"From the moment you walk in, you know it's going to be special! I always feel like I'm putting "healthy" food in my body at Tilikum. It just happens to also be tasty and beautifully prepared. The staff is always helpful and knowledgable. Everyone I introduce feels the same way. Thank you!"

"So glad we tried this place! Food was fresh and tasty and the service is really good. I'd love to see a little more use of local fresh fruit and produce but other than that, I can't argue with anything. Great brunch spot; we'll be back again!"

"The chef is superb, producing a limited choice of interesting and delicious food. The bar has a wide selection of wines, and superb cocktails.
The staff are outstanding and the welcome is warm and genuine.
I always eat at least once every time I come to Seattle and I visit every few months.

"Food was okay. Didn't have what I saw on a food magazine but it was still good. The service was super slow. Even with a reservation. Even as we sat down, didn't get serviced until 20 min after we were seated. Started with coffee and bread and it must have taken another 30 min for just coffee and bread service. I treated my gf's out as my bday treat."

"What a lovely gem! The restaurant has the feel of a bistro in Paris, but with wonderfully prepared dishes that reflect the Northwest. Everything was fresh and scrumptious! The service was professional, yet very personable. We look forward to dining at Tilikum again the next time we visit Seattle."

"Tilikum Place Cafe was a wonderful choice while visiting in Seattle. I had the special- crab eggs benedict on home made biscuits! The portions were perfect and the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice refreshing. So glad I booked a reservation through open table. We had a small wait but not even close to the walk-in's that had been waiting for over an hour. Great local spot, small, and high quality food."

"This was our first time and we thouroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The homemade pasta appetizer with sage sauce was incredible, the oysters with mignonette outstanding and my chicken with brussels sprouts delicious. The comfortable vibe of the restaurant added to the evening. We wouldn't hesitate to go back."

"My wife and I had heard great things about this restaurant and made reservations through OpenTable for breakfast at 9:30 am on a Saturday morning. We were visiting Seattle from San Francisco for the weekend and was staying at a hotel in Queen Anne neighborhood. When we arrived at 945 am, the hostess told us we could sit at the bar since we were "late". I told her we were from out of town and tried our best to make it there on time after looking for and paying for parking. The restaurant was half empty, so, I asked if we could sit at any of the empty tables. She said, "No, we have a strict policy and those tables are for later reservations..." Feeling unwelcomed and dissapointed in the service, My wife and I left"

"We followed the recomendation of Anthony Bourdain and were not disappointed! Our foodie weekend had many highlights in and around Seattle but Tilikum was the high point because all 4 meals were A+! We went to Tillikum for weekend brunch. Our foursome enjoyed the sweet & savory Dutch babies, the special cornbread, chorizo eggs benedict and the veggie hash with eggs. All super delicious. Great presentations, wonderful warm ambiance and friendly service. We will definitely go back when we are in town again. They know what they are doing at Tilikum!"

"I enjoyed a great lunch. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was fabulous. Quiet enough to conduct business (I was there for a business meeting), but warm and intimate environment. Make a reservation - not easy to get a seat without one as it's a fairly small space. Moderately priced for exceptional food!"

"one of our favorite places to eat before a play (at Seattle Rep/The Center House theater). The food is good, the service is mindful of your time deadline (for instance they might respectfully suggest that the item you are thinking of ordering might take too long) and you usually can find street parking (street parking is metered until 8 pm & free after 8 pm) if you are arriving around dinnertime."

"Had a lovely evening. We couldn't be seated right away so were served a bit 'o Prosecco to keep us happy. Felt very well cared-for by the staff all evening. Food was good but I can't remember what I ate so I can't say it was fit for foodies. But I consider myself a foodie and I recall being happy with everything served. I do remember the Uptown Manhattan. That was quite notable and delicious. Loved the atmosphere. It was close quarters but good energy. A bit too loud for my taste but we eventually contributed to the din as the Prosecco and Uptown Manhattans kicked in."

"The food was very hit or miss. For instance, our savory tart was fantastic, while the salad that came with it tasted like salt. The same was true for the main course: great vegetarian lasagna, with extremely salty greens."

"This is our favorite "go to" restaurant in our neighborhood. Always excellent, always welcoming -- just a treasure! Not sure we want the world to know how good it is because we don't want to share too much!"

"This has been our favorite "go to" neighborhood restaurant for several years. Along with menu favorites, there are
always special dishes of the day with innovative preparation and presentation.
The ambience is perfect, staff always engaging, excellent wine list, but above all the food is consistently perfectly prepared."

"We were a party of 7. The waitress provided excellent service. The food was consistently delicious:). We were celebrating my partner's birthday and they accomodated with helping us store the cake and cut it. Thank you Tilikum!"
