I chose this place because of the good reviews, and honestly, I feel completely duped. The service was hands-down the worst I’ve ever experienced. We sat down at 7pm and weren’t even allowed to order until 7:30. Then everything crawled to the table at a snail’s pace. We didn’t get our main dishes until 8:40pm. Absolutely unacceptable. And to top it off, they slap on a mandatory 20% service fee.
The food was mediocre at best. Tiny portions, overpriced, and one appetizer that was supposed to be hot came out cold. The main dishes taste mid and is overpriced for the quality.
But the cherry on top of this disaster was the birthday cake situation. I brought my own cake to celebrate, and they tried to charge a $6 per person fee just to put it in the fridge. Per. Person. Not per cake. Per person. Who even comes up with something that ridiculous? It screams greed, not hospitality.
This place doesn’t care about customers; it only cares about squeezing every last dollar out of you. Save your time, your money, and your patience, and go literally anywhere else.
It took 30 min after we finished our first appetizers before the second round was served. The smoked octopus looked very nice, but I couldn’t taste or smell the aroma from grilled protein, which was a let down.
Seafood quality was doubtful, it tasted like the scallops were “aged”, which brought out the umami, but the sweetness was all gone.
Overall seasoning was flat, nothing recommendable.
We ordered the beef tartar and it was very salty and tasted like it was smothered in mayo. Very heavy tasting. We also ordered the churros which were just okay. The steak was under seasoned and the veggie on the side was very oily and bitter tasting. My pappardelle pasta was good but had the tiniest amount of crab, it was almost laughable for the price. Service was good, but I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.
We brought a 4-inch birthday cake for our party of six. Their “storage fee”? $6 per person – $36 to refrigerate a cake smaller than a dinner plate. This predatory pricing set the tone for the evening’s exploitation.
Service: the service here was a masterclass in neglect. Our waitress took drink orders 20 minutes after five of us arrived (one friend in traffic). Everyone’s wine appeared 20 minutes after the order was placed. My sparkling water? Vanished into the void. When our sixth guest arrived 25 minutes after our reservation time, her non-alcoholic drink was served in 10 minutes. Mine remained forgotten.
We sat for nearly an hour before anyone took our food order – not because we were slow, but because the skeleton crew couldn’t manage basic table coverage. It was impossible to make eye contact with our waitress as she spun frantically across the dining room. When I finally ordered food, I had to remind them about my sparkling water.
Another 30-40 minutes crawled by before four small appetizers and six entrees emerged. The pacing was so chaotic that a server tried removing our clean plates meant for entrees, mistaking our abandoned table for one already finished. He left our actual dirty appetizer plates behind…
Food: Cold, greasy, and confusing. The house-made focaccia bread was an oil slick. The seasonal vegetable plate arrived room temperature – clearly dying under non-existent heat lamps in their visible open kitchen (I watched plates languish on the counter for ages, when I was forced to spend forever waiting for my own food). When we flagged this, our server insisted it was “supposed to be room temperature,” then immediately took it back to reheat it. Pick a story.
My sea bass wore dark pools of aggressively sour sauce that obliterated the miso seasoning – fusion cuisine as friendly fire.
The only efficiency is when they served our bill. The check almost showed up instantly, complete with mandatory 20% gratuity. Of course, why rush service when the tip is guaranteed?
We paid $120+ each to leave hungry, frustrated, and certain this restaurant has neither standards for its food nor respect for its clearly overworked staff. If you’re charging fine-dining prices, deliver fine-dining execution – or at minimum, remember the water.
We loved – the open kitchen, that there aren’t many tables and they are spaced out, how cool the bathroom is, the service, the food, the drinks.
We didn’t love – that we were done with our meal
84 Yesler really know how to make eating an enjoyable experience.
Awesome food with a menu that actually feels seasonal. We’ll definitely come back.
Update: went again 04/06/2023 and it was just as amazing as our first visit. Go, you will *not* regret it! Update 2: ate here again 08/06/2025. We’ve never been disappointed with any meal here!
