Glowbal Grill and Satay Bar (in Vancouver)
"Come for the experience, not the food"
May 26, 2008 - Don't get me wrong, the food here is solid, but it's pretty traditional Pacific Northwest. The presentation is excellent but the quality doesn't live up to the appearance of the food (or the clientele). The service here is outstanding though and the ambiance is great. We were comp'ed some free appetizers and dessert for having to wait a little while for our entrees to come.

Enotria
"not good"
March 05, 2008 - I was looking forward to checking out a new restaurant in my neighborhood with lots of "I like it"s, but this was a big disappointment. Overpriced and under-good, it felt a lot like the previous occupant of this space, Union Bay Cafe. The Laurelhurst vibe is still in effect and we were the youngest people in here by 30 years (and we're not that young).
Our waiter was nice, but awkward. The appetizers were uninspired. My food was cold. They were kind enough to reheat and replate it (and also take an appetizer off the bill) but it really didn't make up for the general lack of polish on everything. If you're looking for romantic Italian meal, you'd be better off going across the street to Ciao Bella.

"good food, slow service"
August 14, 2007 - The food is quite tasty, but we had to wait a LONG time for it.

Tilth
"NO LONGER In my top 3"
May 14, 2007 - Our meal tonight just wasn't very good and it was definitely overpriced. There were a number of dishes that didn't quite taste right and our pork was COMPLETELY raw. I still think the food was interesting and tasty, but it's definitely dropped a good bit in my book.
Original review:
I've been to Tilth three times now and every one was great. The ingredients are fresh, the combinations intriguing, and the desserts wonderful. Overall, one of the best restaurants in Seattle.

Tavolata
"dog poo..."
May 14, 2007 - When we first entered Tavolata, I smelled something really bad. I looked over at my friend and said "do you smell that?" and he said "yeah, it's the smell of dog crap", which is exactly I was thinking. That was really off-putting.
The second thing that was really disturbing was the service. When we mentioned most of us were just going to get a past dish, our waitress said that wasn't they way they did things there and that we should order a couple of pastas and a couple of secondi to share. When we told her that wasn't what we wanted, she said that the kitchen couldn't handle that much pasta at once (huh?). Our waitress spilled water and wine all over the place. When one person in our party mentioned that her gnocchi were soupy, she asked whether she wanted a spoon instead of trying to correct the bad dish.
When my friend went to complain to the only person at all managerial looking, he got simply a "oh really?" in response.
Overall, I thought the food was actually pretty good, but due to the service and stench, I'm not sure that I'll be back.
