Our server was Frank. He was super sweet and worked super hard to make the birthday dinner experience a great one. Wasn’t expecting a private space but got one so that was awesome the staff to do. Food was delicious. We got desserts after. The whole evening was great. They even accompanied my tardiness since I was driving from Tacoma to seattle and didn’t expect so much traffic heading there in the evening.

Reservation process was easy through open table. The ambiance was classy and warm. The service was great all around. Timing was on point from start to finish and best part was that the food was delicious and a good serving size. Everyone's meal was good. I'd definitely recommend Barolo and think the value and experience was great!

We got our drinks just before our appetizers came out. We tried several times to toast my son and his fiancé's engagement but never all had drinks at the same time. Service was rushed. We got our entree's seconds after our appetizers were cleared. The $200 bottle of wine I ordered with dinner finally arrived half way through dinner. When we are spending a $1000 on dinner I expect much better service. I am assuming Barolo has new ownership because it was always completely full on a Friday night and it was maybe half full that night. It used to be our favorite restaurant but will not be going back.

The food at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. The lobster risotto, the gnocchi, the carbonara and the tiramisu were all so delicious!! I would highly recommend this restaurant but it’s also a little on the pricey side so bring your wallet. They had a great wine menu and lots of good appetizers as well and it was totally worth the price. Also the staff did an amazing job with the entire experience. We will definitely be going back.
