    We brought a family member in from out of town and he was blown away by the exceptional service from Ellie and he declared it was the best chicken he had ever had! Chef Josh came out to say hello which was very special. All in 10 out of 10! I know we will be back before our guest departs, and of course it was already one of our favorites!

    Definitely a nice, family-friendly place. Great service from very kind staff. The "all family style" format is a little weird and harder to manager with a family of four, but we made it work. Good prices for what we got. Food is a 4 out of 5. Love that they take reservations. Great location on Lake Union!

    Loved the tomato, burata salad, the tomatoes were amazing! So glad they had this salad option as had planned to order the arugula salad. Some greens would go good with their food. Cheeseburger is delicious and enjoyed the clam dip! All the servers were so conscientious and available during a busy 4th of July dinner. Really appreciated their service!
