This was our first visit to Tilikum Place Cafe and we will definitely be back! It's such a treat to dine in an intimate space with stellar service. The dinner menu is small but offers something for everyone and the wine menu is impressive with great local and imported options.

Really enjoyed the savory Dutch Baby. My friend ordered the baked eggs which were also good. The ambience and service is conducive to a leisurely meal with conversation.

Our dining experience was fabulous, we had the pasta appetizer, the stuffed piquillo peppers, two salads, both soups and the pork, gnocchi and chicken. Every dish was outstanding! Our service was also great! One of our fave restaurants.

Great restaurant. Great food. Great service. Not too noisy. The hand shaved pasta appetizer is AMAZING! Pork tenderloins and chicken dishes were perfect. Trout fillet with seaweed topping was tasty. Everything is perfect!

What an amazing little brunch spot in downtown Seattle. Hands down the best. The Dutch babies are amazing and a must have. But the Baked eggs were the shining gem, one of my top 3 all time best breakfast meals ever.Everything on the menu is great. Friendly, helpful service in great spot nestled right outside the Space needle. We cancelled our brunch reservation at a different place and went back here the next day. 10 out 10.

We are long time fans of Tillicum Cafe. The food, service and ambience is wonderful. I almost feel that I transported to NY to cozy cafe. Our favorite Seattle restaurant!

Food was great. But perhaps a little lacking on the service side. When we sat down, we were asked if we were ready to order almost as soon as we hit the chair. We ordered -about 5 minutes later. Once our appetizer arrived, it's like we disappeared from existence. We don't need to be doted on, but our beverages sat empty for about 10-15 minutes while waiting for our entrees. When our entrees arrived. We ordered another beverage and proceeded with our entrees. Once we finished eating, we sat there for another 20 minutes waiting for our server to order dessert and coffee. When we ordered the coffee, we asked for cream and sugar, and it never came. We asked again when the dessert arrived and it never came. The servers were polite and the food was good, but we felt we were sitting and waiting longer and more often then we should.

Great service and food—menu options were awesome. The crepe order is small, otherwise perfect experience.

Great place, great service, great food. If you are going to an event at Seattle Center, I highly recommend this place.
I had an excellent dinner experience last night. The service was truly outstanding — the whole team worked together seamlessly, and the timing of everything was perfect. The drinks were spot-on, and the food was fantastic as always. The butter sage pasta was absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish you keep thinking about afterward. The dumplings were perfect, too: light, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Overall, a smooth, enjoyable evening with great service, great food, and great drinks. Consistently exceptional. Highly recommend.

We have been going to Tilikum Place for years. The friendly, warm welcome; the attention to our needs and questions; and especially the quality of the food all combine to make each visit special. This visit was a delight. My salad course was fried Brussels sprouts, and it was extraordinarily delicious. I had Moroccan Chickpea Soup as my main course, which was beautifully spiced and just what I wanted. My spouse and I shared the pear tarte for desert, also wonderful. I can hardly wait for next time!

Came in just by chance and I’m so glad we did because it was amazing. Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, reasonably priced and fantastic service.

One of the nice places I've been to in Seattle. I went for dinner, tried the pasta, Swiss Chard Lasagna and Sunchoke soup, and they were exceptional. They didn't have the Dutch babies or the quiche on their dinner menu, but the food was worth the visit.
