The Whale Wins - Seattle

The chicken liver pate was the best I have had in Seattle fine restaurants. Our hostess was the best, when we couldn't decide which champagne by the glass to order, she let us taste each of them to decide. So nice of her. Very knowledgeable about the wine list. The food was very good.

Have to be honest, overall we were disappointed after hearing so many great things, especially as this was our first experience at a Renee Erickson restaurant. The food was good, but not amazing. I would say our two favorite dishes were the cauliflower dish and the salad. The main dish (wish was Black Cod) was actually NOT good at all, flavorless and kinda fishy. And the desserts were actually downright bad, so I would not recommend getting dessert. Our server was lovely and very attentive, and the place is cute, but for the money, I would go somewhere else before I'd go back here. Disappointing.

The food was wonderful. Fabulous oysters. An excellent cauliflower dish. Delightful waiter. We sat outside which at first we were afraid would be chilly, but the heat lamps kept us cozy. We loved it.

Had a lovely dinner — it was a cozy and comfortable experience with rounds of dishes coming out while we talked the evening away.

5 of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner of deliciously varied cuisine and wonderful service. As old friends we had a lot to talk about, and the staff were so patient with our intermittent lack of follow through on ordering. From openers through dessert we enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and great food.
