    Good food, but you’re mostly paying for the gorgeous view of the city. The seafood «tower» was not as large as I imagined it for the price, but it tasted really good ! Great portion size however for the halibut. Overall great experience for dinner, I recommend it if budget is not a concern.

    We came for Seattle restaurants week. They ran out of steaks and trio creme brulee dessert. We had to substitute for the salmon and regular creme brulee. We we're told that the service was slow due to the high volume. Dinner took 2.5hrs. Nice view.

    We choose Palisade for New Years eve celebration and Valentines. New years eve was pretty good beside lava cake wasn't lava but we did had a great time and enjoyed our water view. But we came at 5 PM which was early and we got a good service. However, Valentines felt totally opposite. They had exactly same pre-set menu beside dessert was different. We didn't got our requested window table even tho we were ready to wait and there were plenty available. They put us in the middle and we hardly could squeeze ourselves walking trough the tables. We saw in 2 minutes they put couple after us to window table. They didn't even respected our membership card that supposed to have "perks". Service felt very rushed and we didn't enjoyed cold dishes. Also steak didn't had any sauces to it and was very dry and cheewy. Overall felt like factory in and out vibe. We wanted to leave as soon as possible.

    Absolutely beautiful and romantic and elegant and just everything! LOVED EVERYTHING AND THE FOOD! Hard to find but definitely worth it so give yourself extra time to find it without missing your reservation. It is pricey and again so worth it.

    I've had seafood at many places, and the food at Palisade was absolutely divine. My party and I booked a table for three, and they offered us a table at the bar as we arrived quite early for our reservation. The drinks were wonderful. I recommend the lavender cosmo. The atmosphere was just beautiful, with the lovely pond in the middle of the establishment, the soft lighting, and the gorgeous harbor view, it was quite a spectacle. The lobster tanks were in the front of the restaurant so you can see them before you order, as well. Our wait staff was very professional and polite. They were training a new person, and he was very gracious with his service even as he followed his superior around. They often roamed the tables to check if any of us needed anything, and they were very present at all times, which is a fairly rare thing to see nowadays, I feel. The food was next-level. I feel like the only lobster I've had to top this one was at five-star restaurants in the Bahamas. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. Their steak was amazing, wonderful in its simplicity. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the yellow sauce they served with them is truly what brought out their flavor. Not overpowering, but very tasty and complementary to the dish. One of our party was celebrating his birthday, and they brought out a wonderful coffee cake for free that was very light and tasty, the perfect finish to such a dinner. Overall, a 5-star experience that won't break your bank. We will definitely be back!

    Food: huge, fresh shrimp, moist salmon, and smoky, grilled scallops, plus an interesting mix of seasonal veggies (Brussels plus radish recently). Serene view of the boat docks. Top-notch service. Dated but clean dining area. Plenty of parking. A gem away from downtown.

    My fiance and I flew all the way from Dallas to plan our birthday lunch over here and drive to Vancouver after. I must say that this place didn't disappoint. It took our breath away the moment we walked in. The view from our table was amazing! The food was really delicious and satisfying. The service staff were all friendly and engaging. I highly recommend this place!

    Wonderful food and ambiance. This was our first time here. It is very romantic with dimmed lights 🧡💛 We had a table next to the window with the nice view of the water and boats. Service was great and each course takes time so you don't feel rushed and can fully enjoy your meal. Everything was absolutely perfect. Coming back for sure!

    Palisades is a go-to restaurant where the ambiance is spectacular and the service is great. There is a huge bar, lots of seating for dining and the view is unparalleled!! I personally believe the scenery looking eastward is second- to- none concerning the Seattle city skyline. My opinion... here you can celebrate any special occasion, date night, drinks with friends, or simply because you deserve all this special restaurant has to offer. You will love it here!

    Upscale buffet with lots of seafood, a chocolate fountain, great breakfast, and lunch mains. If you're looking for gluten free I wouldn't recommend but if you're keto there's lots of options. Service was good and the views are lovely. You can see the boats in the marina and Mt Rainier on a clear day. Inside is a bit dated but otherwise nice.

    Fiancé and I came to Palisade for date night and had a lovely experience! Service was good, but left some room for improvement. the food was excellent, scallops are highly recommended! It was our anniversary so they left a card on the table for us and brought us a crème brûlée, we did not know we were getting a dessert so we had ordered the cheesecake on our own. Both desserts were decent but not my favorite. If you can catch a sunset meal you’ll get a great view over the harbor. Overall we really enjoyed our experience here and will come back for future dinners.

    Palisade is a wonderful restaurant for dinner with a great view of Elliot Bay. We enjoyed the delectable crab dip for an appetizer, absolutely delicious seafood for dinner, and wonderful drinks. The wine selection is absolutely extensive and amazing. The kids' menu is an awesome deal. I was amazed at how much food my child got for under $10, and it was so good! Out server was very attentive, and the ambiance is nice and spacious! The only downside was that it was an especially hot day in Seattle. Even with the A/C on, it was pretty warm and uncomfortable inside the restaurant.

    The views are incredible. On a clear day you can gaze upon the majestic Mt Rainier and wish you had one of the boats below. The longer you stay at the Palisade, the bigger and more sophisticated words you start using - like "exquisite" - to describe all things in your life. But we all know it's just a front. Tears. Food was great but not exceptional. I'm grading this based on the restaurant being a fine dining establishment. I had the lamb and it was perfectly cooked but way too salty. Big portion sizes. Drinks were great. Creme brulee was good. I will probably come back and try more seafood stuff.

    My wife and I went Saturday night for our birthday dinner, first time coming here. We found parking right by the front entrance and waited a short time before being seated at our table. Fantastic view of Elliot Bay with the downtown skyline in the background. For our appetizer we ordered the lobster and crab dip, very delicious. For entrees, my wife ordered the rank of lamb dish (she scarved it down, remarked it was some of the best lamb she's ever had) and I ordered the grilled seafood trio, which consisted of salmon, shrimp and scallops! We added the Beecher's Mac and Cheese with lobster as a side dish. Everything was grilled perfectly and the scallops were AMAZING! Only disappointment was the Beecher's mac n cheese, not really much lobster in it and wasn't as creamy as I was hoping. For dessert we got the key lime pie but was also surprised by our waiter by two creme bulee for our birthdays! Would totally recommend this place for a special dinner or just a nice date night!

    Or group of 4 had a really great meal. The prime rib was so tender it melted in my mouth. Fig salad was really a Different gig salad, glazed figs with a rely good dressing, very light and refreshing. Excellent view of the marina and the water, sunset tonight was beautiful. Very first date worthy.

    Beautiful views of downtown and marina. A more traditional seafood restaurant. Great service and drinks. Food was excellent. I was hoping the king crab legs were going to be bigger, but they tasted so good it was worth it. Get the crab cakes and crab and lobster dip. They were the highlight.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. This visit was average. The hostess and the food were pretty mediocre.

  • 5/5 Deirdre W. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been here before but tonight was one of the best meals I have ever had! Well worth the $

  • 5/5 J M. 3 years ago on Google
    The view was beautiful and the food was fantastic! I had the salmon, the asparagus puree was so-so but the fish and side salad were spot on.

  • 3/5 Jill 4 years ago on Google
    Experience was odd, which is reason for lower rating. It was for Thanksgiving buffet. The staff was very, very nice & did the best they could, I think. It seemed as if it wasn't very organized. The food was pretty good, but nearly everything had a sign, without enough information (in my opinion) as to what it was, as it seemed to mostly identify if 'vegan' or 'gluten free', & not what it was (vegetables?, salad?, stuffing?, flavors?, ingredients?). Things that should've been served hot didn't have a chance to even remain warm as the warming bins were constantly open due to the line of diners. Beautiful view, but unable to relax & enjoy as (although no one said or behaved as if we needed to hurry) it was 45 minutes to visit the buffet, & that included time to eat (as there were about 3 different 'areas' to 'visit' in buffet 'lines' which I didn't think this place was designed for, which caused a lot of confusion). Plates, silverware, were being washed as quickly as possible. Not my choice. The prime rib & the chocolate fountain were nice & fun. I was misled by being told that it was a 'traditional Thanksgiving dinner', & that led me to have certain expectations that weren't met. I wouldn't go there for a 'buffet' meal. I would give them another try, for a regular meal. The Thanksgiving 'experience' @least showed that the staff were very friendly, kind, patient & doing the best they could (without showing how stressful it was for them, which isn't easy to do) on a very busy holiday.

    Once you walk in the restaurant, the atmosphere is amazing. The seatings a perfect because of the view. If you aren't seated next to the windows then you have a waterfall scenery in the main area. The waiters are friendly and the tables aren't so cramped. The food is amazing and the place is clean... i mean clean :) Great job!!

  • 1/5 saed a. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is nothing like what it use to be..run down and getting old..too expensive for the atmosphere..limited menus and way overpriced..for the price and the quality of food you better go somewhere else for a special occasion...the same furniture and paint since they opened 25+ years ago.

  • 1/5 Lissa the g. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was nasty and burnt...bad customer service wouldn’t recommend to anyone. And if you do go don’t get the burger and fries and expect a long time to wait for you food. Only thing good is their drinks.

  • 5/5 Jason R. W. 4 years ago on Google
    It's actually surprising how good Palisade is, given how long it's been here. While it might be a notch below Canlis overall, it is a perfect Seattle celebration place. And they do know their way around seafood. The salmon in my recent visit was cooked perfectly, and I don't always say that. Service, check. View, check. If you have a fond memory of Palisade from, say, 20 years ago, you owe yourself a return visit.

  • 5/5 Sope O. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is a fantastic place. The food was delicious. Let's talk about the ambiance at this place, or the piano that played all night without anyone drumming on the keys (i have never seen that before). The man that attended to us was so professional, sweet and lovely at the same time. He paid attention to every single detail (from putting our napkins on our legs, to remembering I didn't want ice in my water when he came back to top it up a couple of times. I could go on and on). Our party of 6 was well attended to, we didn't have to ask he catered to every of our needs. Even when we were filled up we still got some dessert on the house in to go boxes. We had an amazing experience at the PALISADE RESTAURANT.

  • 4/5 Tina D. 4 years ago on Google
    They never disappoint. The food is amazing, drinks are fabulous and wait staff are very helpful. The hostesses are not as friendly as they should be however once you get seated it gets better.

  • 5/5 Quinten C. 3 years ago on Google
    If you want quality food with a spectacular view and don't mind spending a little extra this is the place for you! Very well organized in the post Covid era of dinning. Be warned they are working with a limited menu as they're continuing to open back up! I was really bummed to see the king crab legs not on the temporary menu but was pleasantly surprised when out waiter said it was available! Great place to plan a make up or break up and everything in-between!

  • 2/5 Brandon K. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic appitizers. Service is terrible. Servers never checked in. I was charged for an extra item. Disappointed, especially for the price... Beautiful view though, saves it from one star.

  • 1/5 Hannah C. 3 years ago on Google
    My SO and I came here for his birthday and we were very underwhelmed. To begin with, our server did not give us silverware, water, bread, or napkins. After dropping off our food, he never came back to check in on us. I asked for my steak medium well and it was well done to a crisp. We only received our check by asking another server. They charged us for an additional drink and did not apologize. For the price, the service was very very poor And disappointing. We will not be coming back.

  • 4/5 Roydyn C. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best views from a restaurant in the city. We always get oysters and king crab legs so I can't comment much about the rest of the menu.

  • 1/5 Grant N. 3 years ago on Google
    Our first evening out in months without the kids and I regret choosing Palisade for date night with my wife. The pork belly appetizer was cold in the middle, very disturbing considering how dangerous it is to undercook pork. We both got sea scallop entrees and both plates of scallops were too chewy and had a strong chemical taste like they either went bad or were washed with cleaning product. The vegetables did not taste fresh. My old fashioned cocktail tasted like a dive bar cocktail. About the only good things were the bread and the view. Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen? After politely returning the appetizer and entrees we weren’t even visited by a manager. Frankly, there are too many other great restaurants in Seattle to give this one a second chance.

  • 4/5 M B. 3 years ago on Google
    Never disappoints. We had amazing entrees after reopening. Server was attentive but not too overbearing. I suggest coming on a sunny day to really enjoy the view. Bathrooms need a remodel. Very outdated.

    Palisade is an absolutte Great Place for Lunch or Dinner. Our kids got to feed the fish in the entry area pond, and that was a nice touch. Very nice kid menu too. Hand written & signed table card & anniversary treat at the end was very nice touches. Highly reccomended place.

    Palisade is one of well-known fancy restaurants in Seattle. The location is very ideal for such an awesome date and outing afterward as it is located in front of Elliott Bay Marina. It is somewhat expensive so if your budget is tight but still want to try out, I recommend you to visit during lunch hour because the price goes up significantly for dinner menu. I went for lunch with my family in a beautiful Seattle sunny weather. I made a reservation via OpenTable app and specifically asked for a table by window to be able to enjoy a great water view. Definitely worth it! We ordered Palisade prix fixe lunch with a Chef's feature seasonal entree and Dungeness crab & lobster bisque. The chef's entree was Mahi Mahi which is available limited time. Bisque was amazing and Mahi Mahi was very soft, tender, and juicy with full of flavor. A bread serving with the entree was OK - they put too much salt on butter, so I had to ask for the butter without the salt. A plenty of parking space is available in front of the restaurant. More importantly, it is FREE as long as you dine in there.

    Last night we had dinner (Feb. 1). Filet mignon, au gratin potatoes and asparagus. Delicious except for over-salted meat and potatoes. Really bad. .

  • 5/5 Lori U. 4 years ago on Google
    My favorite brunch buffet with bottomless mimosas in all of the PNW. Tables and tables of breakfast food, entree's with sides, salads, meat and cheese board and a huge dessert bar. They make very best eggs benedict cooked to order with the buffet. Absolutely beautiful view while enjoy all the amazing food. Well worth the price!

    Glad to see this place is still open. A very special restaurant for my parents. Their very favorite for special times. This was going to be the place they came to after my Dad beat his cancer. Sadly it was not to happen. We have moved across the US and now live on the East coast. Palisade keep making special memories for others.

  • 5/5 Nadia M. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant was simply amazing. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. You get to eat with a beautiful view of the marina and might catch to sailing as well. It is definitely on the expensive side but for me, it was worth it!

  • 3/5 Jonathon P. 3 years ago on Google
    Been here probably five times and every time has been great service and better food except this last time. The waitress must have forgotten we were here because after we got our water and appetizer, she vanished for 45 minutes. Otherwise, great restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for great food and drinks. Edit: I made this review during my recent visit, before our meals were presented. My wife and I both got the Wagyu Top Sirloin Medium. It came out medium well and burnt. Very tough. My wife couldn’t finish hers because her jaw was sore from the steak. My son got the salmon and it was extremely salty. Moved to three stars. Would recommend staying away until new staff cycle through or some sort of QA is implemented in food and staff.

  • 1/5 Brian W. 3 years ago on Google
    After dining here for over 20 years now, the service has really gone down hill. The food is still good but they have a very limited menu. A 8pm $200 dinner for two gets you some other tables attentive server showing up 20 minutes later with your appetizer, then after that your waitress finally brings the bread basket and water, then 20 minutes later before you can even finish eating the waitress tries to rush you to finish so they can clear your table. My bill had a beer billed to me that was from another table. Even worse, I took my bill to the front desk because I have never received this bad of service elsewhere let alone at restaurant of this caliber and both the waitress and manager vanished into the back room. After 5-10 minutes we left and we won't be back. If you bother to eat here just take the poor service out of the tip and be prepared to pay with cash. This place is not what it used to be and good Lord if it ever will be again because the staff simply does not care.

    Drinks took awhile to get, the chef's special that night was tough and uncooked. A lot of things to improve for this restaurant to survive the pandemic.

  • 4/5 Matt 3 years ago on Google
    A very good restaurant with amazing views. Took my wife here for her birthday and we really enjoyed it. The seafood pasta had a lot of delicious seafood in it, the pasta itself was bland but still pretty decent. The service and ambience were excellent! The prices seems a little on the high side but mostly fair. Very good experience.

    The server was excellent but the food wasn’t really worth the price. Needed more seasoning. Didn’t taste any crab in the bucatini. The chicken was thin. Only 4 stars for the server and view.

    Incredible view, absolutely amazing food, such a lovely variety that will surely be suitable for all ages/preferences.

  • 5/5 Spacey V. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful views. 180 degrees of windows. Food is a little expensive but the view and room ambience 10/10. They have lobsters in the tank that you eat. Fresh. They also have a fish pond inside with a bridge that crosses over it. So you walk across that to your table. Very pretty. We went on valentine's day they had a set menu for 2 people 5 course for 120$ very good deal. What you see in pictures came with the meal. Not the oysters though we added that on. Staff was very friendly opened the front door for us. Took care of us Did not rush us. Made our valentine's very nice. I just wish someone could have taken our picture. The views are very pretty!!! Just wish we had a photo to capture us in it.

  • 5/5 Sandor W. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely outstanding. My girlfriend and I were treated like royalty. We were sat at an excellent table with the best view. Our waitstaff was as good as it gets. The manager(s) came by to check in and make sure our experience was top notch, and they were so friendly. The food was incredible (cod, and salmon). The drinks were fantastic. I could go on, folks, but seriously if you haven't been there at all, or in a while, it's a truly wonderful experience. Thanks to the whole staff at Palisade for treating us so well. Cheers!

    So glad to know dine in is again available. I love the view from this restaurant. Nice selection of wines and dishes even though it’s reduced from pre-Covid days.

    If you're coming here for a special occasion, I'd think twice. Beautiful view, food sounds great, but very underwhelming. To begin with, we had a few cocktails of course. I had the Old Fashioned and my partner had the Lemon Drop. Sorry to say they were the worst cocktails we've ever had from a fine dining establishment, they tasted as if served out of a dive bar with the most basic flavor profile of "alcohol and mixer". We wanted to send them back and stick to just water after tasting, but didn't want to make a fuss. Started with the crab cakes, which were honestly the only pleasant part of the evening aside from my company. Followed by the Lobster Bisque soup we each ordered, yet only one bowl was brought to the table, and with no spoons currently existing nor brought with the soup, we attempted to flag someone down for our missing bowl and spoons. By the time spoons did arrive with the missing bowl, one of us had to eat room temperature soup which, then, was really disappointing. Next up our entree. We each ordered medium rare filet mignon with prawns, mashed potatoes and asparagus. We love med rare steak, even medium, but not blue - both steaks were undercooked. I then also had to get up to go to the kitchen and ask for salt and pepper, because our bland mashed potatoes absolutely needed it, and of course I didn't want to spend another 15 minutes waiting and letting dinner get cold. Once seasoned, potatoes were good and asparagus good as well. To finish the evening, molten chocolate cake with ice cream. One of our favorite desserts! Except, as we begin to eat this... where's the molten? The cake is either completely undercooked or overcooked, as the inside was just a firm chocolate sponge. Maybe we're too spoiled from places like El Gaucho, The Met, etc., but we were sorely disappointed with literally the entire experience, and just expected a much better dining quality. Staff was friendly, view was gorgeous. Come for the view, but nothing else.

    Great service, ambiance, and a fantastic view! I enjoyed the oysters, but the crab stuffed shrimp were greasy and the sides had too much butter. For the price point, I expected better food.

    Had a great dining experience. Sean(spelling?) Was an incredible server, made us laugh and went above and beyond for service. One note, wish we could have had espresso at the end of our meal. Not enough to make me drop a star though. Started with lobster/crab dip, both got filets.

    Not another overpriced just because its by the water or some scenic location. The food is legit amazing here. This place was perfect for a suprise dinner night. Even the entrance was a fun experience. We had reservations and were seated fairly quick. I was pretty much wowed from the entrance to the seats. The view from where we sat was really nice. We could see the marina, downtown, and an overall nice view of the sound in that area. We made it just before the sunset. Most of the food was seafood with a bit of asian inspiration. I ordered the crab stuffed lobster with some grain whos name I cant rememer. I do however remember that ever bit was savored. Im glad I chose this, but I have a feeling the other dishes would have been amazing as well. The most interesting part of the meal was the appetizer. I ordered kungpao calamari. Never knew that even existed. It was forsure the best calamari I've ever eaten. The fried breading did however start to get soggy over time to the point where i ended up not finishing the final bits. It was such a good portion I wasnt mad as I still needed room for my main course. Which wasnt a large portion by any means. In order to even get to our seats we had to walk over a cool bridge like walk way that is over water. Kind of a large pond. Very cool. The main space is very open and designed in a way where pretty much every seat has a good view. Windows pretty much from floor to dome/ceiling. Its hard to explain without seeing it, but the dome ceiling curves up pretty high. Very cool interior design. From what I could tell every group inside was enjoying themselves and off in their own world.

    Visited on Christmas Day and had a very lovely dinner. First impressions, the restaurant has a romantic and cozy atmosphere. The view of both the water and city is oh so pretty! The food was good, particularly enjoyed the lobster bisque and the seafood trio. Their desserts are also really yummy, both the chocolate cake and their creme brulee were the perfect finish to our meal. Would come again!

    The service from Jordan was top notch. He definitely made our family outing for a birthday really enjoyable. He brought out the birthday girl a dessert, wished her happy birthday, and was just friendly to talk to. I did not get many photos just because we were all talking and enjoying the meals. Since I'm allergic to seafood, I ended up getting the chicken just because steaks from places like this I never really enjoy 100%. I got the smoked old fashioned for my beverage. This is where they bring a smoker to the table and light it to let it infuse. This was very nice and the drink was very well made. I would suggest anyone who orders it to ask them to double or triple smoke it or make sure they load the bowl up with more. I would also suggest that they leave the lid or the smoking device on the glass for longer if you like your whiskey with a strong smoke taste. That was really my only complaint and the drink was still good. Yes, this place is fairly expensive. It does provide a higher service and food quality to match that. Also, the view out the windows is amazing. I will say driving there does suck a little bit because at certain points there's no actual signs or things tell me where to go and you almost feel like when you make the last turn you go from like a ghetto to ritzy million dollar homes out of the blue where this restaurant is at. I just found that really odd.

    Great location with great views. Parking is ample and reservations are recommended. Came for dinner and the service was very attentive. The food was tasty and the seafood fresh. Great for special occasions or just because for a nice night out. The drinks were also good and I would suggest the molten chocolate cake for dessert. Check it out for weekend brunch, it is an experience with a great Seattle view.

    Palisade is my favorite restaurant while in Seattle! The view of Mount Rainier and Elliott bay sets an amazing scenery for your meal. Thanksgiving dinner was Terrific as well as the impeccable service provided by all staff encountered. All dishes and cocktails were delicious and prepared to our liking. Thank You for making our holiday meal away from home memorable.

    Great service, an amazing view, and good food. The only reason I removed one star is that I was not satisfied with the king crab I ordered. It was the most expensive dish we ordered tonight (priced at $120), so my expectations were high. However, it didn't taste good as my expectation, and it even was as good as the crab I purchased from Costco. On the other hand, all the other dishes were amazing - the black cod, the noodles, everything was great!

    Between the skyline of downtown Seattle to the amazing food, Palisade is the restaurant to check out while in Seattle. I felt like I was watching the opening sequence of the show Frazier while I was enjoying my Alaska King Crab. It’s a little bit of a drive but so worth it.

    The view is obviously central to the experience and ambiance, but the restaurant itself is wonderfully elegant. All this would be for naught if the food didn't live up to its fabulous setting, but thankfully, it absolutely does. We enjoyed filet mignon, scampi, halibut, and for dessert, cremè brule, and chocolate lava cake with very good coffee. Our server was excellent, and though we were the last reservation of the day, everyone was still on their A game!

    I really don’t want to sound way too dramatic all the time, but this is legitimately THE BEST RESTAURANT I’ve ever been to. 👍The shrimp & crab carbonara 👍 Shrimp tempura sushi role 👍Dirty martini 👍literally everything The main course that I had (Shrimp carbonara) was absolutely amazing with various combinations, I didn’t know I liked seafood that much until then. It’s really easy to mess up a carbonara ( especially in the US) but they did a absolutely amazing job, the sauce was just the perfect texture and amount, you could taste that creamy buttery sauce and the shrimp at the same time. It was a very satisfying dish, it was so good that would make you want to lick the plate ( not kidding ) And our server Thomas was very sweet and friendly, he took a very good care of us without making people feel intimidated. Definitely worth a visit!
