Sapphire Kitchen and Bar

[dccd]

I have come across this place and seen a couple of pictures on the web. Can't seem to come across a menu or a detailed review.

Do any of you have any information? I would greatly appreciate any feedback...

The place sounds interesting.

Edited: It is located in Seattle - Queen Anne Blvd if I am not mistaken...

Thanks in advance,

I haven't been in two years - used to like their brunch, thought much less of the dinners. Rumored to have quite the late night traffic - drinking and hot bodies.

i had dinner there once - unimpressive food and service. definitely a singles bar feel to it.

I would agree with tsquare (although I haven't been in about 3 years since we're out of state for graduate school.) It's on upper QA right on Queen Anne Avenue.

When I lived on QA I use to eat here quite often. We really liked the food and the atmosphere during dinner.

They changed owners about a year ago and the menu has changed some. We've only been once since then and it was good. It has a nice mix of mediterian and Northwest flavors.

They have an early dining special and use to have wine Tuesdays. I'd check it out if I were you..... especially if you are on QA

when this place first opened, they had some stellar food. I remember a vegetable cassoulet that was totally knocked out. I remember a salmon dish with braised greens and garlic mashers that made me want to come back the next day and have it again. And there were various other dishes I had in the beginning that were really quite good. Homey comfort food type good, but with a creative edge. They seems to have lost that, even before the sale. I haven't been there since the sale so can't comment on it currently. Just thought I'd wax poetic about its delish beginnings!

I hadn't realized they had new owners, but in any case, the chef (Leonard Rede) hasn't changed.

oh really? well that's one thing I was wondering... glad to hear he's still there. maybe I need to go back

I think Leonard bought it from the other people.
