" At first glance, L'Oursin seemed grand, but my meal didn’t match my expectations. The wine selection was remarkable, but the beef tartare fell flat, tasting far too vinegary for enjoyment. The staff did their best and were very kind, but the food was merely satisfactory. I might return for their cocktails but would steer clear of the lamb. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable dining experience at L'Oursin! Every bite of my meal was fantastic, especially the duck dish! The servers were very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The cozy environment felt just right for a date night, and I was genuinely impressed with my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is definitely the kind of place you want to visit for a special occasion. The food is meticulously prepared, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I was particularly amazed by the versatility of the menu, which still stays true to classic French techniques. I had the chicken with morels, which was sublime. Highly recommend if you are a fan of French cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was pretty average. The food came out slow and wasn’t anything special, which is a disappointment considering the hype around this place. The service was pleasant, but it didn’t make up for the subpar food. I think I’d prefer trying a different restaurant on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was fortunate to go to L'Oursin during their prix fixe night. Each dish was a work of art! The appetizer set the stage for the rest of the meal, and I adored every single course. The wine pairing was done expertly, adding to the overall experience. Staff were attentive and filled with knowledge about each dish. This place is everything I look for in a fine-dining experience without being pretentious! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
