Reviews for Cook Weaver in Seattle, WA

Cook Weaver conflicted me. Some dishes were pretty good, others, although interesting, were a miss. I think it's worth a visit... just for the creativity and breath of flavors you get, but not sure it's a must-go spot. Read more

The food was delicious, the wine pairing worth the additional $50, and the service was excellent. Never had to wait between... courses & drinks, every staff member we spoke to was friendly & cared about the food being served, and it was a really nicesetting inside. We didn't leave hungry either! Really enjoyable evening. Read more

Went for the 7 course non-vegetarian tasting menu seated outside on a sunny day with a friend. Our two servers were so friendly... and nice, and brought our courses out at a comfortable pace over 1 hr and 45 minutes. I really enjoyed that this summer menufeatured vegetable courses upfront; the kale sautéed with house XO sauce was a surprise flavor hit! The squid ink rice noodlehad a fun bouncy texture, and went well with the sauce. Overall, the seasonality of ingredients really came through the dishesand nothing felt over-processed, I felt like I had a healthy and wholesome meal at the end that was also a great value. Willdefinitely go back seasonally! Read more

I had the tremendous pleasure of dining here with two friends last night and in no uncertain terms I can say that I have fallen... in love with the restaurant. We booked the chef‘s table experience because I was fascinated by the notion of being able to bein the kitchen itself watching the team craft each component of the meal, and it was everything I had hoped it might be plus somuch more. See for context I’m just a home cook presently but I have very serious aspirations to enter their world myself,and at Cook Weaver they quite literally personify the excellence and attitude that I am striving for. From the amuse bouche tothe dessert every single course was well thought out and balanced quite nicely. So often when I dine out I will find littlethings that I would want to change were I to make the preparation myself, I suppose it’s a byproduct of my love for cookingbecause I like to break down and understand the dish then think about what changes might make it interesting in a new andenjoyable way. It is a rare thing for me to go through the full sequence of a meal without finding at least one thing that Iwould have liked to see done differently yet that is precisely the sentiment I was left with following the experience lastnight. Another aspect that struck me was the nearly silent dance that took place before our eyes, though my experience to datein professional kitchens is still limited I am quite aware that many times the environment can be rather chaotic and(unnecessarily so) facilitate abusive behavior, Joël Robuchon was a prime example of an individual who ran his kitchen basedupon fear. His influence on the culinary world and the excellence of his restaurants and legacy are undeniable, but that said Icompletely reject the notion that his methods as it relates to the treatment of his staff were the best way. There are many whoromanticize the intensity in terms of caustic personalities that exist in a kitchen but I believe that the unfortunate bypr Read more

Cost environment and excellent service. The lamb course was a stand out. Creative dishes with thoughtful plating and... interesting flavors. The wine pairing was unexpected pairings but very good and an excellent value. The broccoli hasexceptional texture. I thought the turnips had a great flavor combination. Currently they are only offering a tasting menuwith either 5 or 7 courses. The amount of food was good. They had a good vegetarian option. I did think the squid ink platewas a little too salty and didn’t have any distinct flavor to pull it into the extraordinary category. Overall greatexperience and I can recommend it without reservation. Read more

Valentines dinner tasting menu: Vegetarian + non-Vegetarian. Excellent service (the waiter is super funny). Love the story of... Cook and Weaver (refer to Pushkin’s folktale about Tsar of Saltan) and the wall paper that depicts the story. Beautiful andtasty food. Lots of East Asian influence (Shiso, kelp, nori roll, kombucha, etc). Read more

The ambiance is great, cosy, warm and perfect for conversation. The decor is charming, and the history of the place has been... highlighted. The servers are extremely friendly and courteous. The food itself was pretty great. The courses flowed well fromone to another, and were representative of seasonal produce and the weather, and definitely had a signature. (We tried thevegetarian menu). I did like having all the courses as small plates. Reasons for 4 vs 5 stars: Service wise, the courses need tobe spaced out a lot more. Especially if not doing the wine pairing. There needs to be enough time to let each course sinkin. Pricing wise, I would love if it were marginally lower. Read more

We had such an excellent dinner experience at Cook Weaver! The service was wonderful and the 7 course tasting menu even... better. There’s nothing that we didn’t like or eat. Even my husband who hates Liver pate! I don’t even know what myfavorite course was, because every dish was cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly, the right temperature, and the flavors allcomplemented each other. The wine list and drinks are also super affordably priced, which is a welcome change in tastingrestaurants. If I can recommend a fix, I would absolutely add white tablecloths to up the elegance in the interior. That waythe ambiance would complement the refined cuisine better. We’ll definitely be back, and tell our friends to visit because Ican’t recommend this restaurant enough. Read more
