Corvus and Company

I recently tried the new menu at this restaurant, and I was blown away by the innovative flavors. The scallops and the wagyu rolls were my favorite dishes. Each bite was an explosion of luxury, balanced perfectly with the crispness of the accompanying vegetables. This place is a must-try for anyone who appreciates fine dining!

Loved the new revamp. Had the lava salmon, rainbow beets, and scallops. (Think they had a different name?) The lava salmon was so rich and flavorful, and the croquettes were very underplayed on the menu, they were my favorite part! Definitely nice and filling. The beets we got mostly for a vegan friend on the table (I’m not usually a big fan of beets) but wow were they pretty to my eyes and my stomach. They were nice and earthy but also nicely balanced with the gochujang sauce. Love love love Hokkaido scallops. They tasted so fresh and the bits of ikura were to die for. It really was a fun experience to grab some fancy drinks and food with friends. Cute date night spot and love the walking distance to the light rail

I love the vibes in this restaurant. My friend and I came right in as soon as we saw "dumplings" and "cocktails" signs. We ordered rhubarbella, moscow mule, and lamb dumplings. They ran out of classic, so we ordered lamb. Cocktails were good but not really sure about the dumplings. Might come back for the vibes and cocktails again in the future.

The cocktails here are delicious, but the food has sadly gone downhill. I'm not sure if the kitchen changed hands or what is going on, but the "street corn" tasted like canned corn with a hunk of partially melted cheese stuck in the middle of it, the macaroni salad "special" was flavorless, and the salad was overdressed. And they are always out of several menu items. So disappointed as we used to love this spot. I would go back for drinks but skip the food.

Great cocktail bar with some delicious eclectic food. Not to mention a cool place with some cool customers.

I've walked past Corvus no fewer than a hundred times in the last year and only just the other day decided to stop in for food and drinks for the first time. To their credit, I was in here less than an hour after they opened, but this was hands down the most sluggish service I've received from a bar in the neighborhood. It took 20 minutes to get drinks even though there were only 3-4 other people in the place. We then waited about 45 minutes for the cook to melt some cheese on some canned sweet corn and spoon some shrimp ceviche into three fried wonton wrappers. It was highly mid in taste and wayyyy too highly priced for the portion. The crazy wait was reflected on the bill at the end so they get a star back for that but it felt more owed than a kind gesture, I've got no reason to come back over the very nearby Bait Shop and Herb & Bitter who both all but guarantee a better time, food, drinks, and cost.

Corvus and Company sure knows how to make a good cocktail. I found their manhattens and old fashionds to be made in a classic no-fuss manner. Both were stiff and delicious! However, the happy hour dumplings were extremely lackluster. The dough tasted stale reminiscent of a microwaved concoction. In short, come for the drinks and get dinner elsewhere. The fried chicken was nice though.

Love this bar! I love the Seoul Shrooms and the lamb dumplings. One of the best Espresso Martinis on the hill. Be prepared for a brief wait for a seat but very worth it. Friendly and attentive staff.

Steve and I were in Cap Hill this past weekend for several events in Seattle and we decided to swing into Corvus & Company after one of our planned events fell through. We were slightly frustrated with the derailment but our visit here really turned things around for us. We each had a Moscow Mule which was very good and pleasantly refreshing. The Ginger presence certainly added to that. We were a little bit munchy and we shared a fairly decent sized portion of seasoned fries which were excellent. They were made so well the inside of them had that mashed potato texture which is the indication you have ordered some really good ones. Service was good and atmosphere was fun. The environment kind of had a gothic vibe meets Christmas with the floating candles on strings above the bar and crow figurines amongst the garland. Really a cool place and and a return visit is something we would definitely love to do!

Updating my previous review. Once 5/5 is now 1/5 It is with a heavy heart, full of disappointment that I have to write this review; but I must be honest. Corvus WAS always at the top of my list when recommending to newcomers. Not sure what has happened to this place but it's just not the same anymore. I previously rated it as 5 stars as it WAS my favorite bar in Cap Hill....SADLY this is no longer the case. Previously I was a near-weekly customer, craving the lamb burger and the hummus. The vibe was awesome and the food could not have been challenged. Not sure what has happened since then but now the menu serves only dumplings and a couple of poorly constructed Asian-inspired dishes.. Disappointed, I assumed I would find redemption by ordering the Rhubardarella (my go-to cocktail) however the lack of passion by the new bartender seemed influence my drink. I would LITERALLY trade my left testicle for that lamb burger and the hummus right now. What a loss. Sigh. RIP CORVUS. =(

Cozy vibe. The bartender was so friendly and helped us choose our drinks. It was a lively but not overly-crowded scene on a Saturday night.

Great selection of vegetarian options and items for meat-eaters! They have. Good HH special on their dumplings. I wish they'd feature more of their unique or seasonal drinks on the HH but they have a few standard ones on there. We liked the unique cocktails and the food. The ambiance is a cool, semi-spooky or macabre vibe, featuring ravens as the name would suggest. Fun art too! More of a drinks and snacks than a dinner vibe but you could do either. The service was fine and the server let us know we had 2 more minutes for HH orders right when we were seated which was thoughtful. We'd definitely come back!

Cute, artsy, little bar with amazing Asian eats. I was very surprised. We ordered the original dumplings, which might be some of the best dumplings I've ever had. We also got some of the noodle bowls which were very flavorful! Great date night spot.

very intimate and cute date spot! they have both booth seating and bar seating. the staff was so friendly and attentive. i believe last call for food is at 11 or midnight on a saturday night. they have a variety of drinks. would come again!

Great cozy pub atmosphere and tasty bar bites (especially the dumplings). Bartender was super engaging and gave great recommendations.

Had a muddled blackberry gin drink and the Seoul chicken dinner. Loved it! I'll be back for sure. Great ambiance and service. I came here on Tuesday afternoon for a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised with the chill vibe. The bar was pretty full and everyone appeared to be having a good time. My guests and I were able to hold a conversation without distractions or having to yell. I guess this is becoming more and more important as I get older. I ordered the blackbird which is their muddled blackberry and gin drink served in a coupe cocktail glass. Loved it! It reminded me that blackberry season and summer are just around the corner. I ordered a Seoul Chicken dish which paired well with my drink. Great company, outstanding service, Chill place, K chicken, and a blackberry drink right before summer. Was it the alcohol? I don't know but I felt joy in my moment of bliss. I can't wait to go back.

Definitely a must try! This is going to be a review on the food. My boyfriend was randomly hungry at 10 PM on a Sunday night. I found this place through UberEats and we decided to drive to the bar instead of waiting for delivery. We got there at 10:52 PM and they stop serving food at 11. They were super kind and weren't annoyed at all that we were trying to order food at the last minute. We sat ourselves in a booth, but they also have bar seating. Atmosphere: very nice and intimate. It wasn't super crowded since it was a Sunday night, but there were a decent amount of people in the place. My boyfriend said the decor was very much spooky and haunted vibes. Dumplings: The wrapper was too thick and the filling was okay. I've had better frozen dumplings from Bibigo. I probably wouldn't get them again. Fries: A MUST TRY! They were fresh and crispy. The portion was very generous and enough to share between two people. The garlic aioli sauce is chefs kiss. Definitely one of the best fries I've had in Seattle. Orange chicken: pretty solid. Some of the pieces had a really thick batter where all I could taste was batter, but the dipping sauce was really good and the seasoning was on point. Seoul chicken: has a bit of a kick to it, but was also really crunchy and flavorful. The dipping sauce was also really good. You can't go wrong with the orange chicken or Seoul chicken. All in all, the service was great even though our server was getting ready to wrap up for the night. She made sure to let us know that if we needed anything, we could ask the bartender for assistance. It's a great place to stop by for a quick bite and drink before you hit the town!

We actually really liked our drinks! And I wanted so badly to like our server but for god knows what reason she was not about that life. Super dismissive, not present or interactive to any capacity which is fine, she's there to work, but coupled with the aggressive tone at end of night I can't really find an excuse. Came in a group of three, one took off, closed out, and then had two unexpected drop ins. Figured I would tip on the second check since it was a continuation of our session at the bar. After a bit we asked for the second check and the waitress brought BACK the first check and chastised me for not tipping enough. "Did you mean to do that? I know you wouldn't do that to me" is a LOADED statement to be giving customers. I'm happy to tip but certainly not under that pressure or for the fact that she barely acknowledged our existence. It was so left of field I wanted to leave it as is but would only be spiting other staff. I've done waitstaff for a few years, it's way too bold to be talking to people that way, and is genuinely just rude/mean to act like that to someone? I did tip more on the first bill that she had brought back *because I liked the food and drinks and think staff do deserve tips for their time* but I'd have done the same amount without duress on the second check as originally planned. So we ended up tipping on both checks rather than all on one. Usually tips are shared and I wouldn't want to stiff the other staff because of one waitress' bad attitude, but I do worry she's costing them their tips by being like that towards other guests without prompt.

Chill vibes and good drinks. The food selection/options are more varied than most area bars and include a decent selection of vegetarian-friendly options. The service was also great, attentive without being overbearing. I'm definitely come back for more!

Was recommended to me by a gentleman at a local record store. The bar aesthetic is very pretty and interesting to look at, but then the service, drinks, and food all follow. The bartenders are clearly good at what they do. It's refreshing to walk into a bar where the folks behind the counter are obviously very competent and intelligent. The dumplings are fantastic. Not a bad thing to say about the place

Best dumplings in Seattle? Not by far. Best drinks? Again, no. But this is a nice, comfortable place. It has a nice cozy ambiance, an interesting drink list, and perfectly adequate food. The prices aren't low, but they are pretty good for the area. Overall a very nice place for a casual night out.

We came here for happy hour. Delicious food, delicious cocktails, good service, decent prices

Corvus HAD been one of my favorites in the neighborhood and I've brought a number of friends there over the last 3 years. But my friend and I went in this last Sat. 1/11/25 and we ordered two (expensive) drinks each and before we could finish the 2nd one, the tall, male bartender came over and told us we should vacate the table because others wanted it. It was 8:30! Broadway is lined with many bars and restaurants and if I were to go into a bar and the seating was filled, I'd maybe wait 10 minutes and then go find an emptier bar to have a drink. Corvus seems to have adopted the shove em in and shove em out policy. It made my friend and I feel like a number, a dollar sign and nothing more. A place I once thought was welcoming had suddenly become dismal and corporate feeling. When we left I circled back and had a word with this bartender and told him his comments were rude and it ruined the mood of the evening and my whole opinion of the place. I told him I wouldn't be back and he just shrugged, didn't even look up and said "OK". I also plan to have a word with the manager. This same thing happened to me a year ago at Mecca in Queen Anne. Another one of my old-time favorites and I took a new girlfriend there to show her this historic dive. We had one great bartender and then he left because his shift ended and another guy replaced him that told us we'd nursed our drinks too long at the bar and should clear out. We were having a lovely time until he said that and it entirely soured me on the place. Now I tell people to avoid it and why. People, please speak up when you're being treated like a CC and not a human being. It's bad enough they charge such high prices but to be dismissed in a place like a bar that you are supposed to be able to linger and enjoy your food/drink and conversation is humiliating. Fuck Corvus!!!

Bartender picked up our check at 8:34pm on a Saturday and "politely" told us to leave cause someone wanted our table. We then informed him how rude it was and stated with how poor the services was we wouldn't return.. his response was "OK". Get bent with your crappy service! Also, $20 for a dark and stormy... right.

I've only been here once and ordered a cocktail. I came in the middle of the day, when they weren't serving any food. The cocktail I ordered here was one of the top drinks I've had in Seattle. I got a blackberry drink and it was just sweet enough. I'd recommend coming here for drinks.

Came here for drinks with a friend. I can see that's what people do here. The vibe is friendly, warm, and welcoming. The guy next to me gave the bartender some of his favorite candy. That seems to be the place it is. Not romantic, but could be a casual date night. I'll go back for the food.

yikes! the doorman was hostile, the staff yelled at us to form a straight line while waiting for drinks, and the food was god awful. No fun~ I think they changed ownership a year ago.

Pretentious, unfriendly, and way overpriced. The decor is atrocious. What are they going for? Haunted Mansion? But they're playing funk music in the background? And David Attenborough on the TV? Millennial hipsterdom at its worst. This review is based primarily on the cocktails. I asked the bartender for something sweet out of their list and they said the cocktails were all pretty balanced. They offered to make me something sweet and I assented. Their strawberry lemonade was definitely sweet but I felt no buzz afterwards. I asked them for their blackberry cocktail and they assented. Firstly the foam makes the cocktail look like it has more liquor than it does. But hey! At least it was sweet, right? I'm 24 with the tolerance of a teenager. I get buzzed really quickly. So when you pour me two drinks and I practically feel sober afterwards, I can definitely tell something's seriously scammy with this business. Especially when I can go to CC's, order a long island and be pretty buzzed for a good while afterwards - all for $8! Might come back for the food but definitely wasn't impressed.

They have a pretty decent cocktail collection, and some food as well. The music isn't too loud so it's a good bar to go for conversation with a small group.

Are you freaking kidding me? These dumplings were so good. The cocktails so good! One of my new favorite places in America for cocktails! And snacks apparently

Went back to Corvus after our initial visit in January of 2020 when we were deciding on our eventual move to Seattle. We chose Belltown to live, the pandemic hit two weeks later, and now we returned to this part of Capitol Hill after looking at a new place to rent down the street. Corvus represents this hood in all its multi-cultural glory. It is relaxed, unpretentious, and neighborly. Aspects that often escape Belltown. Kurt took care of us at the bar, poured strong cocktails, and delivered delicious lamb sliders. My loquacious claws grabbed on to Kurt, asking him questions about living in this neighborhood, and he answered them with patience. Today we must decide to sign the lease. If everything in this area of Capitol Hill is as warm and accommodating as Corvus and Company, it's a no-brainer.

Cool little bar up in Capitol Hill. We stopped here before going to the drag show at Le Faux and it was a fun way to prefunk! The inside is dark, romantic, and they've got a tonnnn of cool drinks. Service was kind and quick as well. Tried the Mai Tai and the Kingston Club (I think that's what it was called) and both were delicious and strong. We tried the artichoke fritters for a light bite and I was not a fan. They were way too doughy for my liking and all together didn't have a ton of flavor. Definitely would come back to try more cocktails and more of the menu, because it sounds like they do have some really tasty options!

Corvus has one of the best happy hours. My friend and I always share the General D's mushrooms and vegan dumplings. Their cocktails are good too but only if you want to spend a dime.

Came during brunch time for some Mediterranean food, not realizing that their brunch menu doesn't really have very many options, much less any Mediterranean food. Overall, food was ok but smaller portions than I expected, and it took awhile for our food to come out despite only 2-3 tables being occupied. Also, I asked for hash browns instead of meat for my breakfast sandwich, but they just charged it as an extra side of hash browns without mentioning it would be extra. Not a big deal, but thought it was strange they didn't mention. Probably won't go out of my way to come back, especially for brunch.

I love this place on Broadway. They have a beautiful patio too. Its one of those bars which has amazing food. Do try the stuffed peppers and garlic fries, they are amazing. The staff is super friendly. Its a little busy place but you can get a table in 30 min. It has proper Seattle vibe. My favorite drink is Corvus tonic.

The food was awesome, the staff was amazing. It's a small cute restaurant/bar with a great vibe!

Stopped in before a show and was pleasantly surprised. Delicious dumplings for cheap. I love dumplings but would not consider myself an expert. But 6 for $6 with amazing dipping sauce and pickled vegetables. Yes, please. I also had a very delicious rustic cucumber salad. Ambiance is classic Seattle artsy dive. Lotta skulls and artwork. But the food was great and people were nice and on it. I was here during happy hour so that is helpful.

Good food and good drinks. Everyone is friendly and I would go back. The food menu here is small but the drink menu is extensive with a host of beers on tap. This place has a very local and welcoming feel.

Food: Bar bites with Eastern Mediterranean roots Servers: Cool artsy kids majoring in mixology Cocktails: Crafty, some vintage, some modern, rotating, appearing and disappearing with the seasons or just like that traveling gypsy aunt on your mother's side whenever the hell they feel like it Ambiance: Mystical: a dash of Southern Celestial Hemisphere, sprinkled with Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven (Corvus is the genus name in Latin for "raven") with the nuance of Severus Snape's menacing monotone monologue "You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making. As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses. . . I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death -- if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach."

This is a great bar with very nice, chill vibes. The service is great and the drinks menu is versatile and unique. The seating is also great, some very comfortable booths are available. The drinks tasted amazing as well!

My favorite bar in Seattle. I've been going here since I moved here. The cocktails are always so delicious and on point. Highly recommend!

Nice bar in Cap Hill for cocktails with good ambiance. Lots of indoor seats (bar and tables) and outdoor bar style seating on the sidewalk. Cocktails are $13-$15, but the place is definitely on the nicer end. I got the Everybody Overboard which was very citrusy and strong. I was hungry for a meal and ordered the kefta pita sliders - portion was definitely a little small considering it was $16, so not necessarily great value here. The pitas came with a small amount of lamb, slaw, cucumber, and a yogurt sauce - honestly very tasty, but also pricy for what you get.

My husband and I love Corvus - it's one of our go-to spots for great cocktails. My latest fave is their Rubarbarella, with homemade strawberry rhubarb syrup that was to die for (went down a little too easy honestly, could get dangerous haha). They also have yummy and surprisingly fresh food options for a bar; we usually get a few small bites with our drinks and have been impressed with the selection. Most recently, we got the falafel plate and really enjoyed it. Staff is friendly and our pup feels right at home on their patio, which now has a retractable cover for rain protection. It's just a nice spot to sit and people watch too. During non-COVID times, they had this really amazing hand-drawn menu by a local artist illustrating all their creative and delicious cocktails. Miss that and hope they bring it back post-pandemic!

Can't really say anything about the food because we only had drinks here. I don't know whether its the drinks we order but drinks in general, but cocktails were very strong with burning taste. I've been here twice and always had to wait to get seats. But after being here twice, I don't get why it is so popular.

Good place for drinks and some finger food. Not many dinner options though. The staff has been really good with the covid measures. Safe place and lots of good vibes!

Corvus has great drinks and great food! The big dumpling energy Seoul chicken was really good - slightly spicy with great crunch!

I would rate Corvus 3.5 stars but because the ripped booth bench seat snagged my new dress I'm knocking it down to 3 (rather than a bump to 4). I arrived around 6:15 on a windy Saturday evening and there appeared to be a decent amount of open seats in the medium-small bar. My friend got there first and claimed a booth for us, plus another friend--they ask for your vaccine card and ID as soon as you plop down. The interior was nicer than a dive bar but still pretty Seattle, if you know what I mean. For drinks I wanted a gin cocktail, and the waiter recommended the Basilisk so I went with that! The citrusy drink was comprised of house infused black lime gin, grapefruit, lime and orgeat ($14). It was served on the rocks in a lowball glass with a dehydrated citrus garnish. It was tasty but not amazing. I could happily drink another, although for my second drink I went for a standard gin and soda to save my wallet (and a potential sugary hangover) some grief. I was a fan of the crackling fire action going on on the big screen, as well as the artsy bathroom. Although the mirror design paired with the lighting situation makes it hard to actually fix your face if necessary. The overall vibe was pretty tame, although it was early in the evening. If a date or friend wanted to go for drinks in the future I'd oblige, although I would rather try a new cocktail spot for a bit of variety.

I always love coming here. Great cocktails, great food. I miss the lamb burger though :-(

My favorite bar in Cap Hill. I always try to frequent here once a week while commuting back home from work. The vibes are chill, space feels safe, and the bartenders are kind and great at what they do. Seasonal cocktails are always solid too. An overall great place to grab a drink or two by yourself or with friends.

Great food! Nice ambiance but they could really use a storm door or heavy curtain as it gets very drafty inside. We were at the 3rd booth from the door and stayed in our heavy coats while we ate. It's also quite dark in here! We were exchanging Christmas gifts and I was afraid one of my friends would drop part of her gift and not even be able to see it in the dark space. The twice friend cauliflower here is a must. Cooked to perfection, it was one of my favorite dishes of the night. The fritters were good and perfect for sharing. The arugula salad and goat cheese was very tasty as well. I look forward to future visits during warmer seasons!

This is a great place to grab drinks! My boyfriend and I came here after dinner and like most of the bars in Capitol Hill it's small in size but large in personality. The decor is really edgy and moody, but in a totally awesome way. The menu is pretty extensive, so I ended up asking the server for a recommendation. I'm really not a huge fan of gin based drinks, but she assured me that the gin they use is very smooth and doesn't have an overpowering flavor. And she was right! My drink was fruity and very refreshing. I'll be back to try more!

New favorite! This place was fantastic. The team working was fast and friendly. Got drinks and some light bites. Everything was delicious. I recommend trying some of their cocktails. They had plenty of delicious offerings. The roasted beets was amazing! Delicious and perfectly prepared. Will be recommending to friends!

Great hidden gem! Don't let the size or ambiance fool you, this place is pretty damn awesome!!! YOU MUST TRY THE LAMB BENEDICT! I didn't think lamb and Benedict went together, till I tried it here and I fell in love! It's awesome! I will definitely go back for that! The veg hash was great too! The veggies they used were fresh and wholesome! The eggs are cooked to perfection! Gave it one less stars because the English breakfast tea quality was far below average! The coffee to was just ok, nothing great!

What brought me in is the ambiance of the place. Lowly lit, wood counter top, leather seats, beautifully displayed bar. A place that I can sip on my cocktail, snacking on small bites and a nice place to enjoy a conversation. I ordered The King of Swords, a decadent drink. Along with some artichoke fritters and the falafel plate. All very delicious. I will recommend this to friends and I hope to return!

We are so happy to have found this place. We were in the area and looking for a place for dinner after 10 and saw this place was still open. A quick check on Yelp showed they had a lot of good reviews, even though they weren't showing up on our yelp search. This place has great ambiance, with friendly service, and very good music playing. We ordered the fried lamb kibbeh, Turkish spiced chicken wings, and chicken shawarma as a plate, with pita on the side. We loved every dish we ordered, and will be back soon to try more. Bonus: there is a well lit, paid parking lot right opposite.

My first time here was in the summer and we ordered 2 cocktails, blackberry and a custom one I asked from the bartender inspired from their old menu. We sat outside which was alright, there's no aesthetics outside. My second time was last night where we sat at a booth. I ordered the same blackberry cocktail with Hendricks gin which is smoother and more floral. It tastes like juice and is smooth! Although there was music, I could speak at a normal volume and could hear my date. Service was good and they re-filled our water.

I needed to recharge before the long slog back to West Seattle in my birch bark canoe over the Duwamish. Lol thought I was going to imbibe at a bar down the street but they only had outdoor seating. Brrrr. Found this wonderful place on the walk back to the car. The beer selection is excellent, they even have Holy Mountain which you don't see very often, among other fine locals. Food menu is interesting. Best of all the atmosphere is really cheerful great tuness, bartender is very upbeat. And rather than leave the bar empty cold and uninviting, they filled the bar stools with life-size skeletons. Makes for a festive atmosphere! Highly recommend this place in covid times it almost feels like a normal experience.
