Her service and positive attitude honestly elevated the entire experience. Miranda turned a good dinner into a memorable night. Thank you!“

The cornmeal pancake is a must for the table and a notable favorite from my last visit was the Avocado Toastie with cured egg yolk. Delectable.

“Made a reservation with Nick on the phone for 8 gals as part of a social club meet-up—he went above and beyond with a friendly demeanor to set us up in the private room. When a 9th person showed up (by my own error) the staff was more than accommodating. Nick also served us—seriously, what a nice owner! He and his staff took amazing care of us. Food was really good too! The half charcuterie was really nice portion for 1 and the hand cut fries were a tasty share. I also enjoyed the blackbean burger, though it’s a little messy, it tasted great. Nick also made some of us an off-menu mint lemonade ginger beer mocktail that was summery and refreshing. The atmosphere was busy and cheerful—will be visiting again!“

“Great food“

“Such a gem of a spot!

The food was absolutely amazing, and you can tell they care about the details because everything was incredibly clean and spotless. I fell in love with the layout and open concept of this place. It gives the whole place such a bright, welcoming, and inclusive vibe. To top it all off, the staff are total sweethearts and made us feel so welcome the second we walked in. Most speak Spanish as well! It was definitely worth the trip, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit! Yum!“

“We heard about ELDR from chef Liam over at Raccalto and have been anxiously awaiting the reopening.
We went for dinner on a Friday and ordered oysters, cabbage, bread service, the albacore crudo, green beans, the baked crab and the steak and spatzel.
We split this between 2 people for a birthday dinner, it was a lot of food but it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything was prepared to perfection. It it 1 pm the next day and I am still full.

The staff was all so lovely as well as the atmosphere. It is a bit warm inside due to the wood oven, so I’d recommend dressing in layers.

We have not stopped talking about how good the food was, and I cannot wait to go back. Do yourself a favor and book the reservation and put on some stretchy pants and prepare to be wowed.“

“Great spot!! Everything was fantastic. Stopped by on my way out of the city, and am glad I did. Service was fast and courteous, food ( I ordered Bob's breakfast) was delicious, and just the right portion. Definitely worth a return trip..“

“Decided to stopped in the Attic Restaurant/sport bar for a bite to eat on yesterday.
Gotta say that this was definitely a great decision, we weren't disappointed.
The food and the customer service were above excellent, in fact it was outstanding 👌 👏
Always love it when you can walk through the door of any establishment and automatically being greeted by a customer friendly staff.
It's almost like they know you and appreciate that you took the time to stop by.
The server quickly brought us menu's water and a great big ear to ear smile.
My wife order the fish & chip while I orderd the (Attic Luch Special) French Dip sandwich with aju dipping sauce.
Both where exceptionally flavorful with every mouthwatering bite.
The fish was lightly batter and seasoned to personally perfection, combine with the homemade tarter sauce and coleslaw......WOW....!
The French Dip sandwich was simply over the top, when it comes to the definition of deliciousness......!
Tender and properly sliced, season with caramelized onions and melted provolone cheese............!
The baguette roll was warm and super soft, sliced in half perfectly sized for dipping.
And the aju dipping sauce, ok that a YES all day and every day....!
The clam chowder was a creamy spoon full of incredible yummyness, simply the best that I've ever eaten....
Actually orderd a bowl to go......!
Absolutely no doggy bag needed, we both joyfully cleaned our plates.....Lol
Ultimately this place presents a warm welcoming dinning experience, definitely worthy of another visit..........!“

“Love it. I will go back and recommend“

“We love Brianna’s Cafe! My youngest has a food allergy and the staff there went above and beyond to make sure she could have food that was safe for her, the food is great and the pie is delicious!!“

“One of Bothell's great places to meet up with friends. Excellent food, drinks and service. Highly recommended.“

“Quick service, nice staff, a bit too loud, but I am usually hypersensitive to noise. They do have an outdoor alternative that could use some warming poles now that the weather is cold. Overall, we enjoyed it and the food was ok.“

“Had a great dinner our first night in Seattle!“

“we flew in late so were starving this morning. The staff were so inviting and friendly the food was absolutely delicious!!! Large portions. Will definitely be back!!“

“Absolutely epic source for all thing’s DELICIOUS! We are obsessed with the Pate en Croute, meat pies, every flavor sausage, and their perfectly aged cuts of locally sourced meat!“

“How many places can you say you've frequented for 20 years. Well, I've come to 74th Street Ale House since I moved to Seattle back in 2000. My love for this place started with a weekly trek to have the Reuban Sandwich and I'd have a Snakebite to drink.

After a decade my taste changed and I evolved to some of the best iced tea in Seattle and the blue cheese burger with the grilled onions and bell peppers. On top of the great menu they have weekly specials and the homemade soups and gumbo are fantastic.

Great place to meet up with friends and have a meal and drink some beers although the do have a full bar too. Mostly a neighborhood place with lots of locals and the staff know more of the regulars as they've worked here for a few decades too.

I highly recommend 74th Street Ale House and BTW I just came back from there and had the Gumbo, a Guinness and chased it down with a iced tea to boot.“

“Food is excellent ! I always get the wings they literally melt in your mouth and are just so flavorful! My sister brung me here and I’ve been back 5+times by myself since lol ! TRY IT ! I also tried the pena colada’s drink and omg it was soooo delicious“

“The cafe was bustling with patrons. I was able to get a seat at the counter on a very comfortable stool. The menu was vast, with so many traditional as well as creative options. The plentiful amount of food was perfectly and beautifully prepared and served. The wait staff of only two waitresses managed the never-ending crowd with cheerful grace and impressive skill. It was art in motion. I am glad I stopped in for a late breakfast. If you are craving a traditional cafe experience with delicious food, large portions and friendly, capable staff, this is the spot.“

“chili crisp sandwich is best chicken sandwich around“

“Great service and great food!“

“Little known gem very worthwhile checking out. Super tasty menu items. Be sure to ask for a glass of their exclusive, custom-label Pancho Villa Cab (by Barrage Cellars).“

“We went for the first time today and had excellent customer service! The food was amazing. We will be back :)“

“Amazing food and cocktails! Great friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“May be one of my favorite places on Microsoft campus. Had great share platters and nice drinks. I recommend their creamsicle mocktail. Was very well suited for a low maintenance but well run happy hour/team event. Very helpful and accommodating staff.“

“Great home cooking and some specialties. Friendly and fast service. We loved it!“

“Came here to meet a friend for dinner and absolutely blown away by the customer service, atmosphere and food. Tracy and Stratton were top knotch during this visit. I've been to many of places here in Seattle and this by far, the best. The only thing I'd change/request is the inventory of the shirts in the store to be available year round. #trevorproject #loveislove #whiskeylove #pnw“
