What a delightful evening and so sad our first experience will be our last as this lovely restaurant is closing. Everything we had was delicious (the 84 board and apple cake). Sam and Christina made a great team and we're sorry we didn't find them sooner. read more

84 Yesler - The 84 board. - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had an absolutely lovely time with my parents and husband they cannot stop talking about how great the food was! We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and the whole meal was lovely. Server was kind explained everything to us and wine pairings for each dish. Was very nice and lowkey but elegant energy. They were very accommodating of my mother's gluten allergy. Stand out favs My husband cannot stop talking about the amuse-bouche beignet with wagyu on top. I personally don't care for mushrooms but when they gave us the mushroom tempura with honey and goat cheese it was so balanced and airy I literally loved it and would eat it all the time if I could! Beef Wellington was of course fantastic and everyone loved it around the table. The desert was so soft sweet and citrusy with the right amount of cream to crunch and mix of textures! The Butternut Squash Ravioli was insane as well and normally I hate beets but loved the scallop with beets. One dish I'd say was not one I'd care for agin was the 2nd fish one. read more

0.5/5 Stars - $120+ / person for incompetence wrapped in "fine dining" pretense. Skip 84 Yesler unless you enjoy lighting money on fire while starving. We brought a 4-inch birthday cake for our party of six. Their "storage fee"? $6 per person - $36 to refrigerate a cake smaller than a dinner plate. This predatory pricing set the tone for the evening's exploitation. Service: the service here was a masterclass in neglect. Our waitress took drink orders 20 minutes after five of us arrived (one friend in traffic). Everyone's wine appeared 20 minutes after the order was placed. My sparkling water? Vanished into the void. When our sixth guest arrived 25 minutes after our reservation time, her non-alcoholic drink was served in 10 minutes. Mine remained forgotten. We sat for nearly an hour before anyone took our food order - not because we were slow, but because the skeleton crew couldn't manage basic table coverage. It was impossible to make eye contact with our waitress as she spun frantically across the dining room. When I finally ordered food, I had to remind them about my sparkling water. Another 30-40 minutes crawled by before four small appetizers and six entrees emerged. The pacing was so chaotic that a server tried removing our clean plates meant for entrees, mistaking our abandoned table for one already finished. He left our actual dirty appetizer plates behind... Food: Cold, greasy, and confusing. The house-made focaccia bread was an oil slick. The seasonal vegetable plate arrived room temperature - clearly dying under non-existent heat lamps in their visible open kitchen (I watched plates languish on the counter for ages, when I was forced to spend forever waiting for my own food). When we flagged this, our server insisted it was "supposed to be room temperature," then immediately took it back to reheat it. Pick a story. My sea bass wore dark pools of aggressively sour sauce that obliterated the miso seasoning - fusion cuisine as friendly fire. The only efficiency is when they served our bill. The check almost showed up instantly, complete with mandatory 20% gratuity. Of course, why rush service when the tip is guaranteed? We paid $120+ each to leave hungry, frustrated, and certain this restaurant has neither standards for its food nor respect for its clearly overworked staff. If you're charging fine-dining prices, deliver fine-dining execution - or at minimum, remember the water. read more

84 Yesler - Sea bass (the decorating dark pearls are some weird sour dressing that doesn't go well with the fish at all) (rating: 2.5/5) - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Beautiful restaurant with an open kitchen - idk man I'm a sucker for open kitchens and getting to see the chefs make ur food Seafood was really fresh too but wouldn't expect any less from a fine restaurant in Seattle Food was overall good! But steak was kinda tough ESP for the price and desserts were FAR too sweet (esp the brownie) but this is coming from an Asian girly soo do with that what you will IG: Spillingthe.beans read more

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! read more

Thank you for the great customer service. Took care of us coming off a cruise! Thank you much appreciated

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

84 Yesler - Pappardelle - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

An absolute must try if you are in the downtown Seattle area. From the lounge interior to the amazing food and staff, this place hits just right. We booked reservations well before our visit, and I recommend you do as well as it is a smaller venue and fills up fast (because it's amazing). The menu does vary based on seasonal offerings, which is a fun add. Our server was quick to offer suggestions and samples for wines we had questions on. Then she graciously followed up with food recommendations and carefully navigated my allergy to ensure my choices were safe. The interior is warm, inviting and reminiscent of an upscale lounge. They offer an open view of the kitchen so you can see all the food being created. Overall: A+ Nothing was missed here, excellent. read more

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. read more

Be careful if you make a reservation here. A few months ago I made an online same day reservation. Within a half hour I decided to cancel and went back online and was told I could not cancel. As soon as the restaurant opened I called, spoke to a live person, explained what happened and they said fine we'll cancel for you. A few days later I had a charge on my credit card for $100 from 84 Yesler. I called again and was told I was charged the $100 because they do not allow cancellations within 24 hours to the reservation time. There was no mention of this policy when I first reserved nor when they agreed to cancel my reservation a few hours later nor could I find it anywhere on their website. The woman I spoke to said they would check into it and get back to me in a few days. They never got back to me. I disputed the charge with my credit card company. I will not be eating at a place that treats potential customers with such disregard. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

After emailing Sam the owner yet again and filing a dispute with my credit card, I finally got $100 check from Sam to cover for the tax and fees from tock that they were supposed to have refunded when me and two others in my group came back to rectify the bill. Not happy that it required so much emailing over four days when it should have been resolved that night. I still don't care to come back. read more

Everything about this restaurant was excellent. The service was above and beyond. The owner came over to say hello and was extremely kind and made you feel welcomed dining at his restaurant.

I've have multiple meals at 84 Yesler and all of them have been phenomenal. This weekend my husband and I enjoyed a birthday celebration with several friends and once again the experience did not disappoint. From the food and drinks to the ambience (no joke - they have some of the nicest bathrooms ever), 84 Yesler has become one of my top 3 favorite places to take people we love when planning a great night out. Our stand out menu favorites this weekend were the beef tartare, grilled romaine salad, lobster tajarin, and the ribeye. My friends were crazy about the peach melba, though I could not have been happier about ending my meal with the apple cake + honeycrisp sorbet . Absolutely delicious! Special shout out to Hunter and the rest of the staff who are always so warm and approachable. We had a great time chatting about the local restaurant scene and lamenting about how Michelin doesn't come to the PNW. Their loss is our gain for now though, as we'll continue enjoying being able to get a reservation until Michelin realizes what they're missing! read more

The service and the food are wonderful. The food was inventive and fresh, fun to eat. The ambiance is delightful. Highly recommend.

誕生日の失望 (Birthday disappointment) TL;DR: it was fine. Not worth $1k for a meal for three diners, but ok. Six-course tasting menus + wine pairings were anonymously and hygienically delivered, but nothing in this experience was more than... meh. Full story: my son flew from his Army station in Georgia to join me for my 58th birthday, and we had a great day watching the Apple Cup, culminating in a meal with my wife at 84 Yesler. I'd mentioned the context in my online reservation, and we were greeted with... nothing showing that this was anything other than a table for three. Fine. We ordered what we considered (somewhat in a vacuum, since there were no recommendations) the works: three six-course tasting menus plus wine pairings. The server politely accepted the order, and left. The meal was... meh. Amouse bouche was a tiny, bisected brûléed fig in an uninspired, oversized pastry cup with a dab of bleu cheese. It was ok. First course of a half, tiny tempura'd mushroom. Eh. Second course was Unagi on brioche toast, which was quite nice paired with a Riesling. Third course (I think) was some bites of kelp gnocchi with a bit of roe, not bad. Fourth course was "dry aged salmon" in a dab of dashi broth. It was definitely salmon, definitely not very interesting. Fifth course was a dry, very petite beef short rib with some truffle sauce. Not very good, but nice idea? Dessert was some uninspired combo of caramel popcorn, a spoonful of something sorbet-adjacent, and maybe some other sweet starch thing with a couple of slices of blackberry? It's been an hour, and hard to recall. The wines with the meal were almost as memorable. The bill, complete with 20% tip added so we didn't have to hurt ourselves with computational exertion, was $949. It was not worth it. Reasonable at half the price, I suppose. read more

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend! Would go again! Made a reservation for a weeknight on Resy and got reminder text messages. Upon entering, someone (I believe the owner) offered to take our umbrella and then the host checked us in and got us seated quickly. I loved our table. It was big enough for a party of 4 but my husband and I shared it together with the two chairs facing the kitchen so we could watch everyone hard at work making beautiful dishes. I didn't realize the owner was Japanese but immediately took in the Japanese decor and my husband ordered the Calpico Cocktail as well. It made us feel more at home as we are both Japanese Americans. We initially thought of ordering off the menu but the tasting menu was highly recommended by the staff so we did that instead! We both were required to order it. It was $125/person plus I got a wine pairing for an additional $75/person. Everything was so beautifully plated and yummy! The depth of flavors of each ingredient and then all of it together in one bite was so enjoyable! Loved the wines too, especially the dessert wine. My favorites were the Wild Mushroom Dashi Broth and Corn Agnolotti. What they had in common were mushrooms and lately I've been really into them and so excited to eat both Matsutake and Chanterelles. We also ordered half a dozen oysters (yum!) and were given a few complimentary dishes and dessert wines as well which was so unexpected and made us really happy. We saw other tables ordering the Milk Bread which we wanted to try but were too full to add on. Chef Shawn Applin stopped by several times to chat, telling us about the dishes and asking what our favorites were. Thanks Chef for the complimentary dishes as well! We also enjoyed speaking with everyone we interacted with there - chatting about the upcoming Seahawks game and taking down notes on the wines we tried and hoped to buy in the future. Service overall was top notch - this is a type of place where you never have to ask for a refill of your water because it's always topped off before your glass gets empty. New plates and silverware are provided for every dish. Restrooms are very clean, the bar looked well stocked, tables are socially distanced. Whether for a special occasion or a casual (but pricey) dinner, we would highly recommend trying this place and we hope to be back on our next trip to Seattle! read more

84 Yesler, a beautiful and modern restaurant located in busy Pioneer Square, offers a luxurious selection of small bites, pastas, and seasonal meat and fish dishes. The dishes are beautiful works of art and delicious to eat but be ready to pay a hefty premium for them! 1) Service (+): Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We made a reservation ahead of time for an early Friday evening and most of the tables were fully occupied soon after 7pm. 2) Ambience (+): I love the sleek and modern atmosphere of the restaurant - the open kitchen was also a nice touch! 3) Food (+): To start, we shared several small plates including beef tartare (featuring crispy shallots, egg yolk jam, and capers on parmesan crisps), parmesan churros (doughy peppers wrapped in parmesan and deep fried), and Octopus "Bacon". For our mains, I had the pumpkin Tortelli pasta, which was seasoned with butternut squash puree and sage brown butter for the perfect fall treat. My friends ordered the sea bass and steak - these looked good but were very pricy. We shared 2 desserts - the chocolate cake and pear tart, both were delicious and beautiful! 4) Alcohol/Drinks (+): There is a large selection of wines and cocktails here. I had a delicious yuzu/Calpico (Asian yogurt drink) cocktail that was super refreshing and combined two of my favorite things in a drink. 5) Value for Money (-): 84 Yesler is definitely a very upscale restaurant and the dishes are very expensive for the small portions. The presentation is beautiful but I did not think it justified the exorbitant price tag. Small plates cost around $20 each, with pastas in the $25-$30 range and fish and meat entrees in the $30-$50 range. read more

Was in town visiting an old friend and due to the pandemic, nothing seemed to be open. We took a chance and they had early tables open and we were able to be seated right away. With an open kitchen we found the mid-Century kitchen to be welcoming as the crew was instructed on the evening's menu. We were also celebrating my kid's last good menu before a year of dorm food. As mentioned, this was an impromptu reservation so I had no idea of the Michael Mina pedigree as we were just looking for something that was open. We started off with the octopus and the tartare which were delicious. We each then followed with our separate pasta dishes, a gnochhi, an agnolotti, and a tagliarini. They were all equally delicious. We had room to share a coconut white chocolate ganache and an almond cake dessert. Hopefully this restaurant will still be around in a few years for a nice graduation celebration. read more

If you are gourmet like me this place is for you. I made a reservation week prior coming. I am fan of fusion, different flavors and out of the box creative meals which is very hard to find in Seattle. This place is one of kind in Seattle. Walking distance from downtown. We ordered 2 glasses of wine. Perfect. No cocktails, just a glass of good wine. 1st dish was octopus with bacon-very creative but I think dish was too small. But flavors and sauces were on point! Interesting balance and crispy texture of bacon with perfectly seared octopus. 2nd dish was foie gras it was that good that we ended up ordering one more. I just cant help myself when I see foie gras on the menu. Perfectly seared with sea salt on the top with balsamic pear and warm brioche. 3rd was hand made fresh pasta with spicy sausage. Perfection!!! No heavy dripping sauce just perfectly flavorful pasta itself with parmesan and sausage. Just mind blowing. Simple & perfect! 4th was dessert - almond cake with mascarpone almond crisps and almond ice cream. OMG one of the best desserts in my life! This is such a perfect balance between crispy, creamy and nice soft sponge almond cake. We had amazing time and waiter suggested that this menu is seasonal so it will be changing pretty soon. So I cant wait to see what new dishes they will have! The menu is small but I can assure you every dish they have on the menu is cooked to perfection and you will not make a wrong choice. Excellent service, plate & silverware change in the between. read more

Easily the best meal we had in Seattle. Everything was perfection from the moment we set foot inside through our departure. The food exceeded our expectations. Generally, most restaurants have some dishes that are stronger than others, but not a single item from 84 Yesler disappointed. We ordered a half dozen small plates followed by desserts. The octopus, parmesan churros, tuna tartare, and Japanese milk breads were delicious. The seared foie gras was possibly the best preparation of the dish we've ever experienced and the mussels were definitely the best I've ever had, ever. We ended with the almond cake and coconut ganache and didn't leave a single morsel behind. The service was as lovely as the food. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive and the vibe was really nice - elegant, but laid back. I enjoy fine dining much more when the environment isn't overly stuffy. I highly recommend 84 Yesler for anyone looking to have an incomparable dining experience. read more

04/15/2023 CHECK THE MENU by calling or messaging. Even the website doesn't have a complete updated menu! Appetizers: 1. A dozen of so-so raw Miyagi oysters. Not as flavorful as Kumamoto oysters. Maybe we didn't get the good batch? Not sure. I have not tried Miyagi before; so nothing to compare for the same type of oysters. 2. Grilled Octopus with albino asparagus and salmon roe! Yum... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Perfect texture on the squid balanced with some crispiness. Heck now I'm curious how it's cooked. The waiter said smoked first then pan fried. WOW!!! MUST TRY!!! MUST!!! Main: 1. Lobster Tajarin. Little bit more flavor than the snapper. Nothing impressive. 2. Snapper. Presentation 5/5. Texture of the fish 5/5, cooked to perfection. Taste 2.5/5. There is not a whole lot flavor on this dish. Had to ask for pepper and salt trying to bring up the flavor. After the octopus, my expectation automatically went up. I am disappointed. Desert: Citrus Pavlova 4.5/5 for this dessert. The flavor is very refreshing, very light, and presentation is great! The only regret is why using the Buddhist Fingers lemon? It tasted super sour with bitterness. Not a fan at all. The rest was amazing!!! Additional disappointments: 1. Another waiter cleaned the table right next to us while we were still eating. I can smell the chemical solution used and totally ruined our appetite. 2. Our waiter was a bit spaced-out? A little ADD? He definitely forgot many things we asked, however, he would tender to the loud annoying couple sat at the end whom both had a loud laughs and pretty disturbing. She yelled across our table to the kitchen staff saying the waiter (theirs and ours) need a raise! Let's put it this way. Yes, it's not a super expensive restaurant, but certainly not Maggiano's either. Our bill was around $200 for the two of us. Maybe this issue is relative to some people. Still, we deserve to enjoy a nice dinner without jumping off my seats from disturbing guests. Worse, our waiter was happily entertaining their behavior. Great! Will we come back? Leaning towards not because there are many other great restaurants to try and this one doesn't really deserve a comeback for us. read more

Had my 40th birthday here last night. Every single thing from start to finish was fantastic. I've been disappointed in meals out in seattle lately but 84 Yesler did not disappoint. I'd order every dish I tried again! read more

What an experience! This is what true fine dining is - from being warmly greeted outside the front door, being seated in a quiet, private space, being professionally waited on - helping with the wine selection and special offerings. The service was perfectly timed - never a feeling of being ignored or hovered over. Now - the food! Every course was a sensual treat - the presentation, the aromas, the flavors, the colors, taste. There were 8 in our party and we all were saying "Oh my God, you have got to try this" as we offered each a taste of our meals. I have traveled the world a bit and this is, by far, the most memorable dining experience we all have had! Oh, and the head chef came out introduce herself to thank us, as well as the owner of the restaurant. What an evening! read more

This is a gem helmed by a star chef who marries PNW favorites with an artistry that is both complex and simple, creating flavor profiles you didn't realize you needed to experience. Definitely share plates! Each bite is a journey you don't want to miss. From the fantastic cocktails to the dessert, the food and service were outstanding. To cap off the night, the chef poured her heart into an apple cake inspired from her mom's orchard. It's a delightful homage to family and flavor that perfectly caps off an unforgettable meal. read more

84 Yesler - Seared foie gras with foie infused cotton candy, lingonberry, on brioche. - Italian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Hidden gem! The food here is amazing. We shared the steak, scallops, papperdelle and cavatelli and each dish was delicious. I would highly recommend all of them. Our starters were also just as good-octopus, gem salad and beef tartare. The space is very airy and cozy. I would love to bring a group here and just hang out in the seating at the front. There's a couple of pay lot about a block away which was easy to get to. I know Pioneer Square has gotten a bad rep and that's why we took so long to go but our family of three felt very safe. Can't wait to go back. read more

We happened to pay a visit during an art walk, they had a selection of wine and appetizers where we were treated by Sam who was very genuine and warm. We sat at the bar which was gorgeous. Zach helped us make a delicious selection of crafted cocktails and food prepared by a culinary genius, chef Christina. You will feel spoiled by the staff walking into here. read more
