Luso Food And Wine

Great food, great ambiance, one of the coolest spots I've been to in a while. The cocktails were next level, too. Don't come for a fancy evening. We went on a Saturday, it was VERY busy and a bit chaotic, but in a good way. Come for a lively evening, with a communal vibe and delicious food, like they do in Pair-eeeee!

The French Dip with Gruyere was the best I've had since moving to Seattle. Maybe the best I've had ever. The French Onion Au Jus was absolutely heavenly. A perfect blend of savory with just the right amount of sweet from the onions. The fries were perfect with a crispy outside and a creamy potato center sprinkled with a delicious seasoned salt topping. Would absolutely recommend.

Food was overcooked, which resulted in a tough exterior of the duck, making it difficult to eat. Butternut Squash was creamy and delicious. Bread was perfectly toasted with butter. Beet salad was so so. I sat down at the bar and observed that the chef actually burned much food, not just mine. I guess some people don’t notice or mind, the food was still eatable. I won’t go back and the restaurant is overrated.

The vibes here were great. It felt very moody and they had decent happy hour options. The menu is extremely limited, as someone with a gluten allergy my only entree option was the duck confit. I wasnt given the option of adjusting an entree to accomodate my allergy. The duck confit was fine, nothing to write home about. And my boyfriend felt the same about his burger. The server wasn't the most informed, she didn't have a clue what ciders they had when my boyfriend asked about their selection. Friends of ours really like this place, but I wouldn't be in a rush to go back.

Hands down the best French onion soup in Seattle, no questions. Place is always packed so be prepared to wait outside if you show up during peak hours. May need to share a table with others. Bar seating is usually our go to. Not your fine dining experience but the food is superb! Tried the poutine frites with mushroom gravy - absolutely delicious. A lot going on in this small space so don’t expect an intimate quiet date. Great weekend spot for an adult beverage and high quality food.
