Rover's Restaurant

Fine dining in Seattle. What a great dining experience. From when we walked in the front door to when we left the service was knowledgeable, professional and attentive. They knew so much about the food and wine and had fun doing it. Unique food is why I go out to eat and Rover's uses great ingredients, much of it locally sourced and skillfully prepares them. We had fresh uni with citrus, rabbit kydneys with poached quail egg and oysters with caviar, scallop carpaccio and housed-cured speck. They did foie gras two ways. One a velvet mousse, the other seared with a savory profiterole and chai tea foam. WOW! Braised pork belly was served with salsify and an excellent bourbon sauce. Durade was paired with brightly flavored cabbage and cod with sunchokes and thin crisps of fingerling potatoes. The main course was rabbit, the leg crisped, yet succulent and a roulade that was rich and velvety. Dessert was a beautifully textured cake with house-made ice cream and citrus. We often do wine pairings, but today we ordered from their extensive wine list. Both the sommelier and waiter helped us find a beautifull half bottle of Vouvray and a full bottle of red Burgundy to compliment our dinner. Of course a glass of Champagne to start, Sauternes with the seared foie gras and a late-harvest Chenin Blanc with dessert rounded out the drinking part of dinner. Thank you Chef Thierry for Rover's! Can't wait to return.…

Some of the best food and wine in Seattle. 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.…

Amazing place. 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!…

Unparalleled Dining Experience. 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!…
