    Loved this breakfast boat! Skalka has been on my list to try for a while and so glad I finally got to try it (even if it was to-go). I loved the favors of the beef and cheese in this. And the bread from the boat is fantastic! The portions are massive and can easily be shared between two people (or yummy leftovers). Each one is around ~$18 but you definitely get your value out of it. I can't wait to come to the restaurant in the near future!

    This was my first time trying Georgian cuisine, and I can't believe it took me so long to discover it. The Chicken Boat was absolutely out of this world! The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, making it a perfect spot if you're exploring downtown Seattle. I highly recommend this place. P.S.: You get a free coffee with your meal when you check in on Yelp.

    Despite frequently passing by this restaurant, it was my first visit, inspired by rave reviews. I decided to go for brunch on a Saturday, but the timing coincided with the Seafair Torchlight Parade, which led to most streets being closed. After 30 minutes of searching, I found street parking nearly a mile away and walked to the restaurant. **Ambiance**: The restaurant has large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating an airy and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is funky and fun, adding to the overall charm. **Ordering Process**: I ordered at a kiosk and provided my phone number, which felt unnecessary. It would be more customer-friendly to use numbered tokens instead of collecting personal information. After ordering, the food was brought to my table, and there were no further interactions with the staff during my meal. **Food**: I ordered a Lobiani, which consisted of red beans, runny eggs, bacon, banana peppers, and butter melting into the cheese alongside the egg yolk. Initially, I was unsure how to eat it, but I decided to chip away at the fresh and fluffy bread and use a fork for the filling. Once it was small enough, I used my hands. Although it didn't look very big, it was quite filling, and I had some leftovers. **Taste**: The food was good, but it didn't live up to the rave reviews that had set my expectations very high. It reminded me of a pizza, especially with the egg yolk and two handle-like protrusions on each side. However, it was still enjoyable and satisfying. **Value**: The price was around $18, which seemed reasonable for the portion and quality. **Conclusion**: I have nothing bad to say about the food, but it wasn't as mind-blowing as some reviews claimed. Despite that, I'm a sucker for breakfast restaurants and wouldn't hesitate to return.

    Skalka serves khachapuri, a Georgian cheesy bread boat that's a fantastic mix between a calzone and a bread bowl. The dough is like pizza crust filled with cheese and a runny egg yolk, which adds a rich flavor, though you can ask for it cooked if you prefer. I tried both the veggie and chicken khachapuri, and they were both delicious. The chicken khachapuri features tomatoes and fresh herbs, while the veggie version includes eggplants, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. The dish offers a perfect balance of hearty bread and flavorful filling. The service at Skalka was friendly and efficient, and the ordering system was straightforward. The ambiance was casual and inviting, making it a pleasant spot for a meal. We went for brunch and easily found a seat, but it might be busier earlier in the day. Something to Note - There's no nearby parking, so be prepared to find a spot a bit further away.
