We always come here for delicious food and we were not disappointed. Who can beat a lovely bowl of Lobster Mobster Chowder and a fish and chips. Just the best. Layla was our excellent server. Very attentive and sociable.

The food was outstanding as was the service! The only minus is the parking situation; had to go several blocks up a side street to find parking. However, it won't keep us from coming back to this wonderful restaurant! See you soon!

Palisade is the best! I look forward to taking going here with my family every time I’m in Seattle. The food is prepared perfectly! We had 3 different seafood dishes and each one was perfectly done- moist, flakey, and with great flavors that complimented each fish (that would be black cod, king salmon, and Chilean sea bass). Service is attentive without being intrusive. Brian saw to it that from water to dessert, we were satisfied. Music started to get too loud to talk, but the manager remedied that quickly. We were then able to enjoy conversation and the live music. With the view of the marina and downtown Seattle plus all of good food and service, we are always satisfied.
