Prusik Reviews
I went to Leavenworth on a girls trip, and prusik was our favorite meal of the whole trip! The waiter was so friendly, and he made sure everybody was content with their meals. The cauliflower was the best cauliflower I've ever had. My friend asked for a spicy Bolognese, and he really delivered! He was so excited to share how excited this chefs were to prepare this meal. I do enjoy the ambience, dim lights, and a very sophisticated feel. It seems like there are a couple other restaurants within this same chain, and I'll have to take another trip up to Washington just to go to them!
Incredible food with amazing staff. We will definitely return. The restaurant was very clean with great decor. The whole experience was exactly what we were looking for today!
Waited, with a few people, outside the restaurant before they opened at 4pm, and it was worth the wait The restaurant was clean - bustling with eager servers and hungry guests The server was friendly and helpful; she answered our questions regarding the menu. We ordered Thai chicken wings , Caesar salad with grilled prawns and bacon , and the "Alpine" Roman Street Pizza . Everything was made fresh; the wings & pizza were hot outta the oven, and salad was refreshingly delicious
All five stars based on food. The food was delicious and unique. The coffee not so much. Everyone but me at the table complained the coffee was dark and bitter but family are flavored creamer people and I drink it black. We waited over forty minutes to seat at Louie's before we gave up and found this place. The only reason it had seating must have been because people like me who rely on yelp see it only says dinner. Service was FAST. DO IT.
Visited recently on our overnight trip to Leavenworth. Came for brunch and absolutely exceeded our expectations! Started off w Bloody Caesars - perfectly seasoned and originally garnished w olives, picked asparagus and a dill spear. Next up cheddar biscuits with House made Yuzu orange marmalade that was the best take on this breakfast stapled I believe I've ever had! So good! Unfortunately, they make it fresh daily and don't sell any to go. For our main dishes, we went w the forager frittata and shrimp/ crab Benedict Both were excellently, prepared, really original take on both dishes, enjoyed both very much. The surprise of the meal was the "fried" Yukon gold potato. I have never, in all of my potato, loving life, had a potato as unique as this. The potatoes are steamed to a doneness, smashed, and then fried in beef tallow. Finished with seasonings of Parmesan salt and pepper and other spices. The crispiness of the skin and the flavor of the beef tallow was simply divine! Our server was wonderful. Very professional and accommodating. Took pains to explain everything about the menu as well as shared the secret to the Yukon gold potatoes. Finally, the ambience and vibe of the place fit perfectly in the charm of Leavenworth. Don't know when I'll get back to Leavenworth, but when I do, this will be my first stop.
