Cook Weaver - Seattle

Flew in from Philly for a friend’s birthday weekend which included a tasting menu at the Chef’s table at this amazing place in Capital Hill. I didn’t even check out the website or anything, just laid all my trust in her. I was not disappointed!The interior is small, intimate, and cozy with beautiful artwork. The chef’s table was well placed because you are there watching the action but not on top of the chefs. That was refreshing. I have done a few chef’s table and found them to be awkward because you almost feel in the way. This was not the case. You could watch the craft but not feel overbearing.As for the food, excellent flavor profiles with a cascading arraying textures and combinations that really did feel like a magical culinary journey. We even had a menu substitution with a tri-tip with morels and corn porridge that deserved mentioning because, honestly, it was like each dish from start to finish was fighting for attention to be the most delicious. The dessert was fantastic and had so many lovely textures and flavors that played well in the sandbox that I couldn’t stop myself from finishing it. This is a place where a pickled carrot could, almost, steal the show to a delicious rice porridge that tasted like something totally brand new yet also brings you home to a meal you remember your mom always making. That’s what food should be about and they know it!Staff was extremely accommodating despite being very busy. The chefs were stellar! As skilled as they were friendly, it was a delightful experience. I’m not kidding when I say this was best dinner I have had in Seattle since the closing of Tarzan I Jane. Also, music playlist was seriously on point and helped the whole experience. Can’t wait to take my partner when I come back.

I had the pleasure of discovering Cook Weaver while wandering through Cap Hill in 2022, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. The alluring 7-course vegetarian tasting menu caught our eye and drew us in immediately. Zac, the mastermind behind the exquisite dishes, not only impressed us with their visual appeal but also left us in awe of their incredible taste. Some of the dishes were so exceptional that they stirred up emotions within me.Fast forward to July 2023, after a magical sunrise hot air balloon ride on our wedding day, we decided to celebrate our special moment at Cook Weaver. The menu was nothing short of phenomenal, adding an extra layer of significance to our day. When we shared the news of our recent wedding with Zac, he graciously invited us back. We had the chance to speak with him and Sara, the co-owner, and share our admiration for their culinary creations. Sara's kindness touched our hearts, and she surprised us with some goodies to make the occasion even more memorable.Thank you, Zac and Sara, for creating such a memorable and extraordinary dining experience. Your restaurant holds a special place in our hearts, and we are grateful for the way you made our wedding night even more exceptional.Vegetarian options: A Vegetarian tasting menu

We had an exceptional dinner here tonight. It was a bit expensive (at $135 per person) but well worth the price! There were seven dishes in the fix price menu, plus five extra goodies. There’s a vegetarian option and an omnivore option. We got one of each and both were great. Each dish was delicious, with carefully selected ingredients and preparation. The service was warm and friendly, but not overbearing. my spouse got a cocktail which was delicious too.Although there was a lot of food, each dish was small, so you don’t leave feeling too full, just pleasantly full. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience, and I would definitely go there again…but not too often, due to the price.

HORRENDOUS experience here. Had to throw cash down and walk out mid meal for the first time in my life. The party of 12 in the photo was celebrating a 50th birthday and they made sure you knew! Incessant screaming to the point I couldn’t hear my fiancée or the server describing the course they brought out. We asked to switch tables and they declined our request until we complained again. When moved, they failed to give us spoons or water for 15 minutes. We couldn’t eat our course without spoons and had to flag down additional staff. Beyond this, the pace was too slow and honestly the food was just fine. We were there for 1.5 hrs before we walked out and only got to 4 of the 7 courses. The waiter checked in a total of 2 times during this. They claimed to talk with them after our second request to keep it down, highly doubt even a glance was exchanged. The party were friends of the restaurant staff. They finished their food as we arrived and lingered. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. This was supposed to be a nice celebratory dinner but instead it ruined everyone’s night. The tables next to us leaned over and asked if it had been like that all night and if they were leaving soon because they were also extremely annoyed.
