The Corson Building

This was our second time at the restaurant, and the food consistently blew us away. Their dishes are super unique, using all sorts of different ingredients. For example, the pork shoulder had roasted cherries and hazelnuts that gave it a slightly nutty and sweet flavor. The service is really friendly. I asked about each dish and where they get their ingredients, and the server kindly told me everything is local or made in-house. I've eaten both inside and on the patio. Inside feels like rustic farm dining, while the patio is like sitting right outside that rustic farm. I prefer sitting inside because it's more intimate. There is limited parking space. When we got to the restaurant around 5:40, there was maybe 2-3 spots left in front of the restaurant.

The Corson Building is a great spot for special occasions in Seattle. Set in a charming old house in Georgetown, it has a warm, romantic, almost countryside feel that makes you feel away from the city. The food focuses on seasonal ingredients and feels refined without being overly formal. It is a bit pricey, and the menu can be limited, so it is not ideal for a quick casual meal. Overall, it is more of a memorable dining experience, perfect for a date night, anniversary, or small gathering.

This was a disappointing meal to spend on for $310 for two people. DO NOT come here for the Sunday set course. If you know how to cook, you’ll understand how mediocre the food is compared to the price. - the cup was obviously still dirty (see photo) - The only good dish was the soup/appetizer. The cauliflower bacon soup was yummy, and they gave some crackers with dip on the side that was also good, reminded me of a red pepper cheese dip from Trader Joe’s - the second dish was a very bitter salad, so bitter that I didn’t want to eat it but then remembered it costs each person $150 to sit there to eat it. - the third dish was the chicken which legitimately reminded me of the $5 Costco rotisserie chicken but seasoned with dill, and includes grains on the side. This chicken was quite dry too. - the fourth dish is an apple pie with whipped cream, which also reminded me of something I could get from Costco You tell me if this meal sounds like it’s worth $150? All in all, one of the most disappointing meals I ever had, especially because it was for a birthday. I wish I had cooked at home or booked a different restaurant. I wanted to check out this place since there were weddings held here, but will never come back again, there was nothing special with the dishes that elicits that price I’m giving two stars because at least the ambiance was cute

Quite possibly my favorite dining experience in America. The Corson Building is an oasis. It feels like family the moment you walk in. The staff is so friendly and the food is inspiring (photos don’t do it justice). The wine pairing was an added bonus. I wish I knew about The Corson Building back when I was looking for wedding venues. Can’t wait to get back!

Corson was an interesting dinner with friends on a weeknight. The service throughout was phenomenal - helpful and informative with great suggestions. The menu itself was a bit more limited than I expected but we were able to find dishes for our mixed requirements party (vegetarian, etc.) The dishes overall I thought ranged from only okay to rather good - but nothing blew me away flavors wise. The best bites were for sure the confit halibut, but I found most other bites needing more flavor and spice. The ice cream dessert however was just unappetizing - not sure what happened there. For the price and effort to snag a reservation, I expected more remarkable flavors. The space/atmosphere was quite nice if not a bit drafty but that made sense for the building.
