  We booked this place kind of last-minute without knowing what to expect, and it really ended up being a hidden gem. Everything about the experience was satisfying — the food was flavorful, the drinks hit the mark, and the service was friendly and smooth. It’s one of those spots where you go in with low expectations and leave thinking, “Wow, that was actually really good.” The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, which made it easy to enjoy the whole meal without feeling rushed. Definitely a spot we’ll remember and want to revisit — it’s rare to stumble upon a place that surprises you like this in the best way.

  I wish higher end restaurants would focus on quality over quantity. Portions are obscene - no wonder everyone is so unhealthy. The service is excellent, the food is great, but could be (should be) excellent, if they'd trim portions 25% and put a tiny more effort on quality. I'd leave feeling happy and healthy.

  Used to LOVE coming to the Goldfinch for celebrations like our engagement and birthdays. We always bring a few close friends and enjoy the brunch experience with a fun atmosphere over the years. My partner called ahead this weekend on our 10 year anniversary to see if the brunch and *bottomless* mimosas were still available. They said they were so we took an Uber there to celebrate. But alas.....nothing bottomless about a $16 single mimosa.... Our waiter apologized that they had just removed that option a "couple of weeks ago" and we were told the wrong information. Nothing they could do. So we each had a $25 cocktail instead. Not to be that girl but my fries were still half frozen. I miss the fun, I miss the quality and I'm frankly really disappointed that the wonderful experience has gone. Desserts are still lovely and the cute celebratory greeting. But it feels a bit limp over all now 😭

  Editing review: wrote the manager an email on Feb 6th. Still have yet to get a response. As I mentioned before in my review. There are other places worth eating at. This place is ok. Upon arrival the hostess was not there. After waiting nearly 10 minutes, she arrived and was very friendly. Once I sat down, the server showed up another 10 minutes later just to take drink orders. She mentioned that the bar was a make shift bar and they would take longer than expected which seemed odd for a restaurants in this price point. Food was ok. Ordered the rigatoni, nothing special. Ordered the vegan option as well, too pricey for what it was. The drinks were great and they were worth the wait. Look for other gems in Seattle since this place is not worth it.

  Amazing experience all around! We had a couple of Old Fashioneds for our drinks, the Focaccia bread appetizer, I had the tomato soup and the Wynns Salad (delish!!!) And hubby had the Roasted Chicken entrée. Coconut milk sorbet alongside some cordials were the perfect desserts! Seriously, everything was delicious and on point! Our server was Isaiah and he was a true genuine delight! Ask for him when you come and you will for sure have a wonderful time!!!! 10000000000% recommend!!!!!!!
