84 Yesler: Where Hot Dishes Shine in Seattle 🦹🏻♀️
Taking a friend out for a farewell dinner at 84 Yesler turned into a surprisingly delightful experience 🍽️ While the service was a bit too attentive (new plates for every course?!), the food itself was a rollercoaster of flavors - with the hot dishes being absolute standouts 🔥 Must-Try Hot Dishes 🦪 Foie Gras (Heavenly!) A perfect balance of richness and elegance - the crisp brioche held a molten core of duck liver, balanced by a tart fruit compote 🍯 The "cloud cotton candy" presentation was a fun touch, melting into a crispy sugar shell 🐟 Smoked Salmon (Ocean's Kiss) The seaweed-cured salmon brought unexpected umami depth 🌊 The paper-thin crispy skin gave way to perfectly silky fish, served with a light dill cream 🥩 Beef Wellington (Masterclass) A show-stopping dish where every element shined: Earthy mushroom duxelles Savory ham layer Flaky, golden puff pastry The clever lettuce barrier kept the crust crisp - genius move 🥬 Interesting Dessert 🍮 Rhubarb Dessert (Playful Presentation) A deconstructed panna cotta with: A delicate rhubarb sugar shell A mysterious powdery topping that melted like snow ⛄ Fun to eat but felt more like a molecular gastronomy experiment than a classic dessert What Didn't Work 🥗 Cold Dishes The pickled items were way too aggressive - their acidity overpowered everything else 😬 Ambiance The space itself is undeniably beautiful - modern elegance with just the right amount of whimsy 🌟 #SeattleDining #84YeslerExperience #HotDishHeroes #FineDiningSeattle #FoieGrasHeaven #BeefWellingtonPerfection #FoodieAdventures #PacificNorthwestEats #RestaurantReview #DinnerDateSpot
