I had dinner for my birthday with my cousin. It was a quiet Sunday and even though business was slow, the service and standards were held and I couldn’t be more elated from my experience. Thank you Pria for a wonderful evening. 🧚🏻‍♂️

Great find by AI when looking for allergy friendly restaurants in Seattle. Really made it work though the service was a little slow considering only 4 tables seated.

Really loved this restaurant! It seems like a bit of a hidden gem. We were in town for one night and had an exceptional meal. We had the tasting menu and were blown away by the food. The hamachi crudo with watermelon gazpacho was my personal favorite but the pork entree with morels and puréed potatoes and a bordelaise sauce was also fantastic. They have some great wines on the list but we’re not wine drinkers so we skipped that. The restaurant is small and beautiful. Great lighting, high ceilings, nice music and not too loud. Service was also very nice and the chef stopped by to say hello. I’d definitely recommend this to any foodie.
