    Great food, nice staff, only two small complaints would be that we were seated in a noisy area when other spots were available & I’d also say that the portion size for the avocado smoked salmon toast was a little smaller than what I’d expect for the price.

    The food here exceeded our expectations, everything was really, really good. We had ahi crudo, carrots, polenta fries, and focaccia to start, and then 3 pastas and the scallops. Everything was delicious, well presented and excellent presentation. The waiter was lovely and very informative. And the prices while a bit high were worth it.

    Cozy yet bustling restaurant in the heart of Ballard Ave. The inside is a bit fancier and the outdoor seating is pretty casual. Excellent food and drinks, and there was a wine expert of staff to make recommendations. I would say we had very good service. We ate early so there was no wait for a table even on a Saturday. I’ll definitely be going back.

    Super quaint vibe. We sat in the front dining area - be sure you’re ok with the occasional cool breeze from the door opening. They have super cozy seats in the back too. The food was fantastic, our server was wonderful, and the ambiance was exactly what we were looking for - quaint, warm, but a little forward leaning and hip.

    Booked our table a month ago, was really excited to visit, The pink door doesn’t let us down. The Food was soooo good and we definitely ordered too much for two, we went straight with 4 Fresh Northwest oysters, Bagna Cauda(Hot Bath), Squid Ink Tonnarelli and Mama’s Meatballs; end up packing it for dinner the night as well, but it was so satisfying. Bagna Cauda (Hot bath) is the most amazing, knowing it’s just a “dip” for veggie, however, it’s different —- you have to try it to know how good it is.
