“I’ve had breakfast/brunch food here only, so this rating is for only those categories. The standout aspect of this restaurant is simply the evident quality of the ingredients. (And obviously professional quality chefs - yummy stuff). You can taste the difference. I’m always telling myself to come here more often. Very nice waitstaff also and relaxed atmosphere. There is a patio area that is dog friendly and fantastic on a sunny day. Far superior to any nearby breakfast/brunch places and the best breakfast that I’ve had in Seattle.”
