The menu looks great. The food was meh. Homer has no place on the Eater 38. Pretty disappointed.The toum and carrot walnut dip were both excellent.Lebneh was just greek yogurt. Smoked apple/rutabega just tasted like liquid smoke. Charred beets were mushy. The flavors on the cauliflower didn't meld well. And the black cod was overcooked, but sunchokes and mushrooms served in that dish were great.Wait staff was friendly and attentive. But we were asked to order all at once and were told that the many dishes would be paced so we could enjoy them; and to ask for more pita at any point. The first two things were spaced nicely, then the later three were all served at the same time so things didn't stay warm by the time we could eat them. We had to ask three people to get a single pita.I don't typically leave reviews, but we only eat out at nice restaurants on special occasions and this was a real let down.

By far the freshest and best pita I've had in the U.S. thus far. Every small plate was also bursting with flavor. The smoked & shaved rutabaga w/ pistachio milk, apple & barberries dish had a flavor profile reminiscent of a savory key lime pie and was one of the favorites that we tried on the current menu. Highly recommend

Fantastic restaurant in a residential area, decor is very welcoming w great taste, love the tall ceiling and open kitchen. We stopped by just to get dessert as we had already grabbed dinner elsewhere, cheesecake and soft serve are delicious! Unfortunately they don’t serve coffee.

Was quoted a 30 min wait, but ended up waiting over an hour for a table of two (walked in around 6p on a Fri). Overall, food was great — we loved the sides more than the mains. Staff seemed rushed and overextended.Would come back only in groups 6+ so we can make a reservation next time

The flavors here are fantastic. Not quite to the point where you wonder how they make them work, but it all comes together brilliantly. Everything we had impressed, and tho you’re paying premium prices you’re going to come away with a special and memorable experience.Service and atmo were good, plating was solid, just not exceptional or anything, and there’s no easy parking.Still, def a solid choice for a special meal with those you love.

Cozy and elegant! This is a great spot for a dinner date, but since they do not take reservation I would caution against coming with a large group. Tasty food and amazing cocktail options. They also do not have too many vegetarian options, and you would be hard pressed to find vegan options here.

Very cute vibe, cocktails were great and well balanced, food was good - except for the lamb. We got the dip trio, winter squash, roasted beats, sausage, celeriac dish - all of which were great! The only main dish we got was the lamb, which was unfortunately a huge disappointment. The portion size was very small, and then two out of the four slices were entirely fat. Felt like a rip off for $40 and soured the experience for us as a “main,” since it would not have been enough food on its own. Would go again, but would stick to the small plates!

Worth the wait - great food/cocktails and service :)
Great place to eat, with a large variety of both meat-full and vegetarian plates. Mild, not overly powerful flavors throughout most of the dishes. Personal favorites included the carrot and walnut dip + pita, homemade sausage, and black cod w/ maitake.One glaring asterisk is that there is very little seating in addition to slow turnover. I'd say about 11 bar stools, and 30ish sit down seats. If you're not part of the first flight to sit down, expect a wait no less than 90 minutes after you put your name down, longer for larger parties.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options include a majority of the small plates options, but none of the large plates. Not very vegan friendly, as yogurt/buttermilk/labneh is quite prevalent.

Our favorite restaurant in Seattle. Consistently creative and delicious seasonal dishes. We've never had a bad meal. You can't go wrong with the trio of spreads, and you must try the whipped garlic. We always get lots of small dishes and only one large dish, if any. Rotating cocktail menu with lots of interesting drinks. There is often a long wait but plenty of places nearby to grab a drink. This is our favorite place to celebrate a special occasion or to impress visitors from out of town!
