"An intimate gem tucked in the Georgetown neighborhood, the Corson Building was once an elegant private home, now serves as a restaurant, and would make for wedding photos that will make all your old middle school bullies sick. Just sayin’. The seasonal menus here are fantastic and the staff will coordinate your event with you (including facilitating the rental of sound equipment). Do note, though, that the 80-seat-capacity space is in a covered/heated outdoor area, so it may not be ideal for weddings in the rainy season." - Harry Cheadle
"How Far In Advance Should You Book? Week-of should be enough time, if you don’t mind outdoor tables—plan at least two weeks ahead to eat inside. We used to see nothing but red circles while making a reservation line for this Georgetown special occasion spot. But now you can have your pick of times for tables in the enclosed outdoor area, which is lovely in warmer months. Just stay on your toes during prime wedding season, since it’s still a popular place for private parties." - gabe guarente
"A Georgetown destination offering intricate six-course prix fixe meals that showcase meticulous ingredient-focused cooking in an intimate setting." - Eater Staff
"Few restaurants in Seattle transport you out of your everyday life the way the Corson Building does. Part of that is the setting — it’s an owld stone cottage sparsely but elegantly decorated, with a garden and large patio that’s heated in colder months. You could be in New Orleans, you could be on a past-its-prime Italian estate; you’re definitely not in Seattle. The food from co-owner Emily Crawford Dann lives up to the surroundings. The ever-changing menu (mostly prix fixe, though you can get a la carte meals here on Thursdays) highlights seasonal vegetables while always having enough meat to satisfy carnivores. Main courses like scallops in brown butter and walnut sauce are sensational, but you can also trust the Corson Building to create unique, perfectly balanced salads. Come here if you love to be surprised and delighted. Good for: Romantic evenings." - Harry Cheadle
"You might not expect to find one of the most romantic spots in Seattle under a highway near some train tracks and a baseball diamond, but that’s exactly where the Corson Building is. This restaurant in an early-20th-century home has everything you could possibly want for celebrating a relationship milestone: candles, a garden veranda with string lights, excellent service, a fancy American menu that changes daily, and a Sunday tasting menu. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but they also host weddings here." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
