    This is our annual anniversary dinner. The Capital Grille never disappoints. The steaks are delicious. The sides are amazing and generous. Love the Stoli Doli. The wine was great. We had plenty to take home, too.

    Wonderful French inspired cuisine and great service. And prices that don’t break the bank like some others in the Pike place market. Also no hidden 20% gratuity— again unlike many are now doing in the area.

    Enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at Wild Ginger. The restaurant seemed less than fully staffed for the amount of customers present, even though the place was far from full. Despite this the staff were all upbeat, friendly, helpful, and did not rush their interactions with us. They made sure our table had a fantastic holiday meal that will be fondly remembered. The food was amazing! Unique flavors, beautiful presentation, so delicious! The women’s restroom was a total mess, not at all what I would expect from the price point of this establishment. It looked like it had not been checked since opening. Supplies were out or low, paper all over the floor, water pooling on the counters, a notable disaster. Patrons enjoying a multi-course, family style meal will be at the restaurant a long time and are likely to use the facilities. It’s part of the experience and so easy to keep tidy and stocked. Everyone in our party loved our meal and were pleased with our choice to dine at Wild Ginger.

    This was my third time dining at Sushi Kashiba and I will be back. Yes, it is expensive, but the food, presentation, and service are amazing. Absolutely the best dining experiences I've ever had. The servers are so professional and very attentive. They are very passionate about their work, the food they serve, and the artistry of the chefs.

    Our waiter, David made this experience for us. We had a wonderful time. The food was plentiful but honestly could have been fresher. Also some things didn’t work…consider sticking to the classics like a cucumber sandwich without modifications. It’s a staple of every high tea for a reason.
