“ We had our 10 year cousin reunion here! Thanks, Kiel Whitney, for recommending it! It was outside our normal brunch lunch spots but we loved it. It makes sense why it’s been on the award lists(James Beard). We had a fantastic time, with fantastic service! On reviews, people might say it’s pricey...but it’s worth it! ”

“ 10 stars! Food is next-level delicious. We absolutely loved the smoked Halibut dip, roast chicken, gnocchi & Washington Halibut entree warm zucchini bread dessert - all absolutely fabulous! Friendly service, great espresso martini & cute table in the patio - the best! ”

“ Wonderful dining experience at The Whale Wins! Very similar ambiance and experience to The Walrus and Carpenter in Ballard, without the oysters. We loved the family style ordering so that we could try several things on the menu that were all fantastic and carefully crafted. Our server coursed our picks out for us and was very attentive and kind, even going out of her way to make our anniversary dinner special. Cocktails were all a hit, so much so that I had to try all four that they had on their menu, and the servers champagne choice was delicious as well. They even have a little storefront right by the entrance of the restaurant that you walk past if you use their restroom. Carrying things from locally made gelato, craft beers, wines, to kitchen ingredients and merchandise from the restaurant. We couldn’t help but grab a few things on our way out. Ill definitely be curious to come back in the future to try any new menu items and I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the Fremont area looking for a good meal. ”

“ The Whale Wins offers a modern yet cozy dining environment with a clean and inviting atmosphere.

The space itself was stylish and well-maintained, with an ambiance that is both relaxed and chic. The service was quick and efficient, and the meal was perfectly paced. I highly recommend The Whale Wins for anyone looking for a great spot to enjoy excellent food and service. ”

“ Chan Seattle provides an intimate and inviting space that immediately puts you at ease. The restaurant was impeccably clean, and the service was outstanding. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu and offer helpful recommendations. She checked in just the right amount and made sure we were well taken care of without hovering. The atmosphere is relaxed yet modern, making it a great spot for any occasion. The quality of both the service and the ambiance makes Chan Seattle a place I would love to visit again. ”

“ To start, I have got to say that I had one of the best dining experiences at The Whale Wins. The entire serving staff went above and beyond what was needed or required to give a wonderful dining experience. They were able to answer any question, help with allergy and dietary restrictions, as well as suggestion great food. The food itself was great, as to expect from this restaurant. The shareable plates were all unique, fresh, and thoughtfully plated. My significant other tried the half chicken, and it was the best chicken she has ever had. I have no idea how they were able to cook the chicken so tender. I would recommend getting a reservation a few days out in advanced as it can get busy on the weekends. ”

“ Amazing service and very quaint atmosphere. Highly recommend. Ps. the Gnocchi is too die for! ”

“ i loved the dining setting here in the summertime, with the outdoor patio area and the tiffany blue color scheme. the interior is well-lit and beautifully decorated with wine bottles. friendly and attentive service. the ingredients are primarily locally-sourced and the menu is cohesive. i loved the chicken pate as well as the summer squash, ur was not the biggest fan of using chips as the vehicle for the halibut dip. the pork shoulder was fried on the outside, which i was not a fan of, but the inside was juicy and tender. while it paired well with the nectarine, there was honestly as much nectarine as there was meat. indifferent to the clams, which could’ve been more flavorful. in my opinion bread should be served without asking. overall, appetizers were great but i thought the mains could be better, given how high my expectations were. ”
