OOLA Capitol Hill

My family and I, a party of 5, made a last minute reservation at OOLA and couldn't be happier that we landed at this restaurant.It was a particularly cold evening when we went, and we were immediately greeted with some of the best service I've ever experienced -- they offered us blankets and soft, heated pouches to keep us warm. That being said, the interior was well insulated and, once we warmed up from being outside (20°F), they were no longer needed.The ambiance was wonderful, reminding us of a classy, speak-easy type of atmosphere. One of my favorite aspects of their menu, which I've personally never seen before, was their list of drinks on the front. They ranged from "no booze" to "a little booze" to "booze-y", which I thought was really cute and creative.Their dinner style is shared plates, so I would be sure to go with friends/family who enjoy family-style (which my family and I love). This would also be a *perfect* spot for date night. The food was insanely delicious. We started off with the Brie and Butter, Baby Red Beets, (2) Potato Rosti, Creamed Carrot, Celeriac Schnitzel, and (2) Braised Squid. We then ordered the Cured Steelhead Trout and wow was that incredible. Everything about their menu was impeccable, from the quality to the innovation to the flavors. The women who waited on us were so genuinely kind and answered any questions we had about the drinks or dishes. Our group agreed that our favorites were the Brie and Butter, Potato Rosti, Creamed Carrot and Cured Steelhead Trout.We ended the evening with both of their desserts, the Vanilla Pot de Creme and the Pudding Cake, and I don't think I could choose a favorite. The after-dinner espresso that we ordered was clearly high-quality and so good.I can't wait to come back and love that their menu always changes!

OOLA is a restaurant located in Capitol Hill that features a cocktail bar, tasting room and bottle shop. They actually used to have a distillery and restaurant called Eletric Cello in Georgetown, but relocated to Capitol Hill as Oola this past August. The location was beautiful and had some small tables as well as a bar area. The only bad thing is that they rely on street parking, which can sometimes be hard to find depending on the day of the week. We went to their cocktail class, which is hosted every second Wednesday of the month for $75. You RSVP in advance online on their website and they provide you with supplies and spirits to make the drinks. The cocktail class was led by their beverage director, Devan, who also curates all the drinks. Devan was an amazing staff member and provided us exceptional service. They were a great teacher and it made the class much more enjoyable and easy to follow along. The class came with 2 drinks and a dessert, as well as a 10% coupon to shop their bottle shop. I really enjoyed the whisky sour we made and the "under the cosmos" which was apart of their holiday menu. This was such a perfect experience and great for a night out/date night in Seattle!

The drinks were fantastic but the service was terrible. We waited 40 minutes before we got our drinks. It's too bad because the menu looked great but we didn't have the time to stay longer. It's very cute and I wish we'd had a better experience.

OOLA is one of the newer restaurants in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. I got the potato rosti and duck. The potato rosti was delicious - it tasted like a pamped up hash brown. The duck had a really similar texture to wagyu, a little different from your everyday peking duck, but was very tasty and tender. The staff was also really nice and attentive, especially our waitress/bartender Devan. My friend and I had a fun time conversating with them. They also make the prettiest and most delectable drinks!I have to admit that the wait time does tend to be on the longer side, but it's definitely worth giving this restaurant a try!

I came here for a drink with a friend on Saturday evening and sat at the bar! The drink I ordered was the Dancing Bible Width Apart. I loved the taste of the cardamom, grilled peach and the egg white in the drink. Nice to see this place open up, it's definitely a little on the pricey side, but there's a nice ambience, service and I'm looking forward to going back to try some of the food!

OOLA is such a fantastic place in Capitol Hill for a date night or night out! The variety of drinks and share plates are all so fantastic and beautifully aesthetic!Love how OOLA features all locally crafted vodka, whisky, and gin from their distillery! You will surely find your new favorite drinks here so come ready to try some great alcohol. I love that this place is woman owned and ran - absolutely incredible females working here! There's also a speakeasy here so follow them on Instagram for more details ;)

Came for cocktail week and loved to see a woman owned spot! The entire staff working was women which was awesome. We got the kale and potatoes which were absolutely delicious. I want to figure out how to make that kale as it was so good! Love that they have boozy, light booze, and mocktails. Fun spot for a few apps and drinks.

The food and drinks were delicious but don't come hungry, in fact, we advise to eat a small meal in advance. And if you any food allergies, skip it all together. One of us has a dairy allergy so we ordered the 2 dairy free items and they were delicious, but you needed a microscope to see them. Our biggest complaint was the passive aggression from the owner and the wait staff: after telling them we were starving and asking for some bread. the owner came out to apologize, and alluded to offering us complimentary drinks but never did, asked if my dairy-free friend could eat butter (which makes no sense), and at one point joked that maybe we should get take out pizza instead. We are writing this from a diner nearby where we came eager to eat anything after spending $200 on a meal that left us hungry. We are 2 petite women who don't normally eat that much and we consider ourselves pretty polite. Overall the food was delicious but the menu was sparse and the staff was not helpful.

Cozy restaurant with delicious food (fav is the potato rosti) and excellent service! The only downside is street parking can be hard to find.

So we went looking for the new OOLA tasting room on Capitol Hill and were surprised instead to find OOLA had opened an amazing restaurant. The restaurant is in the location of the beloved neighborhood favorite Marjorie. While we were disappointed that Marjorie was closed we were pleasantly surprised by the elegant menu. We had small plates that were as delicious as they were beautifully plated. So flavorful and well balanced. The Fried potato rosti and Baba au Whiskey dessert were especially to die for.Everything else was also top notch, the warm service, excellent music, plus the casual cozy feel of Marjorie was still there. And, of course, the OOLA cocktails were amazing. Happy to hear Marjorie may be reopening at another location but also very happy that such a wonderful fresh new restaurant has taken its place! I'm sure OOLA will become as beloved a neighborhood fave as Marjorie.(Updated as I meant to give 5 stars and Yelp defaulted me to 4!)
