  Always classy with an exquisite meal choice. Their crab stuffed prawns were incredibly rich- you might think about splitting the 4 large ones, which we did and were satisfied with. The tuna is always my favorite. Great ambience with the live piano makes for a romantic experience. Highly recommend

  Food is great, although this place would be in the pricey category. Great location on the waterfront with beautiful views and live piano. On sunny days, you can sit on the patio. Parking is complimentary valet and easy to get to. There is a service charge of 20% automatically applied which does seem to take a little of the service away, but it's not too noticeable.

  In the past, I’ve really enjoyed both the food and service. On this last trip, when I was presented with the check, management had added a 20% “Service Charge”. We were a party of 4. This is common on larger parties but usually agreed in advance. There was an explanation along with the check that they pay higher than average to the staff and I am not expected to tip further. I object to this arrangement. A gratuity is my vote on the service. I have no say in how a restaurant pays their employees but I do have a vote at the end of my experience to tip well or not at all if I am not satisfied. My wife and I routinely eat at upscale restaurants. Service is such an establishment is an art. I like to grade as we go. It is part of the experience. If they need to increase their prices by 20%, they should do so. I did not agree to a service charge before the meal. I didn’t fight with them about it at the end, the service was excellent and I would have probably given the server 25% as a thank you. However, I don’t like having someone impose their philosophy of how much I should give. In short, they are deciding on how I spend my money. I will take my business to another excellent restaurant instead.

  I can normally eat anything, I'm not picky. I ordered a scallops dish and the sauce was disgusting did not eat it. My dates steak was served undercooked. Online reservations did not work. When I called I was not able to make a reservation for a window table. The service and atmosphere was nice and the piano man was great. It was a $230 dinner that no one ate :( very sad I would not recommend this place for dinner.

  A higher end seafood establishment right on the waterfront. We were told it was a "must visit" in Seattle and we were not disappointed. The oysters and scallops for appetizers were both exceptional. For the main course I had the blackened cod and we shared the crab mac and cheese, both of which I would certainly recommend. Do save room for desert if you can as the bread pudding is legendary !
