Had an excellent dinner here the other night after house hunting in the neighborhood. What a great downtown Burien has and this restaurant really showed out with morels and burrata, pork belly, and some excellent cocktails. Only deduction was not having a proper Guinness glass but I can handle that! They have a cinema attached, a beautiful back patio, and we were told they plan to open a bar lounge next door in the near future. What a gem!

Our first time here tonight and it was fantastic!! The back patio provides the perfect atmosphere on a sunny summer night. The menu has something for everyone. We had the beet salad, the pear bruschetta and the potato salad special. Everything was amazing. Thank you!!

Jaime, the bartender is an excellent mixologist- drinks delicious and creatively beautifully presented. Music soundtrack transports you with a jazzy international flair. We had the Moroccan dish with a hint of mint- highly recommend. If you haven’t made it here yet- you are missing a really great dining experience and the best treat in Burien.

First visit to Tin Room in a long time and we were disappointed with the small portions and high prices. Five chicken wings for $16 and a tiny beet salad (four slices of beets cut in half, little bit of arugula and a tablespoon of whipped feta) for $15. It looks like they are trying to elevate the food and instead it’s just mediocre small portions of food. Service was good! We live close by but sadly will probably pick a different local restaurant to frequent regularly.

I've been into martinis for quite some time now. But if I think about it, I've only had martinis at famous bars a handful of times — maybe because it's quite an expensive hobby. The money I'd spend on two martinis at a bar would go much further if I made them myself at home.
Still, having a cocktail made by a proper bartender at a reputable bar is a whole different story. Today, I took the day off from work, and after an evening workout, I decided to stop by a local bar that's said to have a good reputation. The bar, called Tin Room, was tended by a female bartender who welcomed me as I took a seat. When I ordered a martini with Tanqueray as the base, she poured the ingredients into a shaker and began shaking it vigorously.
Wait — that's not how it's supposed to be.
A shaken martini tends to strip away the beautiful citrus notes that Tanqueray gin naturally carries. So I asked her to make the exact same martini again — this time stirred, not shaken. She gave me a curious look but proceeded to make the drink as requested. That’s when we started talking about martinis. It became clear to me once again that being a bartender is really a job about connecting with people. When I explained why I preferred a 3:1 ratio of gin to vermouth, she suggested that with good vermouth, a 2:1 ratio could work well too — something I should try next time.
The bar was playing old rock — Queen, Guns N' Roses — the kind of music that brought back memories of my younger days. For a moment, I felt like I was reconnecting with those times. I ordered a shot of Tanqueray Ten, but... wow, the price was brutal. Two martinis and one shot set me back nearly $50. No wonder I usually make drinks at home — it's definitely the more cost-effective option.
Even so, I learned something new from talking with the bartender. Honestly, I can't even remember the last time I had a martini made by someone else. It made me think — this is life in America. But there was something special about sipping a martini at a neighborhood bar, chatting with the bartender. I left thinking that every now and then, I'd probably come back — even if only to have another conversation with her.
Next time, I will probably enjoy their cocktail with their slider.
Lively atmosphere, drinks were well made and food was very good.

Sad to see what has happened to this place since they closed and reopened... menu selection not as good (used to have great carne asada), part of the seating is closed, drinks not very good (too sweet and overpriced), and deceptive advertising. Plain hamburger is $18 on the website (which is slightly above neighborhood average), but actually $24 on the menu in the restaurant. It's a cool atmosphere with great potential, but the management seems to think that they should price things like a downtown Seattle hotel.
