Autumn Seattle

How have I not left a review yet? I am here pretty much once a month at least! The food is great because it rotates so there are always new options. Of course if you are a creature of habit there are some great staples, for instance, I LOVE the polenta fries and the ahi crudo. They have some fantastic cocktails including the prizefighter and the Touché Pussycat! They also have an amazing pasta Tuesday deal that is ~$50 for a salad, pasta, dessert, and glass of wine. Unbeatable! Highly recommend and the staff is phenomenal! From Clay to Tommy to Angela & Tyler at the bar!

Came here for my anniversary and absolutely loved it. The ahi tuna crudo and cavatelli were amazing! The service was also a highlight as they were very attentive and friendly even when we had a late reservation. The ambiance was also very nice and tables not too close together made it feel more private!

My daughter picked this place for my birthday celebration dinner. We intended to just have drinks and snacks but ended up making it a light dinner. They have a nice selection of wine by the glass - between the two of us we tried four different ones - none disappointed. The dishes were well prepared and very creatively presented. Will visit again when I'm in town!

Came here with a group of 3 friends on a Monday night. We were the only ones there the whole meal so it felt kind of quiet and weird, but I liked the open kitchen where you could watch the cooks. Atmosphere aside, the food was phenomenol. We started with sharing the Hamachi Crudo and the Beef Tartare. The Hamachi Crudo had lots of flavor and I loved the basil involved. I got the Gnochetti which was also a good dish. The Beef Tartare was by far my favorite dish here and one of the best I've had - HIGHLY recommend!

Industrial clean space with well laid out seating.We came for the Tuesday night dinner special, which is a great deal in that you get a salad, a pasta dish, a dessert and a glass of wine for $41. The thing about it is that it's not just any salad, pasta dish, dessert and glass of wine, though. It's flavorful, creative and a true treat to eat.I will admit I cheated and paid an extra $5 for a Dungeness crab dish which was literally coated in crab. So delicious and enough for lunch the next day, too. Another highlight was the bread, which was lemony and cheesy and crisp. Service was friendly and attentive. Sometimes on "deal" nights or things like restaurant week you can tell that the events exhaust the staff - not so here.

Really nice spot to dine for a romantic date night or small group. The restaurant is open kitchen and has a simple outside dining patio.The food all around the table was really good. The Tagliatelle had crusted pistachio crumbles that made the dish top notch. The albacore was paired with so much flavorful veggies and stew. The rest of the table had meaty and hearty rigatoni. The spot is kinda pricy ($9 'bread service' that only comes once) and the wait staff was more reserved. I'd return but not rush back. Overall, a really nice addition to the neighborhood.

Came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and was super excited for try this place out. I had heard good things about both the food at atmosphere, but was let down quite a bit. While the space itself was clean, modern, and spacious, it also seemed somber in a way. I cant pinpoint exactly why, but it was so hush hush, and not in a romantic way, that it almost seemed awkward to talk. Our waiter was very friendly and personable though.I ordered a canneolli with squash, kale, and ricotta. While it came with deviously fried kale on top, it also had sunflower seeds and other toppings that seemed burned. They didn't put this on their menu and so I ended up not enjoying the dish since I don't like sunflower seeds. Whatever else on it was a bit burned and was hard to stomach. I feel like if you have nuts in your dish, it should be on the menu for allergies sake. The dish was also very oily. My friend ordered another pasta dish with sausage that she enjoyed, and while it looked pretty and I had a taste, it wasn't extraordinary.We has the tiramisu for dessert, and it was definitely better than the main courses. Nice and fluffy, not too sweet, good texture and coffee flavor. Not the best I've had, but good. Overall, I wouldn't go again, but it was good to try.

For my partner's birthday, we did the Four Course Tasting Menu. Overall, I'd say Autumn is a solid 3.5 star, but upgrading to 4 for the Tasting Menu's value at $75/pp.The meal started with a generous first course of of 4 separate dishes--the two salad dishes were excellent, the ratatouille-esque dish was good, and my least favorite was the potato & prosciutto, which was just fine.The second course was pasta with garlic bread, where things took a dive for me as the pasta was extremely salty. My partner enjoyed it and it was fine for him, but it was very overwhelming for my palate. The culprit of the saltiness was the smoked ricotta, which was unfortunately mixed into the pasta. I truly can't remember any other flavor profile in the pasta besides salt, salt, and salt--it was WAY too much. Thankfully, by the time we had some garlic bread, I had isolated the saltiness to the ricotta and took the pile off to spare myself. With the ricotta removed, the garlic bread was absolutely delicious and probably among the best I've had.The third course was scallops--yummy but nothing too memorable in terms of flavor, although cooked to perfection. Fourth course was a very refreshingly light panna cotta, which was a much-needed reprieve from the saltiness of the pasta course.The service was on point, and the open-kitchen ambiance was nice and cozy. I'm intrigued enough to return on their Pasta + Wine Tuesdays as it's an amazing deal, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that anything I order is free of the overly salty smoked ricotta.

I was so excited to try Autumn and they didn't disappoint! The service was lovely: kind, attentive, and helpful. Our server made suggestions and recommendations which was helpful for this kind of menu. The ambience was charming and fun but a touch upscale. The interior is fairly intimate so I love that you can see the chefs cooking! My date and I were dining in the day after Valentine's Day, but clearly celebrating the occasion. When I couldn't decide on a cocktail, the server asked for my favorite flavor profile and returned with a beautifully crafted cocktail with tiny hearts in the egg white! So cute. Truly made my night. Our pasta was good but the polenta fries were TO DIE FOR. Crispy on the outside and drizzled with a delicious honey. Our server told us they're considering taking them off the menu....so I suggest ordering a plate while you still can!

Fantastic restaurant...when you first walk in you see a rustic but swanky scene and all the chefs cooking right in front of you in the kitchen. We were a bit late for our reservation but they accommodated us quickly. The service was akin to a fine dining restaurant, very hands on and attentive. The food was unique, fresh, tasty, great textures...I was very impressed overall. Lots of fresh cheese and quality ingredients that really made my mouth experience this restaurant in a great way.
