What People Are Saying About Black Bottle

The Scene
Dangling light bulbs, exposed brick walls and simple wooden tables set the mood of a chic, minimalist art bar. The overall vibe is dark and upscale minus the steep prices. The small rectangular room is far from cold though, as savory mini-platters and ample cocktails fuel a high spirited and talkative crowd. A sharp-looking waitstaff quickly tends to your every need.

The Food
Appetizers are often the best things on a menu, and this "gastro-tavern" serves nothing but, with each plate large enough to share with a group of four. The superb food matches the surroundings, highlighting essential ingredients with accents of dramatic seasoning. Curried potatoes pack a peppery punch. Plump grilled sardines shimmer in Portuguese seasoning, while steak with Japanese radish make an unusual but satisfying pair. Of the crispy flatbreads, the prosciutto and bechamel is a favorite. And here's the topper: All dishes are affordably priced.

The food is good but this place is usually packed and impossible to hold a conversation in w/o yelling. Also, the outside seating is horrible. There's nothing between you and the street - not even a divider.

This is one of my new favorite restaurants! Can't say enough about the food (served family style which is great for groups of four or an intimate date), the atmosphere (it's loud, but so urban) and location (great for Belltown pre-funk or all-night dining destination)! Can't wait to go back! Would go there more often if they accepted the Passport Dining Card.

Promptly seated, wine showed up after a slight delay. Bouquet was straight oranges. Not oranges you want to see from your Douro or your Cotes Du Rhone. This was orangina or freshly peeled oranges. Its helps as a bartender, sommelier or just person that pours wine if you don't do your twists for martini's or slice oranges within range of the glassware that you serve wine from. All in all quite dissatisfied by the experience. If you tout yourself on wine service figure the little simple things out.
