Really great food. Everything smelled great and tasted better.
March 1, 2022This place has amazing cocktails! I’m knocking off a star though as $8 for 1 small slice of focaccia is outrageous and feels a bit out of touch. Additionally, the... read more risotto was ill-balanced. However, the rest of the food was great and had decently reasonable portions for the price.
May 15, 2022Not for the picky eaters. But for those of us who feel like living an adventure you better put this place on your list of places to eat. It's a... read more wonderful experience of flavor and out of this world drinks. You won't have gin like this anywhere else. And for the average veggie avoidant (like my boyfriend) you will find yourself gobbling down those Brussel sprouts you fed to your dog when you were five. The chicken sandwich would kick Chick FIL A in their unmentionables as for the small price of 15 bucks you go all the way down to flavor town along with a kings ransom of delicious fries. The sauces are those of which you would have to try to believe how incredible they are. Out of the THOUSANDS of restaurants in the Seattle area.. this is a must TRY.

November 29, 2021I can't say enough incredible things about Joli! For starters, the quality, value and care of the food served is enough to rival Canlis. And oh my, the gin...... read more Whether you're an amateur or an afficianado, you will be impressed by the cocktail menu options as well as the plethora of international gin options on the wall. Go here. For real. You won't be disappointed.
December 29, 2021Another local restaurant/bar that I frequent. You'd be good going once because their menu is limited (food). The steak and fries are always oversalted so I sadly have to mention... read more that On the other hand, they have over 200+ Gins to choose from.

Really adorable gin bar with a well curated, tasty menu. The food is served tapas style and is a great place to visit with a group of friends. I... read more recently had the beet risotto and a delicious Spanish-style gin and tonic. Highly recommend this place if you are near Ballard or Fremont!
March 1, 2022Joli is a really fantastic gin bar! The cocktails are really thoughtful and show many different sides of gin beyond London Dry/getting whacked in the face with a pine branch.... read more The staff was also attentive and friendly.

I've lived in Seattle for over a year and finally met rude people. When my husband asked for more info (flavorwise) about the oysters, the employee said, "I don't have an answer if you don't have a specific question, and I have 14 drinks to attend to". Terrible service. On top of that, the food was below average, considering the price point. I don't recommend this place

The table glassware is very nice and adds to the ambiance. Drinks here are delicious if you can look past the rude host and uninterested waitress. The interactions with these people really affected our experience. It could have been so much more pleasant if they had tried even just a little. They were expecting more important people to show up and us, paying customers, were left with a cold shoulder. Better service is easier to find elsewhere...

My wife and I first came to Joli in 2021 and frankly were not impressed. We came back in this weekend for a second chance and had our opinion swayed.
We had the ribs, the squash salad, broccolini, and their sorbet - I can not describe how AMAZING our meal was and we are anxious to come back again. 5/5
We did however feel that the service could have been better. For a place that offers such craft food and gin centric cocktails - we would have hoped for more lively staff to accentuate the restaurant's driving features.
Maybe it was an off night; regardless, we shall be back.
