The Scene – With butter-yellow walls, fresh flowers and bold art, Chef Thierry Rautureau's Madison Park institution is like a French country inn tucked away in the city. The staff knows service and courses arrive well paced; plan a whole evening to fully enjoy the prix-fixe menu. – – The Food – The parade of artful dishes begins with delicate flavors and builds to bolder tastes. Although the menu changes daily, one classic first course is an herbed scrambled egg served in the shell with lime creme fraiche and caviar. A spice-infused pinot noir sorbet cleanses the…

Some of the best food and wine in Seattle

by Noma

We've gone to Rovers for both brunch and dinner and in both cases were blown away. Without a doubt the best brunch in Seattle, handily beating out Tilth, which was our previous favorite.

For dinner, we had a fantastic meal, where everything was perfectly cooked, including the best lamb I have ever had. Across the board, ingredient quality was exceptional and everything was perfectly cooked. They also went above and beyond on the wine service, being generous both on the amount and the quality of the wine poured.

  • Pros: Amazing food and wine
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Amazing place

by sunifyre

Brilliant, brilliant food! 'Nuff said. Ambiance/service == a 3 star Michelin restaurant without the stuffiness. Definitely my new favorite restaurant in Seattle. The best part was talking to the chef in the hat at the end of our meal. He was so funny and cool!

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: None

Unparalleled Dining Experience

by koi29

Rover's is an amazing restaurant. We visited on a weekday night. The tasting menus are expensive, but everything is available a la carte, so if you don't want to splurge, you don't have to. This restaurant IS expensive, but you have to expect that from a fine dining joint. White table cloths, polished/super sophisticated service, orchestrated dining... that all comes with a price! The plates are gorgeous, delicious, and leave you wanting more, and then voila! the next course arrives!!! There isn't any other restaurant in Seattle that serves food at this caliber. Appetizer, entree and dessert, isn't really how Rover's works, but it was a welcome change! This place is for people who know how to dine and have a sense of adventure!

  • Pros: Local food, great wine list, unpretentious staff
  • Cons: none
