We were seated a bit before our actual reservation time and next to the windows with a view of Elliot Bay. Our server, Abbey , was so personable and professional and just delightful. We had the antipasto to start along with delicious garlic bread. My husband had the sole and I had the celery pear soup. It was all delicious and we felt the service was impeccable.

One of my favorite restaurants. I have been coming here for years and it has always been delicious and an enjoyable time. Their summer patio set up is really pretty. It gives the vibe of a different ambiance that you could forget you're on West Hastings between towers. I hope they continue with it permanently.
