I was looking for a late dinner. A salad would have been perfect. I first went next door where the bar staff told me to take my own seat. After sitting there next door for 25min (staff completely ignored me) I gave up and came to Natt Spil. From now on my lateish night go to is Natt Spil.Natt Spil offered just the thing. A tasty Pinot Noir plus pork dumpling. Not the salad I originally had in mind. But this night, fate brought me more than I knew was possible. More than I know I deserve. Highly recommending Natt Spil.In truth I've been here many times over the past 20 years. I've never been disappointed.

What a gem! The mussels here are to die for. The environment is eclectic and modern. Too loud for a first date, but great for a romantic night out with a significant other. I love that the kitchen is visible for patrons. The prep work and cooking I've witnessed has been top notch.

Love everything about this place- the food, service, music and overall atmosphere. Of particular note are the Shu Mai Dumplings and Crispy Lamb Wontons as well as a lively but not loud playlist at the hands of live DJs while you bask in the red glow of Asian inspired lanterns overhead. The Yelp info indicates credit cards accepted, however we found this to be a cash only establishment. Thank You Nat Spill staff- front and back of house!

Natt Spil is a unique eclectic hidden little gem! Lol I never knew that Chinese food/dim sum, pizza, & disco all under one roof could strangely work so well together! It's easy to walk right past this place as there is not alot of signage on the outside & parking may be difficult since it's a downtown location. The place is small & looks like a dimly lit dark hole in the wall Irish pub yet cozy with Chinese/Asian red decor & Norwegian elements along with a small area for DJs to play a random eclectic mix of different types of music giving off a underground club vibes! Their food menu is limited but the food is excellent! I tried one of the cocktails the Orange Dragon and it personally wasn't for me. We ordered the Spicy Cheese Wontons, Mussels, Pepperoni & mushroom pizza, & the 3 cup chicken. I am giving 3 stars because of slow, poor, inconsistent service. However, it was a packed house inside & on the patio with only a few servers/staff. Our server was sweet was slow & inattentive maybe because she had many other tables. I ordered the Spicy Cheese Wontons & Mussels as an appetizer but the food took a very long time with the pizza coming out before the appetizers. A different server had dropped off our food & nobody came back to check on us for quite some time after to see how our food tasted, if we needed anything else, or refill our empty drinks . We had eaten almost all of our food before someone could ask us how the food is. Our original server had disappeared and then it was yet again a different server checking up on us & he was actually really great but a lot of inconsistencies in service. Even though the service was disappointing, their food rocked my tasted buds! :) Definitely try the spicy cheese wontons which were phenomenal, light, hot, & crispy that paired well with the smoked tomato cilantro puree!! The pepperoni & mushroom pizza was deliciously hot & fresh tasting with the fennel tomato sauce almost like it cane from someone's garden! The mussels in the Guajillo cream sauce was the best tasting sauce I have ever had! I was trying to scoop up every last bit of sauce!!!! The mussels were a little over cooked/steamed to the point they were too shrunken or tiny but still delicious! I did mention that to the server but he said that's how they normally look. My husband absolutely loved the 3 cup chicken also which seems to be a very popular dish! Definitely check out Natt Spil because it is truly a unique cool place with fun hipster vibes!!!

Natt Spil has it all. Cozy atmosphere, cool vibes, outstanding service, awesome drinks, solid wine pours, and incredible food. This hidden spot is one that you don't want to miss!!! We devoured the apps too quick for me to snap a pic LOL but the spicy cheese wontons (aka their version of cheese curds) are served with a delicious marinara that really elevates the dish. I love getting their pizza, always hot and straight from the oven. You can grab a spot on their patio or indoors - you won't be disappointed!

Went here around 9pm ish on a Saturday night...and was able to be seated right away. Keep in mind that it is July and UW is not in full session. By 9:45pm it was pretty much packed. Happy to report that the food Is fabulous and the cocktails are wonderfully made!! They made my Old Fashioned perfectly! We ordered the Szechuan dumplings.... The pinenuts were the perfect touch! and our pizza was just ok. The pics are dark as the lights are turned down low for the ambience . Everything from our waitress to our bartender to our food was wonderful. The music was good just really, really, really loud and people were having to YELL at one another in order to be heard.

THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN ON VALENTINES DAY! Music was loud but the atmosphere was chill and the food was amazing. I suggest the pulled pork sandwich and any pizza, you can't go wrong with either! I guess I never finished my review so it's late. Sorry

I've been putting off writing a review of Natt Spil because I didn't want everyone else to know about it. Seems like the cats out of the bag, though. So you might as well know how much a love this place! Vibe: it's weird. And I like it. There's so much personality packed into this little space, it feels like you're at your weird aunts house. Totally strange but also super comfy. And I love their "patio," which is literally just an alleyway with string lights and tables and chairs. It's weirdly romantic with the exposed brick. The whole place has a very intimate yet playful vibe, great date energy. It does get loud but I expect that anywhere on a weekend. Service: always so good! I've loved every server I've had here, but Noodle (I think that's his real name?!) has been a long time favorite and we really loved Rachel recently, so sweet and friendly! And I love sitting at the bar so I can watch the bartenders and cooks (did I mention the open kitchen?) who are all always working so hard but also super friendly and silly, it's fun to be a part of. Random dance breaks on the regular, love it. (The music here is all over the place with live DJs most nights but it's always great energy.) Food and drinks: a little inconsistent but mostly great. Sometimes it takes quite awhile but their kitchen is pretty tiny so I get that, though sometimes it seems like the whole kitchen takes a break at the same time? I've had some over salted chicken and some over-cheesed pizza (I know I sound crazy but yes, I want to actually taste the other ingredients in the pizza, too!) but for the most part it's been great. I love a good tofu dish and their three cup tofu (get it extra spicy) is SO good. Also love their Shu mai and their chicken sandwich. The cocktails are fine (my boo loves the Hi T) but lately I've been drinking margaritas here..they're surprisingly good. Also a pretty good wine list these days! Great spot overall. Total gem, really. Come with a little time on your hands though, it gets so crowded!

Came here on a Saturday night after a night out of bars. The late hours are such a huge bonus. Parking was tricky, but expected for a prime downtown spot. But if you've been drinking and Ubering, it's a non-issue. The restaurant atmosphere was cozy yet loud. There was an in-house DJ playing club music. I personally really enjoyed it! It is late night, after all :) We ordered the apple Brie pizza, mussels, and dumplings. I would go back for just the mussels alone. Just phenomenal food, especially given it's a late night menu. The only downside is that the service was inconsistent and the lighting was very poor. Our candles had just gone out, so we were using phone lights to read our menus. We asked for more candles, but they never came. It didn't ruin our experience, and I'm looking forward to updating this review with a more positive experience!

This place has a really unique atmosphere and they play throwback music which is fun. The menu also has an eclectic assortment. Food is good - I recommend the Brie/apple pizza!

It's a kitschy mix in here. There's a big dark speakeasy vibe, mixed with a lot Asian/Chinese decor elements and a Nordic/Scan vibes thrown in as well. We really lucked out and got a table right away at 7:30pm on a Thursday. We got spicy wontons which were delicious. They were spicy peanutty deliciousness porky. We got the Orange Dragon and Hi T cocktails. The tasted like sprite and the smallest hint of spice. It tasted like nothing really. The Hi T had more flavor but it wasn't anything to scream about. Pizzas were good. Solid flavor excellent crispy crunchiness. Check the pics for cheese pulls. TLDR: Definitely worth trying! Don't trust the drinks but DO trust the pizza

Great bar, good food. Chill atmosphere, red light everywhere, no name on the outside so it feels pretty indie. Three cup chicken was good but I'd probably get the pizza next time. Good beers too with reasonable prices for the taps. They do take cards now.
