    Nice facade and ambience with outdoor seating.
    Mel S.

    The service was quite good and our waiter was polite, friendly and gave us good tips on our menu choices. The location is great and the ambience was quite good. The various pastas we ordered were average. I was really looking forward to dining here, but it was a bit of let down. While the portion sizes were generous, the dishes had a flavor of being pre-made and assembled together, almost in a fast-food kind of way, lacking an exquisite made to order and plated kind of feeling. As our waiter was great, I am fine with the 20% service charge added (and called out in large font on the bill) and the restaurant being upfront about it. But, it does seem like the management decided to pass this on to the customer to offset their cost increase due to the minimum wage going up to $20 per hour. It would be more reasonable to make that 15% and the restaurant adjust for their increased labor costs.

    Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado for the win.

    First time in, won't be the last. If this picture doesn't accurately describe the BLTA, on a rosemary bagel, then any description I could provide wouldn't help.

    Fun spot - nice and open and airy in the summer, I'm sure it'll be warm inside in the winter. Appetizers and cocktails were solid...as we consumed those i realized we were running behind schedule so asked for our mains to-go. Staff didn't just handle this smoothly, but we could feel that they cared and wanted us to have a good experience with the food, even if we couldn't eat while there. Looking to coming back later one of these evenings and checking out that bar...

    6/30/2024 Came back again to try their beets salad. You guys gotta try this salad! Vibrant beets meet creamy ricotta, toasted walnuts, and a drizzle of sherry vinegar. It's a symphony of textures and flavors--a must-try! Chef came to our table and said hi and their service was great.

    First time coming here, I've always passed by this location and love their patio+interior. Came here with a friend and gave them a try. Had their mimosa and I'd say it's a great amount, they even offered bottomless for $25 which is perfect for someone like me hahah. I got the salmon eggs Benedict and it was super tasty. Def worth what I'm paying for. The automated tip at the end was a bit surprising because it's not typically the standard way in restaurant industry, I'm still fine with it. Just wish our servers were more attentive

    This is a very delicious and hip restaurant. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, giving honest answers about their favorite dishes. You can tell they are excited about the food in this restaurant. Everything we ordered was immaculate and perfectly plated. The mocktail I ordered was divine and they had N/A beer. We ordered the smoked fish on toast, the beef Carpacio Salad with anchovy aoli, the Beet salad with whole walnuts and a whole side of the bowl smeared with a very sufficient amount of whipped ricotta and the perfect spicy sausage rogatoni. We finished with a nice strong espresso and the best homemade tiramisu I have ever had. All along with a very clean, modern atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, in addition to a rentable private dining room. This place greatly exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to go back for more.

    Late post -- Went here for Seattle Restaurant Week in late April. Glad we made reservations, the place was pretty busy considering it was early in the evening. There's the bar, lounge, dining area. There are a couple of garage doors that I imagine open up during the summer. Got seated overlooking the open kitchen. Too bad the counter is high so we didn't see them in action. Noticed that wait staff was quick to pick up orders that were ready and that there were no heat lamps (so you know you're food isn't sitting too long). The Seattle Restaurant Week Menu - 3 course meal for $50 Our first course choices were: - Grilled Octopus - Cannellini Beans, N'Duja, Calabrian Chili, Salsa Verde - this dish was delicious. Octopus was tender and the beans had a nice heat to it. I just wished the ratio of Octopus to beans was better (had a lot of beans and not enough Octopus). - Beef Tartare - Dijon, Caper, Cornichon, Quail Egg, Sunchoke - another delicious dish! Beef tartare was tasty. Our second course choices were: - Potato Gnocchi - Snails, Garlic, Parsley, Butter - I wanted to try this dish because of the snails. Heavy dish but it was good. Just like escargot, it was swimming in butter. Delicious dish but I can only eat so much of it because of the richness. - Pappardelle - Beef & Pork Ragu, Tomato, Mint, Chili, Orange, Grana Padano - Although both dishes were really good, I liked this one just a tad better. Mainly because it wasn't too rich. The meat to pasta ratio was decent. Our third course choices were: - Zeppole - Lemon Zest, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate Sauce - YUMMY! I highly recommend this dessert! Dough was light and dipped in the chocolate sauce...wow! The chocolate sauce was perfect! Not too sweet. - I can't remember what my companion ordered. It's not on their regular menu, but it was also good. For drinks we had the Manhattan and Frank the Tank -- both were good Service was good. Was it worth the automatic gratuity of 22%?....Compared to other establishments who have similar set-up, no.

    Tavolata, which means Table in Italian, is an exercise in pasta knowledge. Honestly, it's all about knowing which pastas you like. I ordered Tonnarelli because I wanted a Cascio e Pepe. Unfortunately, it turned out that I'm not a Tonnarelli fan. My friend got the Papardelle with Beef Cheek Ragu which was wonderfully delicious. Spicy but not too spicy, meaty and most reminiscent of elevated, way elevated SpaghettiOs. You'll be in your comfort zone. I'm interested to go back to ask if they'll pair my favorite pasta with my favorite sauce. For example, pappardelle with casca e pepe. Wasn't a fan of the focaccia. I think focaccia as smooth like pillows and this is more textured like sourdough. It's just a texture thing. Ambiance is nice. We sat next to the special events room and they should have closed the door because the party was very loud. But all in all, it was a vibrant, happening dining room with other large and small parties enjoying their meals. I'd go back again. There is a 22% service charge, which they warn you about and some think it's tad excessive. I'd be happier with 18% and better service. Once the place got busy, we didn't get too much attention and had to flag people down. Word to the wise, if you're going to charge 22% service charge, you should really give stellar service to every table. I was happy to see that they seemed to have been able to hire qualified people on the eastside post-pandemic. Congrats. I'll be back.

    Tavolata has a cool space and an exciting menu, but the service isn't really up to par. I made reservations in the lounge, which was totally the right call. We loved sitting down on the couches and it had a really good vibe! The staff also singed a birthday card since I mentioned there was a birthday on the restriction. Such a nice touch! It took 25 minutes before anyone got our drink order. We continually made eye contact with our server and tried to wave him over but it didn't work. By the time he finally came over, he seemed confused why we wanted him. The service was really slow, inattentive, and cold all night. At the end, we found out that Tavolata includes a 22% gratuity no matter what, which made a lot of sense. The staff clearly wasn't working for tips. Our drinks were a mixed bag. I loved my white sands mocktail! So many cool non alcoholic options. The martini was all vodka, so we had to request olive juice on the side. The food was decent. They have one style of gluten free pasta which was a pretty standard option. I liked my gluten free pasta, but it didn't have much shrimp on it. I found the prices to be high for the quality, but we went for BOGO pasta Monday so there weren't many complaints. I loved the birthday card, but thought for sure there would be a birthday dessert and was let down. Our waiter was super lazy, so it wouldn't surprise me if he just forgot. I would go again in a few months since I think this spot has a lot of potential. There is clearly an issue with some of the staff and some work that could be done otherwise, but it's beautiful and has a creative menu.

    We came for our NYE meal 2023 (going into 2024) Foie Gras Mousse 10/10 Arancini 7/10 Lobster Crudo 11/10 Burrata 10/10 Squash soup 9/10 Celery Root Ravioli 9/10 Steak 10/10 Scallops 10/10 Zeppole 10/10 The stand outs of the meal and OMG it was an incredible meal was the lobster crudo I have never tasted anything so perfectly balanced and luxurious in my life!! I kid you not I'm not a huge lobster fan I feel it's mostly overrated but wow, just wow. The scallops and Foie Gras were legitimately some of the best flavors I've come across in a long time. Now here's my issue... we then came back as the experience was amazing and the meal extraordinary so of course we have to come back! I cannot emphasize enough how terrible the service was. Slow is not the word for it, inattentive isn't either, there was such a lack of care that it would have been laughable if it wasn't so unprofessional. As many comments have mentioned you then add insult to injury when there is a mandatory 22% for service that is atrocious. No thank you

    We got six bagels a few weeks ago. I love me a tasty fresh bagel...the exterior of their bagels is pretty crunchy which isn't my favorite. The insides are fresh but I'm just a more gooey bagel type of person. Probably my favorite was their cinnamon raisin one bc it had the most freshness and gooey texture to the outside. Because it wasn't the typical bagel I'd gravitate towards I'm not sure I'd go back soon. The staff were friendly.

Your business was so hot when it opened and it actually went downhill about 6 years ago and I am not sad to see you go. Josh - to respond to your comment. My note should have inspired some reflection with the business model but it didn't. Your level of greed was insane and that is not forgiven here. You started hot and decided to squeeze more than your share from this business and this is what happens. You messed around and found out.

You did this to your own business by wanting more, more and more, so please don't play the victim here.
