We came across this cute little wine bar. It's a gem! We both had chicken parm, it was delicious! Definitely worth the visit! Cute cheese boards, drinks, etc! read more

Neb had such promise but fell short with the service. My group had a reservation at 6 PM and we finished 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. read more

Had a great experience at Neb wine bar last night. The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day and felt so cozy! Our group of 3 sat in a corner and felt very comfortable. We decided on the Negroni flights- they were super fun! For starters we picked the bruschetta and Brussels sprouts. We then shared the dumplings with mushrooms and the chicken parm. Everything was great but my favorite was the Brussels! Great flavor and tons of Parmesan. You want these! read more

The star of the show, by far, was the broccoli. So delicious. I had the Negroni flight (left to right): 1. House Neb-groni 2. Speed twin 3. Betty white Speed twin my favorite. Betty White definitely taste the limoncello, a unique drink that gives a lighter Negroni taste. Nebgroni was good - very grapefruity. The Pecorino Focaccia "Fossette" came with a nice cranberry marmalata. It was good but not great. The Lasagna was quite good too. Very nice ambiance. read more

Service was great. I think people would enjoy their Negronis and the Japanese Curry Lasagna was different in a good way. Being billed as an "Italian" restaurant is just not true. There very little Italian on the menu. It's fusion Italian at best. Interesting yes but you leave feeling hungry, not feeling like you need to come back. During the meal, my table was talking about going out for a pizza afterwards (so long as it wasn't sister restaurant Serious Pie). The prices are ridiculous for the quality and quantity of what they serve, even for a city location. The wines are very much overpriced for the quality. It's just another Tom Douglas restaurant that overcharges for a fancy restaurant with a mid food that made to think it's inventive. Best thing I can say is I rather eat here again than a Jamie Oliver fake Italian restaurant, and I hate everything about Jaime Oliver. read more

Meeting some friends from out of town and so glad we had a chance to try Neb wine bar! Love the new concept and the food and drinks were fantastic. As a teetotaler, I was introduced to the Phony Negroni which was amazing. It's tough to make a mocktail that really nails the flavor of the full strength counterpart but this absolutely does. One must order is the focaccia. Slightly fluffier than the ones we've had in Italy but the flavor was outstanding. Other standouts were the Caulilini, the Pappardelle, and the Meatballs. Service was solidly attentive. Atmosphere is upscale, cozy and warm. Will make this a regular go to! read more

We came on a Tuesday evening and the restaurant was fairly empty. The vibe of the decor was cozy/relaxed, and service was always friendly and prompt. We started with the burrata and added the olive salad to it, which I really enjoyed. I had the uni spaghetti and it was also delicious. For dessert, the only option available was the ube tiramisu. I'm a big fan of tiramisu but I thought this tasted just alright, not really my favorite tbh. The top layer of it was more dense that what I'm used to, and I could taste the mascarpone more than the ube flavor lol. read more

Great service and food, but very very small portions for the price. We first tried their Negroni flights, which really hit the spot. The "Balti's" charcuterie board was high quality, and the crab dip full of flavor. We also had two pastas: Pesto Pappardelle and Lasagna, both with wonderful flavor but extremely small portions. Finally competent espresso and Tiramisu. The tab was over $300 for two. The dinjng room is also very cozy. read more

Excellent all around! Great food, fun Negroni flights, and wonderful service - highly recommend! Didn't know this was a Tom Douglas restaurant so that was a pleasant surprise; nice to see he didn't give up after all the Covid closures! This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely wonderful addition to the downtown neighborhood - we need business back!! Intimate and fun dinner spot for a small group or date night with some incredible dishes! The service was so friendly and helpful in our choices. It's a wine first restaurant so the pairings and background were top notch. We started with the florintino cauliflower - room temperature but good flavor with the freshly shaved Parmesan and crispy crouton. 4/5 stars Beef & Pork meatballs: SO GOOD and different! It was a lot of flavor and fun textured plate to share. 5/5 stars. Nettle Cannelloni: mmm, I could have this dish every week. Complete comfort food and perfectly cooked in its individual skillet. 5/5 stars. For dessert we had the tiramisu! Very classic and rich dish but lacked remembrance 4/5 stars. Overall, great place for shared plates and cozy conversations. I'd highly recommend - especially if in the downtown area!! read more

Food was 3/5. Portions were a bit smaller than I expected. We got the focaccia, spaghetti and meatballs, and Pappardelle. Everything was just okay. The pasta was made well but overall the dishes tasted pretty basic. Also a really strange smell to the restaurant that was overwhelming when we first walked it. Smelled reaally fishy in a bad way. Service was good. Date night vibes. read more

We came on a Friday evening with reservations, which I recommend doing as all tables were full. This place has a great vibe that is relaxing, with different types of seating all fairly separated from each other - perfect for a date. We ordered the uni spaghetti, which has salmon roe and nori, and the Alaskan black cod, which includes marcella, fennel, tomato, and kale. Overall, both are common dishes we enjoyed, but agreed neither stood out. The wine was EXCELLENT - I would come back just for the wine. The service was amazing, as everyone was so attentive, kind, and you could tell they wanted us to have the greatest experience. read more

Insanely good! We happened to book Neb before a show. My family fell in love with it! The service was exceptional, the food and wine were amazing, and Douglas himself made an appearance. I highly recommend the cheese board and the aperitif. The ambiance is lovely. I'm obsessed with the dish ware, tables, and overall vibe in the restaurant. Very reminiscent of Italy. Can't wait to come back! read more

First time visiting Neb, I didn't realize it's the location that used to be Serious Pie. Such a nice quaint little spot for a date night. My wife and I grabbed dinner before a show at Moore Theater. Service was great, not rushed and very attentive. The food is phenomenal, we wanted to try everything but can only fit so much in! We started with the bruschetta and it was a flavor bomb, so light and delicious, the focaccia it comes on is some of the best I've ever had. My wife and I shared the cannelloni entree and the roasted broccoli for our meal. I've never eating broccoli that tasted this good before, I want to eat it every day! The Cannelloni was delicious, fresh pasta just melted in your mouth. We will be back to try more and bring our appetite, had a wonderful meal. read more

This was a really lovely experience and we would definitely recommend it! We loved all the food and drinks we had. Everything was very fresh and well-balanced. The uni spaghetti was probably one of the best spaghettis I've had in Seattle. This is also a super cute little spot with very warm and intimate vibes. Great for a date or more intimate gathering. The service was fantastic and really stood out as the servers going the extra mile. They gave excellent recommendations and were able to accommodate our requests. They also called my spouse after he forgot his sunglasses to make sure he knew to come back for them and had them ready when we came back to pick them up. We do plan to return again soon! read more

Ambience (3/5) - Cozy and intimate restaurant with a good wine selection. Food and Drinks (4/5) - We went with Erste e neue kalterersee classico schiava bottle with bruschetta (aparagus, ricotta). The wine was fruity and light. Brushcetta was poorly presented, but it tasted fantastic. The bread and spread were absolutely delicious. Service (4/5) - The server was friendly and assisted us with our wine selection. She also checked in frequently. read more

I don't know where to begin. The service is amazing! Kind and knowledgeable. The menu is brief but delightful as far as food goes. I feel like I never had broccoli until I had it here! Negronis are a specialty and they are NOT kidding. Inventive. Delicious. Hip little place close to theaters with a cool vibe. Good playlist! read more

Ambiance (4.5/5) Service (4.5/5) Food (3/5) The food was nothing special. The spaghetti and meatballs was $29 and the portion was tiny. Taste wise, it leaned salty and lacked depth of flavor. It felt like a business lunch/dinner location than date night or fun night out with friends. read more

Heard about Tom Douglas' latest restaurant and knew I had to try! Palace Kitchen has been a dinner night staple for years. It's small and cozy, greeted and seated quickly. The staff were so friendly se super helpful in making recommendations. Did a bit of a tasting menu and everything was tasty and paired well together. Since it was our first time we ordered a lot but would have been fine with a start and entrees. Started with some mussels and cabbage, both were light and flavorful. Followed by the daily bruschetta and the focaccia bread with apricot Jam. The focaccia honestly stole the show! Crunchy, but fluffy and sweet. *chefs kiss For dinner we got the Black Cod and Short Ribs but savory and satisfying! And for dessert the Apple-Fennel Crostada which was actually very light and not very sweet. Will definitely be back to try more food on the menu! read more

The newest restaurant from Tom Douglas has a wonderful Italian menu, nice ambiance and great service! Stopping in there this evening for a quick bite I had a wonderful choice of many Italian wines, both in the bottle and in the glass. There were several Negroni options and I picked one that was absolutely delicious! A few fun different variants on bruschetta along with a nice little meat, cheese and bread plate was a great way to start the evening. The menu itself had quite a bit of options, but nothing jumped out at me initially. I ended up going with the mushroom lasagna which wasn't bad, but also didn't really impress me. I felt like it should've been a bit thicker and maybe had some more or cheese along with it. After that, we ordered the Uni Pasta with salmon roe & nori (pictured). This must be the standout dish of the menu! Very unique flavor, absolutely delicious and a real treat for sure. Dessert options were limited but they did have a few interesting things. We ended up going with the apple pastry topped with a ricotta whip. I would've liked to have seen tiramisu on the menu. I know it's rather expected in an Italian restaurant, but maybe some sort of interesting/unique variation on it would've been fun. Also, there were several dessert drink options, such as dessert wines and cocktails too. An espresso martini or some sort of a chocolate cocktail would've been nice. The service was very good and the staff seemed fairly knowledgeable about the products, especially considering that it's only been open for 48 hours. I definitely recommend trying this spot and seeing what you think for yourself! read more

We loved Neb and can't wait to go back. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed the menu!

A hidden gem that truly shines! If you want to visit a Tom Douglas restaurant that delivers exceptional food and service - Neb is your place! Chef Baltimore is whipping up some master pieces. Each dish is thoughtful, creative, and absolutely delicious. Pair this with an outstanding wine pick from the staff or try one of their playful cocktails and you'll experience a perfect pairing! What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service from this knowledgeable, warm and friendly team. Claire, Eric, Alanna and team treat us like royalty anticipating every need with warmth and professionalism. It's rare to find such a balance of attentive care and genuine hospitality. And you might get lucky and see Eric Tanaka! The ambiance is equally inviting - cozy and moody through atmospheric lighting. Intimate enough for a night out and lively enough to feel part of something special. There's no other wine bar in the city that delivers all of this with subdued refinement. Some of our favorite dishes have been Balty's Board (especially when served with La Tur - soft cheese), lasagne, cannelloni, prawns, roasted broccolini, spaghetti, and pappardelle. Sip. Savor. Repeat. read more

I went here on the soft opening with a friend who works for the company. Usually a soft opening has many glitches and issues. That's the name of the game. But these people were amazing! The food choices are fun. The restaurant is modern yet comfy. I like that the food options are small so you can choose several menu items and not need a crane lift to get you out the door. I wish I took pictures but I was enjoying the experience. read more

Neb wine bar was a lovely place to spend an evening. Several of the party have recently moved to Seattle from Europe so it gave us a nostalgic feeling of being back at restaurants at home. The interior decor was cosy with wooden candlelit tables and chairs where we spent the evening with food and wine. The waiters were attentive, and came over to check when needed. Food was great - we really enjoyed the mussels, the cod. The uni pasta had a really good flavour but was a little on the dry side. Desserts were average (Ube tiramisu and cannoli) but with the lack of dessert places elsewhere in the vicinity, it was not a bad choice for something sweet. read more

We popped in for a late dinner...a lot of places downtown are closed by 9pm. Since we were staying at Hotel Andra this was a convenient stop. We had eaten at Serious Pie and had breakfast at Dahlia Bakery, and drinks at Lola which are all under Tom Douglas. Neb was a disappointment. I will give it was intimate and all new for a "wine" bar, however it was a select list of wines that didn't appeal to us. The menu options we chose were chicken and provolone meatballs pepperonata, parmesan polenta and the smoked short rib fingerling potatoes, fennel thyme agrodolce, citrus butter. These are both not a dinner option. More a tapa or small shared dish. 3 meatballs and a few slices of short rib plus 3-4 small baby potatoes for two people left use raiding the snack drawer back at our hotel. The price without drinks was already $50 and we didn't want to keep adding to our order to fulfill our appetite. I think this place was a bit of an afterthought. The layout weird. The cooking station you essentially walk right into. They have 3 other doors they have to go to for supplies and oddly the place is separated in two by a glass window. Not sure if they took over an existing space or built it out, but it isn't especially interesting. Service was great and chefs greeted us, but it's not an enticing place. We will not return. read more

We deserve better from Tom Douglas. His former pizza spot has been turned into an Italian restaurant. The interior is still cozy, and the service is good, but the restaurant itself is an overpriced disappointment. The $17 broccoli side a was such a small portion I thought it was a mistake. Then the pastas arrived. Almost all hover above $30 for a small serving of only average taste. There are so many better Italian eateries in town I don't plan on returning, but I will still frequent Lola's across the street where the food is a lot more flavorful and interesting. read more

Ambiance and service were great. Appetizers were amazing, but the pastas were underwhelming.

Start to finish, a wonderful dining experience. Love the intimate atmosphere. Perfect for a date night! Our server was charming and very personable. I ordered a delicious glass of Pinot Grigio and my partner had the Negroni sampler (super fun concept). We started with the artichoke dip that had unexpected and delicious dill flavor and the cauliflower that was packed with flavor. For entrees we had the pappardelle and chanterelle mushroom pasta. I hate mushrooms but this was epic. The homemade pasta was light and delicious. We also ordered the cannelloni. It was also very good with a citrus finish. I felt it was a tad over salted. We finished with tiramisu that had a lovely coconut cream flavor and was very light. Portions are not huge, but we left very satisfied without feeling uncomfortable. The dishes are all rich and packed with flavor. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in a long time. read more

Celebrating my sisters 50th birthday at Neb, super underwhelming. I never write reviews but this was so disappointing. The atmosphere was very nice with candles lit all over the restaurant. Service was so, so, not his fault they seemed understaffed. We were told to order about 15 plates for eight of us to share, i was surprised at how many were suggested considering 8 of these were pasta entrees. The website shows all these wonderful looking dishes and lots of choices, not the case. Very limited menu and the portions were so small, i mean we felt ripped off. We all felt this is a great date restaurant night if your just wanting some vino and apps. Too bad Neb i hope you can hang on. I will say i have worked restaurant in Seattle for many years and owned small businesses and times are hard for the industry right now. Truthfully i would rather pay a bit more leave satisfied and actually come back. read more
