This was one of the best dinning experiences we have had. Charlotte was a gem! Appetizers: Jumbo Shrimp, prosciutto with Burrata and Cantelope and crap bisque. 10/10 We would get over and over. Entrée: Duck Breast and Sea Bass. 10/10 Done perfectly!! Dirti Martini's made by our lovely Charlotte! The best ones we have had in a very long time!! We cannot wait to come back...

If you would like to enjoy dinner at Alki Beach, Salty’s is the perfect place. They created a wonderful atmosphere to celebrate my daughter birthday, and everything was beautifully arranged. It was an amazing night for my family.

Very quiet Sunday dinner at Pimienta, a wonderful date night experience. The soup of the day was a delicious beef stew - perfect for a chilly fall evening - but it would have been better with some of the always-tasty rustic bread to sop up the last of it. Both the ahi tuna and the scallops were excellent, and an ample amount of food for people trying to avoid the excessive portions so many restaurants pile on. We really enjoyed the meal! The music was delightful as always.

Every visit at Brix25 is brilliant. We love the menu and while most of our favorites are always available, it’s great to try the seasonal changes. We love Tay and her entire team and the way they always make us feel welcomed and special.

The outstanding staff, exceptional service, inviting ambience, and incredible flavors make this Italian restaurant a hidden gem, even with its impressive 4.9 rating. After our dinner, I’d say five stars hardly feels like enough. A sincere thank-you to the entire team for making our evening so memorable. The food was incredible, and the service went well beyond our expectations. The care and attention we received made us feel truly welcome and gave us just as much reason to return as the food itself. This team is proof that no matter how good a business already is, there is always an opportunity to raise the bar. They certainly did that for us. When you’re in Seattle, do yourself a favor and check this place out. It deserves a spot on your list.

    We hosted a team celebration at 2120 for about [17] guests, with happy hour in the half bar lounge followed by dinner, and it was a wonderful evening from start to finish. Milan was fantastic to work with during planning. He answered every question quickly, helped us put together an appetizer and drink package that fit our budget, and was flexible on our final headcount right up to the day of the event. The service was outstanding. Our servers were proactive and professional all night. They anticipated what we needed before we had to ask. The host was just as welcoming, and the whole team adjusted to our last-minute changes without missing a beat. That kind of flexibility makes a group event feel effortless for the person organizing it. Several guests had dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, no pork or beef, and a few food allergies, and the kitchen took care of every one. That meant everyone could relax and enjoy the meal. Thank you to Milan, the host, and the whole 2120 service team for making our celebration memorable. We'd happily come back, and we highly recommend 2120 for any group event in Seattle!

    The view of the Seattle skyline, awash in lights, was breathtaking. Our server was a very amiable young man and he provided amazing service. The food was amazing and my husband went absolutely gaga for the Oysters. Definitely worth the drive from Puyallup and we will do so again.
