Eden Hill Restaurant

What a great experience from the service to the food. Interior is small, so it can be hard to hear who you are with, especially with the side conversations and bar (shaking/making drinks). Service is attentive and very informative without feeling bougie. Essentially, servers were super talkative and made us feel like they were talking to us as friends.We opted to order a few dishes instead of the tasting menu and got a few special mocktails made, they ask about restrictions and tastes to try and cater a drink to you. Personally, the mocktails and shrub were just okay, they didn't taste special- one tasted like orange juice and another like grapefruit haha but it was still a fun experience. We ordered the pretzel roll and jalapeño honey sabayon (bread was soft, sabayon was good but the honey and jalapeño flavors definitely sunk to the bottom, so the best bite was when I dunked down to the bottom), grilled artichoke salad (amazing, every bite was so flavorful), cauliflower (good- cauliflower was the best, I didn't personally need the pickled cabbage and sauce), strip loin (the volute was so smooth and flavorful, steak itself was a little bland and chewy, broccolini had a nice char taste), and octopus (it was so tender! It felt a little rich even though the rest of the dish was light, the grilled pineapple and avocado were a perfect accompaniment). Overall, great experience would happily dine again.

Take note: I have never had better service and the food was absolutely delicious! We were here two nights ago on a Saturday, 2/24 for a friend's birthday celebration. Our server was so amazing and I'm still thinking about what a beautiful job she did -- easy going, never bothered (and we had a lot of fun "tweaks" to what we could/couldn't eat), super knowledgeable about wine pairings, and incredibly attentive to the point of overhearing a couple of our table mates complain the vegetarian main dish didn't exactly line up to our spouses' meat mains. She came back with an entirely new dish for 3 of us to share as she had overhead and wanted all to be happy! Big thanks to the kitchen too! And that dish!! So goood! So here is what we ate:-- All 6 of us did the Chef's Tasting Menu (and here your whole table does NOT have to all partake to have the tasting menu AND they will make any modifications any guest wants -- vegetarian, pescatarian but no tentacles please, etc. etc.). That right there is shocking in the best way. 3 of us did pescatarian with some individual tweaks, and 3 did the regular tasting menu. There is no set tasting menu -- and it's not composed of the regular menu items with an exception here and there. How does such a tiny restaurant/kitchen manage so much flexibility and inventiveness? I don't know but I will be back to see what's next, that's for sure!-- We also ordered the cauliflower chilaquiles (OMG SO GOOD), and the pretzel bread rolls with pimiento cheese spread (also delicious). -- Our surprise extra dish for us pescatarian tasters was the MOST delicious muscles dish I/we had ever had! It had a spicy peanut sauce-like broth that was so perfect for the chilly night (we sat outside in a cabana for our party of six -- oh and they provided cozy blankets and they have heaters). -- Worth noting the carrot dish on the menu was supposed to be our final main for our veg/pescatarian tasting menu and I thought it was 100% delicious and would have been happy - so flavorful, smokey, and hearty honestly for a carrot. But I did not hate the addition of those muscles, that's for sure!! Seriously, those muscles should be a standard menu item. I will think about them for years to come. -- Our dessert was a chocolate cake with sunchoke ice cream. Yep - sunchoke ice cream! That ice cream was so good! So we all agreed -- a huge round of applause to Chef Max or his CDC that night (I wasn't sure who was cooking) -- so inventive and the most accommodating kitchen I've EVER experienced, no question. And to our magnificent server, thank you! You are incredibly well suited to your job and you made our night so lovely! I wish I could remember your name in my fog of delicious food, but am sure you will remember it was us if you read this review. ;)

Anniversary celebration. The first three dishes were good; our last two were the grilled octopus and wagyu steaks. In an attempt to accommodate my Celiac, the chef May have over-salted both dishes. The dishes were still flavorful, just very salty. They removed these charges without us asking. Britta provided a fabulous dining experience/service. Indeed, it is a top-notch place where customer service is their priority.

This has to be our favorite restaurant in Seattle! Cozy, romantic, fabulous food with great service. We always love sitting at the bar for our dinners here! Their foie gras dishes are some of the best we've had. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Came for dinner on a Sunday night and it was very cozy inside. The restaurant is small so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Decided to go a la carte to try as many dishes as possible. The pig head "candy bar" is one of their signature dishes and I highly recommend it. There are definitely vegetarian options and they do a good job of presenting the vegetables in a new way. The service is great and the experience was worth it.

I eat out a lot in Boston and have my favorites there, but I think Eden Hill has beat them all out and I had my best meal of the year here! It's generally "New American" but not stereotypically so, it's more creative and I had so many new flavors / textures. I highly recommend sitting at the bar, see if you can the seats closest to the kitchen so you can watch the cooks operate, and even talk to them sometimes! One guy is playing cold dishes right in front of you so sometimes we even got little samples!!We ordered a la carte, which I do think is more worth the value based on what we saw the couple next to us get from the tasting menu ($105 pp)Confit beets with pumpkin spice yogurt and granola was okay, the only disappointing dish of the night, nothing tasted bad just a bit boring, no wow factor. 3/5Now the cauliflower chilaquiles - incredible! And a huge portion for $18! These have that soggy crunchy texture from the tempura-like fry (I think it's gluten free?) but topped with lime crema, manchego, hot honey sauce. You think the plate ends with each cauliflower but then there's more! So well balanced with acidity from the pickles, little bits of fried crunchies to contrast the soft cauliflower. 5/5Roasted Brussels sprouts with crème fraiche bagna cauda was also a standout. The sprouts themselves could have been more crispy since they were just highly blackened / not fried but the dip on the bottom was completely new to me, not fishy at all as bagna cauda is anchovy-based, almost a bit sweet like chocolate. 4.5/5We got small bites of the beef tartare (good) and blue cheese atop a potato crouton (better), which were delicious but so rich that a whole portion of it would have been too much. The pig head candy bar is my platonic ideal pork dish. The most unctuous gelatinous bits of pork inside, both shredded meat and skin, bit of a sweet and savory five spice flavor. SO crunchy and wonderfully fried on the outside. The slaw and pear sauce are nice to have but not super interesting, I think the log itself is great on its own. 5/5These steamed mussels were life changing, because I literally learned that most mussels I've previously had at restaurants are actually over cooked! I was so confused as to how the shells looked normal sized but the meat inside was so plump, the chefs explained that they pick out individual mussels as soon as they open in the pot. Most places will wait for all of the mussels to open and dump it all out at the same time, but the ones that were cooked first start to lose their water. I only cook mussels this way now! All to say the mussels were great and the focaccia was crazy. A thin wispy toast on the outside, audibly crisp, and when the center bread soaks in the broth, it becomes lusciously custardy. Just wow! 5/5For two people we were absolutely stuffed at this point and were so indecisive about dessert... but the chef behind the counter heard this and he so kindly prepared a little dessert sampler for us of the sweet potato custard with ginger snap crumb, whip, crème fraiche ice cream. Pleasant! Since it was our anniversary they also gave us the famous foie gras cake batter (recipe under NDA!) but it was very gamey, not sure how a kid enjoys this as a pb&j substitute lolAnyways I haven't stopped thinking about this dinner, I will be coming back whenever I'm in Seattle. Boston has some catching up to do for food quality per price.

Picked this place for my birthday dinner . There are few vegetarian options but they are all amazing especially I loved the cauliflower and for dessert pistachio pie was epic The only downside is they have limited seating inside so outside can be bit chilly at times. Service was friendly and ambience could be better if seating was made better.

Service and food is right quality and delicious. They respect dietary restrictions and it is a wonderful anniversary, or date night cozy feeling

The chef's choice experience was gifted to us. As my first time going there, I could say that the service was amazing. The place was a bit small, but it was very cute and felt like I was at a restaurant in Paris. The ambiance of the restaurant was very intimate. It was a 5 course meal + dessert. As people who don't drink, we were offered non-alcohol sparkling wine; the restaurant's special. Overall everything was delicious and the experience was amazing,10/10, would highly recommend.

Service was very good, we sat outside which was nice but lacks the ambience of the inside tables (maybe a candle that works?, a flower?, something??). They kindly put "Hapoy birthday" on the menu for our friend. The food was good - just good. For almost $100/person (1 cocktail each) I expected great food. We had the halibut, octopus, Thai salad, bread, and something else (can't remember so that says how unexciting the food was). Again, it was good but nothing that wowed me. Had dinner the following night at a small a inexpensive cafe and the salad there was awesome! So makes me look back on Eden Hill with even more disappointment.
