Lonely Planet review for Black Bottle

The huge crowd congregating outside the front door of this new Belltown restaurant is your first clue that something interesting is happening inside. The menu has a lot more clues: octopus carpaccio, lemon-caper-squid salad, saffron risotto cakes, eggplant-mozzarella flatbread. It’s a spartanly decorated but warm-looking space, with friendly service and a chic atmosphere. Reservations are accepted, and might be a good idea if you want to avoid a wait.

    Nice atmosphere, lovely small plates options that are big enough to share. Beautiful bar and big open space. Good place to bring a date.

    Great nibble-and-sip place

    whiskysix recommends this,

    Some standard uber-modern restaurant cool is in evidence here in the bare
    brick walls, and lower-case lettering on the menu, plus the occasional goateed scenester among the clientele. The food, location and ambience combine to make a few hours here a great way to spend an evening.

    At $9-12 each the mains are not expensive. That gives you the option to assemble an eclectic fusion version of tapas, instead of the traditional appetizer/entree/dessert.

    The excellent French Country flatbread comes with soft cheese, nicoise olives and sauteed leeks and is an excellent starter for your table. Roasted vegetables verjus and chicken laab gai (diced chicken sauteed with vegetables and herbs served in lettuce leaves) are also eminently sharable.

    Couple the food with a few pints of the local Manny's Pale Ale on tap and
    some good conversation, and you can't go wrong.

    We came down from Victoria, BC a few times last year specifically to have dinner here.
