Update: I came here again and was once again impressed by the high quality service and great meal! I can't recommend this place enough!

What an excellent experience! There is no question why this place has such a high rating. They really nailed it in every aspect. The dining and bar area is beautiful albeit small, with an interesting style and decor, balancing comfort and class. There’s a good selection of whiskeys and other drinks to kick off your meal and the bartender is extremely knowledgeable. He answered questions about whiskey that a professional sommelier couldn’t and was nice enough to pour a few small samples to better explain. The charcuterie was great as well as the deviled eggs with pork belly. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the chef came out to make sure everything was right and chat for a bit. It was evident that the entire staff loved their jobs and excelled at delivering to the highest standards. This was the best restaurant experience in recent memory. I will plan to come here every time I’m in town and I’m excited to show this place to more friends.

Wow, we were blown away by the quality food, wine, hospitality and service at this upscale yet cozy bar close to the Seattle Convention Center.
We stopped by during happy hour and were treated like family: the owners ( husband and wife) were so warm and friendly
We shared a caesar salad, deviled eggs and a flatbread with smoked salmon, cheese, tomato and arugula. All were freshly made and delicious. The flatbread was a standout. All washed down with a crisp floral Washington state reisling.
We also enjoyed the choice of music playing on the sound system.
Highly recommend The Raven!

I stumbled in here after work one day and am so glad to have come across this hidden gem! Wonderful place to find and truly has a unique intimate vibe you can’t find anywhere in Seattle. Portions are generous and food is tasty as well.Service is great and you can see the passion and pride the owner takes in his restaurant.
