Nut allergy friendly: Had no issues with anything I had here. The wait staff even replaced my order when there was an error and they were unsure on nuts in the pesto. (Shout-out to Hieu, great waiter).
I stayed at the Hilton Bellevue for four nights, which provided a $30 Food and Beverage credit for a Diamond member with two guests on the reservation. I ate at the Solarium Kitchen once and ordered to-go meals on other days.

Dining in, it was always self-seated and wait for someone to notice. Again, shout-out to Hieu for holding down the fort in his section.
We ordered the lamb lollipops (5/5) and Northwest Seafood Chowder (4/5) using Hilton Diamond complimentary appetizers. Both were great uses of the voucher. The lamb lollipops came out with two pieces of very tender lamb and a nice side salad. The Northwest Seafood Chowder was honestly comparable to the chowder I had at Pikes Place Market. A little salty, but had real salmon and was pretty good.
For mains, we shared a pepperoni pizza and it was a nice thin crust style. A little oily, but plenty filling for two people (4/5).
On every other night I got a to-go order. The first night I got a grilled chicken sandwich and the roasted seasonal vegetables which were broccolini, carrots, and green beans. Vegetables came out crispy, a little buttery, nice garlic (4/5). The grilled chicken sandwich was well portioned and came with a nice side of fries, but the chicken was a bit dry (3/5). The other nights I got a classic salad with chicken. Great fresh greens and nice mix of radish and cucumber, but again the chicken was quite dry (3/5). Might be better in person than to-go.
Overall, excellent place to come dine while staying at the Hilton Bellevue and their small plates are competitive with other restaurants. I'd say it's one of the best hotel restaurants I've been to recently. Looking forward to dining here again.

Had a surprisingly decent time at this hotel restaurant and bar. The house Margarita was actually pretty good—made with quality tequila and on point! But I only had one (because, you know, budget). The tenderloin beef tips as a small plate were cooked perfectly and delicious enough to make me forget I was alone. Service was pretty good, too—no complaints there. The environment wasn’t too terrible for a hotel bar; I’m pretty sure it would've been even better if I hadn’t been stood up.
They had a dessert menu packed with tempting options that looked divine, but of course, they were a little pricey—because who doesn’t want to pay extra for happiness? In the end, I bought myself dinner and a drink (at least I know I’m a good date), which made the whole experience feel a tad more expensive than it should have been. But hey, at least I enjoyed the company!

Alfredo had that skin food gets from sitting out, plus a chunk of mozzarella-- just a chunk, not melted-- on top. Not impressed.

The restaurant is located in the Hilton hotel. We also noticed the restaurant had an unpleasant fishy odor - likely due to poor ventilation or the property being quite old. The food itself was decent; we had the steaks and the lamb skewer appetizer.
Best meal I’ve had in a while, and I travel often. From the NW, seafood packed, creamy chowder, the cheesy, rich and crunchy flat bread pizza to the generously portioned and thoughtfully made Cobb salad with a home made dressing and tender chicken, and let’s not forget about the mouth-watering Jamaican rum carrot cake with an ooey gooey cream cheese topping. I’m so jealous I don’t live here. Well done to the restaurant team, you’re killing it. Chefs kiss! A special mention to our bar lady that kept us entertained and taken care of. Can’t recall her name, but you can’t miss her, she looks like a Barbie 😊 - didn’t get pics of everything, but here’s what I did get.

Their holiday buffets are really amazing. Great selection, food is replenished often, never looks ravaged. Tables are attractively set.

This restaurant has been consistently very good....we go here quite often also because it is quiet, service is great and the menu is quite interesting. We just can not understand why it is not all that busy whenever we are there.
In summary, the starters were fantastic but the entrees left much to be desired. Fair wine selection, erring on the sweet side. Service was phenomenal. Understandable value for a restaurant inside a hotel, but overpriced for the quality. Lobster was overcooked and a bit rubbery. Ribeye was a bit tough and doused with garlic herb spread, unfortunately not much flavor in the meat itself. Lamb lollipops and caramelized onion & cheese dip were the stars of the evening. Pobably won't be returning, but it was a decent experience we generally don't regret.

Got the fish and chips for dinner. The breading on the fish was soggy, the coleslaw was certainly not "jalapeno-lime" just regular, and the portion size was a bit small. Also, if that's a charred lemon wedge, I don't know the definition of the word. I also got the North West chowder, and it was amazing. For breakfast, I got the traditional and a waffle. The waffle was a bit underwhelming, not crispy at all. On the other hand, the bacon was crispy, and my over-medium eggs were done perfectly. All in all, and bit pricey for what it was.

I came here for the weekday breakfast buffet last month ($25 + tax + tip) and left a bit disappointed. There were many servers and very few guests, so I did get a lot of attention and they were quite nice and accomodating. So I hate to leave a bad review. But the food was not great. I didn't like the bacon at all. It was nice that they had a free omelet station and that was OK. They made me a fresh waffle since the pre-made ones were cold, but it's just like the basic type you make your kids. The pastries were not appealing. The oatmeal was good. I wish they had a more healthy/fresh focus, such as whole grain foods, salad bar with mixed greens, etc. might eat there if I was staying at the hotel, but wouldn't come for the buffet. Maybe the a la carte menu items are better. The next day I tried Eques at the Hyatt Regency and it blew this place away for like $4 more. That's now my go-to for weekday breakfasts.

Great food and had great experience. This will be my favorite spot to hang out with girl friends.
