Steak was outstanding, mashed potatoes had a strange flavor. wish you had choice on vegetables. only offered asparagus.

We have been to Palisade a number of times before for special occasions and always had a great time as late as last New Year's. This time the experience was most underwhelming. The menu choices were not favorable, and the taste was really blend. Disappointing experience.
Benjamin
The server Justin was not just attentive but fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and a true delight. The atmosphere was great and set so well by the talented singer doing live music but not too noisy or loud. We could still have a great conversation. The food came out at a great pace for our night of friends getting together, which we noticed was timed by the server Justin and the kitchen. Well done! Truly. I will certainly be coming back! The food, the service, the views of Seattle, the music and the atmosphere were all wonderful.

Salad and chowder was great, but our main entrees were fine. Nothing too flavorful but also nothing too bland. Noise level was moderate considering the restaurant was only 25% full. Would hate to see what it's like at capacity. What really set us off was when ordering, we ordered our entrees and our server asked each of us “soup or salad?” which came across as if our meal came with soup or salad... it did not. And thus was charged full price ($15 for salad $13 for soup) for each! If you like mediocre food and being conned, come here.

Beautiful restaraunt but not ready for lunch service. It took a long time for our food to come out even though there were only a few tables of patrons. Food was so so, nothing great. Service wasn't great — I can't recommend for lunch.

We used to come here for the well prepared seafood with a nice view. (We're locals, so the view, which is quite spectacular, isn't as big a deal for us.) We went back the other night, and the food was disappointing, mediocre at best for this price point. When desserts are the best feature of a meal, that's not a great sign for a restaurant that used to pride itself on its entrees. The service tableside, too, was just... off. Food sat on a serving tray because the servers weren't organized and hadn't cleared some plates first. There was uncertainty and confusion in clearing plates for all courses, though the various servers were friendly enough. Nothing was bad, exactly, just average at best.

Avoid prime rib on the Seattle restaurant week menu, creme brûlée was good but very shallow with more brûlée to custard ratio. People were beyond friendly and took great care of me. Espresso martini was extremely sweet barely tasted the coffee
MELINDA
The service was slow, forgetful and joking-borderline-rude. The food was okay-to-good, but only because the fruit bar and pastries were unlimited would I say that it's all right for the price. That is to say, the main entrees were disappointing. We wanted to really enjoy a meal with a beautiful view.
Nathan
Great food, especially the Calamari and the Seared Sea bass. Some of the better seafood in Seattle. With an amazing view and the way it is built makes it so it's got a quiet ambiance to it.
Curtis
Good service, great seafood in a beautiful setting with a tremendous views. Be sure to try the lobster bisque and the hot crab dip, could make a meal with just those two appetizers. This is fine dining, definitely expensive, but worth it...better than most of the other so-called fine dining establishments.
I have been to Palisade numerous times and used to love it, but unfortunately their quality of food is declining while the prices stay high. I ordered miso glazed black cod (one of my favorite dishes) but the glaze tasted like cheap teriyaki sauce and was not enjoyable. My husband ordered the filet, which was tender but incredibly salty. The restaurant is gorgeous with stunning views of the city, but sadly we likely won't be going back.

Eight of us lady's celebrated our girlfriend's 70th birthday, and it was an amazing experience. We dressed up with a prom theme with the birthday girl was queen of the prom. Everything was fantastic, food, service, ambience, music. We tried several amazing food items and they all were 5 star. If your ever in Seattle this restaurant is your best choice! Thank you Palasade team for an unforgettable evening. Happy ladies from California

Ambiance: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Service: friendly, but almost nonexistent For a very quiet night, the service was notably slow.

We went to Palisades for dinner one of the evenings on our honeymoon. We were seated in a cozy booth side by side, looking out at the bay and city lights behind it. there were rose petals sprinkled on the tablecloth. Very romantic! The food was perhaps my favorite from our trip. wait staff was friendly and attentive.
