⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This was my experience as a Canadian in Seattle 🐝 This restaurant is very popular and was highly recommended by locals and tourists alike. From the outside, it’s literally just a door in an alley way, but on the inside is a stunning, elaborate establishment on multiple levels with a heavy Italian influence. I was happily able to put some of my new Duolingo skills to the test with the menu 😂 I opted for an Almond Creamy Italian Soda ($5USD/$7CAD), North West Fish of the Day ($39USD/$54CAD), and the Zeppole ($15USD/$21CAD). The NW fish of the day was a local caught Salmon on a bed of beets, cream of leek sauce and topped with a small salad that included pistachios and arugula. I am baffled that the best pistachios I’ve ever tasted were from this restaurant. Completely unexpected! The rest of my main course was just as delicious, the salmon moist and light while the beets were soft and sweet. Each bite was a mouthful of fresh ingredients that individually stood out. The drink I had was wonderful, creamy and had a perfect almond balance. And I couldn’t say no to a fried to order dessert with NW huckleberry sauce. These are fluffy, soft and warm, though very filling. I had trouble as a solo diner finishing these and ended up taking some back to my Hostel with me. It was very busy, though my server was very attentive. With the elevated price tag and elevated decor, I was happy to find that the service was also on par. I absolutely recommend this restaurant based on the lovely food and service. If you’re planning to go here, snag a reservation as it’s a hot spot! I watched a lot of diners turn away from the long wait time. It’s a very large restaurant, but the place was packed!! submitted by /u/TheFoodieBee |
