Great place to try new and interesting plates – I went here on a Saturday night and got a table right away (granted, it was a little before 6 and we got the last open table, but it was nice to not wait at all). We ordered quite a few small plates, all of which were delicious, interesting, and perfectly cooked. The pate bruschetta was absolutely amazing, I am still dreaming about it. I had never even tried pate before but I'm glad that my first experience was here. The beef carpacchio was amazing, so light and tender. For des... read more

holy cow good! – truly one of the BEST meals i've had in seattle. the cook even changed one dish we ordered to accomodate my diet....and was happy to do so. our waitress was professional, a rare treat! a woman next to our table knocked over her glass of red wine...it splashed my new light gray sude shoes. the waitress was all over it and averted a shoe disaster. she offered to have the restaurant pay the cleaning bill AND she discounted our food bill. the waitress, the cook both went above and beyond to be sure we had a good... read more

Disappointment Extraordinaire. – I was so disappointed by this restaurant. I had read their website online and was actually excited to go and eat here. But once I arrived, I was definitely let down. My friend and I have traveled all over the US and eaten at great restaurants, but this place really just made the whole day horrible for us. The waitstaff was okay. The host that seated us was nice, but poorly informed as to what the best martini bar in town was, the busboy was really sweet and attended to us whenever we needed a... read more

don't believe the hype – It was special night for a friends birthday. Four people, very quiet, no cake, no candles but in the end it just didn't feel very special. The no reservation policy was troublesome but we were early in the evening and we squeezed in fairly quickly-w/in 45 minutes. The service was.......terrible, the waiter was just BAD and didn't seem to care. We tried to engage him and it never took A few of the dishes were quite good, a few were just okay. All in all I was very surprised at all the word of mouth su... read more

Good not great – We've been anxious to try this place, but had to plan it on a night we could get there before 6:00 to a wait. We got a table right away at 5:45 on a Sunday evening (all tables were full 15 minutes later). The service was efficient and pleasant, everyone smiled and greeted us when we arrived. The food was very good: Beef carpaccio was the best we've had; Beet salad was full of chopped golden beets and pistachios; Scallops were seared tender with no grit; and the gnocchi with short rib was decadent and delicio... read more

Don't waste your time or money! – The last three times have disappointed - and I can now say we are done with Tavolata. Our server had a horrible attitude, and couldn't have mastered the art of arrogance and disinterest any better if she tried (i think her name started with an S, not sure though). The Gnocchi was awful - I mean worse than Stauffers. Hockey Pucks in a dish with layers and layers of cheese. Looks like E. Stowell has been too focused on his empire while this place falls by the wayside. Bad food and bad service.... read more

Underwhelming and overpriced – My husband and I tried this place after reading good reviews in the local print press. Now we wish we'd researched this site first! We arrived shortly after their 5:00 pm. opening on a recent Friday night, and we were seated immediately. Service was good but not exceptional, and the food was uninspiring. The scallops with pigs' ears at $18 arrived with just two smallish specimens on the plate. I've dined in high and low places from New York's Daniel to street food in Thailand, and this was just... read more

?How to Cook a Wolf? more aptly named ?How NOT to run a Restaurant?. – My wife and I were immediately drawn to How to Cook a Wolf because of its reputation, its pedigree and of course its name from the moment we began seeing its restaurant reviews. We had our first dining experience at this Queen Anne, Seattle, WA establishment on a Saturday in October and arrived at 7:30 pm with the expectation of a lengthy wait (no reservations taken). Upon our arrival, we learned the wait would be between 1.5 and 2 hours. While surprised ... read more
