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]
In June 2025, Bateau was temporarily closed as part of a "planned reimagining."[5] The closure came soon after a successful union authorization vote in February of 2025.[6]

Reception
The restaurant has received positive reviews from critics.[7][8] In a review for The Seattle Times, critic Providence Cicero gave the restaurant her first four-star review.[9] Cicero praised the "entire dining experience" as "smooth sailing".[9] 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".[9]
The restaurant was featured on Eater's list of the best new restaurants of 2016.[10] Aimee Rizzo included Spinasse in The Infatuation's 2023 overview of Seattle's 25 best restaurants.[11]
