We choose Palisade for New Years eve celebration and Valentines. New years eve was pretty good beside lava cake wasn't lava but we did had a great time and enjoyed our water view. But we came at 5 PM which was early and we got a good service. However, Valentines felt totally opposite. They had exactly same pre-set menu beside dessert was different. We didn't got our requested window table even tho we were ready to wait and there were plenty available. They put us in the middle and we hardly could squeeze ourselves walking trough the tables. We saw in 2 minutes they put couple after us to window table. They didn't even respected our membership card that supposed to have "perks". Service felt very rushed and we didn't enjoyed cold dishes. Also steak didn't had any sauces to it and was very dry and cheewy. Overall felt like factory in and out vibe. We wanted to leave as soon as possible. read more

Came here for the first time and it was highly recommended. They have a nice water area however they have trout and so it's hard to see the fish in the water as they blend in with the rocks. There is plenty of parking and there is a wonderful view. This is a beautiful restaurant which has great potential, but they seem to be a little bit disorganized. Had the opportunity to make a reservation in advance on OpenTable and requested seating near the window however, when I arrived despite the reservation. We ended up waiting 20 minutes and we were not quite placed near the window so we didn't have the same view. The staff were very friendly; however they seem to be understaffed so we set a table another 30 minutes before being served. It took some time for our drinks to come. The desserts were great however we decided to skip dinner because the service seemed so slow. I hope that your experience is better than mine. read more

Kevin was our server for an anniversary dinner. He was great, very attentive and great service. Thank you!

The ambience was delightful on Wednesday night. There was a young girl playing and singing live music and she was amazing. I might come back on a Wednesday just to see her. The service was amazing and we had a seat right next to the window, so had a beautiful view of the city lights and the marina. I got the lobster bisque and a wedge salad. The wedge salad was beautiful and all the flavors were delicious. I also really enjoyed the lobster bisque although it could've been a little hotter. I felt like I needed to eat it quickly so it wouldn't be cold by the time I got to it. I also love that bread that they serve fresh and warm, which I feel like sometimes it's hard to come by at restaurants so I really appreciate it. I decided to add a crabcake, which was disappointing. It was very small, had no sauce, and was pasty on the inside. On top of that, it cost $25 and I did not feel like it was worth it. my friend ordered a petite filet mignon and she said that it was a very nice cut of meat and delicious. We skipped out on dessert but decided that next time we might share a meal so that we could try the carrot cake. All in all, it was a good experience and fairly reasonable for what we ordered at a pretty fancy restaurant... No drinks but $50 a person read more

Just okay extremely bland not at all what I expected the prime rib had too much fat guess that is is part of the 12 oz your paying for. Also the crab & shrimp pasta dish had shredded crab and a total of 3 shrimps. This place overall did not meet my expectations think I paid for the view instead of my meal. Was seated in the banquet room tables were being moved around constantly while we were eating. My salad and the crab dip were both amazing enjoyed that more than the entrée had keyline pie for dessert it was good not great definitely have had better. If you like views of the downtown area & Puget Sound I would recommend it maybe go for happy hour or stick to the appetizers. read more

5 stars for the views! Nice live music, oysters not impressive at all, maybe other dishes better. Service: waiter not knowledgesble about the food read more

Very good food, oysters were tiny but had excellent service (thank you Kevin...ABQ HOLD IT DOWN).

might be the best restaurant view in all of seattle. right on the water, pretty extensive menu. we got the octopus appetizer, oysters, and a bunch of seafood, food was pretty good but one of us got an undercooked steak. waitstaff was decent but not perfect. we were seated and left abandoned without menus until i waved someone down and got us some. it was a long time until someone checked on us to take our orders after we reviewed menus. read more

Really enjoyed the lunch menu and the incredible service of Maurice and Cami made it perfect afternoon experience.

You're not going to find a restaurant with better views than this in Seattle. Located right on the sound, I had a perfect, full view of the Space Needle and Mount Rainer from my table. Excellent food and service too. I especially liked the dungeness crab cake in the seafood trio. Most importantly, my date loved it! read more

My family and I came in for Christmas dinner and had the most amazing time ever and that is all because of our waiter, Marcus.

Their food was extremely underwhelming, overpriced, and to top it off they don't support paying their workers a living wage. Only good thing about this place were the views. Something you can get for free at lookout points. For the food, the crab was cold. Not just from sitting for a while, but cold like they cooked all their crab in the morning put in fridge and brought it out when someone ordered it. The scallops were probably the most upsetting part. Lack of flavor and overcooked. The bucatini was dull and lacking any flavor. Very hard to mess up pasta and they did. Now for the bill. If you're thinking well let me just try this place out maybe this person had a bad experience and is writing a bad review. Fair, so maybe this will convince you to not spend a cent here. They tack on a living wage surcharge on all checks. THEY ARE PASSING THE COST OF WAGES ONTO THEIR PATRONS. You as a patron are 100% paying for their workers wage. You might think, oh this is going straight to the workers. IT IS NOT. It goes straight to the business. Workers do not get this surcharge. This lack of respect for their workers is reflected in the service, food and overall experience. I do not recommend this place one bit. Do not waste your money. There are plenty of other restaurants to give you a better experience and to spend your money at. read more

Gorgeous views, astounding service, and delicious food! Came here with a party of 7 and was overall very pleased. I got a reservation just in case. But the food was delicious, and everybody was happy with their food. Drinks were plentiful, lots of cocktails and wine options. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. Even the bar has a piano on top, super trippy. The view outside is the marina, so a sunset dinner is ideal for dates. read more

This has been on my food bucket list for the longest time. Unfortunately brunch is not currently offered but the food was on point to celebrate my new job! We ordered the ahi poke appetizer which tasted fresh and even the crackers had a great flavor and were sturdy enough for proper scooping. They provided complimentary house bread that was flavorful and the right crispness. My husband and I shared lobster macaroni and cheese and the seafood louie. The kitchen gracious split our salad and had dressing on the side without asking. The salmon portion on top was warm and savory. The crab meat was great as well. The lobster on the macaroni was fried which I wasn't expecting. It was tasty enough but not something I'd recommend going out of your way to order. Since we were celebrating, I ordered a lavender cosmo which had a delightfully sweet flavor. Our favorites were the desserts. We ordered the bread pudding which was chock full of fruit but the ice cream was underwhelming. We also ordered the chocolate cake that had a decent flavor but the berry toppings may have been the best part. The restaurant graciously gave me a complimentary creme brûlée since we were celebrating. I think of the 3, it was my favorite dessert - perfectly caramelized on top with the right, rich consistency. The overall ambiance is top notch with seeing the city lights on one side and the firey sunset with boats on the other. The staff was all professional, welcoming & friendly. read more

What used to be my favorite restaurant with an incredible view decades ago needs lots of improvements to stay competitive. First of all the place is way too dark. Even servers were having hard time reading orders and we could barely see the food. Secondly, the interior needs to be updated the signature interior with a pond didn't have any live creatures finally but not the least the quality of food was just OK. The service itself was just okay. They were all friendly and attentive. However I heard and seen a few mishandling of dishes and glasses while dining including dropping glass of water which ended up splashing on our guest. The server didn't even recognize what happened and disappeared. I blame on the very dark lighting. Come here for the nice view but don't expect much anything else. I will come back once they update the interior andy the menu. read more

I've lived in Seattle for about 5 years and this is the first I visit Palisade. A few friends flew in from out of state and celebrated a birthday here. Our server Kevin was AMAZING! He was very personable and attentive throughout our dinner. read more

Six years later and I've returned! To be honest I've been in a nostalgic mood lately. Not sure why but I find myself reflecting on the past hence why I was drawn to Palisade again. Palisade was my friend fine dining experience, the restaurant where I had my first high end alcohol, where my friend and I started the tradition of dining out on Thanksgiving, and where I treated my parents for the first time. Palisade is a place loaded with memories for me. My friend and I came on a sleepy Saturday to celebrate my birthday. We were seated by the windows overlooking the marina. It was quite relaxing. When we were first seated there were only a couple tables of people and by the time we left the restaurant was full. It was nice. In many ways this particular trip reminded me of everything I love about Palisade. The service was stellar. The food was delicious. The cocktails were grand. It was like stepping back in time and being in a magical moment. I had a grand time here with a few small bits but nothing worth mentioning within the review. I was very pleased when I left here. I still contend that the seating density in the center of the restaurant is too close, but at least they've spread out the seating around the perimeter so that no longer am bumping into people when leaving the table. It was grand. read more

Been here many times in the past for birthdays, anniversaries, etc and it was always a blast with great service and better than average, consistent food. This Father's Day (2024) was shockingly disappointing and a bit embarrassing. I hyped up this "old skool classic" restaurant and took my partner and teen here since neither have been here before. The service was molasses-slow, and it took 40 minutes between salad and entree and no one came to ask if we'd like another drink or more bread. We had to flag our server to get drinks refilled and my 3rd glass of wine. Shrimp cocktail wasn't what I remembered it to be... almost tasted cajun and not clean grilled. Best part of the meal was the salad. My asparagus was ridiculously huge and tough. Salmon oscar was good. Giant portion though so I took half home. Unfortunately the pacing was so slow we were there almost 3 hours and we missed our next event entry scheduled for the evening. When our entrees were served, we even asked to take our dessert home because we were running so late. The view was lovely as usual and it's nice to see the same ol' koi pond inside, but other than that, I don't think we'll be coming back in the future. So bummed read more

Palisade makes for a beautiful waterfront dinner date! I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday dinner, having previously made a reservation for 2 at 8 PM on a Wednesday. The restaurant itself was very nice, with music at just the right volume for conversation and tables that were spaced out well for privacy/social distancing. It's a little dark, but no biggie. After checking in with the hostess, we were seated within a matter of minutes. We had a window-side table, overlooking the water. Sandra, our waitress, was very knowledgeable about the menu and guided us through her recommendations for beverages. In all, we ordered the following: SCALLOP CRUDO - A great starter! Very fresh, with bright notes from the citrus-miso sauce and orange. Would definitely get this again! WARM CRAB AND LOBSTER DIP - Pretty tasty, but kind of heavy for an appetizer... especially if you're going to order a lot. Otherwise, yummy. I can see myself craving this a lot. OYSTERS ON THE 1/2 SHELL (PACIFIC) - The absolute HIGHLIGHT of my night. We ordered the Pacific 6-for-$19, but I already know I'd go for the baker's dozen next time. These oysters were so fresh, and all the sauces just added to the flavorful experience. HERB CRUSTED SLOW ROASTED PRIME RIB - Not the best prime rib ever, but still good. I wish there was just *more* to this dish, with it just being the prime rib over mashed potatoes with maybe 3 spears of asparagus. I'd probably go with something different next time. PALISADE SURF & TURF - My boyfriend's order! He doesn't usually order surf and turf, but he enjoyed it, especially noting the delicious lobster. His only note was that the potatoes were a bit hard, but the plate was still good overall! (Kinda wish I ordered this instead of the prime rib) After the meal, Sandra brought a "happy birthday" creme brulee to the table since we noted that we were celebrating on the reservation. Such a cute surprise that added to my appreciation of their attentive service! Excited to come back and try more from their menu. read more

It is not often that I come across a restaurant that from the get go, blows you away. My extensive research on Seattle, did bring up Palisade, and I finally got the chance to visit. The restaurant sits on a marina, that is abundant with boats and yachts. Upon entering the establishment, you are immediately immersed in a large circular space that has stunning views of the ocean, the skyline of Seattle, and more sail boats and yachts than you can count. We arrived there without a reservation. After 20 minutes, we got the seat of our choice, a table by the large windows, having an unobstructed of the water. When you look around this establishment, you know you are in a pristine dining environment. Sharply dressed servers can be seen elegantly shuttling between their table guests. For starters, we ordered the ahi tuna poke, with wonton chips. The sushi grade tuna was seasoned well, and set the stage for the next dishes. First the Seafood Bucatini with crab and shrimp, in a cream sauce. Perfectly executed, shrimp not overdone, pasta al dente, with the right balance of flavors. The sake marinated black cod was next. It sat on a shrimp cake and was excellently prepared. A major hit. For dessert, crème brûlée did not disappoint. The chocolate lava cake came soon after, half of it warm, the rest, warm to cold. Clearly, a microwave job. But the inside with bold, dark chocolate made up for it. It was delicious. Service was high class. Before we finished, we were able to witness a light orange horizon, against a Seattle downtown backdrop, in spite of an overcast evening sky. The ambiance and views were truly mesmerizing. No doubt, a breathtaking and memorable dinner evening at the Palisade, that will not be easily forgotten. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Service was great & the view at sunset is spectacular!! Great place for a Birthday!!

Not another overpriced just because its by the water or some scenic location. The food is legit amazing here. This place was a perfect for a suprise dinner night. Even the large entrance is stunning. We had reservations and were seated fairly quick. I was pretty much wowed from the entrance to the seats. The view from where we sat was really nice. We could see the marina, downtown, and an overall nice view of the sound in that area. We made it just before the sunset. I ordered the crab stuffed lobster with some grain whos name I cant rememer. I do however remember that ever bit was savored. Im glad I chose this, but I have a feeling the other dishes would have been amazing as well. The most interesting part of the meal was the appetizer. I ordered kungpao calamari. Never knew that even existed. It was forsure the best calamari I've ever eaten. The fried breading did however start to get soggy over time to the point where i ended up not finishing the final bits. It was such a good portion I wasnt mad as I still needed room for my main course. Which wasnt a large portion by any means. In order to even get to our seats we had to walk over a cool bridge like walk way that is over water. Kind of a large pond. Very cool. The main space is very open and designed in a way where pretty much every seat has a good view. Windows pretty much from floor to dome/ceiling. Its hard to explain without seeing it, but the dome ceiling curves up pretty high. Very cool interior design. From what I could tell every group inside was enjoying themselves and off in their own world. read more

Went here recently for a large group dinner. It took over 3 hours for apps, mains, and dessert. Appetizers were great. There was a long wait to get the main courses, and when received the two dishes I tasted had the steak and seafood tough and rubbery as maybe they had been warming for a while. Huge disappointment for the long wait, to get that experience from the mains. Desserts looked good, but due to the long wait to get them {past 3 hour mark) had to leave before trying them. And 6 hours later had a terrible food poisoning experience. This was the only meal I ate that evening, and this meal was a one time and never again for me. read more
