Three of us shared four dishes and one soft serve was the perfect amount of food. Everything was super yummy and fresh. Highly recommend the three dip (current seasons is beet and it's my fav) with the flat bread. The flat bread comes out steaming. Trumpet mushroom is Smokey and juicy. Lamb comes in braised form and kebab both really good The soft serve swirl has the perfect texture and flavor. Would come back again! read more

Tried Homer again for the first time since before the pandemic and here's my honest take: The food? Delicious. The flavors were thoughtful and really well executed, and honestly the pricing felt fair--which is saying something in Seattle right now. But... would I stand in the rain at 5pm on a Wednesday again? No. They don't take reservations, and it feels pretty clear why--everything runs like a well-oiled machine designed for quick turnover. Normally I wouldn't mind efficient service, but this crossed into feeling rushed. Our bill was dropped while we were still eating, just about an hour in, and the vibe quickly shifted to "thanks for coming, time to wrap it up." Would I go back? Yes--if someone else wanted to go. But I'd only do it right when they open. Waiting in line just to feel hurried through dinner isn't worth it. Overall, great food, but the vibe, service pacing, and no-reservation model really shape the experience. read more

Homer is easily one of the best restaurants I have been to. It was highly recommended by a friend and now I understand why. The food is impeccable. The chefs really have a great understanding of flavors and presentation. We ordered five items: squash green chili & hazelnut dip w/ pomegranate & nigella, anchovies with harissa butter & grilled sourdough, wood roasted halloumi w/ caramelized cabbage, barberries, green tahini & anchovy, grilled king trumpet mushrooms w/ fermented chili honey, suya & seaweed egg emulsion, and the fenugreek and apple soft serve ice cream. My oh my, was it all amazing: - the squash dip was so balanced and light - the sourdough with butter and anchovies, when all loaded onto one bit was chef's kiss - the wood roasted halloumi dish was phenomenal, a perfect balance of flavors and textures. - the trumpet mushroom was a bit too smoky for my taste, but that's just a personal preference, my friend looooved it - the twisted soft serve was divine. It tasted like a caramel apple and I just couldn't get enough. Also, the overall ambiance of this restaurant is amazing! We were seated facing the open kitchen and it was a delight to watch the staff do their magic! I look forward to coming back soon and continuing to rave about their food for months to come. read more

Came here after seeing it everywhere on yelp. Seems like a highly sought out restaurant in Seattle. We came on a Tuesday night around 6:15 and were seated around 20 minutes later. It was very crowded but if you come around 5 or 6 the wait shouldn't be too long. Our server recommend the trumpet mushrooms which we thought were weird and rubbery and came with an odd egg sauce. I would not recommend getting that dish but other than that the food was good. We loved the salmon and dips we ordered. Nice ambiance in here, employees are very friendly. Really cute restaurant. I like that the dishes aren't overly large the portions are just right not too heavy. My mom loved the halva chocolate chip cookie she got for dessert. read more

We had a great time at Homer with my boyfriend's brother and sister in law while we were visiting Seattle. They love Homer and I am happy to say it didn't disappoint! We had great small plates and lovely cocktails. Our waiter was very attentive without bothering us and the restaurant vibe was perfect. Nice and cozy without being too quiet and romantic. The decor was super cute too. I love being able to see an open kitchen space. read more

I loved how cozy this place was! We got there near opening so we luckily snagged a table without a wait. There was a little bit of a wait by the time we left as well and you have to wait outside due to the small space of the restaurant so keep that in mind. We ordered a ton of dips to share with extra pita. Additionally we got a few small plates and some salmon to split amongst the three of us which left enough to take home as leftovers. As everyone also says, get the whipped garlic!! read more

5-star soft serve takeout window experience! Even if the window is closed, just walk up and a bartender will see you and be with you shortly. There's 1 vegan flavor and 1 non-vegan flavor. You can sample and get them swirled if you want. The seasonal vegan maple carrot was SO good, and tasted like the ice cream version I never knew I needed of the Thanksgiving side. It tastes very much so like carrots, so I recommend for the carrot lovers. read more

Homer - Soft Serve To-Go Vegan flavor - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My hubs and I have walked by the lines snaking outside Homer many times. We've bought their excellent soft serve from the side window but haven't ever eaten dinner there...until last night. Now we know why those lines have been forming for years. We lucked out and were seated immediately because the Mariners were in the playoffs and there were less people eating out on a Thursday night. We chose to eat at the bar because it was empty and we like having more space around us. Props to our bartender who asked us if we had any food allergies, and then because I can't eat dairy products, patiently explained and recommended all the dishes that had no dairy or could be made dairy free. First, we started with dessert because, well, why not? We knew we wanted to eat their excellent soft serve so instead of saving room for it after dinner, we ordered it right off the bat. I had the vegan carrot maple and my hubs had the swirl with carrot maple and brown butter cardamom. Both were delicious and served prettily in frosty silver goblets with long spoons. Delightful! Then, following our friendly bartender's recommendation, we had the roasted celeriac for an appetizer with a side of pita bread. What the---?!? We have never had this vegetable before but it was AMAZING. Caramelized on the outside, tender on the inside, and bathed in a multidimensional coconut broth with mint, parsley, lentils, and pomegranate. It was a revelation. Next, we shared the roasted chicken with chili fruit sauce. How good can chicken get? In the hands of Homer chefs and their wood-fired oven, it can get damn good. It was absolutely delicious and seasoned perfectly. It came with grilled bok choy and everything sat on a pita bread that soaked up all the savory juices. We ate half the chicken and took the rest home. Can't wait to shred the chicken up and use it to elevate whatever dish we make with it. The food at Homer is both homey and exquisite. It is a little familiar and quite a lot not. It is inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine yet it cuts its own jib. Thank you to the whole team at Homer for a wonderful experience filled with friendly service and food that surprised and delighted us in many ways! read more

I have been to homer at least 5 times since I wrote my original review and the menu they are running now (Fall 2025) is the best menu they have ever had. I cannot recommend it enough. The mushrooms are a must have right now, as well as the pork, celeriac and beets. read more

THE BIG: Located in the North Beacon Hill area of Seattle. This place is always packed everytime I go. Indoor and outdoor seating available. No reservations, you have to put your name down and wait. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here with the friends we were staying with and fortunately we were seated immediately. They had space outside and we quickly snagged it. For drinks, my buddy and I got a bottle of txakoli while the ladies got a butterfly tea spritz and a NA penicillin. For food, we got ALOT. Here is the list: a set of three dips, extra pita, whipped garlic, feta dumpling and mushrooms, burnt cucumbers, grilled pork, lamb ribs, and a sausage dish. All were great and my favorite dish was the lamb ribs. Although you can't go wrong with the whipped garlic with the pitas. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for this feast was around $340. I thought it was well worth it and I'd definitely be back to have more whipped garlic. read more

Homer is absolutely worth the wait! The space is modern, with crisp white accents and a chic atmosphere. Though we waited about two hours on a busy Saturday, the entire experience made up for it. Their charcoal cooking was a standout. The fresh beets had a unique smoky depth--maybe not for everyone, but I loved them. The dates with pistachio oil and turmeric were a surprising delight--balanced, not too sweet, and kissed by charcoal. The trio of spreads was great value. For mains, the lamb came with kebab--slightly dry but still tasty. The chicken was juicy and well-executed. For dessert, the pistachio cheesecake was a perfect finish. The service was fantastic--multiple attentive staff, especially with wine. We even stayed past closing without a hint of rush. Five stars, and I'd return in a heartbeat! read more

Homer - Lamb leg & kebab with roasted garlic labneh - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We celebrated a birthday here! So we did some kind of "family plate", it's a 10 person, multi course, chef chosen thing. Some dishes were really great, some were truly terrible. Each of the bread appetizers were absolutely destroyed, everyone loved them. The dates were not really a hit. They had a very Smokey flavor to them, but in a way that felt more "smoke infused" rather than put on a grill or something. The mains; the pork & chicken were absolutely delicioussss. The pork was so tender and the chicken was so juicy and the sauce was just perfect. The veg was cooked nicely as well. The dessert was also meh. I'm never one to not finish a dessert but I fight finish this one. The only flavor in the soft serve I could taste was smoke, and the second dessert was just a chocolate chip cookie. Was definitely expecting something nicer considering the price and the dishes prior. Honestly I think the chef went too "what sounds fancy and looks pretty on a plate" rather than what would have deep lively flavors. Everything had a fake-ish smoke essence to it and a lot of things added too many components that didn't work. The service itself was ok. Food came out quickly but felt rushed. Drinks were frequently empty and not being filled fast enough. The attitude about two people no showing was off putting, it's not like we can physically control other grown adults. ~100 per person but two people in our party were no shows, which clearly upset the waitress even though we explicitly told her not to worry, we would still pay the agreed upon price, which was ~144 per person with the two missing people. They add a 20% auto gratuity for the large party. Though they still have an "additional tip" for you to add more into the ticket, which kind of baffled me. 20% auto is really high for you to ask for more tip. I would probably go back with a friend or two but definitely not again as a party. read more

They don't take reservations so get their early and wait in line outside. Once it's 5pm, the greeter will take one party at a time (leaving everyone else waiting in line) and get them settled before returning to get the next party--making for a long process. The person greeting was pleasant enough but from the get-go there's a slight feeling that they're doing us a favor by allowing entry. The drinks on the menu are made in batches so don't ask for any substitutions. The kitchen can only accommodate so much so your entire order must be made at one time and no late game decisions about adding or deleting anything are possible. Again, we understand and yet it feels restrictive. That said, the three-dips as a starter (with extra pita) is a must-order item. The dates are delish as well. We could have done without the shaved vegetable dish. The roast chicken was scrumptious, but the rutabaga served with it was cold and the piece of pita bread it was sitting on was an odd choice. Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves but see no need to return. read more

A very famous, hot spot in Seattle. The beautifully decored restaurant serves creative Mediterranean dishes, and the menu changes seasonally. I tried their Labneh w/ dried tomatoes & mint, Burnt cabbage, Grilled sausage w/ whipped feta and their pita bread. Pita was good. Labneh was not bad. The dried tomatoes added some sweetness and juiciness to it. Paired well with the pita. The other two dishes were more or less disappointing. While it is common to have some bnurning on the veg, it is unacceptable to have over 50% part of the cabbage burnt. The pickled mushroom was good, but I really could not understand why they put horseradish puree and nettle sauce together with the cabbage. The sausage was even worse. The whipped feta, when mixed together with the gravy, turned out to be watery, having no flavor of cheese at all. The grape was OKay -- its sourness balanced the fatty flavor from the sausage and gravy, but it just paired strangely with the bitter, burnt radicchio... It would be much better if they simply put sausage on whipped feta, and garnish it with several grapes and some herbs. Not recommending the two dishes. The flavors were indeed over-crowded. read more

This place is insane. Loved sitting at the chef's table because you get to see everything. Everything is cooked on an open fire or in the oven. Everything dish was thoughtfully curated and every bite I took I really appreciated the care behind it. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. We had a great server who was prompt and friendly with some humor. Expect to wait a while after you put your name down but it's well worth the wait. read more

Homer? I barely know her Jk. My friend got on the waitlist at 5:45pm on Tuesday and we were seated at 7:40pm so definitely be aware this spot is popular. The popularity is DEFINITELY warranted.

I love it when I get to experience a flavor I've never tasted before, and this happened multiple times at Homer! It's a gorgeous, elevated yet homey space with an open kitchen where everything is slow roasted over a flame. The table setup was immaculate down to the mismatched vintage cutlery. I went with a group which I highly recommend since you get to try many different dishes. - Hummus w/ chickpeas & cumin, nettle & pistachio w/ preserved lemon & green garlic - solidly good hummus and pita but the standout dish, surprisingly, was the nettle dip. It was nutty, fragrant and sweet. - Grilled medjool dates w/ turmeric, fish sauce & pistachio oil - incredible! The dates tasted so savory sweet and complex that it reminded me of meat. They were tender and caramelized on the outside. - Burnt cabbage w/ stinging nettles, horseradish skordalia, pickled trumpet mushrooms & caraway - this dish was a let down since the cabbage didn't taste of much except a deep smokiness. It was also unwieldy to cut. - Roasted Chicken w/ a chili-fruit paste - a sleeper hit! The chicken was so incredibly tender and the sauce was warm and sweet. - Wahl grazing lamb w/ ash roasted yams, leek crème fraîche & hazelnut-lamb vinaigrette - none of us liked this very much. The gaminess of the lamb was preserved and the yams were deliciously rich, but the flavors didn't wow us. There were many fatty parts to the meat and the portion size was small for the price point. - Soft Serve Ice Cream: a swirl of their seasonal flavors, sweet fennel and rhubarb cherry blossom! While I couldn't discern all those flavors, it was pretty good soft serve and a generous portion filled all the way to the bottom. - Warm dark chocolate & halva cookie w/ sweet cream - the cream on top was salty and melted into the warm cookie to perfectly balance out its bittersweetness. The presentation of all the dishes was top notch and the service was good. You can even take a patterned matchbox home with you. Overall, this was an extremely interesting and satisfying food experience. read more

This place is pretty small, and crowded so it can be very loud. But the food is absolutely amazing. They make vegetables taste very good, and everything felt so light and well balanced.

My boyfriend and I went to Homer a couple weeks ago, it was my 2nd time and his 1st. Homer doesn't take reservations unless you have a large group, so we arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday night and waited about 1 hour after checking in. Next time, I would plan to arrive right at opening (5pm) to avoid the long wait. When we were finally notified they were ready for us, we were seated at the bar overlooking the kitchen area. It was fun to watch the hustle and bustle of the kitchen, the chefs all seemed to be having a great time. For food, we ordered labneh with pita bread, two small dishes, and the roasted chicken large plate. We found this was a good amount of food for two. I especially enjoyed the simplicity of the roasted chicken which truly highlighted the flavor and tenderness of the chicken. We ended the night with the soft serve, a sweet way to end the evening! read more

Excellent first visit to this very popular (and small) restaurant. Creative and well-sourced, the small and large plates complement each other very, very well. Our pork cut for the large plate was extremely fatty...but the flavor was +. Service was very good...if stretched thin at times. No reservations for less than six...so get there early, or expect to wait. read more

Booking Experience: No RSVP for parties under 6 on restaurant website. 5pm on a Friday there were about 4 couples waiting on the sidewalk to be seated. Their waitlist system is seamless but no menu posted for curbside browsing. Flute and Coupe next door is an excellent place to wait and honestly worth going back to. (see other review) SERVICE: Server was slow to take first order. Not a fan of the personality of the male bearded expeditor. We waited over 2hours for our Sole which lacked salt/flavor and was slightly over cooked. There was no apology or explanation given, likely because we were quiet about it. FOOD: Hummus and Pita Sourdough with Harissa butter and Sardines Roasted Potatoes- The only dish I would eat abain Sole with lettuce accouterment- Underseasoned and over cooked. Mild white fish is the tofu of the sea and needs to be brined or imparted with herbs or a rub or at least finished with flakey salt! The (peanut?) sauce served with the lettuce wraps tasted like barbecue sauce. Cocktails were low volumetrically but well balanced. Soft Serve- We came here for the vegan option but after finding out that is was a corn base highly processed with gums and thickeners we decided not to even try it. ATMOSPHERE: We were seated outside in an alley with a leaky gutter so there was water under our feet the whole time in the middle of summer. This isn't an ancient European city, it's Beacon Hill. Fix your plumbing it's not cute. read more

Homer - Sole with bib lettuce wraps - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tucked away on Beacon Hill, this restaurant is great for special occasions/celebrations and larger groups, as it is on the more expensive side. Despite the smaller portions and higher prices, you get aesthetically plated food that is unique and tastes just as delicious as it looks. I went with my family, and we got a variety of dishes to share. The waiter had some helpful tips on how much food to order for a larger group, and recommended a few of their favorite menu items at the time. Homer's menu also is seasonal, which keeps things new and fresh if you go back later. My family loved the assortment of spreads we ordered, and the pita was warm and fresh. We got some of their meat dishes and seasonal vegetables and they all were cooked perfectly. I definitely want to go back to try some more of their items, especially their pistachio mousse, which I've heard is very flavorful. The one downside is parking can be tight, as there is just street parking, and this is a popular place to dine, so there might be a line when you arrive. I recommend getting there a little bit before they open, and while there might be a short line, the wait might not be as long as it would be later in the evening. read more

Homer - Set of Top Three Spreads & Pita Bread - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't think I've ever thought this about a restaurant, particularly one so highly regarded - everything was -way- overly flavored. Really disappointing, this place had been near the top of my list to try for 2 years! Started out poorly, as we waited 7 minutes in the doorway on a Sunday evening before anyone even spoke to us. Meanwhile, at least 5 different staff members had whizzed by us at least twice each. Finally, the greeter said he'd be back soon, and we were finally able to put our names in after over 10 minutes of standing in the doorway. The flavors were far too pungent and overpowering. The labneh was so sour, our mouths puckered. The dates were so sweet, I could feel it in my gums. The apricot sour cocktail was not sour, but overly sweet. The cheesecake had a funky texture, was a little too sweet, but mostly - kind of salty? None of the ingredients listed mentioned anything salty. The pita was undercooked and chewy inside. The only good dishes we had were the sweet corn soft serve, and the pork. Speaking of which - when we ordered, our server said he thought the pork cut tonight was pork shoulder, but he wasn't sure. The table behind us got the pork before us, and the woman that brought theirs went into depth about what type of pork (leg) it was, down to descriptions of the veggies and sauce. When the same runner brought the pork to us, she dropped it off without a single comment about what it was. Really wanted to love this place and return regularly to support a local establishment, but they really let us down all around :( read more

I'm jealous my boyfriend always picks the prettiest drinks compared to me! The service was amazing. Black cod was super tender. The whipped garlic was to die for. It was so addicting. The lamb was tender, soft, and didn't taste gamey at all. The duck was decently good. read more

Homer - Lamb Ragu - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Homer is located on the strip of popular restaurants in Beacon Hill that doesn't take reservations for groups smaller than 6. I went with a friend around 6:30 PM on a weekday and there was a 25-ish minute wait. It's unfortunately going to be all street parking in the area, but you'll likely find a spot within a 5 minute walk. Their menu is Mediterranean inspired and very seasonal; so be warned, if there's a specific dish that caught your eye, it might not be available when you actually dine in. Value wise, it is expensive and the portions are not very big. I believe they recommend ~2 spreads, small dishes, and larger plates each for a party of two. Pita and sourdough isn't complimentary either, so you're definitely looking at a bill of $50+ per person and that's being quite conservative. Here's the good news though: the food is really stellar. I tried a whole range of items and have to say every spread I tried (Spring Allium Pistachio, Lamb Ragu on Tahini, and Whipped Garlic) was INCREDIBLE. Pita is fantastic as well. Both the Lamb Kebab and Roast Pork I tried were perfectly cooked and the unique flavor pairings for each dish are a home run every time. Definitely a meal to remember and a great option for special occasions. Last note, I actually didn't like the soft serve... The texture was fairly average and the strawberry was very artificial tasting. It was a shame because the chamomile, creme fresh option was super interesting, great balance between creamy and herbal. Honestly, I might just walk down the street to their sister restaurant of Milk Drunk for more consistency on dessert (plus they have chocolate shell and who can say no to that). read more

My experience at Homer can be described in a few words: fun, big portions, delicious. They're walk-in only, but we only had to wait about 20 minutes before we got the call to come back. We just walked around the neighborhood and checked out Milk Drunk (who supplies Homer with soft serve). We sat on the counter by the open-face kitchen, which is my favorite part of any restaurant, because I can literally see chefs curating the dishes that we eat. The Set of Top Three Spreads is excellent, as it comes with hummus, labneh and roasted eggplant. It also comes with the softest and warmest pita breads. My personal favorite was the roasted eggplant - I like that it had walnuts and dates to add some crunch and sweetness to the dip. The grilled beets and anchovies were delicious. I love beets, and I loved these beets in particular because they pair beets with kumquat and orange blossoms and hazelnuts. The texture, acidity, sweetness, savoryness -- all of it's there in this dish. I thought anchovies were great too, but the beets really knocked it out of the park. We got lamb ribs as part of our "larger plate" but unfortunately, it was a lot of fat and not a lot of meat which is why I'm giving this a 4 instead of a 5. I think we might have just gotten unlucky with the lamb, but I think they should do a better quality check because the lamb is a whopping $39. read more

Some of the best food I've had in Seattle! Every dish is so unique and all the components work so well together. The menu changes seasonally so I definitely want to come back and try other small plates. We started off with the pita and eggplant dip and they paired so well together. The pita is so soft and warm. The seasonal salads were all so fresh and refreshing. I really loved the grilled pork and sausage because they were so tender and also super flavorful. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, super lively and cozy. Do note that they are walk in only and they get busy really quick so make sure to come early! I also had their soft serve (roasted sweet corn and nectarine hibiscus) and the flavors surprisingly work really well together. Its very refreshing and the flavors are super deep. read more

Let's start with the atmosphere, it's a quaint space that that feels inviting and I immediately loved it as soon as I walked in and sat down. They have an open concept kitchen, so you can enjoy watching the team concoct your meal. We had an array of servers thought out the night, it's as though everyone just worked together. I enjoyed getting everyone's opinion on the dishes and there was always someone ready to get us more food or drinks. On to the main event, the fucking FOOD. This place is the tits, everything I ate was beyond. My eyes rolled back when I had their celeriac & pepita, I don't even know what that is, but I know it was mind boggling amazing. We got the lamb and chicken for the main dishes, and I'm forever changed. I can't imagine eating anything better than that damn kebab. Don't even get me started on the beets. They tasted charred, but cooked perfectly, don't know how that was done and they wouldn't tell me. Their menu changes seasonally, so you can get to enjoy new dishes regularly. They don't take small table reservations, so get there the night before, pitch a tent and wait for this place. 100/10. read more

Crazy that this was one of my most anticipated places to try since moving here. Everything was, simply put, a harissa bomb. The hummus didn't taste good, the mushrooms were delicious but the skewer they came with was 80% of the dish, the chicken dish legit was gummy and dry and wasn't seasoned at all save for the glob of very sweet pomegranate jam on top. Soggy pita at the bottom too. We ordered the "grilled" sourdough with anchovies but all I tasted was burnt bread. It's telling when we had to pair everything with the whipped garlic to make it taste better. I will say service was lovely and our bartender was on top of it. Drinks were ok and I dunno what the deal is with adding cardamom to everything but the soft serve wasn't for us either. Happy to see a unique spot flourish but it was a miss for our taste buds unfortunately. read more

I came with a large group so enjoyed the course meal at Homer and it was very delicious. The portions were big and because it was a 4-course meal, I was very stuffed by the end of my dinner. I loved the various hummus and spreads with the pita bread -- the whipped garlic was very flavorful and smooth. The second course with small dishes was surprising in a good way. I didn't expect the strong, smoky flavor profiles from the vegetables. The grilled dates with pistachio oil were one of my favorites. The mains included roasted chicken and grilled pork, which both were perfectly cooked. The pork dish had pear which looked very similar to each other and the pear made the pork a bit cold. I'd come again but would want to come with a smaller group to select my own dishes. Overall, a great dining experience! read more

Homer crushes it, AGAIN. I have visited Homer twice-both without reservations and just got blessed by the cuisine gods and got a table. This past week, we waited a 45 minutes for a table-really close to what the hostess quoted us for. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, flavors, dietary restrictions and recommendations. We let them order for us for 3 people and left NO CRUMBS. Homer is that restaurant-hits every mark. Friendly, delicious, incredible ambiance, great drinks, vegetarian options, zero proof options-food for the curious palate with staple flavors and dishes. Hands down, this is our favorite restaurant, and we love leaving it to the gods for a table. Thanks again for a memorable experience, Homer! Ps-get the fig leaf vanilla sundae... read more

Homer - Top 3 dip starter! - Mediterranean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just curious... do you want to have the best mediterranean food you've ever had... in your LIFE? Look no further... Homer is THE REAL DEAL! This place has quickly become one of my all-time favorite restaurants, and for good reason: the quality, the ambiance, the service, the consistency--it's all top-tier. What makes Homer exceptional? The ingredients are insanely fresh, and it shows in every bite. Pair that with expertly smoked dishes and ripe, flavorful produce, and you've got pure magic happening on your palate. Every dish is cooked over a wood fire, which adds incredible depth and warmth to the food. Even the grapes are smoked to perfection--yes, grapes--and they're little flavor bombs that'll have you chasing that next bite. If you're planning to check it out, here are a few pro tips: They mostly take walk-ins (unless you've got a large party), so arrive right when they open or be ready to wait about an hour. (There are a couple bars next door to help you pass the time.) Note: they won't seat you until your entire party is present. You'll order everything (except dessert) at once. It might feel like a lot, but just go with a bunch of small plates to share. It's the best way to experience their insanely harmonious menu. Don't miss the wallpaper. Seriously. It's fantastic. Let your server pair your food with wine. They know what they're doing, and it'll elevate the whole experience. read more
