Carrie Lawson: The Wagyu Kobe burger is probably the best I ever ate! It was juicy & amazing. We also tried the Veal Bolognese over fresh pappardelle pasta, a sage marinara sauce and topped with ricotta. Perfecto!
Nat McCully: Always easy to get a table. Consistent and pretty tasty.
Heather Shea: Great dessert!!! Check out the chocolate molten lava cake... Yum!!!
The Seattle Times: Among the more unique loaves here is sour cherry pumpernickel and hominy bread, a dense, moist, subtly flavored cornbread. Café Besalu next door sells Tall Grass' bread in the early mornings. Read more.
