Editorial Review for Palisade – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The menu is both familiar and semi-exotic, but everyone feels welcome at Palisade, from grandmas to businessmen. Views from the dining room are stunning; outdoor seating is worth its price in gold on sunny evenings. Fun Polynesian flavors accent the menu and tables are almost always full. Choices include a cedar plank heaped with buttery king crab legs and colossal white prawns, along with crab cakes and an assortment of pupu platter appetizers.

You pay for the view at Palisade, not the food quality. Once again I see it as a chef who cares more about being fancy than putting out the best meal. Most chefs I know are not into it for the diner, they are into their own egos. Don't get me wrong it is a great place to impress a date and you won't walk in the door without dropping a couple hundred dollars (not including drinks) But if you want food quality and better prices go to Scotts in Edmonds. It is more upscale than your regular bar and grill and it is owned by the same company. I had the halibut cheeks at both and like the Scott's version far better. The portions were larger and the price much cheaper. At Palisade the halibut cheeks had three different sauces on three tiny slices of breaded fish. Quite simply it was trying too hard. In my last two visits I have sent food back. If you are taking a date I recommend they order the Australian Rock lobster it is expensive but they ahve yet to screw it up. Choke down your meal while they are impressed by the slight of hand which is the service and view. Service was good when it was there but they have gone to wearing earpieces which make me think that either they are secret service in disquise or they take refiulling my water far too seriously. With all the communication gear you would think that everything would have gone faster, but alas no. I am never quick to judge and wouldn't write a bad review after a bad dinner. One bad mean, maybe you are off your game, at two, maybe it is just me, three and it is you, I am done with throwing my money into the Palisade hole.
Pros: View and Ambience. If you can get a reservation for just before sunset it will impress if yo uare snobby, this is your place
Cons: Way overpriced for the service and food quality. The marina detracts from the view.

Many people I know consider this to be their favorite Seattle restaurant. My wife and I have been there a handful of times, and have always come out thinking it's just OK. Their service is solid, but that's what I expect from an expensive restaurant. I've never left thinking the food was unbelievably good - only that it was OK considering how much I paid. It's a nice dining experience considering how much everything costs, but don't expect too much from the food - nothing special.
