    The prices are much too high. We had a fish of the day, which was scallops, but the plate was primarily pasta.

    Appetizers great, wine selection solid, service just right. The entrées, however, were overpriced and underwhelming. The carbonara closer to an alfredo with meager bits of prosciutto. The flavor profile was shallow and disappointing. It was not terrible, but it was not worth the price.

    I brought my adult daughters here after not having been here in literally decades. It was still the same, great service, professional and the food was delicious. I know it's more of a date night thing, but it was wonderful to have a nice dinner with my daughters after Christmas shopping. I highly recommend.

    Great service - gracious, helpful, attentive. Excellent food - especially the antipasti plate. Flourless chocolate torte was perfect. Cozy relaxed room. Extremely loud.

    50 years! This classic Seattle Pike Place Market restaurant delivers a fun experience, good food, and charming atmosphere. We had a particularly abrupt and curt server who didn't pay much attention and was seemingly in a hurry, as if we were at Olive Garden, which was unfortunate, but we would return again. Dining in or having late night cocktails in the bar are great too. Overall great food and atmosphere.
