Reviews for 84 Yesler in Seattle, WA
One of my most favorite restaurants in Seattle. Influenced by Japanese and Italian cuisines - do not think sushi or red sauced... pasta! This is clean, fresh and interesting flavor combinations. Where you can taste all the flavors of each element of thedish, all prepared and served with care. It’s where you go to appreciate the creativity of the kitchen, and you’re not justeating for sustenance. #eatwithlockemichelle Read more
Service was great and the food was tasty and interesting, but I It wasn’t anything that truly lived up to other fine dining... experiences I’ve had from a flavor perspective. We had the tasting g menu, and wished we had stuck to the a la carte optionsinstead based on other reviews and the trends of the evening. Still some hidden gems in the tasting menu, but if it is yourfirst time it may be best to stick with the staples that made it into the permanent menu Read more
The food here is absolutely amazing. Unique food with exceptional presentation and flavors. Too bad our experience was so... horribly tainted by the extremely rude, condescending female Somalia on staff. After not finishing one of the wine pairings mygirlfriend was asked by a server if she liked it since she had not drank much. She said it was not to her liking but she wasfine to wait for the next course. The Somalia then came by and very rudely poured her a different glass and gave her a longlecture about how the wine would’ve tasted better if she would’ve just given it a chance. Then every following course shewould come hover over her until she tried it. My girlfriend resorted to saying she liked it just so the lady would back awayfrom our table. The Somalia would then come back and told her WHY She should like it rather than telling her ABOUT the wine. Asif, to make my girlfriend uncomfortable if she didn’t drink it all. She would go on and on, after we said thank you(tryingagain to dismiss her) to tell us how the wine complements the food and “if she knew that then she should’ve enjoyed it theway the Somalia chose it”. I’ve never been to an establishment and had to watch my girlfriend be so insulted in my life by aSomalia, in an effort to just enjoy our evening! Other than that, beautiful kitchen, amazing staff And a present owner who iscommitted to his establishment. I can’t say I would ever return, even with the exceptional food, as long as the incrediblyrude staff member is employed here. My girlfriend ended up leaving the restaurant in tears. However they did stop me as I triedto follow her out and asked to comp the wine pairing. Which I thought was very professional and shows they care about thecustomer being happy. I would’ve preferred the whole experience to be simply enjoyable and less emotionally charged(by astaff member). I felt extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to spend a nice evening out with my girlfriend. We hope thatothers h Read more
This is an outstanding restaurant. Simply put, if you're looking for an exquisite dining experience with top notch service and... modern unique food in Seattle, you have to check out 84 Yesler! My wife and I were blown away by the food, especially theirhomemade pastas. Each bite of tomato gnocchi was like a bite of tomato soup. We had several dietary restrictions but the kitchenwas happy to adjust menu items accordingly. In all of our years working in restaurants we have never seen such a calm andprofessional kitchen. The chef stood silently as she observed each dish being made. There was zero chaos and everything came outso beautiful! We felt like judges on Top Chef. We highly recommend eating here, and if possible, ask for Justin to be yourserver. His service is impeccable. Read more
Such a wonderful place! The service really stands out. We were greeted by name by a host who was standing outside the restaurant... waiting for us. We were immediately seated and attended to. The waiter knew the menu well and gladly gave expert insight intowhat to order. Lastly, the quality of the food and cocktails was outstanding, in addition to a beautiful presentation. Thisplace takes fine dining to a whole new level. I can’t wait to come back when I visit Seattle again! Read more
Incredible. I’ve eaten at a lot of 2 and 3 Michelin Star restaurants and 84 Yesler is better than most of them. This... restaurant is the top of their game. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Food was super tasty and prices were reasonablefor this level of quality. The wine pairing matched perfectly with each dish. Read more
Wonderful and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. We did the tasting menu and all 3 of us were disappointed. Their first two... courses were good the rest of the course was fishy and seem like bad quality, on these courses it was the lobster with caviarpasta and the fish dish. Very strong fishy aroma and tastes unpleasant. The presentation was gorgeous. FYI, Margarita is prettybad too, we had to send it back. For a $900 dinner, I expect better quality. Don't think we will return. Read more
Excellent spot for creative cocktails and delicious food. The tuna tartare and octopus starters were excellent! The staff here... are exceptional with their service and hyper attentive. The staff work together like a well orchestrated team and look out foreach other at each of their tables. Gratuity is automatically included. Read more
