    In addition to our a' la carte offerings, we invite guests to indulge in our exclusive Tasting Menu, available as a six course option. This curated experience showcases Executive Chef Christina Siegl's creativity through dishes not found on our regular menu, allowing you explore unique flavor pairings, seasonal ingredients, and unexpected preparations. We also offer additional wine pairings that have been carefully selected to accompany your tasting menu. Our tasting menu is only available with a reservation for the purpose of kitchen prep and ordering. When reserving a tasting menu experience with us, we kindly ask that all guests participate in the selected tasting menu at the time if serviced and requires full table participation. While we're happy to accommodate adjustments with cancellations up to 48 hours in advance, changes cannot be made once you arrive for your reservation. This allows our kitchen team to thoughtfully prepare each course and ensure the best possible experience for you and your party. You may, of course, enhance your experience with supplemental a la carte dishes. However, transitioning to an a la carte-only format is not available. Thank you for understanding.

    This restaurant is an absolute gem. The owner and head chef were both there, and both came out to our table to talk to us, which we greatly appreciated. The service really makes you feel like you're at home, and they're incredibly accommodating for specific dietary preferences, such as my pregnant wife's need to not eat anything raw or undercooked. The food is phenomenal. Chef Christina is a highly skilled chef across the board, and really shines in making delicious desserts that aren't overwhelming, as I so often experience at fine dining restaurants. Highly recommend checking out 84 Yesler and enjoying a walk along the waterfront on a nice summer evening.

    Some of the most inventive creative food wines are a little bit pricey but there’s some good values get the board just get the board. You’ll see when you get there. It’s so delicious but only for four people.

    84 Yesler presents itself as a chef-driven restaurant, but our experience was a bit mixed. The menu is extremely limited. Their website mentions a tasting menu, but it was never offered to us (perhaps they no longer serve it). If you're vegetarian, and especially if you're vegan, your options are very limited. We visited on a Saturday evening and there were only three other occupied tables, so the atmosphere felt a bit flat. It's hard to enjoy a restaurant that feels almost empty on a weekend night. The food itself was good. Very expensive for what it was (I'm still trying to understand how a simple vegetarian pasta costs $30), but at least it was tasty. Dessert was a little too sweet for our liking, but overall we enjoyed the meal. The service was friendly and made a genuine effort to be welcoming. What really bothered us was the mandatory service charge. The restaurant adds 26% to the bill - 20% plus another 6% fee. How they divide it internally is not really my concern; from a customer's perspective, it's a mandatory 26% surcharge. We're visitors from Europe, where service charges are generally modest and certainly not compulsory at this level. We left feeling that the overall experience simply wasn't worth the final bill, which is a shame. A big part of hospitality is making guests feel welcome, not forcing them to pay an excessive service charge.

    Food good but overpriced. Nice restaurant but food, nor service or ambiance equates to prices.

    Loved our visit here! I wish this app gave an option to do in between stars because it was really more of a 4.5. The food was all really interesting and delicious and service was impeccable but I wasn’t crazy about the cocktails. Pretty expensive and didn’t deliver for me. Would absolutely be back and will stick to wine in the future.

    Not exactly an economical happy hour but a truly outstanding culinary experience. Oysters were superb as was papardelle. However the mushroom crestini was a work of art.... visual, olfactory and gustatory.... bravo. Nice selection of wines by the glass but only from the non happy hour list. Been there for lovely dinners several times under two chefs but this was my first happy hour visit.

The layout is great for an interactive dining experience and for watching the kitchen at work.

The best time depends on your vibe: arrive for Happy Hour (4–6 PM) for elevated small plates at better value and a relaxed start, or choose a midweek evening (Wednesday or Thursday) for a quieter, more intimate experience. Weekends can be busier and louder when fully booked, so reserve ahead if you want a quieter table. For special nights, book the tasting menu and consider wine pairings.

Midweek (Wednesday or Thursday) is often the best day for a quieter, more intimate experience, the restaurant is open Wed–Sat, while Friday and Saturday offer a livelier atmosphere for celebrations. If you want value and a relaxed pace, consider arriving during Happy Hour (4–6 PM) on any open day.

Busiest: weekend evenings and nights with large groups or special events, when full the space can feel lively and a bit noisy.
