Joli - Seattle

This restaurant had a movie playing in a provecto the entire time. The food was okay but nothing special. The highlight was the gin. I would recommend cocktails over their

This chic, Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant is severely underrated and deserves every bit of attention and recognition! New management has completely turned this place around into a 5 star facility, and it is not common that a place can give me 5 star service.My expectations were exceeded.Every dish I tried was an adventure and phenomenal, I kid you not. Ingredients I never thought would go together actually worked. My biggest favorites were: 1, corn bisque, which I will surely dream about. Served cold and unlike anything I've ever tasted. The blend of sweet creamy corn bisque, chili oil, a little radish and green onion...it's the ultimate comfort food dish that pulls you in within the first bite and leaves you wanting to order 5 more after.And 2: the charred broccolini. Wow...do not pass this one up. Even the pickiest of eaters who don't like veggies will fall in love with this dish. The crunchy chili flakes are excellent enough to be paired with just about anything, and really compliments the char on the broccolini without it being overwhelming. A light spiciness with great flavor and adds to the delicious creamed green garlic sauce.With a new curated menu about every month, you're able to try different things and find new favorites. No two dishes taste alike, they each have their own unique flavors. The servers are knowledgeable with the menu items, very personable and make you feel right at home. They also have an extended amount of 200+ gin's; if that isn't your thing, their other drinks are just as great, including lavender or sage lemonade.Do NOT sleep on this place! Every dish is a work of art and you can taste the love that was put into it. Thank me later, you'll be glad you went. ;

The staff is super knowledgeable and inviting.We tried 3 of the cocktails, each were fantastic (even the whiskey drinker enjoyed!)The roasted parsnips were delicious and there's nothing like em offered anywhere else.The steak with roasted shishito peppers were greatWe finished off the meal with 2 of the Hawaiian/Portuguese Malasada with warm Carmel sauce omg so goodAnd all of this was the perfect amount of food for 2 of us

It was our first visit, choosing items from just the sharing menu, paired with some tasty gin drinks. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious.

Without knowing anything about gin, the house gin and tonic was very good
