Walt, Seattle

The menu is broad and interesting, as is the wine list, although on this visit we drank wine by the glass, which was a limited selection but nice wines from the Northwest, CA, France, Italy, Spain, and others. We had nice wine, good food, prompt but not "rushing" service and the price was reasonable. I've paid more for less interesting and tasty food. I'll keep going back there.

Liked: Food and service.
Disliked: Noise.

l A great place to go for a meal! My wife and I recently had breakfast at this restaurant. The service was great and so was the food. The servings are large, so bring an appetite.
