L'Oursin Reviews
Everything about this place was great! Great cocktails, great food, great service! I highly recommend and when I return to Seattle I will visit again!
very good selection of french wines and in general french cuisine. we ordered the steak and cassoulet. The steak was amazing, it was my first cassoulet, so i didn't have a frame of reference but it was tasty. after we had already ordered a group of people gathered outside the restaurant and kept talking up their foie gras. they were very enthusiastic which made me think the foie gras must be amazing, i will definitely visit this place again and order the foie gras.
The french onion soup and escargot were delicious. The frites in the steak frites were extremely over salted, and the steak was too tough, but the sauce was perfect.
