List - Seattle

Came here on a Monday night with my mom while visiting Seattle and had a pleasant dining experience. Apparently, both Sunday and Monday all day are happy hour, and so the food items were half off. They are small plates that are good for sharing, so I recommend coming with another person and ordering a variety. We ordered four items that felt like just the right amount for two people to split: the Caesar salad, gnocchi, clams and the steak paired with a cocktail (which are on the stronger side) all were delicious! They only had one dessert, a hazelnut ice cream with a warm chocolate cake, and it was amazing! The restaurant is quite small and dark, so I'm not sure about coming with a large group, but I definitely recommend it for a night out for two!

Tried List Restaurant for their happy hour.Interestingly, they ask for ID when you enter. Happy hour is 50% off everything on the food menu. Beware, tip options start at 20%. Plum blossom $10.00 USD) Grilled octopus salad, citrus emulsion $10.00 USD) my favourite dish of the night. Octopus was tender and nicely charred. Handmade gnocchi, black truffle cream $10.00 USD) gnocchi was soft, not too rich with the slightest truffle note. Seared ahi tuna, lentils, ginger sauce $10.00 USD) disappointing. Lentils and spinach were bland. Ahi tuna was overcooked and flavourless. Local fresh clams, white wine broth, plum tomato puree $10.00 USD) decent portion but a couple clams weren't washed properly. Broth lacked depth.Decent but nothing to warrant a return visit.

Dined in on a Thursday night with a friend for the late night happy hour. Our server, Sandy, is delightful extraordinarily attentive. Her professionalism being personable was the highlight of the eveningThe Happy Hour food list being 50% off standard prices is fantastic. I had the Rigatoni with wild mushroom cream minced garlic. It's good, but it would be even better with the seasoning punched up a bit more sauceThree stars for the atmosphere solely because it is too dimly lit for my liking. The ambiance is nice, a lounge-like feel. However, the darkness made it difficult to read the menuThere is a 3% BOH [back of house] fee automatically added to the bill. When paying, the default option to tip is 22% with buttons on either side of 20% or 25%. A custom tip option is also available

The only thing that really stood out as fantastic was the truffle gnocchi! I’d go back in a heartbeat for that gnocchi. Super creamy and the balance of truffle is superb. We tried the meatballs and salmon, but they were pretty basic and nothing to write home about.

I hesitate to tell people how good List is because the wait is already sometimes long but IT'S WORTH IT! Everything on the menu is delicious! Go during happy hour, which is all day some days. Eaten here many times. RECOMMEND!!Parking: It's Belltown so parking can take a minute to find but you won't regret it!
