They are understaffed, there's only one person bartending/serving and another in the kitchen. There was a long wait to be seated, a long wait to order and a long wait to get our oysters. 20% gratuity is added to all orders, which is ridiculous considering the slow service. There's also a 3% credit card fee. As much as I like wine bars, I won't return to this one.

My partner and I are just in the beginning stages of wine education and we absolutely loved this place. The selection of reds are amazing and yes the cursive on the chalk board is hard to focus on at a distance but you just have to read. Not too hard. Laura was an amazing guide and I could not get enough of her, she took really good care of us. She was knowledgeable, effervescent, with just a touch of sassiness; which my partner and I live for!!!! She really made our night. Great vibes all around and I feel like I really learned something about French wines and just wine overall. When I come back to downtown I will be sure to frequent this wine bar because, honey. I'm a fan!!!!!

Decent gastropub with a small happy hour menu. I went on a Wednesday and it was not busy at all, so…read moreI was able to choose any seat I wanted. Fairly cozy restaurant with a back portion for events or more seating during busier meals. We tried the following - Karaage wings - quite umami, a hint of curry and spices, does not really look like chicken wings - Blasted broccoli - delicious with the lemon aioli on the side. A little overcooked but a nice take on the broccolini that is usually prepared in this manner - Duck breast - I liked the meat itself - very flavorful, but I didn't like the reduction and the sage leaves did not add much flavor - Pork belly - very hearty. The chimichurri kind of clashes with the flavor a bit but cuts down the heavy fat. Potato texture was a bit interesting - Sumac hummus and cucumbers - a healthy option off happy hour. Nice that it was served with flatbread - Cracked olive salad - a bit pickly, I personally do not like olives in this manner but my friend enjoyed it - Citrus Paradisi - quite a strong cocktail, but not quite well-balanced. For $13, it was satisfactory for alcohol strength, but quality could be improved Service is decent as food was brought in a timely manner and we did not need to wait long to get the bill, etc.

The tacos , the beef shank - omg that beef shank was outta this world.. the staff was very nice and made us feel at home - Easy parking . You will like the decor . It's simple yet stylish. I like the open floor plan with planet of spaces to sit. The bar area is nice to eat at as well.

Redemption arcs are real, and Limoncello Belltown nailed it…read more My first visit here a year ago didn't wow me, but I came back for a second try and it was night and day. Limoncello has officially earned top-tier Italian status in my book. The vibe is cozy, quaint Italian corner restaurant, and despite how busy it was, the service made us feel like the only table in the room. Perfectly timed check-ins, no hovering, no disappearing acts. We started with the house-made Limoncello flight, which was excellent across the board. Multiple flavors of Limoncello are my jam. The classic was my favorite, but the Orangecello deserves a shoutout. Naturally, I followed that up with the Limoncello signature cocktail, which was dangerously smooth, and a Bellini that was beautifully balanced. The Bruschetta Limoncello is generous enough to count as a meal for light eaters. Perfect focaccia piled high with Italian goodness. For mains, the Ravioli di Carne delivered pillowy pasta, a well-balanced filling, and a sauce that could easily stand on its own. The Pollo Pizzaiolo con Pasta was the standout for me. Perfectly cooked chicken cutlets, ideal al dente pasta, and a sauce I would absolutely buy by the container. No dessert this time (rookie mistake), but that just means I'll be back sooner rather than later. Unlike an ex-partner, second chances were taken and rewarded.

Love a great accidental find. Those are the meals that sparkle a little extra, like stumbling into…read morea hidden courtyard mid-city Here's a polished review you can copy and post: We stumbled into Limoncello on a whim while downtown and it turned into one of those "so glad we found this place" kind of dinners. The restaurant was packed, which always feels like a good sign, and the energy matched. Beautiful, funky, fun atmosphere with great vibes. The food was outstanding. I had the polenta with prawns and we shared the cod. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Every bite landed. The service was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, especially impressive given how busy they were. Drinks were equally strong. I had an Aperol cocktail and a my date had an old fashion, and both were excellent. Highly recommend if you're in downtown Seattle and want great food, great drinks, and a lively, stylish atmosphere.

The prices aren't too exorbitant--at least by SF Bay Area standards--and the beers/cider came out ice cold. The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow, but she got the job done. One really can't beat the views here. They don't hurry you out of the needle, so slow down, grab a beer, relax and enjoy the world go by. Plus, it's a great people watching space!

Another Pike Place Gem! Wines of Washington Tasting Room is a must try. This is easily one of the…read moremost unique tasting rooms I've been to. Amazing wines, creative cocktails, solid snacks, great service and even games. You could wander in "for one flight" and somehow emerge six hours later wondering where the time went (in the best way.) On the wine side, they offer several thoughtfully curated flights, or you can build your own adventure. Which I highly recommend. The dessert wines alone are incredible, and the selection of aromatic whites is seriously impressive. No matter your palate, there's something here that will make you pause, sip again, and nod approvingly. And then there are the wine-based cocktails that deserve their own standing ovation. A wine tasting room doing cocktails this well is rare. We tried the Espresso Martini, the French 125, and the Lavender Lemon Martini, and every single one was better than I expected grape-based cocktails to be. Like, pleasantly shocked. Bottom line: if you're anywhere near Pike Place and enjoy wine (or cocktails, or fun, or all of the above) this place is a must. I can almost guarantee it'll become your new favorite spot.

I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

Hands down the best lasagna I've ever had!…read more I was so excited to read on the menu that their lasagna didn't have spinach (which I'm allergic to) or ricotta (which is my least favourite cheese). It's so rare to find an authentic elevated lasagna, and this one, was on a whole other level. I'm obsessed with the addition of chopped carrot and maybe celery that gave the lasagna more texture and I adored how perfectly the meat and cheese were layered. My boyfriend described the flavour as almost having a sharp hint of cinnamon over the top like it was cooked in a delectable wine. The rest of the dinner was also delicious! I didn't get photos of the bread basket because my boyfriend was super hungry, but he loved how perfectly toasted the bread was. I'm not an authentic Italian food lover because I'm not a huge fan of eating bread with oil, I wish we'd gotten butter. For dinner, I also really wanted the Pepperoni e Salsiccia so my boyfriend ordered it and let me have a slice! My only qualm is that were onions on the pizza that weren't listed on the menu which both of us had to spend time picking off our pizza. If we had known there were onions on the pizza, we would have asked for no onions. My only recommendation would be to come here when you have plenty of time to spare because the service is really slow. I think there was only one server for our whole half of the restaurant so it definitely took a while to place our order and get our check. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this cosy romantic spot for a date night dinner and appreciated the ease of making a reservation online. I'm definitely going to make him bring me back to try more of their pasta.

Neb had such promise but fell short with the service. My group had a reservation at 6 PM and we…read morefinished dinner after getting our dessert at around 9 PM. We waited for 3 hours in total to get the full extent of our meal. Half of us opted for the Seattle Restaurant Week menu since we were new to the area and wanted to get a sense of what the restaurant had to offer. The restaurant week menu was $50 for a choice of an antipasti, pasta, secondi, and dessert. For the antipasti, you get your choice of a house salad or bruschetta. The choices for the pasta are between the gnochi or the cannelloni. For the secondi, you can either go for the braised spring lamb or the eggplant parmigiana. The dessert options are between the tiramisu and lemon sorbet. The winner for me was the gnochi but someone else from my table could not stop raving about the cannelloni so multiple dishes stood out throughout the night. The braised spring lamb was tender and fell right off the bone. I would skip the halibut - it was too salty! We also ordered a bottle of wine to share and the recommendation by the server was a crowd pleaser. If you're not sure what to get for wine, ask the server! Maybe it was because each course took a while to come out, but none of us were satisfied with the quantity they served because we had to wait so long. The restaurant did experience a rush of people during dinner time but to wait three hours for the full dinner at this price point doesn't feel too great, especially when we had a reservation. Other than that, solid food for the location and the ambiance of the place was trendy/lively on a Wednesday night.
