My wife and I had the good fortune to dine at Poppy's, on Broadway, in Seattle on 5/11/13. The service was excellent, as was the food. The format is Thali, an Indian [ South Asian] concept that is like a tasting menu. You have a choice of 7 to 10 items served on a platter, on individual plates. There was... More

We found Poppy on the listing of Seattle Restaurant Week restaurants and decided to give it a try. We all ordered the 7 thalis dinner and loved all of the different options with each thali. All of the flavors went very well together, but my favorite was the black cod. It was a great variety of food with small portions... More

We found this one during Seattle Restaurant Week last year, and have returned since. The food is unique, but the flavors go well together, and although the dishes are small, you get lots of them. I would never have paired some of the things together that we tried here, but they all seem to work well. As with most other... More

The overall experience was neat and well executed but the food left much to be desired. Conceptually this place will get anyone excited but, if like myself you see past the presentation and focus on the prize you may find yourself somewhat disappointed.

At Poppy the main entree is a variety of small dishes (choice of 7 or 10), served all at once on a huge platter, for each guest. My favorite was the black cod with carrot wasabi sauce. My husband loved the lavender rubbed duck leg with tart cherries. I would deduct a small fraction of a point because it was... More

We ate here for the first time tonight. If was my daughters birthday and I'd been wanting to try out Poppy for awhile. We made our reservation today through Open Table and had to give credit card details. There was a warning that if we failed to cancel at least 4 hours in advance of our reservation there would be...

After your opening drinks and appetizers, your meal will arrive on a tray, called a Thali, with seven or ten separate food items. A lot of food distributed into small, but just right sized, portions of wonderful tastes. Usually a fish, duck, beef or vegetarian option. I had the braised beef cheek and sauerkraut with pickled mustard seed. Beautifully delivered... More

The concept here is a bit different: the menu is made up of a number of multi-dish thalis. There are 7 dish thalis and 10 dish thalis. Each dinner has a cold salad, a pickle, a bread, a warm salad, a soup, a side and an entree (or some permutation of those). The 10 dish dinner has 2 of some... More

This restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. I really didn't know what to expect, but I was very impressed. Delicious food, nice atmosphere and great service. I love a restaurant where I can try so many things in one order. Try the cod!

Last week we had a special time at the highly acclaimed Poppy. The atmosphere was nice, though not as spectacular as others have indicated, and the food and drinks were wonderful though I would not say fantastic. A contributing factor may have been a mix-up with the two vegetarian orders (home-cured bacon on Corona beans was very tasty but not... More
