A little pricey, but absolutely fantastic food. It was so good we went twice in one weekend. The only disappointing factor, and the reason I give it four stars, is because the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service fee onto your tab. Only 12% goes to your server, the rest to the corporation. So the servers aren’t getting what they deserve, unless you decide to tip more. That’s just a lot of extra fees and tipping. But the 20% service fee seems to be at all restaurants in downtown Seattle. So disappointing.","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":"","pid":24734815,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/24734815-1","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"food","width":5000,"height":3333,"timestamp":"2016-10-05T10:29:18Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":23682407,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/23682407-1","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"interior","width":247,"height":266,"timestamp":"2015-03-31T02:05:01Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":"","pid":24734817,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/24734817-1","creator":null,"source":"Restaurant","category":"food","width":5000,"height":3333,"timestamp":"2016-10-05T10:29:39Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":43470155,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/43470155-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":9248,"height":6936,"timestamp":"2021-09-17T15:13:35Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":42856236,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/42856236-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":4000,"height":3000,"timestamp":"2021-08-23T16:57:03Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":41817652,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/41817652-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":1960,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2021-03-28T21:45:25Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":25734239,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/25734239-0","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":4032,"height":3024,"timestamp":"2018-08-10T00:05:29Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":25197351,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/25197351-0","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2017-12-08T23:28:05Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":25197350,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/25197350-0","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2017-12-08T23:28:03Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":52616955,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/52616955-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2023-05-13T20:06:57Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":77054290,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/77054290-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2025-04-25T19:46:51Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":51762673,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/51762673-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"interior","width":3024,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2023-03-13T17:38:56Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":46822572,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/46822572-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":2268,"height":4032,"timestamp":"2021-11-24T19:50:33Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":43498424,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/43498424-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":4032,"height":3024,"timestamp":"2021-09-21T20:50:10Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"},{"title":null,"pid":42856234,"url":"//resizer.otstatic.com/v3/photos/42856234-1","creator":null,"source":"Diner","category":"exterior","width":4000,"height":3000,"timestamp":"2021-08-23T16:57:02Z","__typename":"GalleryPhotoV3"}],"__typename":"GalleryPhotosV3","totalCount":690,"categories":[{"name":"food","count":620,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"exterior","count":33,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"drink","count":24,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"interior","count":8,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"other","count":4,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"},{"name":"menu","count":1,"__typename":"PhotoCategories"}],"showMosaic":true},"profile":{"large":{"url":"https://images.otstatic.com/prod/23682407/1/large.jpg","width":640,"height":640,"__typename":"Thumbnail"},"__typename":"RestaurantProfile"},"__typename":"RestaurantPhotos"},"address":{"line1":"1201

A little pricey, but absolutely fantastic food. It was so good we went twice in one weekend. The only disappointing factor, and the reason I give it four stars, is because the restaurant automatically adds a 20% service fee onto your tab. Only 12% goes to your server, the rest to the corporation. So the servers aren’t getting what they deserve, unless you decide to tip more. That’s just a lot of extra fees and tipping. But the 20% service fee seems to be at all restaurants in downtown Seattle. So disappointing.","rating":{"food":5,"service":4,"ambience":5,"value":4,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":3,"nickname":"Brenda","metro":{"metroId":5,"displayName":"Denver","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"B","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":{"message":"Thank you for sharing your concerns about our service charge model.
