The Urban Spoon Reviews

One of my favorite restaurants in the US. We got lucky and walked in and got a great table for two. Excellent and unique drinks and exquisite food. I will be back next time I m in town.

Good food nice ambience. Patio seats are best weather permitting.

The entrance is difficult to find, but once you open the door, a new world unfolds.

Very romantic. Be careful you might miss it since there is no obvious sign of the restaurant's name. Just a pink door! Service is excellent!

Life Lasagna.
Price expensive. But every time the menu changes.
Stop by if you have a trip to Seattle. Did you come to save anyway? There is not much lunch waiting. Is it expensive?

I have been going to this spot for more than 20 years,I think

GREAT dinner spot. Fantastic food (most are seafood dishes). Their spuid ink spaghetti was delicious. Drinks are good. Also, try to sit on their porch for great views of the bay.
Inside seating would normally include a show by acrobats.

The place is a little difficult to find. No name of the restaurant on the place, but there is in fact a pink door. Once inside the restaurant itself is a nice place, and food was good

A hidden gem. Unless you know it's there, you could walk right past. Great atmosphere and decor and delicious food. Well worth a visit.

We went on a sunday. The aerial performance are out of the world!! Jacqueline B was hands down the BEST server we have had in many a moon! She suggested appetizers and drinks that were 10000% what we were looking for! Thank you for making a good day a great day Jacqueline B! <3

Food was Great, wish I can say that about the Service ! The servers are pretty rude and mostly nonexistent our server (don't remember her name) never came around without us flagging them down.

Amazing and very popular restaurant. Visited on a Thursday evening at around 8pm and the restaurant was packed. Food was and service was really good and we would definitely return.

We went to the Pink Door for some nice Italian food. My tagliatelle with meat ragu was astoundingly good. Some of the best pasta I've ever eaten. The restaurant was a bit strange, with a very fancy, upscale inside with dimly lit tables and soft music, and an outdoor patio very much more catered to the "come as you are" folk. We were dressed nicely but seated outside with the t-shirts and shorts and hats people. A little noisier than we were expecting, but the food made up for it 10 fold.

Really fun cabaret show! Be ready for a late night.

Great meal! Came here on a business trip and was happy to say that the pasta was cooked to perfection. There was also a live aerial show which was delightful to watch. I would definitely come back to this restaurant in the future if I m in the area again. I didn t get to try the dessert since I was full but I heard it s amazing.

My wife and I have been going here for years. It's officially our favorite restaurant. Great food, great service, and a quiet, romantic atmosphere.

The food is fresh and the ambiance is excellent. A hidden treasure in post alley. Its across from Kell's Irish pub.

Wonderful atmosphere and the food and service was great. Definitely try this place if you are at Pike place.

An easily passed restaurant tucked away down the middle of Post alley, very easy to miss it as there are no obvious signs or even windows. Simply look for the light pink door (go figure?). There is a good selection of items on the menu but I personally recommend the scallops. The prices are also fair, less expensive than the items at Elliot's Oyster Bar down on the boardwalk and just as tasty, if not more. You also have the choice of eating inside at the Pink Door or on the back patio which has a partial view of the harbour. Anyways, it is definitely worth to stop and have a meal here...just look for the pink door!

Great atmosphere! Small jazz band trio was play on a Tuesday night. Loved the food and creative drink menu. We went back on another night since we liked this place so much. I also learned that they have acrobats that work the indoor swings on some evenings for added entertainment. The Pink Door is a little hard to find, its not really pink but more of a light pale salmon color and it's a small wooden door. Look for it directly across from Kells Irish pub in Post Alley. When you finally find it open the door and look down (as the restaurant is immediately down a flight of stairs), you'll say "Wow, I wouldn't have imagined this place was here!" And then you'll feel like you stepped back in time to one of those clubs from the prohibition era! Just go! If you're ever in Seattle, you'll love it!

On the service: One of the hosts at the front door got us seated right away despite a 45 minute wait time, which was really sweet, we hadn't eaten all day and were starving so this meant a lot. A hostess at the front was wearing a ridiculous fluffy coat, which was... just hilarious I guess. Blue-haired waitress was lighthearted and funny, she made the pretentious restaraunt feel much more welcoming.
On the food: pasta was undercooked, dishes really wasn't that special, the "really, really good" olive oil is actually really, really good, the drinks were incredible and the second best part of our dining experience besides the waitress.

Overall: service for a busy night was friendly which makes this an easy 4/5. Don't go here if you want amazing food, though.

This place is definitely fancy. They had a performer while we were there.

Very delicious food. Very recommended. Price is pricy but OK.

Just a few options in the menu, it was not easy for us to select a plate. Very good the Ceasar Salad Chicken though.

The quintessential Pike Place Market dining experience, in Italian. Always fresh and outstanding. Great drinks, great view, great service. Make sure you reserve on the deck in the summer.

I still don't understand how this restaurant can be one of the best Italian restaurants in town. This just can be a three-star restaurant in NYC, LA or SF.. DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH. Seattle people are just too generous.

Squid Ink Spaghetti was great with just the right amount of spice.

Excellent food, decent wine prices, cool atmosphere

The Pink Door was fantastic. From the unlabelled pink door entrance in the alley way to the live acrobatic shows periodically during dinner this place is a must. I got the squid ink pasta and it was top-notch. Even the olive oil served with the bread is crazy good. The server says they make it themselves in house by marinating extra virgin olive oil with this own blend of ingredients. I'll be back if I find myself in Seattle again.

This was a little tricky to find - no signs? But wait is that a pink door ? Ha ha, really nice food here, enjoyed a great lunch with two families (9) which can be tough!

The front desk help are very bitchy. They dooo not make special guest WELCOME!!

Caesar salad with dungenous crab was great. Unique, good garlic bread.

It's a little hidden place that offers the best fresh seafood and service that life offers!!

Great atmosphere and great food. The staff is very friendly and helping. It was very entertaining as they had an acrobat perform above the tables.

You need to be really paying attention otherwise you miss the restaurant as there no signs. Literally just a pink door! Lunch was very good! We had as starter a pear bisque and I had a delicious Ciopino Pink Door: prawns, mussels, clams and calamari in a spicy tomato and white wine broth. Worth the visit!

Had the most amazing lasagna ever! Their house "Pink door lasagna" was beautiful.

Highly recommended!! Food was delish, atmosphere was amazing!! Staff friendly and helpful... Next time we will go for the dinner and show!!

This place was great! As a tourist, you can find good Italian food anywhere, but the environment here was very welcoming and open. The space itself is much bigger inside than it appears outside. I had the lasagna, at the recommendation of the waiter, and blistered asparagus. The asparagus was good but nothing special. The lasagna on the other hand was some of the best I've had. It's a hard dish to mess up, which means it's also a hard dish to make stand out. Prices are what I would consider mid-upper range. Maybe a 5-6th date, or a business meeting type dinner.

Thank you, the family at the Pink Door for a great experience. Alexandra our waitress was very nice, and nonchalant, yet non neglectful. My girlfriend and I, really appreciated the guy that came by for water. Its little things like that gets you . We had the kale salad, and the lasagna. The salad was amazing. The vinaigrette with the grapes gave it the right sweetness. The lasagna was my favorite. Your marinara is by far the best ive had. The enviroment was very relaxed. Leaves on the floor, dim lights, and vintage style. Nice music playing. When we visit seattle again we will definitely be coming again!

Nice food and great view if you get a window seat, finding it can be a little tough because there's no sign on the door for the restaurant. It's just a semi-rusty pink door without any writing on it...

They are doing a fantastic job with reopening. The food still to die for, the so wonderfully friendly and helpful.

Great spot if you are visiting the area. Be sure to stay for the burlesque showing, it only lasts a song but is every half hour or so and is worth the time. Great unique cocktails as well.

The bolognese and bruschetta were incredible. The lamb was okay, and the Sunday evening show was interesting but not quite up to the hype. Oddly, the Mama Mia soundtrack was playing all through our meal, which wasn't cohesive with the ambiance. The service was excellent, and the lavender panna cotta was deliciously refreshing and creamy. Unfortunately, I would be more tempted to come back if the prices were a little lower.

I think the food here is good, I feel satisfied but not the service.
Yet thanks The Pink Door!

My favorite Italian restaurant in downtown! Great environment, great food, strong drinks!

Came by for a nice meal with my mom and we agreed that the staff were not welcoming and didn t make us feel like we were their type of customers.

Across the street the Kells we go! They were yummy and super accommodating.

Every thing from service, atmosphere and food is superb!
If you sit outside you can enjoy the beautiful sunset. However, was literally incredible, and if you get nothing else here, that should be what you order!! I for sure will be coming back here.

excellent food and service. Make sure you make a reservation in advance.

I forgot to take a picture of the dish before I dove in but their house special was amazing.

It was a squid infused pasta with shrimp, octopus, oysters, and calamari (I think).

Absolutely amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was a great portion. I was there on a Sunday so I got a show asking with my meal as they had a trapeze artist performing intermittently. The back room also has a great view of the bay and the ferris wheel.

While the food was good, the drinks were extremely overpriced. I'll still give them the 5 stars though.

My husband picked out the place as our venue for our anniversary date, and it had an amazing ambience with beautiful jazzy music playing through. They had really friendly and smiling staff! The live music was such a add on to it all:) beautiful experience overall! Loved the delicious food! They have great options for vegetarians as well!

You need to make reservations 30 days before you go. Wonderful food

Great atmosphere. Dress very nice or be ok with getting your drinks/service after the well dressed people. Wonderful atmosphere. Really tasty food from a pro kitchen. Maybe a little pricey, but if you want a cheap night in The Market, stand on the corner with a 5th of R&R.

Italian restaurant with delicious food. I have rarely eaten pasta so tasty and perfectly made to the point. Varied menu and good treatment of the staff. It's not cheap but it's worth going. They have live music and for reservations, they notify when your table is free by SMS, so you can go for a walk while.

Dining with a twist and that's not just the trapeze artist. Fab.

Really good restaurant. Great dishes, good ambience. Food was so delicious. Must visit place.

Fantastic service and great food paired with an aerial show. It was a great time. They had a mushroom ravioli that unlike most was not covered in heavy cream. The light sauce really brought out the flavors. The bartender came out to answer questions about a bourbon neew to us. It was delightful.

While somewhat overpriced, the service was exceptional and the food was tasty. Touch less menus option and masked servers, require you to wear mask with server encounters. Felt very Covid-safe!

Don't miss out this place if you are visiting the Seattle area. The wait could be long as this is close to touristy places, but it is worth it.

If you don't know what to order, start with an appetizer, then share a plate of clams and mussels. Perfect.

Our server was Jay, and he provided some of the best service that I have ever received. My eleven years old was so hangry that she refused to try any menu item, so Jay asked what she likes and had the kitchen make something special just for her. He suggested a wine that perfectly suited the tastes of all the adults. Our food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. This is going to be a 'Go-To' restaurant for me from now on. I loved my experience here.

I was there for my 26th wedding anniversary. I had the best Osobuco

The Pink Door was suggested to me for a great brunch in Seattle and it did not disappoint.

I had Mama's Meatballs calzone style (yes to the cheese inside for a little extra) and it was amazing. The side salad was perfectly dressed.

Service was great! Quick with everything, even our many requests for more bread. Overall, an excellent meal with excellent service.

This restaurant is unique and delicious. It s hard to find if you re not looking for it as there s no signage, you re literally looking for a pink door. I got the lasagna and it didn t disappoint. I d highly recommend anyone getting it. The view is also great- overlooking the water and the Great Wheel area.

It was a great experience. The service was amazing. I definitely recommend The Pink Door

Best vegetarian lasagna I've ever had! Service was phenomenal too!!

Nicely remodeled! Bathrooms are actually in the restaurant now. Excellent food and service!

I dont think it gets any better than this. The Squid Ink Spaghetti is the best thing I have ever eaten. After two glasses of wine my man gets to see the 'pink door".

Very unique, great ambieance, fun decor, good food, good drinks, good service, and good entertainment. All in all, it's pretty darn good.

Awesome service!! Awesome food!! Great experience!!

I was worried about it, but it was really awesome. I could put a lot of raw parsley in it and it would be a bit of a fragrance, but it was really awesome. The beer was recommended to the server and I gave it IPA, but it was incredible. The servers are also very friendly. When you first enter the restaurant, ask yourself if you want to eat outside or inside and where to eat. The outlook is not very good, and it is cold to drink beer.

The best pasta I've ever had in my life. I ordered the ragu and the texture of the pasta was thin and perfect. The arancini balls were good, although the sauce was rather sweet. The flourless chocolate cake was not very cake-y, and while it tasted wonderful, the poached pear on top wasn't my favorite. The three gelatos however were perfect in every way. The service is excellent, and they were kind of enough to let us know when the aerial show was about to start so we could watch, even though we were not in the bar area.

Love the pink door! Just returned from a month in Seattle, and I ate at The Pink Door at least 4 times per week. The vibe in here is awesome, and a truly unique Seattle experience

Great place to visit.
Lovely atmosphere, they play live music after 8.
Food was ready pretty fast after we ordered.
They have generous portion.
Service was good.
We had great experience here.
One down side is that food was bit salty for us but that is personal taste.
