Benjamin, affectionately nicknamed “Montana” for the evening was absolutely delightful. He went above and beyond for our group. He was patient with our never ending questions and truly made the whole experience memorable. The food was otherworldly and I cannot recommend the butter and sage pasta enough. I will come back every time I’m in Seattle!

Our waiter was amazing. The lighting is amazing. Blown away by the food. We got free bubbles because it was an anniversary. It is everything I love about restaurants. Small tight but not cramped. Intimate but also not secluded. The food was so good. Even the butter slapped. I ate the little leftovers I had in the dark like gollum in the middle of the night it’s so good
