Seattle | Ascend Rooftop Restaurant

🍹 I ordered a pineapple cocktail—refreshing and light. The next table had a cocktail served under a glass cloche with smoky wood aromas 🌫️. Would love to try that next time! 🦪 For starters, we tried the oyster shot. The presentation was creative, but the taste was underwhelming—overstuffed with seafood and not as satisfying as uni at other spots. 🦢 The recommended foie gras was overly rich, served with a waffle 🧇 underneath. 🥖 The Bread Service stood out! One of the most thoughtful bread assortments I’ve had. The chive-flavored puff was my favorite. 🍴 For mains, we had the venison and scallops. Both were just okay—the scallops were slightly overcooked, and my friend thought the venison tasted like “beef in disguise” (a first-time try for us 😂). 🍄 Side dishes: fries and mushrooms. The mushrooms were extremely salty—almost numbing to the tongue 😭. 🍰 Dessert was the mushroom-themed chocolate mousse in a little jar, layered with chocolate crumbles and berry mousse. We got the small portion, which was just sweet enough without being cloying. #SeattleLife #SeattleDaily #Seattle #SeattleFood #RestaurantShare #GalleryRestaurant #DateNight#Ascend
