    The food was delicious! And our server was kind and friendly. However, I made reservations and as soon as I arrived they told me they were closing the kitchen and the bar. We had like 2-3 mins to order food and drinks. That was very odd. I don’t know if it’s on Open Table or the restaurant but that was unfortunate.

    Overpriced for the quality of chop salad we were served. It was extremely light on key ingredients other than salad greens. Service and setting was good.

    I love this spot for lunch. Even with just about every table occupied, the one and only server did a good job of being attentive. I felt bad for him as he was running ragged but kept a smile on his face. When I checked in I mentioned I had a reservation and gave them my name, however they didn't appear to check me in on their system so I didn't receive an OpenTable credit.

    The space is very open and well arranged with a variety of seating options from sofas & chairs to tables and cozy booths. Cocktails are creative and tasty. The food is superb. It IS expensive, so be prepared for that…

    This is a coffee bar with a small open-air restaurant area in the Rainier Square lobby. Easy to find from the underground parking garage and the parking is fully validated, making this an attractive, moderately-priced restaurant to visit for dinner in downtown Seattle. The menu is small but the seafood chowder was excellent. Rigatoni bolognese and fish and chips were well-prepared too. Plenty of cocktails on the menu and a few decent beers. Good service and good price for value. My colleague was staying nearby at the Fairmont and I would choose this restaurant again.

    The host took us early for our reservation without a blink. We sat out on the patio, which was great. It felt private, even though there were other people right next to us, no one's conversation was too loud. We shared the chicken dish - just right for 2 people and we added a Ceasar salad. We had one blood orange Margarita and one non- alcoholic drink that was ginger beer based. Both were fantastic. RAOUL was our fantastic bartender/waiter. So pleasant and charming. No dessert. With tax and tip it was $91. It was our anniversary dinner so was perfect 👌

    The restaurant wasn’t even open. According to security the restaurant hasn’t been open on the weekend for months.

    First time here. Great spot. Loungy vibe. Was recommended by a friend. Had a great table with a sofa by the fireplace. Service was A+++ (Thanks Cristobal for the great service and recommendations). Food was great. Burger perfectly cooked and the pasta was really good. Oh, and the Espresso Martinis were AMAZING!!! Will definitely be back for those Spressi Martíns!
