicken added) for me. I can't speak much for the Chunky Avocado, but I loved the dressing and tiny crouton topping on my Classic Caesar. The fried chicken I added was delicious but probably not necessary given our choice to splurge on an extra appetizer (the Balsamic Garlic Toasted Baguette) which filled us right up to the brim. Altogether, a wonderful meal after a wonderful day!
TLDR: Great cocktails, spacious outdoor seating, and delicious salad dressing. Going to the bathroom is a bit of a journey, but you should probably go anyway. Thanks Fiasco!

Averages at a 2. Cute place but I was neglected for 25 minutes once sitting down. I finally flagged a waitress down who took my order, then my waiter came to the table and finally gave my dog water/apologized for the long wait even though I saw him moseying around.. meanwhile everyone else was being helped. The food was meh at best I was really hoping for better after a long day ?.

Food was pretty good, outside patio was really nice. The service was a bit slow and food took quite a while after the appetizer. Parking in the garage within the building is $3 when validated with code at the front.

Place is pretty good! We went during happy hour which made drink prices a bit lighter. Food was good, service was bad. Atmosphere was nice. You DO sit and wait around for service for quite some time.
Cacio e Pepe can use some more Pepe. (Invest in a pepper cannon!) even adding pepper to our meals we thought “that pepper grinder is gaaaaarbage” and barely left a whisper of pepper. Broccolini tasted like grease, but it wasn’t what I was there for so that’s ok!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Fiasco in Seattle for a celebratory meal with the owner of a home where we had just completed a roof replacement. The experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
The service at Fiasco was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making us feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout the evening. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the perfect setting for our celebration.
We started our meal with the Burrata appetizer. The creamy burrata paired beautifully with the heirloom tomatoes and balsamic reduction, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Next, we enjoyed the Fiasco Caesar Salad, which was fresh and crisp with a delightful anchovy dressing that elevated the dish.
For our main courses, we tried the Braised Short Ribs and the Grilled Salmon. The short ribs were incredibly tender, practically melting in our mouths, and were served with a rich, savory jus that was absolutely delicious. The grilled salmon was cooked to perfection, with a lovely char on the outside while remaining moist and flaky inside. The accompanying asparagus and lemon beurre blanc sauce complemented the fish wonderfully.
To finish our meal, we indulged in the Tiramisu. It was light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness to end our dining experience on a high note.
Overall, Fiasco provided an exceptional dining experience that perfectly matched the celebratory mood of our evening. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for outstanding food, excellent service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

We had a delicious dinner the night of July 4th. Nick, our waiter was so friendly and helpful. The drinks by Jonathan the bartender, and the food were outstanding. Thank you for having gluten free pasta!!
The service and food were excellent. Everyone in my party was very satisfied with their meal (and they aren't the easiest crowd to please). Fiasco did a great job adding a flare to traditional Italian cuisine. The beetroot & citrus salad and the goaty-goat-goat pizza were my favorite.

The hostess was initially put off by the fact that we preferred not to be seated at the table in the middle of the room, right by the door. We had a reservation that indicated this was a special event but she did not seem to note that. She asked a manager if we could switch to a high top, and I appreciate the change. It made a difference to our experience. Our server, Luke, was outstanding.
Had an exceptional time, as I do every time I visit this place! Roland was my server and they were also just as amazing as they are every time I visit. Can't wait to visit again soon!
