Great spot for excellent food near the waterfront/Pike Place area. The self service kiosk was easy to navigate, and the food arrived fairly quickly. Ample seating on a weekday at lunchtime.nThe “bread boat” itself was outstanding. Delicious flavors (I got the stroganoff- lovely mushroomy/onion tasting) and the chewy bread crust was especially yummy. Great little gem of a restaurant that’s only slightly off the beaten path.

I'd never had khachapuri before (nor any Georgian) food, but the pictures of these looked absolutely divine.nI can confirm it lives up to the imagesnnAn adjaruli khachapuri is a bread boat with a lot of cheese - that's then baked and an egg yolk and butter are added. If that sounds really good, you should know it tastes very good as well. After some internal debate, I got the spinach version.nnThis is just a fantastic concept. The bread boat perfectly encapsulates everything, making it so easy to tear off a piece and dip it in the center. Because of how its baked perfectly, the internal area is neither too liquidy nor too hard; on the contrary, it's gooey and hot. At first, I was worried that tearing off a last-barrier piece would result in the cheese flowing onto the plate, but instead it oozed out of the opening slowly and gently.nnSometimes food isn't complicated. When you have a lot of cheese, egg yolk, and butter - it's basically impossible for it not to taste good. But you can overdo it sometimes, and they did a great job with the restraint here - nothing is excessive. The spinach also really helps tone down the fattiness of everything else with a grassy flavor.nI could honestly eat the bread by itself. Even it was great.nnThe only minor complaint I have is that it could've used a little more salt, but that's about it. I'd be really excited to try the meat-based versions of this dish the next time I come here.nnFor around $17, this is a little expensive - but it's also very filling as a lunchnnThis clearly is a case where a restaurant that only makes one thing has basically perfected that dish.nnOverall, a highly unique and satisfying comfort food that I'm very happy to show people to. 8.75/10

Georgian spot serving khachapuri (something like baked bread boats). The classic one is cheese, butter, and soft egg yolk, which is my favorite but also tried the veggie and beef-stroganoff options.nThe food is ideal for winter nights, the meal is hot and comforting, though a bit heavy for my taste.nThe atmosphere is very casual with limited seating, so takeout is an excellent option

Absolutely delicious. The bread was so warm and soft. The cheese and spinach was comforting. The butter was abundant. Everything was just perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I got mine without the yolk, and I was happy with my experience.🥰

Been here a bunch at the recommendation of my Russian wife. This place is too die for. Any bad reviews are just people being picky.n-Amazing foodn-Friendly Servicen-Fast when busyn-Very cleannnThis place can get packed at times and for good reason; worth the wait. I'm also vegetarian, great veggie option as well as meat options.
