Fantastic dinner. Was our last night in town and we needed a spot for team dinner. Following a subpar dining / service experience the night before at a different Seattle restaurant, we were looking to end the trip on a high note. This place did not disappoint!! Truly great service, food, and drink! After a lingering dinner, headed to their speakeasy style bar next door for a nightcap. Highly recommend this spot!!
