My introduction to French cuisine was phenomenal combined with great service and a view unrivaled by almost any restaurant I've ever been to. Ate here during my first time in Seattle and it's going to be essential every trip.

The French and Japanese twists in each dish were very interesting. Flavors were different but delicious! Place is quite small so I definitely recommend setting up a reservation. The views and atmosphere were top notch. Glad to have this place in the neighborhood!

This is among the Seattle area's best restaurants, up there with Lark, Herb Farm, and Cafe Juanita. My wife and I went here for new year's eve and had a sublime four course meal. The filet mignon was the best I've ever had.

I went there for Christmas weekend dinner so they have the same menu for everyone who booked. The best is the first soup course which has a soft, bright, mixed taste. Nice appetizer. However starting from the octopus the taste became worse. I’m not an octopus fan but their octopus is alright. But the sliced waygu beef is too raw for me. The Mac cheese tastes weird too. I doubt the wasabi source is a good match with the beef. The last Swiss roll has a rough texture, not like the soft texture I have ever had. The service and atmosphere are good though.

The food here is very good, and I’ve generally enjoyed this restaurant in the past. Unfortunately, the service at the end of our meal tonight was disappointing.
My colleague and I spent over $250 before tip and ordered multiple dishes, dessert, and coffee. At no point were we told there was a dining time limit. Toward the end of dessert, the owner (not our server) came to our table and abruptly told us we had exceeded a 2.5-hour limit, in a stern and irritated tone that made us feel rushed out.
We were actually only about 2 hours and 15 minutes into the meal, and other tables seated before us were still dining without issue. The problem wasn’t the time limit—it was the lack of advance notice and the way it was handled.
A simple heads-up or a polite reminder would have avoided ending an otherwise great meal on a sour note. I hope the restaurant improves communication and guest experience going forward.

What a gem in the Mount Baker neighborhood. We went in on a Friday night and had no issues getting seated.
You can tell a lot of thought went into each dish. For instance, the seasonal veggies came with this miso and black garlic dressing which highlighted a lot of fall apple notes. The filet mignon was made to perfection. The brie mushroom risotto was rich in flavor. For dessert, we had yogurt mousse with Granny Smith apples, and it was a great light and tart treat to offset our main course.
There were some wine and sake bottle options, but the by glass options were straightforward.
For the level of care and technique that goes into the food, I like that the ambiance of the restaurant is more down to earth. Having a restaurant to this pedigree away from busier hot spots around Seattle is great if you want to dine somewhere more intimate.
Highly recommend, perfect for date night!

The food was delicious. They are not at all staffed or prepared for a full dining room. We enjoyed our wine and food for sure, but we waited an entire hour between starter course and entree. The server was overwhelmed and unable to interact. I hope they find their groove.

The dishes were all excellent and full of flavor while having a great visual element as well. The leek soup had a wonderful unctuousness. The duck breast was perfectly warm, soft, and the fat rendered; wholly satisfying with a light glaze. The fish was a flaky Branzino with a skin just crusty to add to the earthy flavors of the foraged mushrooms. The sake selection was outstanding. We really enjoyed the dining experience. There were multiple families with active small children on a Saturday night though.

Went there last night after being curious about it for a year. So intimate and so lovely. We were one of two tables from 5:30pm-7:30pm on a Thursday. Watched a beautiful sunset and were well taken care of.
The chef/owner was our server, and his only back up was his sous chef.
They also did a great job taking care of our dietary restrictions (fiancée has celiac) and modifying things to make them work.
Basically an-almost private dining experience for two, with a lovely view, at $100/person. Easily my favorite restaurant experience I’ve had in recent memory

Food exceeded our expectations, very rich in flavor, a very interesting combination of Asian and French taste. My husband and I literally went from 🤨to 😍after the first bite. Food portion was small though, that’s the characteristic of French cuisine. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a food adventure

What a delightful dinner!
The Wasabi Herb butter paired with the perfectly tender filet mignon dish was done fantastically. I loved the crispy hashbrown. The Braised beef and sweetheart looks small in the photos, but I swear that it it sizeable, 2-3x what the photo makes it out to be. The size/ shape of the plates make the food look small in pictures. We went on a Wednesday evening, and the space felt private.
Small critiques would include the mashed sweet potato which reminded me of the Chinese sweet version of Hawaiian bread that I associated as a cheap flavor. Green beans were fresh but the chew felt rubbery. It may be common in American/ European cuisine, but I was not a fan of it.
The menu is well priced, flavors were great, and we left full. I will be back!

One of the best and most interesting fusion restaurants in Seattle, with beautiful views of the city. Intimate setting, with chef actually being at the restaurant.
