Really cute corner grocery store in Madison Valley. The prices were high, but not egregiously so,…read moreespecially for the area. They had everything I would expect at a grocery store, but much more curated, which makes shopping easier. It really takes the cognitive load off to not have to compare seventeen different brands/sizes/prices. They had a nice selection of meal kits (four person dinner for ~$65, and 2 person meals for ~$45), cheeses, frozen goodies (ice cream, Hello Robbin cookies, chicken pot pie), and produce. I probably wouldn't do a regular full grocery shopping here for my whole family, but I can see myself stopping by for last minute ingredients, goodies for gatherings and picnics, and meals to go. I had the in-house tiramisu and it was absolutely divine, and I am excited to check out some of their other in-house products!

The Kitchen & Market - Madison Valley location is located between Bar Cantinetta and Cafe Flora. It has a limited parking lot and adjacent street parking. I briefly toured the retail shop glancing at all the displays, but exercising restraint. This is truly a high quality, grab and go, treat yourself (+family & friends) neighborhood bodega. I wanted to also compare this site with my visit & experience at the Pike Place Market location. I stopped by the showcase table to sample and savor the meatball, parmesan crisp, and chocolate chip cookie samples provided by a very personable individual. I ended up buying a tub of their pomodoro sauce (same sauce used with meatball sample) and a roast beef sandwich. The latter was savored down by Lake Washington at the Madison Park Beach. Delicious sandwich, would have been perfection if one bread slice was not soggy due to the contents. But the wrapper helped and had napkins in my car. Pomodoro sauce was used with premium al dente radiatore pasta. This yielded a flavorful dish for dinner. I like the concept for pret a porter/meal kit ideas. Price point not for every budget though, however, one is paying for high quality and well curated items. Current sites are located at Seattle's Pike Place Market, Mercer Island (will return after fire damage renovation), Bellevue/Medina, and this new Seattle/Madison Valley site. Future locations will be in Yarrow Bay/Kirkland and Seattle/Eastlake. Minus one star due to soggy bread, challenging parking situation, and ignored twice waiting to pay at the register. Note: Card payment at the register area, no cash accepted.

Our daughter enjoyed her burger, and the onion rings are the crispiest, most delicious onion rings I've ever had! Don't sleep on this place, wishing the family well and many years of success. The food and service are quite solid.

The food was good, but we experienced the struggle that we often do with US Spanish restaurants. Basically it's just very pricey for portions and also this tendency to try to do something to the food to "elevate" it in a way. Which is cool if you wanna do Spanish fusion but most tapas are fundamentally bar food in Spain, not fancy haute cuisine. So while the food was tasty, it wasn't quite authentic to the idea of bar tapas. That said, I'd definitely come back for the cold tapas - the ham and the cheese platter was impeccable, the drinks were also peak.

I'm really happy they've managed to weather COVID and recession.

However, it was quite loud inside so may not be the best spot for conversations. Lots of big groups so may be fun to go with a bunch of friends.

The mussels in the blue cheese broth came recommended - the broth was very thick and viscous, and way too overpowering, could barely taste the mussels through it and the combination was strange. The beef bourginon was the only delicious dish, and even then, crazy strong amounts of rosemary came through, and I'm not one to ever think there are too many herbs. The 3-course dinner is not worth the price if you add up the cost of the 3 dishes you're ordering.

My girlfriend and I stopped in before a flight, which in hindsight was a mistake. We ordered around 12:30 PM (niku beef udon, garlic pork udon, and chicken karaage), and it took nearly an hour to receive everything. The karaage came out first after about 40 minutes, then one udon about 10 minutes later, and the final dish close to an hour after ordering. Because of this, we weren't able to eat together unless one of us let our food go cold. On top of that, the restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, which made the long wait feel even worse. It also seemed like many other tables were experiencing similar issues--orders coming out at different times or missing entirely, with customers having to repeatedly follow up. What stood out most was the lack of communication. There was no acknowledgment of the delays, no check-ins, and no apology--not when the food was dropped off, and not even when we left. Given that we had to pay upfront and the price point was $20+ per bowl, it made the experience feel even more disappointing. While the portions were decent and the noodles seemed handmade, the food itself didn't feel particularly special to justify the wait or cost. I truly hope this feedback is helpful. With better timing, communication, and overall service, I think the experience could be much better.

Certainly not meat, but I can guarantee that you will be satiated by the creativity and flavor of the meat-adjacent dishes. The Portabello Wellington is a whimsical twist on the classic Gordon Ramsey specialty. I like to think that he would appreciate the artistic liberties that have been used here, instead of berating the chef. It's almost like a highly elevated hot pocket on a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes. Would order again. The savory waffle was the most intriguing dish by far. They heavily leaned into taking this as far away from any aspect of sweetness as possible by layering in herbs, butter, and a fantastic crema to go with those crispy boi fritters. But the most fantastic dish by far isn't shown below. It's the coconut cake. An absolute must order if you come to Cafe Flora. This cake is the epitome of decadence, and each bite will have you wondering if it's the best slice of cake you've had in your life. Eating this masterpiece is a life experience itself, and can't be compared to other foods. I imagine it's similar to how people feel after looking at their first born child. I implore my fellow carnivores to walk through the doors of Cafe Flora with an open mind. Prepare your palate for an evening without meat, but for a culinary journey that is full of surprises.
