The food was really disappointing. Everything we ate was lacking salt and bland. I almost couldn’t get through the squash pasta because it was just plain unseasoned squash purée, tasted like baby food. The top layer had a bit more flavor with some Parmesan and balsamic but still just really bland. The cabbage had good texture and decent char but again needed more salt and/or miso, it was just severely underseasoned. I asked for salt and pepper for the pasta, they gave the tiniest half teaspoon of each and it wasn’t close to enough the fix the dish and make it edible. My mocktail wasn’t good either, they put way too much lime clearly just lacking skill, it was so puckering. The only good item was the cheesecake but it was so tiny, literally a two bite dessert but priced like a full slice.

Even more disappointing was the price relative to the quality of food. I am happy to pay for interesting, well made, flavorful food but for this meal it was over $100 per person for half a veg app, 1 pasta, half a mini dessert, and one drink. Note they add a 22% service charge.

The service was good and ambiance was decent so giving 2 stars for that, but I really wouldn’t return under any circumstances.

I’m never one for absolutes, but Vendemmia has the best tasting menu in Seattle. From portion sizes to variety to to-go boxes packed in between courses; we struck a goldmine.

We tried booking for Valentine’s, and even a month beforehand we found ourselves stonewalled. Bookings are likely not as competitive during non- Holiday season.

From protein to veggies drizzled in white chocolate to wagyu, each course beautifully complimented the other. They are portioned to perfection- we never felt too stuffed nor in need of a supplement.

As a wine snob, I was impressed. I don’t even like Chardonnay, but I liked their pairing.

Happy Dining to all!

Food was just okay, but definitely not worth the price. On top of the already expensive a la carte price, the surcharge is insane. 22% service charge added to all orders. If I knew that prior I wouldn’t have chose this restaurant. And I think that could partially explain the empty restaurant. While other highly rated restaurants in the city were packed, this only had two or three parties dining.

$32 for 6 oysters? in this economy??
used to be a regular here because the food and service were consistently great. However, I was disappointed to find they now automatically add a 22% gratuity to the bill. While I’m happy to tip for good service, forcing such a high percentage is a poor business practice—especially on top of already premium prices. Out of principle, I won’t be returning until their policy changes.

The food was definitely very incredible and the service was top notch. I love the vibe of the place. It was very classy and modern and I heard that the chef’s wife is a baker so the desserts were fantastic. Would revisit this charming italian restaurant!

Had a belated birthday dinner here last night. What a treat! First time dining here and was not disappointed. Such a genuine warm greeting and very attentive service. Tasty unique cocktails, delicious pastas, snap pea and crab salad, and halibut. Such an enjoyable evening. I’ll be back soon. Thank you!

We tried out Vendemmia with friends on a chilly Thursday night. It was easy to make a reservation online and it was busy when we showed up. Service throughout our meal was fast and very helpful – our waiter had great suggestions and comments. The recommended bottle of wine we grabbed was delicious specifically. All of the dishes we received were similarly tasty, with a great mix of New American style appetizers and pasta dishes. Absolutely would come back!

It was a busy Saturday early evening. We ordered several dishes for the group to share. The food was delicious. We waited for the dishes to come out longer than expected but they were worth the wait. The pastas were surprisingly good. We wish the portion size could be bigger so we ordered extra for the group!

I almost never leave reviews unless I’m blown away or genuinely horrified-unfortunately, Vendemmia is firmly the latter.
This was a Valentine’s Day reservation booked over a month in advance for the Chef’s Fixed Menu, with all the pricing and expectations that come with a special-occasion dinner. What we got instead was awkward, underwhelming, and wildly overpriced.
Despite the main dining room being nearly empty when we arrived (and still just as empty when we left), we were seated in what felt like a converted back room—six tables crammed together, zero ambiance, and our table jutting directly into the pathway. The entire night consisted of awkward eye contact with people waiting in line for the restroom. To make it even stranger, Taylor Swift was playing in the background, which felt wildly out of place for a supposedly romantic, upscale Valentine’s Day dinner.
The four-course “Chef’s Fixed Menu” sounds filling on paper. In reality, it was shockingly sparse. Appetizers were two bites each. The pasta course was tiny. The
“mains” were almost laughable: two scallops floating in sauce, followed by the wagyu-three paper-thin slices of beef on yet another plate of sauce with a bit of cabbage. The flavor was fine, but the steak arrived lukewarm and was gone within seconds. For context, my partner is currently tracking calories for a bodybuilding show. After the first three courses, we estimated we’d consumed about 350 calories each—far less than what most people expect from a single meal, let alone multiple courses at this price point. We were so disappointed that we didn’t even stay for dessert and lett hungry.
For the cost, this experience was indefensible: cramped seating, no atmosphere, tiny portions, food that wasn’t even hot, and a dining room inexplicably left empty while guests were shoved into a back hallway.
Valentine’s Day dinner should feel special-this felt like an expensive mistake.

很好!Had a great time. Great for a nice night out with friends out for date night. Drinks were very enjoyable and went well with the handmade pastas.

Dishes had a lot of care and I enjoyed the American-Italian style for a laid back but very well put together dinner. One of those places you keep coming back to.
