Service was friendly and prompt and the menu looked awesome. We settled on some NA drinks (still had to drive home) and then ordered up the marinated olives, octo skewers, grilled sardines, cogumelos, and batatas bravas (one of our faves). The part-time contessa was a fantastic NA option. Very tasty. So tasty we ordered seconds. The congumelos came out first and tasted awesome! Fantastic! The citrus slaw that accompanied the skewers was a great spin on a slaw. The octopus was perfectly char grilled. The batatas bravas and sardines were also very good. The dishes ended up being a bit more than we needed for two. Overall it was a great dinner in a very cute place. I would recommend stopping in when near Pike Place.

Nue is a restaurant concept that I like, and think is a great entrypoint for people wanting to try…read morenew international cuisines that they might not be originally interested in. Just glancing at the menu during a stroll in Cap Hill interested me and I wanted to give this place a try. Paid a visit on a Friday around 6PM and was able to get a table fairly quickly. There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

We had such a fun experience at Bangrak Market! If you're looking for Thai street food in Seattle,…read morethis is definitely a spot to check out. The lively atmosphere and beautiful Thai-inspired decor made us feel like we were transported straight to Thailand. It's also a great place to come with friends and family or celebrate a birthday. We ordered a little bit of everything, including the famous fried fish, mango salad, pork skewers, Penang curry, Thai boat noodles, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice. Everything came out piping hot and was packed with bold, authentic Thai flavors, including turmeric, lemongrass, and lime. Our favorite was the pork skewer. The meat was flavorful on its own, but dipping it into the sauce with onions, toasted rice powder, and tamarind took it to another level! The portions are also really generous, so there's plenty to share. And definitely save room for the mango sticky rice for dessert because it was the perfect sweet way to end the meal. Great food, amazing (fast, funny, and accommodating) service, generous portions, beautiful decor, and a fun atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

I don't look forward to leaving negative reviews but I felt strongly about this experience that it…read morewould be a disservice if I didn't address it. *Spoiler alert: long story/rant ahead. When I went for my first time. It was on a hot day this past June. Me and my partner thought we'd go and treat ourselves to a nice outing. Since I've always wanted to try this place due to hearing a bunch of good things from some colleagues. We set our eyes on a late lunch/ early dinner at Bottle House. Came in optimistic especially after being seated right away in their outdoor patio section. We were off to a great start, until it turned into a lot of waiting. We gave the benefit of the doubt assuming they were just busy. It wasn't until we saw a few groups that got seated after us get their order taken before us that we decided to flag someone down. Once we did, we were told to wait a few more moments because another group had to be checked on before we could get our orders taken. Surprisingly we were still in good spirits. We ordered our drinks, as well as our food so we could be set. Then afterwards our drinks came. This is where my experience spiraled down. I picked up my wine glass filled with this Bordeaux wine that I was excited to try. Pressed the rim against my lip and took my sip. It hit me like a hot flash. The temperature of this wine was warmer than warm. It also wasn't just my wine but my partners's as well. So we managed to get a servers attention, voiced our concern and asked if we could order a different drink. I decided to go with a cocktail and my partner decided to order the Chardonnay. When they dropped off our new drinks, they happened to be the wrong drinks. What had happened was they were a different tables drinks and when we flagged the same server down. they already seemed annoyed that we were gonna address a discrepancy. We eventually got the right drinks then our food. At that point we just wanted to drink our drinks and finish our food. I enjoyed the food flavor wise, but I wasn't satisfied with the amount of food for the price I paid. If it was one of the better things I ate in my life I would be happy with paying however much for the amount of food I got. Sadly that wasn't the case. White wine was chilled so it was good and I liked the Chardonnay. The old fashion wasn't akin to a typical old fashion. It was more like a boulevardier, not as whiskey forward, but more alcoholic. Not my favorite old fashion All in all this review was geared towards service, and quality of the drinks. Especially if you're supposed to be known for the variety of wines you serve. I would hope you can serve them at a decent temperature. Based off this experience alone, I wouldn't personally suggest them if someone was looking for a recommendation.

Meg and her team created one of the finest dining experiences we have ever enjoyed. From her greeting to Lorenzo's attentive and knowledgable service, through the kitchen's meticulous detail to our party's dietary restrictions, this was a 5+ star rating. The ambience is charming, the food was incredibly delicious and beautifully prepared and plated. Some may consider the Wolf pricey, but if you have no qualms paying for high quality food and service, Wolf is absolutely worth the money. Personally, we have no issue paying for exceptional dining experiences. We DO however balk at paying premium prices for mediocre food. This is most definitley not in the latter category. If life finds us back in the Seattle area in the future, one of the first things we will do is book a table at The Wolf. Well done all. Thank you.

As someone who is just getting into wine, this is a great place to try a bunch of different things!…read moreThis is a self serve wine bar with over 50 wines on tap, and I love that you can buy 1 oz pours so you can sample different regions and styles of wine. The servers here are very enthusiastic and friendly and will help you on your wine journey of finding what you like! Every wine is labeled with the country of origin, the grape type, and flavors you can expect. This made it super easy to compare and contrast the different wines and taste what makes each wine unique. My favorite wines are dessert wines, and they had an amazing port and sherry. Everything they have here, you can buy a bottle of, and I loved the port so much I bought one to take home. While you're probably coming here for wine, the food is also pretty good. They have classic European wine snacks like charcuterie boards and tinned fish. My favorite however, was probably the burrata. Burrata is already one of my favorite cheeses, but the juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and peppery olive oil raised it to another level. It was like a really good caprese salad made even better by the toasted focaccia.

There is ample seating so I can see that there won't be much wait if at all stopping by at any hour they are open. Was a 4 star experience but 5 stars since they remedied the issue. I was initially overcharged to $10 when I only had 8 oz of wine but they were all $1 so they gladly adjusted the price. Note that today only (August 5) there were select wines at $1 for 1 oz and the regular price is $2-4 for 1 oz. But given the market price, that is still a fair price and I can see myself coming back paying regular pricing to bring friends along. It would be excellent if they do happy hours of $1 select wines and I will be hooked to be a repeat customer easily!

Definitely not my fave martini in the city but could not beat this price and it was enjoyable still. - Mezcal drink (I think it was the Sea Senora) $18, I had this and loved it. I'm a fan of mezcal and this was no exception. Great flavors. - Lamb Crepinette $17 on HH, we all enjoyed this! Not too "lamb-y" if that makes sense. - Point Judith Squid Salad - $14 on HH, I really enjoyed this salad as it reminded me of Spain/Portugal, which I'm a huge fan of. The squid was really tender and went well with the beans and olives. Super cute vibes inside and everything is really aesthetic but also great flavor/execution.

Our group of seven had to wait a little bit before we could be seated, since we were not all gathered at the restaurant yet. Once we were ready, we were seated inside. The restaurant is quite lively with lots of decorations and bright colors all throughout. We decided it was best to order a bunch of different items to share as a group. We started off with three small plates: Flatbread and Dip, Grilled Lamb and Beef Kofta and Fried Cauliflower. The flavors were absolutely delicious. We did order a fourth item from the small plates, Patatas Bravas, but it never came. It was on our bill at the end, but we told them this was incorrect since we never received the item. From the grill side of the menu, we ordered Prawns, Chorizo, Hangar Steak, and Chicken Thighs. The meats are ordered by the weight (1/4lb, 1/2, or 1lb). I loved all the meats we ordered. Once again, the flavors were amazing.
