Arriving just at the end of happy hour, we opted to sit in a booth in the dining area. Our informed waitress suggested two red wine wines by the glass that were superb, as we sipped our wine we decided to share the spicy smoked octopus starter. Skillfully prepared, delicious and served with a side of shaved fennel and green... More

I rarely write about a dinner that isn't executed particularly well, but unfortunately we didn't fare well at this restaurant. You can be seated on time, have good service, and a nice ambience, but if even one of the dinners isn't executed properly, it spoils the entire experience.

An easy walk in South Lake Union brought us to re:public restaurant. The renewal of this area over the past two years is nothing less than astounding, and re:public is a restaurant that rewards the hungry with sensible portions of Italian food. My tagliatelle was topped with a ragu that was so full of simmered beef and tomatoes that it... More
