Eden Hill

So tastyyyyyy! I so appreciate how patient and understanding Tram was with my NUMEROUS reservation updates-the experience started off lovely before even stepping foot into the restaurant. We did the blind chef's tasting (dishes are not included the a la carte menu) and were delighted at all the flavors and creativity. This felt like a homey, no-frills dining experience that lets the food be the star. I'm sad to take off a star strictly for how FREEZING the inside was. Our table was right in front of the door, and without an additional wind protector (?) external door, a chilling draft swept in every time someone entered/exited the restaurant. To add to that, the kitchen/chef uses an outside door(?) so they were unable to turn up the heat. I ended up wearing my jacket, beanie, and scarf, so as delicious as the food was, it just wasn't comfortable. Would not return again, at least not in the winter :(

It was our first time to Eden Hill and I just had the best experience ever! Chef David and Tram were wonderful and made our visit very memorable. I learned about Eden Hill from a class Chef David taught. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he taught us and I have been really excited to come here. We felt like VIP and appreciated how knowledgeable they were about the food they served. The dishes were delicious and I just can’t say enough about how awesome the experience has been. Each dish we had was unique, flavorful, had different textures, and full of umami explosions in our mouths. We finished every dish! It is so good and each is on small portion dishes except for the duck confit and black cod dishes. I didn’t think I had enough stomach space for desserts but wow, Tram got us amazing desserts and I had to try them. It was so delicious! So full of flavors and textures. The shrubs were really good too. Especially the cranberry shrub! We decided to sit outside next to each other and it was very cozy with music from across the street. I just loved our experience here. I am so happy and grateful my boyfriend took me here for dinner because we just had a memorable time. He has been hearing me talk about my fermentation class by Chef David for a while and see my experiments at home and he loved the food from the restaurant. I highly recommend Eden Hill.

This place was overall pretty solid. Some hits and some misses. Wine pairing was really good compared to other places in Seattle at a better price point. We did the tasting menu and it felt overpriced for the quality of food. My comparison point however is similarly priced places in NYC. A majority of nicer places in Seattle seems to follow this pattern though, so maybe just the standard to expect here. I.e. one of the dishes we had came out with Everything But The Bagel seasoning. ???

Absolutely incredible! After years of experimentation and meticulous review, I have officially determined that Eden Hill is the best restaurant in Seattle. This was my third evening dining here in the last 2 months, and if I could afford it - I would come no less than 5 times a week. Every bite is unique and masterful. The menu rotates frequently and the staff makes the whole experience easy and memorable. The cocktails are A+ and no how full you are by the end the dessert is always worth it. Planning to be back again soon for the tasting menu! Overall: 10/10 *I would have better photos but we ate too quick.

Made a reservation a few hours before for the counter seating. I felt like I walked into a place of a magic happening in the kitchen. After having experienced a number of fine dining, It was a refreshing experience. Every dish was creative with exquisite taste. During the dinner, we had the chef coming and talked to us. It really reminded me of a restaurant I used to go frequently in London. I highly recommend !
