The Corson Building Is One of Seattle’s Most Beautiful Restaurants | Eater Seattle

"Housed in a 1920s structure that feels like a cottage owned by a penniless but elegant Italian noble, this is one of the most beautiful restaurant spaces in Seattle, with exposed brick, low lighting, and flowers in simple glass vases that perfectly match Emily Crawford’s cooking. The frequently changing menu draws inspiration from across Europe and the Mediterranean, with often subtle flavors that lean on seasonal produce; standout dishes from a recent visit included ricotta dumplings with a meaty, succulent lamb shoulder ragu, a scallop in brown butter, and a delicate Meyer lemon curd tart. Dinner is à la carte on Thursdays and Fridays, while the full experience is the five-course, $130 Saturday prix fixe (with an optional $65 wine pairing) and a four-course Sunday “supper” for $115 that includes a carafe of wine; the wine list skews French, with most bottles between $50 and $100. The rustic-chic atmosphere makes it especially suited to weddings, though renting the venue costs more in the sunnier months, and while the patio is heated and covered in winter, the outdoor space is at its best in spring and summer. If dressing up for a big night out, it’s worth noting that the surrounding streets have many potholes and gravel, which can be tricky to walk in heels." - Harry Cheadle
