Fantastic experience and a journey through fine dining. We were thrilled to be part of the restaurant's 5th year Anniversary and they used the occasion to introduce bison and beef from the Tangen Draw Ranch. There is street parking but we chose to use the nearby Butler Parking garage, a 3 minute walk away. Easy digital payment. There is a wine bar next to the restaurant which made a great place to chill while waiting for our reservation time. The Chardonnay was especially fruity and delightful. 84 Yesler was built on the vision and passion of Takahashi Susumu, a well-known entrepreneur who firmly believes in the revival of the Pioneer Square area and continues to be one of its champions. The restaurant is well-designed, airy interior, an open kitchen, short steps separating two levels of dining spaces. There is a full bar at the rear of the restaurant. The staff are professional and attentive. The dinnerware was carefully selected and a delight to use especially with the uniquely crafted dishes in the special course. The bison tartare was my favorite, so well crafted and complemented. It was fine dining at its best and we were privileged to experience it!

Pappardelle

I moved from Seattle to Chicago a couple years ago and this is the restaurant I always look forward to returning to. The fines herbs pappardelle with lemon beurre blanc & Dungeness crab is a perfect dish, as are the Parmesan churros. Service is quiet and impeccable. The space is gorgeous. This place should have a Michelin star, if they ever visit Seattle

Oysters!!!

We had dinner with a large group last night and did not have any expectation since we are from out of town. The restaurant is very well designed and ambience was dim but not dark, and in my mind, perfect. Service was excellent with Sarah being the star of the night. She was very patient with us, extremely meticulous, and had a great sense of humor! They were also very mindful of making sure the food came out all at once but also made sure food wasn't cold if the guest was away from the table. I had the Far East Old Fashioned which was made with a Japanese whisky, Hibiki. Not usually used in an old fashioned drink but it is a light smoky, citrusy whisky and worked very well with this drink. I'd use the word "crushable" with this drink. So good! Onto the food: simply phenomenal. The appetizers were so good. I thoroughly enjoyed the beef tartare, octopus, and foie gras. It was a toss up for me between the beef tartare and the octopus with the hollandaise sauce and salmon eggs. Both are amazingly delicious. I had the seared scallops and the sea bass. Both were excellent but the sea bass takes the win on this one. The desserts: all were tasty and so dang creative from the flavors to the dry freeze pea powder under the sorbets. In summary, this restaurant ranks exceptionally high and I'd say probably top 5 for me. Compared to other Michelin ranked restaurants, 84 Yesler ranks among them for sure! Compliments to the chef and the team. Amazing restaurant.

Dinner with our friends tonight. I was hesitate due to traffic and parking Parking: we got free street parking around yesler at and around the block. Free after 6pm. Otherwise, 2hr free or you can pay in the parking lot around the block if you arrived way earlier before 6pm. Restroom: clean and gender neutral Japanese style setting due to Japanese owner. When we seated, the owner stopped by our table to greet us and thank us for coming to his restaurant. I love that!! The menu has both tasting menu and a la carte style. We ordered almost every single dish on the menu. Appetizers: Seared foie gras - my fav Burrata - the dandelion leaf us a bit bitter Beef tartare - my Smoked octopus - a tad bit dry Parmesan churros - love it Pasta: Fine herb papardelle - yum Mushroom cestini - love the braised lamb with this Dry aged salmon & gnocchi - gnocchi can be more chewy, salmon a bit dry Large plates: American wagyu ribeye - yummy Seared scallops - very nice, big and juicy Sea Bass - taste like Japanese cod miso kazuzuje Desserts: Citrus pavlova - light and citrucy Tres Leche- my fav, coffee, the cake us super moist Apple cake - a tad too sweet for me Complimentary macadamia hazelnut truffle Overall food is amazing. Most importantly, the service is outstanding. When we were leaving, the owner bow and thanked us again for coming. That's a 5 stars service!! Ps: we were there from 6:15pm-10pm ...lol

Great place for drink. Great service and close enough to the stadiums if you're the area for a ball game. Seems to get pretty busy specially during weekends and parking can be challenging. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Enjoyed a phenomenal meal here while visiting Seattle. The restaurant itself is thoughtfully designed and has beautiful mid century features, which allowed for a relaxed yet intimate dining atmosphere. They offer a chef's tasting menu or a la carte. We decided to select items a la carte, but the tasting menu looked wonderful and we hope to try it next time. We ordered the focaccia, Parmesan churros, crab pappardelle, and the sea bass. Everything was Michelin star level, but the sea bass is what stood out. It was hands down the best fish dish I've had because of the quality, taste, and creativity. The service was also perfect. Everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. We will make this a regular addition to our trips to Seattle from now on.

Loved the food. Service can be slower if there is a private party at the same time when you are there. The chef, Christine is amazing and so is the owner . Food can be more innovative but it's on point with taste.

Beef Tartar
Saraphy H.

My good friend and I visited this cool and cozy restaurant for dinner and it did not disappoint. She got a glass of wine and I ordered a dirty vodka martini - yum! We got the Beef Tartar and Fine Herbs Pappardelle dish which had crab meat in it and boy it was so delicious I had to tell her to shut up and take a bite lol. Afterwards the chef brought out two rich chocolate hazelnut truffles for us and those were yummy too! We were greeted by all the workers, and they were very pleasant! We are definitely going back here!

Holy moly...this is by far my favorite place in Seattle and we make it a point to come here whenever we are in town! It's been 2 visits to Seattle since August and 3 visits to 84 Yesler! The service here is beyond exceptional, as well as the food. It's also such a treat to watch the professionalism and well trained team in the open kitchen - which is extremely quiet. You wouldn't even know they were there if you couldn't see them. They have an on-site sommelier who is always eager to help you pick out wines to go with your food. On our last visit I told him what I liked and he brought out a wine that I had never had before and it was phenomenal and exactly what I was looking for. On another visit, he paired wines with our tasting menu and it was perfection! We've chosen to do the a la carte menu twice and the tasting menu once. You really can't go wrong with whatever you choose! Their menu changes often, as they use fresh ingredients and it's based on what they can locally source. One menu item that I will not go without is the butter bacon lettuce as a salad starter. It is probably the best salad I have ever consumed. I would recommend this to anyone and believe it's always on the menu. The Parmesan churros are also fun and different! All of the pastas I've had here have been my favorite dishes out of everything and I don't think you can go wrong with ordering one of the seasonal pasta dishes on the menu. All of the noodles are homemade and have the perfect bite! Desserts here are gorgeous and not to be missed. Honestly, all dishes I've had here are a work of art...just look at my photos! The chef here knows exactly what she is doing and her team is so well run. The experience you get here is 12/10 from start to finish and I can't wait to go back when I'm in Seattle next. Wish I could get an 84 Yesler in Orlando!

Summary: Excruciatingly slow, but tasty, seafood Details: * Nicer, slightly upscale Italian with a focus on seafood * Pretty solid food all around, and while some of the seafood felt a little overcooked, it didn't detract from the dishes much * Highlights included their beef tartare, parmesan churros, and chocolate truffles (complimentary for everyone, possibly?) * Service was great, but dishes came out excruciatingly slowly, with ~10-15min waits between the three courses our order was broken up into (appetizers, small plates, entrees) Accessibility: There's both an upper and lower level to the restaurant, with the lower being perfectly accessible, so be sure to request when making reservations!

Parmesan Churros... This dish is addictive and inspired.
Alysha S.

Easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle. The food is unique and inspired without being pretentious. Staff is friendly and personable, creating memorable experiences. Do yourself a favor and go, but also sign up for their email list, as they do special dinners and brunches here and there outside of normal hours.

I came across this place by pure chance, and was intrigued by the unanimously positive reviews. With that, as soon as the opportunity came up, I had to check it out, and this place quite lived up to its high praise. From the elegant space with a large open kitchen and open brick walls, to the beautiful and delicious food (both the lobster tajarin and the citrus pavlova were exquisite), to the excellence service, it was all a 5 out of 5 experience.

I am very upset at how my friends and I were treated by the waitstaff at this restaurant after the Truffle Dinner on Nov 30, so I will not be back. The chef and waitstaff are unprofessional for such a "fine dining" restaurant where they charge exorbitant prices. Before Nov 30, I went to this restaurant semi regularly like 5 times a year to the point where everyone recognized my face. I'm not sure why I was treated so poorly despite being a regular customer. I went to this restaurant with a big group of my friends for the Truffle Dinner event because one of my friends really loves this restaurant's special dinners and asked a bunch of us to join. I personally don't like these special dinners and preferred to order a la carte because the special dinners are a poor value but went to hang out. The service took over 3 hours for only 5 courses and many of us were still hungry at the end. Since 2 of my friends and I reserved on Tock for the event, and it was getting late on a work night, 3 of us decided to leave early. We didn't realize that the Tock payment didn't include a service fee/tip until after we left, so we asked one of our friends who stayed behind to cover the additional $50/person of tip for us. We were going to pay him back. A little while later, our friend texts us and says the restaurant charged us additional $30 tax each due to some complicated issue they were having with Tock and their POS. We were en route to go home but decided to go back to the restaurant to fix the bill since we were double taxed. We went back and found our waiter. Our waiter, Justin, would not help us and blamed us for leaving before paying taxes and tip like we were trying to dine and dash. We already paid the tax through Tock but he insisted it was a booking fee and that we didn't pay them tax. He even said he gave the person who footed the rest of our bill a bottle of wine "for his troubles", as if this person was a random benevolent stranger who sympathized with the restaurant, and not our friend. The waiter acted like we tried to screw the restaurant over or were bad customers for leaving so he wasn't going to help us any further. This is after they charged $320 each for the meal plus the $30 in double tax. Anyway, Sam the owner sees this exchange and asks us to write him an email to get the refund. He gives us his business card. We oblige and leave the restaurant since everyone was tired. My friend, Yen, writes the email but Sam refers us to email Christina who is the head chef and head of waitstaff. She basically tells us the same story the waiter did and accuses us of walking out on the bill and that the over charge happened because of our misunderstanding with Tock. She basically told us to go take it up with Tock even though it was the restaurant who was incompetent and can't figure out their own system and double charged us tax. We were eventually able to get our money back through contacting Sam again but it took us 4 days of emailing back and forth. I also wrote 84 Yesler an email giving them feedback about the whole experience and how the service needs to improve since they are trying for James Beard award. Christina then responds and chides me for bothering an 82 year old man and causing him undue stress and that in the future I should just email her. I'm shocked at this rude response because Christina refused to help us and also the owner Sam, gave us his business card and told us to contact him. Christiana and the waiter refused to help us so what were we supposed to do other than bother the owner? It was weird how the owner Sam asked us to contact him but then the head chef stepped in and told us off. I never got a genuine apology except the fake "I'm sorry, you walked out on the bill, go contact Tock" story. Anyway regarding the food here. The only two dishes worth a salt are the Lobster Tajarin and the foie gras. These two dishes are exceptional I'll give them that. Christiana excels at cooking Italian dishes. They keep raising the prices on them though. The tajarin used to be $32 now it's over $40. The rest of the menu is only okay and the cocktails are mediocre at best. The special event menus (eg Truffle dinner, Japan night, NYE) are a total rip off and you will leave hungry after a 3-4 hour dinner. I enjoyed the truffle meal despite the little amount of food but the dishes are a hit or miss. The Italian themed meals are the best as that's the cuisine where the chef excels but the Asian, American, themed ones are no good. If you get a wine pairing, you'll be leaving with a $500 dent to your wallet, otherwise over $300 for just food. 84 Yesler has no business charging 2 star Michelin star level prices for the mediocre service and little amount of food they give here. No surprise they didn't make even James Beard semi finalists. I've been here at least 7 times (lost count) in the last 2 years but will not be returning due to my most recent experience.

Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

The First Gentleman was attentive and we got our drinks and an appetizer timely. We ordered our second appetizer with our first server and thats where the service deteriorated. I could hear the table next to us ordered the exact same appetizer as we did 10-15 mins after we did and a new server who must had just clocked in brings them the order literally within 2-3 mins later and the male commented, "oh that was fast" and I thought to myself they got our order. Another 10-15 mins go by and I had to ask "do you know how long our order will take to which she seemed to get annoyed. It could have my energy because by that time I was annoyed. I'm not sure what happened to our original server but he must have gotten off. About 5-10 mins goes by and here it comes. That confirmed the table next to us got our order because of how long it took. They never apologized for their mistake. Doing all that time they never came back to see if we would like another drink. I had to flag someone down. The clincher was we got our bill and there was 22% service charge. That was on me because if I would have seen it I might not have gone. I'm not a fan of automatically charging a service charge. I'm a great tipper but it must be earned. By than I was really annoyed and thought to have a conversation with the manager but let it go. I would not go back. The craft cocktails are spendy but I had no problem with that because they're creative and they earned it by being creative. But the energy and the environment wasn't like the other speak easy bars I visited. It was boring and to top it off the service charge of 22% and the service that came with it sealed it for me. Make sure to read the website on their thought around the 22%.

When the city reopened in 2021, I was eating here almost every day; partly because of convenience, but mainly because the food and service never miss. I've hosted everything here: birthday celebrations, after-work hangs, and dinners with friends and colleagues. Every single time, it's a hit. People walk in, fall in love with the vibe, and walk out talking about the food. The consistency is unreal. They even order food to go. The flavors? Bold, intentional, and layered in a way that makes each dish feel crafted, not just cooked. The presentation is always stunning; plates that look as good as they taste. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they send out. Drinks are equally impressive. Their cocktails are balanced and creative, the kind that make you slow down just to appreciate the mixology behind them. And for anyone planning group outings: reservations here are a breeze. They're incredibly accommodating with large parties, and the service stays sharp even when the place is packed. Attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced; they know how to take care of people. Dead Line checks every box: atmosphere, flavor, presentation, service, and seamless hosting for big groups. It's easily one of the most reliable and enjoyable spots in downtown Seattle, and it's stayed that way for years.

We got our appetizers before our drinks: Brussel sprouts (SO YUMMY), oysters, and truffle fries (towered in parm!). These went down super quick. I then ordered the pork arepa for my entree and wow...not what i was expecting but will never regret! One of my favorite dishes I've had in a while that I'll keep thinking about. All the flavors worked so well together and the arepa itself was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork was sweeter due to the marinade and not salty at all which i preferred. Will 100% be back!

Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town.
