Best Restaurants for People Watching in Queen Anne

Staff was pleasant, but spread thin. Cocktail order was incorrect, warm courses were extremely salty. Our server was quite nice, but clearly not supported and not as attentive as could be, not their fault. It’s a great place but the vibe has been off significantly since the layoffs and service charge was implemented due to new city laws.

What a fun time on the Great Wheel! Food was good too!

We enjoyed breakfast at Portage Bay Cafe on Easter Sunday. We had a reservation, which was definitely needed that day. It was an incredibly busy morning for the restaurant, and they were staffed appropriately. We were immediately greeted at the host stand and our reservation was acknowledged. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. Our server greeted us immediately and was attentive throughout our meal. I ordered the Florentine Benedict and selected the salad over the potatoes, as a side. The side salad was enough for the meal! The ingredients were so fresh and delicious. My daughter ordered the Classic Benedict with the side potatoes, and said it was also delicious. My husband ordered the Swedish Pancakes which included a trip to the berry bar. He thoroughly enjoyed the pancakes and loaded up on delicious fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and whip cream from the berry bar. All of us had plenty of food (more than we could eat) and we felt like the price was fair and a good value. My daughter also enjoyed a traditional mimosa, which was large and delicious. I was impressed with how the restaurant handled such a busy holiday breakfast and I look forward to returning.

Great food, every dish has a truly separate flavor profile. Steaks are by far their best creation. Other meats are great too.

The drinks and food were excellent. Portions were generous for the price.
