“knowledgeable staff. helped me get my ball dialed in.“

“Plenty of seating and a nice place to play pool, darts or pinball. Place was packed for a party and looked like there were only 2 servers. Ours was doing her best to take care of most of the people in there while the other was spending a lot of time chatting with a single table..“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Celebrated a birthday date night and first time dining here. Great ambiance with fantastic service. (Thank you Jordan). We called ahead and made reservations. The table was decorated with a long stemmed red rose and a birthday card. Our meal was so delicious! Cocktails, starters, dinner and dessert were pure perfection! Thank you chef(s). That was hands down, one of the best meals we have ever had! We are already mapping out what we are ordering on our next time here! Oh and the box of letters from other patrons at each table…🥹 so precious! THANK YOU!!“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“I’m a frequent business traveler and stay in a hotel 3 nights a week and most aren’t so good so I have to write a review to say this hotels food is incredible and never gets old, the staff is great and very personable and they have a great rotation of craft beers on tap!“

“This is a lovely department-store dining experience. We held our book club meeting here. Staff was accommodating; attentive, but not intrusive. Noise level was perfect for an intimate discussion, despite the restaurant being active. Would recommend on all levels“

“Don't let the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel detour you... it's amazing. Food is delicious, service is stellar, and the price is right. I went for breakfast and dinner in one week. The stuffed French toast was some of the best I've had in Seattle, and for dinner I had the burger with Dejion and caramelized onions. super tasty. Just wish I had room for dessert. Maybe next time. They had the football games on at the bar, so I had cocktails to end the night and almost rented a room just to stay longer but had to work in the AM. Top notch!!“

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!“

“The Fire Pasta is the bomb! And the staff is always great! love this place“

“Went here for a breakfast stop and I must say the food was absolutely delicious. One of us had the steak and eggs and the steak was cooked to perfection medium. And the other one of us had the Spanish omelette when I tell you the flavors were so robust with the chorizo and the egg was cooked perfectly. Definitely be back here. Also they put the iced coffee in a to go cup, which is nice and convenient so you can take it with you. Servers and host were also very friendly“

“We made our reservation at Aqua Terra on OpenTable for brunch at 11:30. The only issue we had was that the restaurant itself was actually closed until dinner service. We ended up at the nearly empty AquaTerra Lobby Bar (with great views of the atrium) which serves the same fantastic food and coffees. There were no problem for us as we were all adults but it would have been a problem if there was anyone underage in our party. It all worked out well for us and we had a lovely time and will be back when we need a nice place to meet up before a flight again.“

“Had an overnight stay at the Hotel for business. Didn’t want to go out just something simple but good. The classic burger did not disappoint. Cooked exactly as I asked. Super juicy and fresh toppings. Fries were the seasoned kind. Just crispy enough but not too much. The menu has lighter foods and more upscale if that is your craving. Service was friendly and food came out in a very reasonable amount of time.“

“In my opinion the best coffee around. It started with convenience and unlike Starbucks they made a standard delicious vanilla latte. But really it's all about the blended drinks. There are their specials which are all good but you can also get the coffee drinks blended & they use an ice cream base that takes it to a whole new level. Plus, you get a free bday drink which is a nice bonus. Highly recommend!“
