Lovely place. I can tell it's in the same franchise as Autumn and other places I've been, but that's ok. Overall, I enjoyed myself. The bread app is my favorite in this franchise of places. Their house made bread is top notch. It's so enjoyable for me, that I ordered the bread plate again - for dessert. Haha :) In general, the pasta was good, but for being house made pasta I don't think the pasta dishes were the showcase. The appetizer snap peas.... The best snap peas I've ever had in my life and honestly, I didn't know they could be that good! The charred carrots were also super super fantastic. Highly recommend both of those.

Disappointing. I’ve had high hopes but the food was not that great. Maybe because it is a restaurant week? Pasta was okay, and the fish was salty. On top of that, they added automatic 22% gratuity. I also indicated that we are celebrating my birthday upon my reservation and nothing was done (didn’t even want to ask).

I ordered the chef’s amazing *orecchiette* and savored it (beautiful fragrant and delicious - photo attached)! But what really made this night special and so meaningful was how well me and my conference-going friends were taken care of by the GM, Ryan, and the entire team at Haerfest. Groups are tricky to manage on a quiet night, so I was especially flattered by how awesome the team catered to our group while also taking care of a FULL house. Honestly, I’ve never felt more welcome at any restaurant - if I could give service and atmosphere a SIXTH STAR I would!!!

We read about this restaurant previous to attending. All of the reviews were encouraging. The pastas were homemade and off of the charts. The carrots were lovely. I had an espresso martini as well and would highly recommend that to anybody who’s looking for a little pick me up. All the staff knew their ingredients and procedures very well, the chef was a magician! I can see this place winning a Michelin star in the future.

This is my third time visiting Haerfest, and I have yet to be disappointed. My entire experience was great, starting from the moment I was greeted. The menu is steadily updated to be seasonal, fresh, and local. They even make their own breads and pasta at their West Seattle commissary. I love the open kitchen concept and how the menu is never overwhelming. Thank you so much to Patricio and Andy for allowing me to be inquisitive and ask questions. Thank you, Luna, and the FOH for being so accommodating and providing excellent customer car. I got to watch BOH make braised rabbit for the limited time it will be on the menus. I will absolutely be a returning customer. Also, they have great alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Our second time here, the first time for father's day, and most recently for my husband's birthday (at his request). The food and service were excellent as usual, and we live the casual yet upscale atmosphere. We ordered the bread service (the honey butter is 10/10), the Conchiglie (dungeness crab pasta), the Campanelle, and the Prime NY Steak. All were delicious, can't wait to dine again soon!

The cucumber mocktail was nice. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal, especially the scallops! For our mains, we ordered the fish, bolognese, rabbit, and wagyu, all of which were just okay.

If you’re willing and able to cover the cost of $100/person after taxes, 4% fee, and tips (drink + app + main), this is actually a great place for a date or something else special. The Food: It’s legit good. Quick story. I was blessed enough to have regular access to Il Corvo when it existed downtown. Every bowl of pasta they served was perfect every time, and it was $12, so I’m forever spoiled and seeking pasta of that quality (if not price). All that said, I was impressed with with Haerfest’s pasta. Good sized portion, well balanced and cooked, with great taste. We had the carrots and steak tartare for apps, and both were good if not quite great, and I really wanted the tartare to be 6oz not 4oz (or that proportional increase) The Drinks: I don’t drink all that much, and tend to be picky about mixed drinks if I’m paying Seattle prices for them, so I was surprised to find I would come back here for their Condesa. The bar tender was also very friendly and genuinely interested in us enjoying the drinks. I absolutely feel they’d fix your drink if you didn’t like it, and be able to help you find something you do. The Space: It’s a little cramped, but still has the fancy aesthetics and vibes you want without feeling too formal or pretentious. You’ll feel like good things are going to come out of the kitchen and you’ll be right. Service: We had one request that got missed, but they fixed it and then some, and that to me says this is a place worth returning to. If you’re gonna drop this kind of money you expect they’ll be attentive and make the experience feel special, and they do. Constructive Criticisms: Presentation was lackluster. Everything was served on the same plate - regardless of size, shape, or color - and tho that’s undoubtedly easier for the staff, it’s a missed opportunity to further elevate a lot of great dishes. A dish like the carrots with pine nuts is a bit of work to get all the ingredients into a single bite, which a little unfortunate because it has good flavor.

Haerfest truly impressed me. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the sleek, modern atmosphere with an open kitchen, everything contributed to a relaxed dining experience. Thanks to SRW, I got to explore a variety of dishes, and Haerfest has quickly become my favorite. It's not just the quality of the food that stands out but also the exceptional service and ambiance. Each dish reflects the team's dedication and commitment to delivering an outstanding experience. I look forward to see Haerfest on the Michelin list.

I made reservations here for Valentines Day on or about Jan. 15 and the earliest we could get was a table at 8:30, which is not a problem for me. I don't mind eating later. We walked in the door at 8:32 and there were two couples in front of us also waiting to be seated. I don't know if they had reservations or not. The ambiance is modern with the counter and kitchen viewable right when you walk in. It took about 5 minutes for the hostess to get us seated. We had specifically booked a TABLE and they seated us at the counter after seating the other two couples at tables in front of us. They didn't seem to acknowledge this at all. The server then proceeded to spill water on the counter in front of me while he was seating us, and he didn't clean it up. I was feeling annoyed! The Valentines Day menu was Prix Fixe for $98 per person. I don't recall seeing the Prix Fixe menu on their website when I booked in Jan., but that's ok, I am not picky food wise. We ordered a bottle of wine to split as a couple and one of each dish on the Prix Fixe menu. The drink menu was a bit limited, especially on the wine side. The appetizer course featured all four dishes on the menu. Three of the four dishes were brought out to us almost immediately. I figured they'd bring the fourth (crab) soon thereafter. We finished the three dishes they brought us and the server asked us which was our favorite. I had to ask for the crab, otherwise they never would've brought it. My favorite, BTW, was the Beef Tartare. By the time we finished the crab and they brought the pastas, I was a glass of wine in and felt more relaxed. Service was more consistent after this and both pastas were great! My girlfriend is pickier about pasta, especially making sure it is cooked al dente, and both dishes were perfecto! We were already feeling full at this point! The scallops and waygu came next. Both were rich in taste and helped round out our paletes for the night. Finally, dessert - the chocolate mousse cake came in the shape of a heart for Valentines Day. It was amazing!! It had strawberries in it and it tasted exactly like a good piece of chocolate out of a Valentines Day chocolate heart. Yum!! I have a huge sweet tooth and was impressed by this dessert! My girlfriend likes savory flavors more and enjoyed the olive oil cake for herself. We weren't feeling ready to go home yet, so we ordered another drink. I ordered the AE Martini. I don't order martinis too often, but this one is the best I can ever remember having! Not too bitter, not too briney, and the stuffed olives with blue cheese were great too! I would recommend this martini! Overall, the food was great! I would recommend and return to Haerfest, and I'm optimistic that I could receive 5 star service on a night that is not as busy as Valentines Day. I look forward to trying the regular menu and updating my review when I get the chance to return!

General Harvest does it again. Haerfest is the restaurant of my dreams. As an avid lover of Vendemmia, we were ecstatic to hear about the opening of Haerfest. We attended both the friends and family opening and a few months after the opening. Both times were fantastic. Very friendly servers, scrumptious food, and great cocktails and wine list. We don't live as close anymore, but I look forward to the day we return.

I visited Haerfest for the first time this week and was truly blown away. It's in unassuming location on Stone, but it's beautifully appointed inside. I love the art they've chosen. While the food is definitely Italian with a seafood focus, they're all about sourcing delicious local and season ingredients. Their Prime NY Steak is not to be missed. The potato gratin that comes with it is this laminated, crispy perfection -- no idea how they do it but I want to eat it forever. They also knock it out of the park with all things pasta and bread. The waitstaff were great and we had the good fortune of hearing from Chef Brian himself too. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Way overpriced. I got the gnocchi without the chicken. They don't know how to make gnocchi. I felt like I was eating dumplings. The sauce on it had no flavor. Very bland. The house red wine was excellent. The bread was different. Don't waste your money here. They also had a 22% fee on the receipt as well. Surprised they didn't ask for a tip.

Repeat guest at Haerfest. Wonderful new GM greeted us and we were welcomed to our seats. We had dishes in mind that we wanted to order but the staff graciously walked us through top favorites which helped us choose our final dishes. Every dish was great - bread, beef tartare, two pasta dishes, and dessert. Always love coming here - attentive staff and fresh foods. A staple for me here in Seattle!

HEADS UP: this place charges a 4% surcharge to your bill that isn not considered tip or gratuity. This grinds my gears, but I'm writing this review without that nuisance pain in mind. Eat at your discretion. *sigh* Although the aforementioned fact is still annoying and sticking with me as I write this review, this place served a delicious meal. Probably one of the better Italian restaurants I had here in Seattle. The portions are generous, and everything was so delectable and presented with such grace. I ordered the Cavatelli that came with pork jowl, and it did not disappoint. The amount of cheese was inviting, but not overpowering, and the saltiness of the pork cut through the sweetness very well. The portions were also really filling, and I felt content and satisfied and just craving more, despite being full. For the quality of food you get here, I would come back again, maybe for special date nights or something fancy. But that 4% charge was an unwelcome surprise to say the least. But based on food alone, wow, that was damn good.

Yessss just yes. I love everything about this highly hyped new restaurant in Seattle. Came in time for happy hour and got a taste of both hh and regular dinner menu. Every bite and drink was incredibly thoughtful and I am already thinking about when to come back next! From the hh menu, got the order of carrots, campanelle, and steak tartare. The campanelle was probably the favorite as it was such unique flavoring that isn't often found. I've never had charred mint in a pasta dish but it just worked. The pasta was wonderfully cooked and I could have probably eaten two bowls to myself. The steak tartare was beautifully tender and minced with fresh chives - carrots weren't an afterthought and so delicious in every bite. The steak... if you are hesitating due to the price tag, you need to get it if anything for the gratin potatoes. It's not potatoes gratin you're thinking of which is almost always a foul mush but also undercooked? These are at another level. More potato Mille-Feuille but whatever they're calling it they're delicious even if a little salty. Lastly, don't skimp on desserts because I think these are one of the most creamy and delicious tiramisu I've had in a while. Yum yum. Overall the vibes and decor are darling with amazing service. Yes they tack on the 4% surcharge that's not to the staff but by the end of the meal you'll be so delighted you'll happily pay the 4% and the standard tipping etiquette. I had one cocktail (Negroni) and glass of wine but the Negroni was probably one of the finest I've had in a while as well. Delicious food AND drinks??? Amazing. In the sea of many restaurants in Seattle, Haerfesf is super duper and you should check it out asap.

I celebrated my birthday at Haerfest and was pleasantly surprised to be seated in a private room we didn't even know existed. While the room was nice, the large window lacked curtains, allowing the sun to beam directly on us. The food was delicious, with standout dishes including the snap peas, Tonnarelli pasta, and campanelle pasta. However, the service was just average. It might have been because we were in the private room and not easily visible, but it took about 10 minutes to be greeted after being seated. Our drink order arrived before we received any water, and our entrées were served immediately after our plates were cleared without replacements. Additionally, there's a 4% charge added at the end of the bill that goes to the business rather than the staff. I think it would be better to incorporate this fee into the dish prices, as customers might tip the serving staff less due to this charge. Despite the mediocre service, I still recommend visiting Haerfest for their amazing food.

The food is phenomenal! The service is also extremely friendly and we feel welcome every time we go. I have a food allergy and the waitress is diligent to check with the chef to ensure my order is okay for me. I just love coming here and highly recommend it whether it's a date night or a family dinner out!

I love this new restaurant on Stone Way! Came here with a group of friends. You eat family style, so we ordered three pasta dishes and a few sides to share. The restaurant itself is modern and clean inside. We came on a weeknight and am glad we had reservations because the restaurant was full.

Service was excellent and food was of course fantastic. I really appreciated the portion sizes, definitely felt like we got our moneys worth and I enjoyed the leftovers we went home with just as much. Looking forward to coming back!

Second visit here. Took 12 mins once we sat down before a server greeted us which seemed strange. She apologized but didn't say what was going on. They really need window coverings in the main dining area. Had a 6:30 reservation and a lot of the dining room was wearing sunglasses being blinded by the afternoon sun. The food however, was great. Only thing that was just ok was the crudo. Pasta was outstanding. I will say I don't think the entrees are a good value. The pasta is for sure. They advertise the entrees as being shareable but they really aren't if you want a decent amount of protein. The salmon entree I think is $53 and was not enough for 2 people. Order your own protein if aren't filling up on pasta.

Ambiance 5/5 - classy joint Service 5/5- excellent Food 3/5 - we were a party of four celebrating my 36th wedding anniversary. For appetizers, we ordered snap peas (crispy and delicious) and grilled asparagus (delicious but portion was too little). For entrees, I ordered the crab pasta (hardly had any crab and it was quite tasteless), hubby had the copper river salmon which he liked (but the same order at Anthony's in Edmonds the night before tasted much better), sister had Campanelle pasta (morel mushrooms, peas, pea vine, mint - so delicious!, the best of all our meals), brother in law had cavatelli pasta (pork jowl, chili green garlic, tomato) and it tasted just ok. I was surprised that I had to ask for Parmesan cheese for my crab pasta. In fact, none of us were offered it, unlike most Italian restaurants do. The pastas were perfectly cooked but generally, I was less enthusiastic about the flavors (with the exception of the campanelle). For dessert, we ordered tiramisu (good but portion was small) and chocolate mousse cake (very good). We also ordered wine and it was good. Generally, it was an unimpressive meal.

I came here for a Timeleft dinner and had an amazing time. Service was great, and the inside is small and cozy with an exposed kitchen. The real star of the show was the food. There genuinely wasn't a dish I tried that I didn't like. The carrots and eggplant were my favorite appetizers, and the gnocchi is a must (especially if you're vegetarian). We ended the meal with tiramisu and cake (the tiramisu being my fave). I definitely would love to come back!

if you're going to charge $40 for a plate of pasta (incl tax and silly mandatory 22% tip) it better be phenomenal. Alas it is not. Bolognese had very little bolognese. Essentially a plate of lukewarm sticky spaghetti. Cozy spot, attentive service, but the food is so overpriced it's laughable. Highly recco clams app - best i've ever had.

Great new addition to the general harvest family. We had a great dinner with great drinks on a Saturday night. The pasta was a bit salty, but other than that, highly recommend this new spot in Fremont.

My friend surprised me for my birthday by taking me here and we both had a great experience overall. We were seated at the bar area but didn't mind at all since we got a view of the chefs preparing the food. We ordered the bread, seared tuna, steak, mushroom pasta, and the basil cooler. The seared tuna was yummy, with a bright and herbaceous citrus sauce. The pasta was also good but the flavor didn't surprise us. Pretty straightforward cream and cheese sauce with a bit of corn and mushrooms. Everything was delicious but the star of the show was definitely the potato gratin that accompanied the steak. The texture was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly though the sauce was a bit on the salty side. Basil cooler was also good but not memorable. The four dishes we ordered were plenty for two people. We were stuffed! We had great service while we were here and our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Also loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of the restaurant. Great spot for date night or a nice dinner with friends. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Beautiful space and every dish in the tasting menu was wonderful. Pesto was excellent, lemon sauce, tartate, the feta sauce with the delicata, the ny strip with bone marrow, the delicious mocktail paired with, those amazing crispy gratin potatoes, and even the natural honeycomb with the bread was a delight. I can go on. Hats off to the chef and the great service from Ryan - will definitely be back.

It all started with a photo. A beautiful picture of pasta led to my husband to suggest Haerfest for dinner. This lovely low key restaurant is putting out some beautiful food. Not only is it presented beautifully but the menu is creative and the portions are sufficient. Many of my past experiences with pretty food has led to wanting a burger on the way home. Not here! The service is friendly and attentive. Our server checked on us regularly but not too much. The General Manager stopped by to welcome us and engaged us in a brief conversation making us want to return for the service alone. I highly recommend this restaurant and looking forward to returning as the menu changes seasonally.

Listen, when a spot opens with a chandelier this dramatic but backs it up with food this good, you pay attention. The honey butter that comes with their bread service should be illegal, and the beef tartare with chives and shallot had me plotting my next visit before I'd even finished the first bite. The tonnarelli with beef bolognese? Let's just say I'd fight someone for the last bite. Porchetta came through with the same energy, and even their seasonal squash had me reconsidering my relationship with vegetables. Negronis and an Americano bookended the meal because sometimes you need to remind yourself you're a grown-up who makes good decisions. Hit this place on a winter night when the marble tables catch the chandelier light just right. The kind of spot that makes you glad you left your house - and your leftovers behind.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I had an unexpected dinner here this past Sunday (6/9/2024) and left quite happy and reconnected with friends I have not seen in quite some time! The story begins a day earlier, on Saturday morning, when Yelp suggestions alerted me to Haerfest as a new & popular restaurant. I had some time to kill so I started reading the reviews and they were all complimentary, effusive even. It's hard to get that level of unanimous compliments for a restaurant so of course I was intrigued. I bookmarked it for a later meal. Little did I know that my time would come SOON! The next day, Sunday, I had planned to visit a dear friend, Ms España, who I haven't seen in a while. She has had recent mobility challenges with her chronic condition, and I said I would bring dinner along. Almost right after I finished reading the Haerfest reviews, she sent a text asking if I would mind going out instead, as her doctor and her mental state needed to re-engage and get out of her isolation. I was thrilled and knew just the place as it was not far from her condo in Greenlake. I picked her up, and her hubby (Mr President) met us at the restaurant directly from a personal appointment. My sister, who lives only a few blocks away, ended up joining us after putting her little (cute) monsters to bed. When we walked in for our reservation, the hostess started walking us to our table bypassing all the empty 4-tops in the airy, open dining room and instead leading us down a hallway past the bathrooms. I was a little worried about where this was going but, like a lamb to slaughter, I followed her. She led us to a beautiful but simple and elegantly decorated Private Dining Room (PDR), which felt quite fancy for our non-special occasion meal. It was lovely! I knew right away that I wanted the bread service ($13) with my drink after seeing the incredible professional looking pictures posted by other Yelpers! Bread is my weakness. I ordered a glass of sparkling rose ($15; Tirridis, Washington State) to go with said bread service. It came out with servings of 3 different types of bread, housemade (focaccia, brioche, and sourdough) and a ramekin of big pieces of a delicious honey butter. While I was too busy eyeing & photographing the breadaganza, I think she said something along the lines of in-house honeycombs but I'm not sure. Ms España ordered a glass of red Botonero Nebbiolo ($16; Italy), and Mr President did a glass of red blend Lorelle ($13; Washington State) STARTER(S): After getting our drinks, and munching on the warm & yummy bread, we settled into perusing the menu and making some decisions. I was intrigued by the half dozen oysters, which Mr President was happy to share with me-- thank god, as I didn't ask what the MP was, and it turned out to be $29! (Hello Seattle inflation, yikes!) MAINS: At this point we were figuring out how to proceed and ended up deciding to each order a different pasta and do family style. Ms España is a pescatarian and was undecided between the two vegetarian pasta choices -- ricotta gnocchi ($26; pesto, pine nuts, arugula) & campanelle ($29; morel mushrooms, sweet corn, pea vines, mint) so I ordered the second one so we could all try both. Mr President opted for the Tonnarelli ($28; beef bolognese, sage, parmesan). Sister arrived after we placed our orders but before the food arrived and was able to try a little of each as well. Her drink of choice was the Garden Party cocktail ($16; gin, maraschino liqueur, lime, basil, cucumber, rose water, soda) which she enjoyed enough to order a second. Mine & Ms España's second drink were the same as her first, the nebbiolo. There was plenty of food and we took home leftovers that were delicious the next day! It was a hard to pick a favorite but I think it was the campanelle for me- what could go wrong with mushrooms and a creamy white sauce?? This was the kind of place where I could easily see myself returning to try some of the other things on the menu, it was very difficult to decide since everything sounded amazing (and I'm sure WAS!) DESSERT: I couldn't leave without trying dessert, there were only 3 on the menu so I chose the Tiramisu since everyone left the decision up to me. One pull-me-up & 4 spoons please! Light, spongy, not too sweet -- it was perfection! SERVICE: Miles was excellent- friendly, joking, but sensing that we had a lot to catch up on and the conversation was flowing. I sensed him peeking in from time to time to look but unless he saw that we were missing something, didn't interrupt us which I appreciated. This brings me to my only warning of the night - a 4% mandatory surcharge on the bill, and NOT towards gratuity. Now I am ALL for livable wages but I'm not sure why it can't be absorbed in the menu costs. I'd love for restaurants to make bill paying amongst friends just a little easier instead of having to do this much math at the end of a lovely night where I was enjoying the gentle buzz of my 2 glasses of vino!

Newer restaurant that seems to be in the same class as Ethan Stowell places like Tavolata and Red Cow. Doing a solid job of delivering at the same level as Tavolata (the Stone Way location is just a block or two down the street) without really standing out in any way. One improvement over Tavolata - to continue the comparison - is that Haerfest isn't playing background music at foreground level, which is better for conversation and less sensory overload. The wait staff were competent, not teenagers, and the food prepared with care. Though not a stand out, I'd return here and give it another try.

The bartender was great. He was welcoming and made a damn good dirty martini. The not so great; food and service. One dish was overwhelmingly acidic. We were told that everyone has different tastebuds. I agree with that statement. One was extremely over salted. We didn't mention that. I don't like leaving negative reviews. However, I hope it's useful enough to make positive adjustments. I would definitely come back again. Even if only to see if the food stands up to the reviews left previous to mine.

There needs to be a .3 .4 system because this place is probably a 4.1 - 4.2 in my book. The big thing is they're going to be getting much better; clearly working hard on the food, drink, and strong team environment

This is the second time we've eaten here. The food was amazing. The ambiance and inside was cozy, modern, and comfortable. We had heard good reviews about the place but we were still surprised by just how good this place is. I saved the service for last because it was heads and tails above many great places we've visited. Maybe some of the best service we've had (both visits). So attentive, helpful, and recommendations were superb. Everything from delightful appetizers to astonishing main courses. Beautiful Italian inspired dishes. I usually don't write a review but this place deserves a review, it was so outstanding. We can't wait to come back many more times with friends. Well worth the trip for us from Bellevue.

This latest restaurant from Brian Clevenger is awesome. I love Autumn, but Haerfest is a sexier, more sophisticated version. The space is just beautiful with high ceilings, a central, open kitchen, and ambience to spare. The food was even more delicious than usual. My husband and I had the butter lettuces and snap peas to start. The salad was cool and refreshing while the snap peas (which were sautéed with pea vines) were warm and savory yet still crisp-tender. Next up were the pasta dishes - paccheri with prawns and cavatelli with pork jowl. The cavatelli sauce was slight spicy which worked well with the pork, but the prawn paccheri was the star of the night! Perfectly cooked pasta with tender prawns in a silky sauce? Yes, please! Our last savory course was the black cod with creamed nettles. The first thing I noticed was the impeccably crisp skin, then I dug down into the incredibly moist flesh. I don't know how it's possible to have these two things coexist on the same piece of fish. Wouldn't the moisture of the flesh soften the skin? Seems like the fish was more moist on this plate than it ever was swimming around in the ocean. Wonders do still exist. Our final dish of the night was the chocolate mousse cake. It was the perfect ending to a stellar meal. As for service, we were spoiled by our waiter, Miles, and the bartender who wasn't supposed to be bartending tonight. Didn't seem like it was a stretch for the dude, because our drinks (Basil Cooler and Toucan Sam Ross) were spot on. This dapper fellow (who resembled a younger Gary Oldman) was kind enough to offer us some complimentary Amaro to go with our chocolate cake. It was an unexpectedly great pairing! I may have to drink Amaro every time I have chocolate cake now. My only regret tonight was not taking more photos. I'll rectify that the next time we come back which will be very soon!

Another great restaurant from this incredible restaurant group. I can't say enough about how fresh and thoughtfully prepared each dish was. The kitchen and chefs were on point with every item we had. And the service was exceptional. Everyone worked above and beyond to make sure that we had an incredible dining experience. A great addition to Stoneway.

So delicious! We decided to try out Haerfest expecting this new restaurant to still be working out some kinks, but they are on fire and ready for it! My husband and I agreed this was one of the best meals we've had in Seattle. Don't wait - go! We shared the Paccheri and Campanelle pasta dishes - both were absolutely delightful and perfectly paired. We then we split the Black Cod, which was expertly prepared en papillote with clams and prawns in gorgeous seafood stock sauce and just melted in my mouth. We also really enjoyed our cocktails. I had the El Chamuco and my husband chose the Old Faithful. Our server said they're starting the tasting menu this week, so we cannot wait to go back for that!

The service and general vibe was incredible, as was the food. I think i had the best steak I've ever had at Haerfest. The new GM is so awesome and fun, i would highly recommend Haerfest!!

Haerfest offers a modern ambiance that's stylish and welcoming, though the space can feel a bit crowded at peak times, which slightly detracts from the experience. Service is friendly and nice. The menu is surprisingly limited, which can be disappointing if you're looking for variety. While the dishes are flavorful, the quality doesn't quite justify the premium price. There are plenty of Italian options out there, don't waste your money here...

Food was ok - certain pastas and starters (carrots) amazing, some not so great which could've been due to sitting (2 of our pastas were luke warm). Reason for 3 star more due to service - was slow and chaotic. Would potentially give another try but not for at least a year as they still need to work out timing / menu options / general decent service.

Dishes were on the salty side and were somehow still mild in flavor. Service was excellent with a nice ambiance. Not quite worth the hype. The 4% additional charge was annoying at the end.

Absolutely top 3 restaurants in Seattle. Fresh oysters, spectacular beef tartare, and homemade pasta with amazing sauce. Great for date night and all occasions. Service was attentive and the prices are reasonable. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant.

A group of us was there last week celebrating two of our friends' engagement and our dining experience was spectacular! I coordinated with David beforehand, who was so responsive and accommodating - he went above and beyond in making our evening special! All the staff were superb during our visit and the food was amazing. We tried just about every pasta dish on the menu and each one was uniquely divine. This is now a new favorite on our list and we will be back!

Top notch cuisine in a beautiful space. The oysters tasted like the sea, the tuna was delicious, and the fresh bread rounded out the appetizer course. The pasta was devine, loved the pesto gnocchi. And the tiramisu is to die for! Can't wait to return.

I would say 5 stars for the food and a 3.5 for the inside. It's plain inside but the food was so good. Drinks, apps, and every entree was delicious. Carrots and crab pasta were the favs but the oysters were also good. Service was good.

The food and the service were amazing. Had an amazing time with my girlfriend. She asked for the half grill chicken and she loved it. Even said that it was the best chicken she had in a long time. We will definitely come back again, the atmosphere of the place was delightful!

We celebrated an anniversary here. The food is really amazing. The service is on top of it from beginning to end. Two dishes in we thought of friends we would recommend the restaurant to. Order lots of appetizers and have them recommend you cocktails. We had a great night.

Utterly flawless - menu gives off an Autumn vibe and is as delicious. The differentiator is the phenomenal space, all bathed in western light. The gnocchi was some of the best I've ever had! Desserts also perfection. Can't wait to go back!
