History

The restaurant opened in 2015. [1] Bateau makes an effort to reduce the environmental impact of the beef it serves. [2] One such practice to minimize the restaurant's impact, whole-animal butchery, [2] means the restaurant serves cuts that other steakhouses do not typically serve. [3]

The restaurant closed temporarily during the 2021 Western North America heat wave. [4]

Reception

The restaurant has received positive reviews from critics. [5] [6] In a review for The Seattle Times , critic Providence Cicero gave the restaurant her first four-star review. [7] Cicero praised the "entire dining experience" as "smooth sailing". [7] Cicero specifically praised the quality of the service and the knowledge of the waitstaff. The review also referred to the meat as "exceptional" and highlighted the "sides and starters" as "[playing] more than just a supporting role". [7]

The restaurant was featured on Eater 's list of the best new restaurants of 2016. [8] Aimee Rizzo included Spinasse in The Infatuation's 2023 overview of Seattle's 25 best restaurants. [9]
