" Fantastic experience! The food at L'Oursin was not only flavorful but beautifully presented. Each dish looked like a piece of art. The cocktail menu was unique and fun; I had a lavender gin drink that was refreshing! I’d highly recommend this place for any special occasion or just as a treat to yourself. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found L'Oursin charming with its bistro feel. The crab fritters stole the show, but I was slightly disappointed with my main. The service was friendly, if a bit slow during peak hours. I would suggest checking the menu beforehand since they change items frequently, and I'd love to see more vegetarian selections. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was the perfect place for a birthday dinner! My friends and I were all impressed by the creativity of the food, especially the scallops, which were incredibly tender. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. I can't wait to return for the special events they often host. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at L'Oursin is quite the experience, though I found the menu a bit limited for my taste. I tried their duck confit which was satisfactory, beautifully cooked but lacking a unique twist. The service was delightful, as the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Overall, a pleasant evening but I hope to see more daring dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming bistro! The setup is rustic and charming, and the servers are polished and attentive. I particularly loved their seasonal scallop starter. However, I felt the main dishes were a bit bland when compared to the starters. It’s clear they focus on presentation and some elements were wonderful, but there’s room for improvement in the flavors. I would give it another shot based on the wonderful ambiance alone!

" L'Oursin has quickly become one of my go-to spots in Seattle. They have a fantastic selection of natural wines and their small plates are amazing for sharing! I love that the chef focuses on local ingredients. I tried the crab fritters which were crispy and flavorful. Just a heads up, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality justifies it in my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfectly suitable for a romantic dinner. I was particularly impressed by the escargot; it was cooked to perfection, bold in flavor, and paired wonderfully with their house-made bread. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I can't wait to return for another amazing meal! " (*Curated Review*)
