About this place Surrell

Surrell is a small tasting-menu restaurant in a converted house on East Madison Street in Seattle's Madison Valley. The cooking is built around Pacific Northwest ingredients, with wine and non-alcoholic pairings offered alongside the set menu. It is a mainstream restaurant, listed as gay-friendly rather than as a gay venue. Prices are at the upper end (tier 3 of 4), and it is a book-ahead place rather than a drop-in. Reviewers tend to rate the chef's counter seats highest. If you have dietary restrictions, mention them when booking, since the menu is fixed. Capitol Hill, the city's gay district, is a short drive or bus ride west.

Surrell was an unforgettable dining experience. We enjoyed the 11-course tasting menu, and every course was beautifully presented, incredibly creative, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail and artistry in each dish made the entire meal feel special. I was the only vegetarian in our group, and I was so impressed with how thoughtfully they accommodated me. My vegetarian courses never felt like substitutions. They were creative, flavorful, and just as exciting as everyone else’s dishes. The service was warm, polished, and attentive from start to finish. If you’re looking for a truly memorable fine dining experience in Seattle, Surrell is absolutely worth it. A must if in Seattle

Each dish had some elements that were delicious but in general the combination didn’t work well for multiple courses. The non-alcoholic pairings had some hits and misses, but I appreciated the variety.

Unbelievably bad experience, my husband and mother in law here for her birthday and someone was having loud sex next door. When asked if we could move seats the waitress told me no and that there was nothing they could do. Food was ok.

My wife and I went for the fixed menu with wine pairing. We have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant. The greeting and the farewell were both very nicely done. Stunningly delicious, original and creative food. The vibe was excellent. Lots of very nice touches. A truly superb experience. I'm deliberately not saying too much nor adding too many photos, because I don't want to be a spoiler.
