   We really enjoyed our Christmas Eve PreFix. Delicious and generous courses, great cocktails, friendly staff and warm ambiance.

   Love shaker and spear normally. Have never had a miss in all the years of going there. But if you're going to charge a hefty amount for a fixed meal on xmas eve, you really have to have the service to go with it. Took forever to get a server to come by at all, and then had to ask her to take our drink order. First course took a very long time - we were done with our drinks. Third course only 2 were brought for three people and no one noticed, we had to ask for the third plate. They were apologetic, but they can't do much that's meaningful with a fixed-course dinner, so we got port at the end, but for folks driving, that doesn't do much. The food was absolutely great - too much of it to possibly be eaten by a human, that was too bad - but it was fantastic. But we were so surprised by the service issues. Never, ever have had that there. Still love it and will definitely continue to be a patron.

   My husband loves his fancy dinners, so after a weekend in Leavenworth and before our flight home, I researched about best restaurants in Seattle and chose this one. It’s kinda hard to get to not knowing the city, and parking is another story, but the service was excellent! We chose the filet with scallops, the chicken and the salmon for entree’s- all of them were very very good! We had the sashimi and the avocado and crab- super yummy! I would totally recommend this restaurant!!! A+

   Overall, food was delicious! They did seem a bit overwhelmed for a Sun, but there was a show right next door at The Moore. Not sure they were fully prepared, it seemed like there was one server for the upstairs dinning area. It looked like there were at least 5 food runners. Tables by the window/door were a bit chilly.

   Interesting experience with hit / miss food. Focaccia arrived dry The duck fat potatoes were excellent The octopus had a lot of potential and the serving size was great The tiger prawns were wasted with a very off seasoning Carrot risotto was pretty good The cod came with an 4 bite portion for $45++ and was tasty but carelessly prepared with bones in! The chai flan was amazing Service was friendly Cocktails were fine I guess Ambiance is great but the 4 person table is really a 2 person table. Toss up if I will return.
