    Pulpo

    The service was excellent and the vibes were really good too. I loved the selection of Spanish wines and beers too. 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.

    Ibrica* so good

    Delicious food, recommend the beats were delicious, octopus is so tender and the signature iberico is a must. The Serrano ham was old not as good as iberico ham, would pass. Atmosphere was so fun upstairs. Recommend the counter experience. Service was friendly and fast. Can't wait to come back again

    Came here to celebrate a birthday and the food and service was amazing! We sat at the bar so we were able to watch the chefs make the dishes in front of us. The iberico was so tender and the potatoes were so yummy. 5/5 Our fav was the sea bass! The skin had a perfect crunch and was well seasoned 5/5 I would honestly pass on the tortilla espanola next time since it didn't taste special but it was still good. Would come again!

    A group of us went to celebrate a friend's birthday and the team at Harvest Vine made it special. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We sat downstairs which was cozy; next time I would try the bar which looked lively. We ordered a variety of tapas, all of which were well executed and flavorful. My favorite was the salt cod. A delightful evening.

    This is such a neighborhood gem. It's unassuming from the street, but step inside and it's a very charming but comfortable restaurant -- bright and airy in the summertime with the garage siding open and patio seating, or moody and intimate on a dark winter evening. The tapas menu is excellent. My most recent visit we had the anchovies, the cheese pairing, the sautéed mushrooms, the octopus and the Iberico pork. They were all excellent. The waitstaff are very kind and the wine menu is impressive. This is a wonderful date night spot.

    The restaurant is quite small with a 12 top at the bar and 3 tables close behind them. While the size of the space adds a personal feel, it also means things can get a little tight very quickly. Despite the cramped setting, the ambiance was pleasant, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, answered our questions and throughout the night constantly kept refilling our waters. I ordered the beef tongue starter, pulpo, venison entree, and the basque cheesecake. Overall the food was pretty good with the venison entree being the best item I tried. I especially liked the mushrooms that came with it. However, while the quality of the food was impressive, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the portion sizes. Every entrée I ordered was surprisingly small, looking like appetizers despite their entrée-level pricing. The most disappointing dish was the octopus. I was expecting a big tentacle for that price but instead got 6 tiny bites with potatoes underneath. I left the restaurant severely hungry but out of almost $200. If you're looking for a place to sample a few high-quality, well-prepared bites, Harvest Vine might be worth a visit. But if you're trying to have a normal dinner I'd recommend not burning a hole in your wallet and going somewhere else.

    This is an upscale Spanish tapas restaurant located around Capitol Hill/Madison Valley area. I made reservations for a Saturday dinner, which is not too hard availability-wise but necessary to guarantee a seat as the place is small and busy. We were seated downstairs, which had a cozy and old school type of ambience. We tried 4 dishes from the main menu and a dessert. To pair with the food, we got 1 glass each of the red and white wines, recommended by the server, which was solid. They made a mistake with the white wine pour so we got to keep the extra glass for free which was a nice surprise. Torchon de foie: cold foie gras with a selection of fruit jams. This is a limited dish as we got the very last one at 5:30pm (just 30min after opening). This is a pretty friendly introduction to foie gras served in a different manner (as most fine dining establishments go with seared). $28 for this is ok value, for decent quality. For the price point, I would have appreciated more than 3 small pieces of bread so that we can enjoy and top-up the foie gras without having too much leftover to eat the foie gras directly. Remolachas: nice ratatouille-like arrangement of beets. This is a cold dish, and the tartness with the olive oil go well together. I am not a fan of beets, but I still enjoyed this dish. It is one of the lighter dishes. Lubina (sea bass): nicely crispy skin, very flavorful and tender. I liked it so much I forgot to take a picture (a super rare phenomena of me). But $34 for a small dish is very steep. Iberico: their signature dish. High quality pork prepared like a medium doneness steak. The potatoes were really flavorful and we ended up licking the plate (figuratively, of course, as this is a nice restaurant). Again, the plate could be larger for $32. Dessert: we got flan de cafe which is delicious and a great way to end the meal. It is sweet for my typical dessert but not too sweet like American desserts. I love the bottom cookie-like texture that stands out compared to the typical flan. Service is good as water refills are frequent. After tax/tip, the bill came out to be about $200, which is $100 per person, which is quite high for the amount of food you get vs the quality. Not saying the food is not good, as it was delicious, but at this price point, I expected more.

    The restaurant has two levels. The upper level is a bit crowded and noisy. The lower level is like wine cooler. With wine bottles on the wall. It is cozy and quiet. The dishes are tasty but small. They are too pricey for the size. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The mushrooms are great. The bread was ok with to much flour and hard to break. The omelet was good decoration ; but no flavor. It was too bland. You can try this for a different cuisine.

    Harvest Vine is famous in Seattle for its Spanish/Basque cuisine. It would be foolish to not check this off my to-eat list. The ambiance is homey, the service was relaxed though also attentive, and the food was great. Reservations is a must on the weekend. Being our first time, we went with several popular staples. The Food: Tortilla Espanola, $14 - 3 Stars Menu: warm potato onion omelette with alioli This one didn't hit the right notes for us. Overall, it felt blend. Potato and mayo (essentially) need a bit more something else since it's served as a starter, not as a side. Berenjena, $18 - 5 Stars Menu: roasted eggplant with tomato frito, sheep cheese & anchovy A must order! That was so flavorful and delicious. The anchovy is subtle in case that is a concern. Iberico de Bellota, $31 - 5 Stars Menu: grilled acorn fed pata negra pig with panadera potatoes & cider sauce The house signature dish is worthy of its name. My oh my. This is so good. The quality of the pork is so dark, it's like beef. Highly recommend. Trucha - 5 Stars Menu: pan roasted trout with porcini mushrooms, leeks & jamon serrano They served a rotating fish, seasonally available. The preparation, the sear of the skin, and all the sides are simply superb. Also highly recommend.

    A friend recommended The Harvest Vine as a dinner venue that could accommodate a large group. Online you can only reserve a table for 6 so I had to send an email to inquire. The manager responded to my inquiry pretty quickly. If the group is more than 12 then it would require a prix fixe menu. For our group of 12, we ordered roughly 3 items per person which was more than enough. The only alcohol served at the restaurant is wine or aperol spritzes. My favorite dishes were the Iberico and Pulpo a la Planca. Our two servers were very attentive and friendly throughout the evening.

    Service was amazing. They really took the time to go over the food and wine menu and kindly refilled our bread basket. The food was delicious but very small portions- the cutest paella pan I've ever seen. It does take some time for the food to be prepared as most need to be roasted. I would definitely consider again for a special occasion. No parking available and lots of construction in the area during our visit.

Pre-event coordination was difficult from the start. During the venue walkthrough, the venue coordinator was dismissive and seemed unwilling to collaborate with the wedding's own coordinator or with me. They mentioned a connection point for the house sound system but couldn't locate or demonstrate it that day. After weeks of follow-up emails and delays, they eventually sent a photo of a corroded, dirt-covered RCA cable -- the "connection point" in question. Sound check scheduling was last-minute and disorganized. I was given only a few days' notice for available test dates, and on the day of my scheduled sound check, I arrived to an empty building and had to wait outside before anyone responded. Once inside, staff couldn't operate their own house sound system -- they called the owner, who also couldn't identify the issue, and ultimately staff had to consult an AI chatbot to find a mislabeled control knob. In total, roughly 45 minutes to an hour were lost due to the venue's own unfamiliarity with its equipment, with no acknowledgment of the delay. Communication went quiet after that, and on the morning of the wedding, the owner reached out asking me to source a specialized cable last-minute for a plan that had already been agreed upon at the walkthrough. At that point I opted to run my own independent sound setup rather than rely on the venue's system, requesting only power access -- which turned out to be a string-light outlet in the garden (functional, at least). During the reception, catering ran out of the main entrée with no apparent contingency plan, and staff simply told guests there was no more available. Later in the evening, the venue coordinator asked me to lower the music to a level equivalent to normal conversation, well ahead of the agreed-upon time and far below the previously stated decibel limit. When I asked for clarification or documentation (a decibel reading, for example), I was told I was being "confrontational" and to simply comply. The coordinator did not return with any supporting information despite agreeing to. The owner later asked me to end the music 30 minutes before the contracted end time, which I declined per our agreement, and the event concluded on schedule. To be clear, the venue's front-line staff -- bartenders and servers -- were excellent and were genuinely the highlight of the night from a service standpoint. Unfortunately, the venue's management and event coordination were unprepared and inconsistent throughout, which added avoidable stress to the couple's wedding day. I hope this feedback is useful for Bottlehouse's future operations, but I can't currently recommend the venue for weddings or events based on this experience.

To be fair, I'm not usually a fancy multi-course meal person, but at about $75 per person, I was willing to pay for a memorable experience. Because the menu was so different, our group decided to order à la carte. We had seen octopus empanadas and expected those, only to learn the empanada in the tasting menu was actually chicken. The server also explained that the tasting menu version would only be a one-bite portion, which made us stick with à la carte. The problem was that many of the à la carte dishes were tiny; around four bites, some barely an inch across. It felt more focused on presentation than flavor. What disappointed me most was that dishes inspired by familiar cuisines didn't stay true to them. The bacalao lacked the qualities I associate with island-style bacalao, the tahdig wasn't crispy as Persian tahdig should be, and the paella didn't evoke Valencia. The octopus dish and the bread were easily the highlights of the meal. After drinks, the bill came to around $120 per person before tip, yet the service wasn't particularly knowledgeable or passionate about the food. The biggest surprise? After spending over $300-400 for our group, I was still hungry enough to walk next door and buy empanadas. This may simply not be my style of dining. If you enjoy artistic, presentation-driven tasting experiences, you may love it. For me, though, it was an expensive experience that left me unsatisfied rather than impressed.

Just glancing at the menu during a stroll in Cap Hill interested me and I wanted to give this place a try. Paid a visit on a Friday around 6PM and was able to get a table fairly quickly. There are parking garages in the building that Nue is located at, though I am not sure about parking validation. There should be plenty of street parking as the restaurant is located more on the outskirts of Cap Hill. I got to the restaurant via a 10 minute walk from the nearest light rail station. Service was a bit slow when went, I think after we were seated, there unfortunately were two large groups that can in afterwards. We had to flag down the service workers to place our order and get the check. As for the food, it came out after 10 minutes one at a time. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, lots of memorabilia from various countries and even the check came out in a passport-esque binder. We got a couple of things, which I'll review down below: Carribean Pineapple Cornbread ($8): Tasty cornbread that has nice coconut flakes spread through the batter and around the cornbreads. The cornbread was moist and there is a pineapple undertone in the flavor profile. One downside was that the quantity is quite small, I think for the price, you get like 2 3x3 squares of cornbread, which I think is unfortunately not enough as an appetizer even. Chengdu Wings ($24): These wings do have a tasty flavor profile and have a fragrant aroma when you bite into them. The batter is crispy and they are pleasing to eat! Once again, I unfortunately think the suffers in terms of quantity - you maybe get like 3 wings for $24, which I personally think is a very steep price for fried chicken wings, regardless of the flavor profile. I understand that not everyone can handle very spicy flavor, and personally think that despite the name being Chengdu Wings, it serves as a good entry to Sichuanese cuisine for people given the motivation of the restaurant. Malaysian Dhal ($22): A pleasant dish that has a fragrant coconut, lime, and lemongrass flavor that represents the flavors of Malaysia well. The stew has a pleasant consistency and each bite coats your tongue with the fragrant flavors. The roti is flaky on the outside and soft on the inside - perfect for enjoying this dish. African Bunny Chow ($24): Probably the most filling dish that we have ordered at Nue - I think if you are hungry, maybe go for this one. There is a decent amount of meat in this dish, and the flavors are tasty - it feels like a slightly more toned down Dhal in terms of fragrance, but has a pleasant thicker consistency. In the end, I think Nue is better served as a Tapas-esque restaurant than a place you would visit if you are hungry. Prices vs. quantity does suffer quite a bit at Nue unfortunately, which is why I think it serves as a place to sample cuisines in a night out and then maybe visit elsewhere to complete your dinner. The food is flavorful and pleasing to the general audience, which is a good thing for people who generally aren't very adventurous in their culinary horizons. I'm not sure I would revisit, but I would definitely recommend this to people that lean more on the safer side of dining out.

    Sometimes one has to break being a creature of habit…read more Panini & mocha (and cookies) always will be at my long time indie, Irwin's. But I also love supporting other indie cafes and mega bonus points when they're motorcycle themed like Two Kick (QA/near SPU), The Wick (down the street), and now also Top Dead Center. The latter opened sometime over the summer, located at 77th & Aurora. I found parking around the corner off of Aurora (11/6/25). Can't park on Aurora since it's the 24/7 bus lane for Rapid Ride E. The big windows at the former Moto International building allow for plentiful natural light. Curated for motorcycle-philes and like minded enthusiasts. Ample seating adjacent to the front counter. There's also additional seating under the Benelli Service signage. During the cooler months, dress in layers. It does get a bit chilly along the big windows. Just saying. Coffee bevs that feature both Stumptown and Nguyen Coffee Supply roasts. There's other chilled bevs, panini sandwiches, tinned items, baked goods like scones, empanadas, and pastéis de nata (Nata!). Plus there's merch onsite to peruse...with the upcoming holiday season, unique gift ideas? And yes, they have onsite WiFi. I had a mocha and a mortadella and brie panini. The latter also came with pickled curried cauliflower. Good place to hangout in North Seattle with plentiful onsite seating and decent music playing.

    Friendly service. Based in an old motorcycle shop which was cool decor but a little smelly…read more Coffee was solid, but not spectacular. Pastel de nata was good. I believe the owner when he noted it was likely the best in seattle. It doesn't compare to Portugal, but that is not a criticism.
