How To Cook A Wolf Madison Park

Came here during Seattle restaurant week for dinner. Service was very nice. We ordered the sourdough bread in addition and it was soo good, I could have eaten another plateful of it. Probably the best part of our meal. The rest of the dishes we tried were a little underwhelming, especially the mains. The chocolate hazelnut cake was too 'less sweet ' for my taste and could have done with just a tad bit more sugar.

The Queen Anne How to Cook a Wolf location is one of my husband and I's favorite restaurants so we wanted to check out the Madison Park location still one of our favorite restaurants in the Seattle area!If you are even thinking about eating here, make a reservation asap!! The restaurant isn't huge but they also have a good number of outside tables as well. This location (like the Queen Anne one) also has street parking throughout so allot plenty of time to find parking before your reservation time.On to the food...:1) Sea Wolf Sourdough Bread is bread...but something about the fennel honey butter they give you to spread on the bread just makes it extremely tasty.2) Foie Gras Mousse By far my most favorite dish at either How to Cook a Wolf locations. I practically licked the plate clean! The mousse was so rich and the pomegranate fruit flavor adds an extra zing to the flavor.3) Burrata This was a very refreshing vegetable dish!4) Wagyu Beef Carpaccio I wasn't able to eat this since I was pregnant so my husband had to eat the entire dish himself, but he thoroughly enjoyed this meat dish. He took some of the Sourdough and actually ate it with the beef.5) Pasta (forget what this one was officially called) We ordered an asparagus and mushrooms pasta and oh my goodness. Even though I was so full from the other dishes, I still mustered up enough stomach space to have some lovely bites of this pasta. Even though it was pasta, it still felt light!How To Cook a Wolf is a MUST EAT! I still highly recommend going to either location with a bigger group so you can try even more dishes (their style is family style).

Amazing atmosphere, surprisingly large portions, and delicious drinks.

All of the food is quite well made here, and the pastas are very good. Ordered the broccoli, carpaccio, crudo, 2 pastas, and the duck for 2 and it was around $100 a person without alcohol. The pricing adds up rather quickly here without some careful planning, but we did definitely order more food than 2 people necessarily need as we intended to have some leftovers.

This is EASILY my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Whenever we have a special occasion or want to take an out-of-town visitor to an incredible dinner, we choose How to Cook a Wolf.From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by attentive and friendly staff. Always make sure to have a reservation, as this place is popular and for good reason.The menu is seasonal and provides fresh farm-to-table options. It's really hard to go wrong here. Plates are generally meant to be shared so everyone gets a taste of a bit of everything. I also think it's a great way to keep conversation going at the table as well.I really don't know how to say enough about the service. Their team is comprised of the highest caliber people. These are obviously members of the service industry who do this as their passionate profession and love what they do. It's so nice to go to a place where this is obviously their standard. Rare to find nowadays.The atmosphere is just impressive. The wood slats that continue up the wall in a curve give it an almost ship-like feel. I highly recommend sitting outside as well. The weather doesn't have to cooperate, as the stalls they've created in the courtyard area have space heaters and are very comfortable even in the rain.If you haven't been here before, make sure you go. It's not just dinner, it's an experience that you will not soon forget. I also believe the level of experience you get for the price is unmatched.
