The cheese plate with fig jam , three types of international cheese , pears , and nuts . The side of fries are nice and crispy too! Romantic view of the wheel
The duo de canard au poivre vert (duo of duck entree) is really delicious, the green pepper cream sauce really makes the dish. There's an option to add foie gras to really make the dish over the top.
One of our go to places when we visit the Pikes Place Market for lunch or dinner . While not inexpensive , the quality of the food and service is very good. Great choice for French cuisine and wine .
Great view and good food. Expensive. Tried halibut , lamb , pork tenderloin , and duck confit and all were delicious. Pork tenderloin came with bone marrow and fries . Fries were overly salted though.
On sunny days—and especially later in the week—arrive right at 5 p.m., when happy hour starts, or just before, to make sure that you snag a deck table.
The oyster buckets are worth the price and wait time. Try and get a table near the windows for an oceanside view !
The city 's most romantic happy hour also offers a $2.95 appetizer list , including three buttery croissants with ham and cheese , steamed mussels and goat cheese and garlic mousse . 5-7 M-F, 8-10 Sat Read more
Came here for brunch with great view of the waterfront . Food is quite good too.
The manager discriminates and is dishonest. He denied myself and colleague open seats , then sat 2 Caucasian women who entered after us w/ no reservation . When confronted, he lied, then admitted to it
Great view of the bay , and their fish and chips are really good
The bartender , Neil, was fantastic. As was the cafe gourmand.
Igloos are back on the Patio beginning in October with a $150 min spend for reservation
Great Bloody Marys , amazing croissants ????!
Best $3 Mussels with a Million-Dollar View
Don't be fooled by the walk through the Pike Place Market on the way to Maximilien. Ask for Mike C. He is great! The events for special holidays are best. Read more
Watch the sunset over Puget Sound from the upstairs bar , only open Fri-Sat in summer. Get a cocktail and smoked salmon . Their outdoor deck is now always open in summer.
Great view , great foie gras .
The view from the deck is awesome and the 8 appetizers for $20 is pretty unbeatable (during happy hour ).
The view is amazing.
It's all about the deck in summertime.
The escargot is amazing!!!
Great pastries !
Found Croque Madame as Yum Yum. Try it and dish on it at http://dishonit.com Read more
Halibut and escargot
KILLER onion soup !
Stick to the cocktail menu for mixed drinks . The bartenders are shaky outside that repertoire.
Nice view but don't remember much about the food...
Go for happy hour and get all 8 appetizers for $20. Read more
Try the escargot with lots of bread
Worst service ever, the waitor only cared on the large parties to introduce specialsask if we wanted anything to drink. Had to practically grab him to get his attention.
No such thing as cheap appetizers . Greasy food and bland sauces. 6 krone burg for 15
The hangar steak and red wine reduction were great. The fries and aioli were FANTASTIC. Will be back to try appetizers for sure. - Weslie M.
This is the best and most authentic simple French food you'll ever get in Seattle and possibly the whole of the West Coast. - Beau Toxx
I really like Voila a lot. The staff (the maitre d' especially) is very attentive and knowledgable. The escargot and onglet are great, but the real star on the menu is the cassoulet (French shepherd's - Paul Ridge
Great place for local handmade goods and foods! Right by the water. Will take a few hours to explore! - _
Cute little spot, try the dry hopped cider if they have it on tap! - Michelle Anderson
