Trove - Seattle

I was excited to try out this place learning that it's the same chef as Revel which I'm a fan of, but I left a bit disappointed.

The front counter has a fun and simple vibe, perfect for a quick meal. The bar area is lively and only for those 21 and over. The restaurant itself has a chill and hip ambiance, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends.

I am obsessed with Trove! I loooooove Revel, so I was excited to try this place out, especially since I live in Capitol Hill.

Have eaten here several times. Was surprised that with a reservation we were still sitting at a booth looking into the kitchen. We could have asked to be moved, but we didn't want to. The waiter was very enthusiastic, but failed to fill glasses of water without being asked. My husband's lasagna was a huge brick in the middle of an unadorned plate. A little salad or something green and crispy would have been nice. Not an à la carte fan, especially when it comes to the price of the main course alone. The room was very dark and a bit noisy. I would ask not to sit in this area another time.

Our family of 6 had a really fabulous dinner because we were lucky enough to have the private room. It was the perfect place for the last night of our vacation. We come back every year and don't eat dinner until the last evening of our trip at Tucci Benucch. It has become a family tradition. We love the breadsticks with delicious olive oil, the wine prices are reasonable and there are Italian wines on the list. The food is delicious and the portions are large. Our server was really great too!
