This is a cozy spot with great food and service. It is not a place for groups of more than two seating wise in the winter. The food is awesome. The drinks are creative and they treat mocktails with respect! The scallops with orzo were outstanding, cooked perfectly. The dumplings with mushrooms also a star of the meal. The foraged mushrooms on toast were also a highlight. The deviled egg was easily one of the best deviled eggs I've eaten. The garlic prawns were cooked perfectly and exactly as described. It's a great place to take a date but the dates filled with blue cheese wrapped in pancetta were not good. I've enjoyed similar dishes in the past but this one was unpleasant. It was difficult to figure out the exact cause but it could have been the cinnamon? Still perplexed by why this tasted so off. That was the only thing I wouldn't order again though!

Enjoyed a drink and tapas with a date here on a weekday, the place was pretty full but the service was amazing. We enjoyed the broccoli and goat cheese dishes, as well as a magical cucumber soda concoction. Can't wait to go back and explore the menu more, excellent atmosphere and selection!

Good tapas and drinks. Really cute space and great service. The baguette is some of the best bread I've ever eaten.

First of all, tapas are great. Had a meat platter which was good I liked the olives and bread that came with. Would get the Brocoli again because delicious salty pine nuts.

Nice place for small plates. Best time to visit is during happy hours. Staff is friendly and good is delicious. Drinks are bit expensive if not happy hour. Small place so on weekends be prepared to wait. It’s in Ballard so parking can be tricky. Nice place overall. Must try the shrimps.
