The Urban Spoon Reviews

My favorite place for dinner in Seattle! Food is great, live entertainment is great, everything here is great.

Eclectic, interesting, tucked in the North end of the Market. Amusing cabaret entertainment in the evening makes it more of a group happening than intimate couple's place.

We missed out on getting tickets to the burlesque show, which would have been awesome, I'm sure, but we were still pleased with the restaurant. We were seated next to the window with a good view of the ferris wheel and water. I mentioned it was our anniversary when I made the reservation, and we were greeted at our table with glasses of complimentary champagne. It's a beautiful restaurant and the food, Italian in nature, was wonderful. The service was great too.

The food is really good and it's well priced. This spot is very difficult to find and you may question if it's a restaurant from the outside but if you head down the alley and look for a pink door with no sign outside you have found it.

It's hard to spend money on Italian food, because average Italian is so easy, but this food was on another level, and a great environment to enjoy with a group of friends.

The best Italian Food I had.
Delicious to the power infinity.

Delish! Great spot taking friends from LA to enjoy Italian cuisine and wine

Amazing food and service, we will be back!! The show was phenomenal

Delicious food, big portions and excellent service. There are certain things that I like about this restaurant. There is always great food you can expect from this restaurant. The place is ideal for formal dining or social gatherings. But, More

Prices similair to Olive Garden. Great location. Very calm environment conpared to what's outside. Food was okay.

Cool little bar/restaurant. It's size from the outside is very deceiving and is much bigger than it appears. Great live music.

Great food and friendly staff! Outdoor patio overlooks the bay. I recommend the Copper River salmon if you happen to visit when it is in season!

Phenomenal food, phenomenal atmosphere, phenomenal service. Just overall fantastic restaurant. Top spot for a nice dinner out for multiple occasions. They are known for their acrobatic dance performances.

Great food and ambience. Hostess and wait staff were exceptional.

A bit hyped but overall good. Ya get the feel like they used to be really cool, unique and fun than sort of became a caricature of themselves. Long lines of people that have never been but have to go due to it being on the list. Not really a bad thing as it reflects success so I can't hit em on this... they became a caricature cause they did something right. I do say that I have had some real fun here.

This place literally has the best fish !! And of corse risotto is a must !!!!!

Came for dinner due to reviews everywhere. Walked in on a Saturday. Was super busy due to an event. The host was not very helpful in a sense where we "pushed" away a couple times. Was expecting something amazing, but food presentation and taste was subpar. Service was acceptable. Was worth the experience to know there is no second time.

Love this place. Food, atmosphere, drinks and entertainment, all in one. The lasagna is amazing and so are the pastas!

We were very pleased we went through the anonomous pink door last friday. We were greeted by an unexpected lively atmosphere and by friendly attentive staff. As we hadn't booked we went to the bar until a table was ready. We had bread which was a good start, and l chose lasagne pink door which was a delicious vegetarian dish, the other two in the party had pappardelle al ragu bolognese which was very well received. It was a shame we were in a hurry because we would like to have stayed longer. A place to be recommended.

Absolutely amazing service and delicious food. Our server was able to pick the perfect wine for what I wanted to start with and paired a bottle of light red to match seafood and prime rib. Beautiful view too!

Love this central Seattle hideaway. Nice food and drinks menu, great ambiance. One of my favorite places. Their outdoor deck in the summer is one of the best in the city, and during the winter the inside is cozy and welcoming.

The food was tasty and well prepared, the place is fun..a bit hard to find but oh so worth it...we will definitely be back.

Special place. Great food. Order the garlic bread as a starter! We enjoyed the Sunday aerial show in the bar area during dinner. Lovely.

Just a fun underground spot.
Don't usually drop 25 dollars for chicken but I was surprised.
The dump trump cocktail was fun.

It's a nice place to sit on the terrace on a nice day. Two menus were recommended. Staff recommendation was Bongole Pasta. There was a lot of Bongole and it was delicious, and the applemint drink that was put together had a cute paper laundry.

Incredible Italian food with an aerial performance every half hour or so. Such a spectacle to see while enjoying a meal with an excellently paired glass of wine.

Dinner excellent. Service exceptional. Bartenders, two thumbs up. Great venue..Burlesque, enjoy your dinner and if you have time to kill..why not

One of my favorites. Tonight did not disappoint. All of the flavors for every item on the menu were perfectly melded together for each scrumptious bite. Fantastic food, great staff.

This unassuming restaurant has an attentive and exemplary staff serving delicious food in beautiful surroundings. The bolognese is comfort food incarnate(ask for extra sauce, and clean your plate with the complementary ciabatta bread). The appetizers are without exception delicious as are the desserts. The staff will ensure that all who grace their hallowed halls leave satisfied and pleased. Eating here is simply fun.

Quality has really gone down now. Their Veggie Lasagna used to be superb- all the ingredients were blended nicely. The fillings were fluffy and light. Now it's just blah - just a hotch potch of ingredients with no cohesive taste. And AVOID the White Pizza Bianca at all costs - this was on their special - my god - its just cheese goop that's been applied on a very average pizza crust. Gosh, I think Domino's pizza was better. We set aside the whole pizza (Except for a small slice which i took in the beginning only to find out how bad it was) and our server did not even have the courtesy to ask us how the food tasted or offer us a refund for the food that we did not touch. Very poor quality. We're not going back there again.

Amazing food. Everything was cooked perfectly. All the fish was delicious and delicate.

There is an entrance along a minor street, and there are no signs, etc. and you can not tell where the store looks. As the store name indicates, the sign that the entrance door is painted light pink is a sign.

It is good to eat on the terrace overlooking the sea when the weather is fine. Although the food is delicious according to reputation, the potion is smaller than the average American Italian.

The food here was amazing. There are special shows that happen on select days, so make sure to check the restaurants schedule before hand.

The Alaska Rockfish was prepared to perfection! Whole fish charbroiled then backed! Fantastic .. Andrew was our server he was fabulous and thought me a trick on how to open a wine bottle with a built-in corck hanger!! Thanks

Fun atmosphere, great views of the waterfront. Make a reservation if you want to be seated in the performance area.

Food was fantastic with perfect portions and flavors. The Dungeness crab risotto was sweet and rich with cherry tomatoes and spring corn mixed into the meal, providing a nice texture as well. The service was friendly, down-to-earth, and fun. The outside patio was a fun area to eat, although it may get a little cold because the restaurant is near the waterfront.

Wandering around Pike Place will find you at an inconspicuous pink door that leads to a fantastic restaurant with a great menu and no shortage of charm.

The food was amazing. Seasonal cocktails were delish. As someone who had spent years in the restaurant industry, host was phenomenal and server was OK... I brought a guy I am dating to the late night dinner and burlesque show because I thought he would enjoy it... but, we weren t aware that half of the dancers were going to be male dancers. I didn t mind so much myself but it wasn t something he necessarily enjoyed and I probably wouldn t have purchased tickets for us to go if I would have known. We are both supportive of this community but I think maybe they should label the show as an LBGTQ burlesque show that way people are aware before they go. Would definitely go back with a group of girlfriends.

Found this place through a co-worker and I could not be more grateful. LOVED everything. The service, the atmosphere, the food. A nice date night out, we WILL be back.

This vicinity is puffed up! It took us greater than an hour to get a table for 4. I thought the meals become proper. The bolognese is their distinctiveness and the part of this plate is an awful lot smaller for how a good deal you pay for. They do have stay song starting at eight I agree with, which gives the eating place a groovy vibe. Another down facet is it's quite bloodless internal.

Excellent, one of my favorite places to eat around pikes place.

Delicious food and impeccable service. Currently not doing burlesque.

Really great quality food. The seafood was exceptionally fresh and well-prepared. The wine and cocktail menu was well-rounded and extensive and the service was wonderful. Really cute atmosphere to top it off.

Cannot speak highly enough of this well kept secret. Staff was polished/accommodating and forthcoming. Food on point and well presented. Atmosphere clean, carefree, vibrant and lending itself towards the cool Seattle vibe. A jewel of Pikes

I come here on occasion for an evening of fine dining and entertainment. It's a very cute venue with a little stage for live shows that are always a blast. The food is always on point, and their service is friendly and very accommodating.

We stopped here by chance after looking over the menu. We were so happy with the service. The food was delicious and the patio view was beautiful. Highly recommend. Just wish we had stayed longer for our vacation to have been able to have seen a show with dinner.

Very cute, romantic Italian restaurant. Hidden gem in downtown Seattle. Live music. Waiters are attentive. We requested to sit by the window and they honored that. Food was beautiful and delicious. Garlic bread is amazing !

Fantastic place, guy. We arrived at the end of July at about 2:00 p.m. during Covid and were able to stroll in without a reservation. That made us so excited about it. If you're looking to enjoy yourself a little bit at the time of COVID, certainly look at this highly recommended spot.

Charming little unassuming restaurant with interesting decor. Ended up waiting 20 minutes for our table despite arriving early and having a reservation. Wait staff was cheerful and pleasant, and the Ciabatta was tasty. Food was good, but left something to be desired. I had the seasonal crab risotto and while it was tasty, it was nothing to write home about. I think the amount of corn took away from the taste of the crab, but apparently some people wait until summer for this dish, so maybe it's just me. Hubs had the rigatoni with Italian sausage. Pasta was cooked Al dente and sauce was light and bright tasting. Didn't try the sausage but he enjoyed it. Overall, it was a nice spot for lunch but perhaps too overhyped. With so many restaurant options in the vicinity, I don't think we'll be returning when we're back in Seattle.

Way bigger than you think and totally rocking the hip "no signage" vibe. Delicious and as authentic as I can tell. Try the Bolognese.

Awesome place with great service, food and entertainment.

Easily my favorite place we visited when in Seattle. The food was amazing, there was a great electric cellist providing great ambience, the wait staff was attentive and friendly, and inside the restaurant was beautiful. I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting Seattle! Also, get the fries - they're amazing!

Very original decor, great views, great service and food. Don't show up early though.

You ever had pesto lasagna? YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE!

The decor is a strange assortment that feels like it was taken out of an 1800s circus but the food is very much for today with amazing flavors and perfect presentation I heartily recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Loved the ambience and service. Food was awesome. Will visit again.

Very interesting combination of tastes wonderfully presented to please the eye. Very deserving of 5*.

After checking the menu of few restaurants around, I chose it because I love Cioppino. I liked the ambience of the place, live music, friendly staff. The Cioppino was very good but not as spectacular as in San Francisco.

great atmospere, friendly staff. garlic fries and lasagna were delicious

Great atmosphere; friendly and great food. I will visit again on my next trip to Seattle!

The best Italian I've ever had. Authentic and fresh with a unique atmosphere and great waitstaff.

The ambience is everything at this place. I had the King Salmon, and it was OK at best. Not the best bang for buck.

I've only been here for drinks but the "speak easy" vibe and all the little shows they put on are great. Plus the outdoor patio overlooking the port is awesome during the warmer months. Interesting decor. You'll know what I mean when you visit.

What more can one say about this "secret" dining experience and speakeasy. Artsy environment with a burlesque/moulin rouge vibe and excellent service. Had the flatiron steak that was so tender and flavorful with a lovely Italian salad to compliment it. Didn't care for the cooked onion which seemed a bit sad but personal preference! This is a must go to in Seattle. Make reservations!

I love the atmosphere here! The food is absolutely amazing and the arial artists are phenomenal!

Great venue and live music, wish our server provided better service with a smile!

I ve never been here but it looks cool and my family says that it has good food

Great service, great food! Make sure to get reservations if you want to experience the live entertainment.

Great food, good wine, great ambiance, fantastic bartender. What more is needed?

trapeze show is not to be missed, sit in main dining area! food is excellient

Cool atmosphere and location. Would like to go back on a Monday night to see the show. Food has always been delicious no matter what we ordered. Herb garlic fries are a must. Definitely recommend.

One of my top restaurants. The renovation is absolutely stunning and the food is always delicious.

This was the first time me and my wife tried this place and it was amazing I would definitely be visiting here again

Pricey but worth it! Entrance is in the alley and has no sign, just a pink door! It's across from a wine bar! We ate outside and it was very charming with mismatched table cloths, twinkly lights and a view of the bay. Staff was very attentive. I don't think my water glass ever got half empty! Enjoyed the lasagne as it is vegetarian. It has a white, pesto and marinara sauce! My husband got the other vegetarian pasta (Trofie with potatoes and green beans), and it was tasty as well, kind of a roasted flavor. I'd go back for sure!

Vegetarian Review: Oh what an experience! Romantic setting, difficult to find the place but as the name suggest, it is on the alley and has a pink door. The wait for long but we spent the waiting time at the tasting room right infront of More

I enjoyed our overall experience at Pink Door. The show was entertaining, felt like it should have started earlier. The food was pretty good, but not exceptional. I would give them a 4.5 if I could, but cannot justify a 5. The food is not authentic, definitely Americanized. The dessert left something to be desired. You do have to pay for the show, which I was unaware of. There is an option to dine outside of the show room, but the food is not worth it alone.

I had the fish of the day. It was halibut and it was cooked perfectly. It came with veggies that were excellent as well.

We were there on Friday evening and there was a piano player.

I LOVE this place. It's hidden, and easily missed. Service is always great, the food is never a miss. I love their vegetarian lasagna! I bring all of our out of town guests here.

It does get busy so try to make reservations a few days in advance.

I've never been to Italy, but if it's anything like this -- SOMEONE BOOK ME A TICKET.

Everything from the ambience to the food was perfect at The Pink Door. If you're going on a date, definitely ask for a table next to the window. The view is incredible.

Our server-- I wish we asked him for his name was great! I asked him for his recommendations for pasta dishes and he said that the bolognese, lasagna, and risotto is what they're know for. I've had bolognese at a lot of different restaurants recently and risotto sounded a bit heavy and so I went with the lasagna. IT WAS BOMB. Seriously can't go wrong with it. Trust me. I usually expect meat in my lasagna, but it did not disappoint! The creamy cheese layered between beautifully cooked spinach wavy noodles, smothered in a comforting red sauce. Every bite was perfect. SAVE THE COMPLIMENTARY BREAD FOR THIS; you're going to want to dip it in the rich saucy goodness. ;)

We also ordered a lighter pasta, the clam linguine. I really loved this dish! The clams were cooked perfectly and the sauce was buttery in a light, yet comforting way. Pretty good sized chunks of pancetta cleverly sprinkled throughout the pasta added another dimension to the pasta.

I think I found my favorite Italian restaurant! It's always an exciting new find when you want to come back to try every other dish on the menu! (:
