The food and presentation has remained a solid 10 out of 10. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, 1 salad that we shared, 2 entrees 2 deserts, 2 coffee's and 1 bottle of a very nice Southern Rhone wine for a price that was at least 1/3 less the cost of their value. Lamb shanks and duck breast in a reduced cherry sauce that was perfectly prepared, presented and served. I am very particular about duck even if you can find it on a menu. It was a 12. If you miss this dining experience you lose. This is European chefing at its finest. In Parkland no less. A 3 or 4 times a year type of fine dining place. Yes, we eat out often and know our stuff.

It is full of unique flavors, classic dishes, and lovely presentation. The service was excellent, our server being kind and attentive. She was warm and was sure to check on us, but didn't overdo it. There is an excellent selection in every course - even toting es cargot, which is not easy to find in these parts. The bread with the leftover garlic butter was heaven! We enjoyed a little of everything, sharing dishes and having plenty left over to take home! The bistro ambience was wonderful and inviting, if a little cheesy (in the best way). We will be back to try more of their menu soon! Can't wait!

The food was a hit for both adults and kids - our favorites is Pineapple Schnitzel; Polish Platter is a good choice if you want to try a variety.

Service was decent. It did take a little time for food to come out but wasn't too bad. Chicken crepe -- these were surprisingly good.

The potatoes, salad and salsa was all good as well Khinkali -- skin was a little thick but it was decent. Price was very good for the dishes. Everything was good but nothing really stood out for me

Every little detail is amazing. They made our night very special hands down. The food was phenomenal. Everything so fresh. I loved that a lot of the seasonal things I grow myself was also on their menu. The wine pairings were good, but like most things, wines are subjective to personal taste. And last but certainly not least, inside the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. A very intimate affair and it was nice that the you could see them cooking and preparing your food. The chef explained everything about the meal before you started. Definitely will be going as much as possible while we still reside in the state.

The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.

They have two tasting menus (omnivorous and vegetarian) which I appreciate. We both chose the omnivorous. Portions are tiny but there's a lot of courses. A huge downside for us was how long in between courses there was. We were getting pretty hungry at one point and our conversation fell into a lull because we were just eager for food lol. The experience was around 3.5 hours. It would have been a lot better if it stuck to 2 hours. Maybe 3 max. Food was beautifully presented and quite tasty though!

Eating in the small kitchen while watching Chef Zac and Ben plate up the food, asking him how he made a specific dish was such a unique experience. He makes everything sound easy to make, but the presentation and flavors were unreal. Our favorites were the wagyu tartar, black cod and corn soup. At one point when we had the first bite of the wagyu tartar, my husband turned to me and said, "This may be the best bite of food I've ever had." Enough said. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. Just go here. You won't regret it. Thanks to Zac, Ben and Sheady for making our anniversary an unforgettable one.

If you don't want to read to the end, the…read moreshort vers = I came here to celebrate my 40th bday, and we paid premium prices for a frankly awful meal that left my bf with food poisoning. The more detailed vers: I found this place on Yelp, but had never visited before. I was SO excited by the glowing recommendations, so my bf and I decided to choose it to make my 40th bday dinner special. - First clue something was off was the place was dead. We were the SOLE patrons there on a Sunday night! - My mandarin basil mocktail was quite literally a glass of grapefruit juice with a single basil leaf on top. - We ordered crispy brussel sprouts as an appetizer; not only were they not crispy but they were near raw? Tough, undercooked brussel sprouts lol what - My main was paella, it was...fine...not terrible but they were super stingy with the seafood, there were only 2 meager chunks of chicken, 3 tiny scallops and like 3 shrimp in the entire dish. Keep in mind these plates were fine dining prices; the ingredients here likely cost dollars, at best - Bf's steak was overcooked It was bad enough where I politely said something to the waitress which I NEVER do and she apologized and said their lead chef called in sick so all they had was a chef in training. Anyway that was all fine, we laughed it off at the time aa bad luck. But yesterday my bf's stomach was upset the whole day, and that my friends was the final straw to push me to write this review. To the restaurant owners: it's one thing to have a mediocre dinner, who cares; but we paid high prices to be served crummy food, have a special night be disappointing and then to get sick afterward? That's not alright. I will say, the service was great and the staff very polite so it pains me to write this but it felt necessary.

We went to Pimienta Bistro for my birthday dinner, and it was a wonderful experience…read more We started with the Rustic Bread served with olive oil and balsamic reduction. The bread was perfectly baked, delicately salted, and the balsamic was so good you'd be tempted to drink it. My husband ordered a Dark and Stormy, but the first one tasted like it was made with vodka instead of rum. Our server was kind and professional about it, and the replacement cocktail was much better. I had the Basil Martini, which was fantastic, herbaceous, refreshing, and easy to sip. For dinner, I ordered the Duck Confit, my favorite dish on the menu. It was beautifully presented, tender, and full of flavor. My husband had the Pan-Seared Scallops with polenta cakes and lobster-truffle beurre blanc, and he said they were delicious. The atmosphere added to the experience. I liked the artwork, and the music hit all the right notes. We were greeted and seated right away, and the service stayed attentive throughout the evening. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and presentation make it worth it. This is my favorite restaurant in Federal Way and always feels special every time we visit.

I had enough food from that one order to split into two meals that both filled me up... their rice was amazing, the lamb tasted clean and fresh, and their bread was perfectly chewy and soft.
