Palisade

This place is literally the best when it comes to food service location and view. Our server Justin was amazing very patient and knowledgeable on the wine and food. The desert was absolutely delicious. I’m happy me and my husband chose typhus place to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. We’ll be back !

I booked an early dinner for my birthday at Palisade, for my parents and I. The restaurant is a short drive north from downtown Seattle - and is in a way diverted from the main bustle of the city. There is also a large parking lot directly on-site, which was welcome.

The restaurant is charming, elegantly designed in a tiered, amphitheater sort of shape. Large bay windows seating is available on the far side of the restaurant with open views of a large dock on the sound. You'll mostly see watercraft parked in rows but it's nice to sit near the water and the shades are adjustable for the sun.

The service was quick, and the wait staff very polite. There's no need to dress up (many customers are not) but you will not be out of place in business casual either.

The food is really what shined: the seafood is excellent, tastes fresh, is seasoned perfectly and served at prices that are surprisingly more affordable than many high end restaurants. The portions are standard for other higher end places but the food was delicious. The appetizers were well worth ordering and the wine list is very robust and includes also affordable local WA state wines.

The environment was quiet, peaceful and enjoyable and the food truly won the day. They bring a complimentary slice of a coffee cake for birthdays. All in all we enjoyed it very much and will be back again.

Fantastic Friday evening dinner experience. Food, wine, and service were all excellent, as was the spectacular view of Elliott Bay on a beautiful summer evening. Was one of the first restaurant dinners we have partaken in since Washington state got back open for business. Being avid fans of Palisade for many years, we were thrilled to find "our restaurant" doing a spectacular job and making us feel right at home. Special thanks to General Manager Shawn, Hospitality Coordinator Morgan, Executive Chef Ren, and Sous Chef Elliott who all went the extra mile for us to make our evening very special. Our rib-eye steak main was fabulous, as were all the courses. Much appreciated!!

It is on the pricey side so you have been warn, but you can find the menu with prices on the website so you can determine if it's in your budget. But the food is super good and well displayed. The staff is attentive and the view is lovely. The boats on the bay add to the air of romance especially at sunset. Our food was perfect and the deserts were fantastic. A great place for a date or special occasion.
