The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it a good place to stop for drinks and food without feeling overly formal. The menu goes beyond basic bar food, with a good variety of dishes and cocktails.

The location is especially convenient if you’re walking around Belltown, and there are plenty of other restaurants and businesses nearby. It has the kind of neighborhood atmosphere that fits this part of Seattle well. A nice option for a relaxed evening with friends or a casual meal.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“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.“

“One of our favorite places in Seattle to eat and chill.“

“We celebrated our anniversary at 2120 and it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Seattle. The cocktails alone are worth the visit. The Old Fashioned was phenomenal, but the true standout was the Tequila Pho cocktail. I’ve never had anything like it—it genuinely tasted like you were drinking a bowl of fresh pho in the best possible way. It may honestly be our new favorite cocktail ever. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The oysters were, without question, the best we’ve ever had, and we’ve tried oysters all over the country. The smoked salmon crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My oxtail pappardelle was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my wife absolutely loved the Thai coconut curry with scallops. To finish the evening, 2120 surprised us with an amazing anniversary dessert featuring warm donuts, fresh chocolate cream, and caramel sauce, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. It was a thoughtful touch that made an already memorable evening even more special. A huge thank you to our server, James, who made the entire experience exceptional with his outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm personality. Thank you to the entire team at 2120 for helping us celebrate our anniversary in such a memorable way. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Seattle, whether for a special occasion or simply a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 2120. We will absolutely be back.“

“I went with my friends a couple weeks ago and had the nicest time. I had the Brick Chicken and mash potatoes and it was delicious. the Brownie was oohie gooie good too. Our waitress, Mariah, was so fun and helpful. The whole dinner was unexpectedly good :). I'm writing this here now because, I am still thinking about how good it was and wondering how soon is too soon to go back :). Thanks Mariah and Hollywood Tavern :)“

“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..“

“LOVED this spot. And the recommendation by Tom was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely coming back!“

“Always amazing food and the bartender can make anything you want perfectly. It’s my go-to spot for a casual but fancy dinner.“

“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“
