If I could give more than five stars I would.
I had dinner with friends, to celebrate one of their birthdays and it was the most spectacular experience.
Not only was the food phenomenal in taste and presentation but the staff was so attentive and made us feel so special, down to the purse holders that one of our attentive waiters magically pulled from his apron, to help us keep our purses off the floor but close by and accessible.
The careful selection of food pairings, even those adjusted so those in our party that were gluten free didn't feel shortchanged in the experience, was magical in flavor.
Napkins were refolded, if not exchanged for new ones, when a member of the table left left to use the restroom, and when it came time for dessert the staff made sure to present an extra dessert with a hand crafted white chocolate with a milk chocolate signature of happy birthday written on it.
I highly recommend the wine pairing, which I shared with my husband.
Not only was every pairing perfect but each bottle was presented with a story and history of its significance.
This dinner experience was a gift for all of us on so many levels.
I can't wait to pay it forward.

I had the lucky experience to sit at the counter for dinner.
I was able to watch the chefs prepare each meal.
The decor blended well with the light and restaurant. Several times through the night, I visited the bathroom, and each time, the staff were vigilant to ensure we dont bump into them.
The staff were very friendly and fun to talk to.
Some even played along with my jokes. The chefs were very focused on creating their dishes.
Despite this, they enthusiastically answered any questions I had about the meal.
I learned a lot about the preparation.
As a chef myself, I can see the passion they had for the food they served. The food was immaculate.
Each bite made me wish for more.
In total, about 7 courses, but some courses were split up into multiple pieces.
In the beginning, the appetizers consisted of local seasonal cuisine to seattle as well as local seafood.
The plated items captured the diverse agriculture of seattle. Overall the experience was amazing ans i cant wait to come back one day for their delicious food.
