“Excellent food and service“

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“If you’re looking for a place where flavor, live music, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony, Mexicuban is it. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their delicious creations.“

“Rica comida y la mesera extraordinaria muy buen servicio“

“Great stay last night!!! The accommodations were great and the staff was very nice, highly recommended“

“Great casual vibe and incredibly friendly staff! Food was really good (I highly recommend the street tacos) and the beer suggestions were on point! 5/5“

“Sat for 25 minutes without any server acknowledging (giving a menu, smiling, nothing) our table of 5 right in the middle of the bar. Very rude and could have been a very nice tip. Also, if you waited at the bar for a drink the bartender told you to take a seat at a table and wait for a server...ha! Ya right!“

“Fun, romantic, dinner spot!

They have an eclectic menu and make great cocktails.

Beautifully decorated, chic, & high quality food and drinks.

Will be coming back next time we’re in town!“

“Great service, Great atmosphere and most of all....a great bartender! 🍻👍...love you Miss Nana!“

“awesome food and awesome service“

“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“Everything we had was high quality, flavorful and super a scrummy!! Guacamole/plantain chips, beef enpanita, shrimp tacos, brisket taco, Cuban Sammy. People around us had these beautiful cocktails with flowers, umbrellas, etc. Huge selection of rum too. Loved the decor and servers were sweet as pie.“

“Streamline Tavern Forevahhh“

“Great vibe! Great staff! Even better cocktails!“

“Drinks = 5⭐ Totally stopped because of the name, drinks were amazing. We didn't eat, but don't forget to look at your receipt. So many fun things to see on that receipt. We kept it as a souvenir. I don't mean anything about the prices, I just mean keep your receipt and look at it. It's just those little details that make this place super fun.“

“I'm a little puzzled by this place. It purports to be inspired by the Japanese bar experience, which it mimics in seating and overall number of folks it can seat. (They also have a phenomenal washlet in the bathroom.) In terms of staff, the folks who work there are knowledgeable and provide friendly and timely service. However, no bartwnder in Japan will batch their cocktails. The cocktail selection here is great - but they're pre-prepped in Erlenmeyer flasks. Not disappointed, just a bit confused. It's a unique experience to be sure. 😊“

“What a find? We had diner at Tyger Tyger Saturday night. Started off with the hand rolled pork wontons. Was a great way to start our meal. We tried the Tyger Tyger Fried Rice, Rockfish with Sour Mustard Greens, Chili Cumin Beef and rounded out our meal with the Wok Blistered Asparagus and the Greens with Walnut and Bacon. WOW what a taste sensation. Favorite…. The Rockfish and Blistered Asparagus. Was very easy to order, the food was ready when we came to pick it up with utensils included. Pick up was all staged in accordance to the social distance guidelines and staff was very polite and accommodating. Can’t wait for the drink menu to become available. Cheers!“

“The Rabbit Box rules for honest Seattle music. Low key, hi-fi, all genres of music and people, great food, and absolutely unique vibe. It’s under historic panels of glass built into the sidewalks on Pike St. at the Market. Seriously, you can hear great sounds, drink a fabulous cocktail and eat super food while you actually enjoy seeing people walk all over you. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Cool vibe, friendly servers & tasty food!“

“Had a great experience here last night for a show at The Paramount. Food was good size portions, the passion fruit ginger soda is well balanced and refreshing, and the coconut crème pie was the perfect mix of flavor and texture. I had the salmon Caesar salad and my husband had the Chicken Schnitzel, both great flavor. We’ll be back specifically for that fresh made focaccia though! Service was great and friendly. On the more pricey side but I would expect that being across from The Paramount.“

“Great drinks, food and wonderful staff! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, welcoming service and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have hit the jackpot of the best bar in Seattle. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner, a fun night out with friends, or just craving a personal dining experience Rochambeau is it! Every time!“

“A good place to stop in for a drink on a cold and rainy night. My bartender was awesome! The logo is pretty cool with an anchor and fishing hook!“

“10/10 would recommend. Off the beaten path, Adrian and team were a delight. You can see that they truly take pride in what they do. Friendly, queer friendly, quality, and vibes are a few of the many wonderful ways I would describe this place. Fantastic meal and drinks“

“Great food and great staff. Always delicious beers and cocktails. Great plant based options.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! It was recommended to me from a co- worker back at home. The attention to detail throughout was incredible.
The only negative comment would have is that when I ordered the El Gury the robe on the drink was a little dirty. While drink and presentation were a hit. Knowing my drink was wrapped in a stained koozie was a little meh. 🫤 I’m sure this gets used a lot. It didn’t take away from the experience. Just something I noted.
We will definitely come back. We LOVED it.“

“We happened to come across this spot last night and caught dinner and the show. Food was great, drinks were strong and the show was much fun! This cast killed it!“

“I made dinner reservations for my staff at A Stir after a conference in Seattle, though I was unable to attend myself—and I must say, I’m so bummed I missed it! The following Monday, I was greeted in the office by my entire team raving about how amazing the food and service were. Every dish was packed with flavor and crafted with quality. With team members who are gluten-free, it was crucial to find a restaurant that offered more than just a basic salad. A Stir exceeded expectations with a full menu of creative, nutritious dishes and an extensive selection of wine, cider, and gluten-free beer. On the morning of our reservation, I received a thoughtful email from the executive chef, Ton, with personalized recommendations. This added such a nice touch and made the experience even smoother for my team. Our reservation was at 6:15, and when my team arrived, dishes were freshly served, hot, and ready—a perfect way to unwind after a long few days at the conference. Dining at A Stir was the ideal way to close out their weekend, and I can’t wait to visit on my next trip to Seattle to experience it myself. Thank you, Ton and the entire A Stir team, for providing my staff with such a refreshing and memorable dining experience!“

“Love to take out of town guests here to wow them.“

“Delicious authentic food and drinks are good. Great service by everyone !!!“

“Stateside was simply fun and excellent. A nice selection of cocktails, including a couple of nice NA cocktails. The food was innovative and delicious. We had the ribs, the sticky rice balls, and the trout. It was all excellent and and well presented. We will definitely go again our next time in Seattle!“

“I came here with my girlfriend this last weekend and not only have I been wanting to come visit for a long time but then we had the absolute pleasure of meeting our wonderful bartender Rachel and she just made the experience even better! I have to give her a shout-out! I can't wait to come back very soon!“

“The cocktails I had were amazing. Staff was awesome and very generous.“

“A fun spot to go with friends. Food was very good, sandwiches were the big draw. The sandwich I ordered was loaded up, not skimpy with their toppings. Lots of drinks options since it is a bar. A very different atmosphere and aesthetic compared to the other local vegan bar I've been to, I like that there's a variety in town. Has a punk rock bar vibe. Went back today again and discovered they have half price drinks on Thursdays. Also tried the cheesecake they had listed for desert and it was very good. Service was once again great too.

“If you’re willing to walk, explore and find breweries in Seattle then this is worth a visit. Not easy to find but then again that’s good as it’s off the beaten track and not touristy. Imperial stout is strong and warming - but small measures as it’s 12.9%! My new favourite summer beer is Acid wave - kiwi, lime and jasmine tea , yep and you can taste all of these . They’ve not put ingredients that you can’t taste or smell like some breweries do! ! They’ve made a sour beer that you can drink and enjoy as opposed to drink and be in pain. They also do food, so after a walk looking for the place, there is sustenance to be had! . Friendly as well.“

“We visited Radiator Whiskey for our wedding anniversary and had a delightful time. The bone marrow was especially amazing, and the server made us feel very comfortable and even readily helped with a minor substitution we requested. Great environment, felt very private even in a busy night.“

“Love the Jazz vibes, the artwork, and the people. Solid and creative pizzas, but the shining star is their bartender/mixologist. Unpretentious, but maybe the best cocktails in a multiple mile radius. Would definitely come back again for the mixed drinks.“

“Great new rooftop at the Populous Hotel with superb cocktails (the pisco drink was excellent) and solid NA options. Our server was fantastic 5/5 service. Bathrooms could’ve been cleaner and lines were long. Despite a reservation, seating was in the side patio where people crowded waiting for tables and bumped several times. Food menu is short but nice—would love a GF option for the crab dip. Busy spot, reservations recommended, perfect for out-of-town guests.“

“Such a fun place to grab a craft cocktail and some pho. The drinks were very unique and the pho was surprisingly very good. We also tried the Tofu Dip and the spring rolls. The dip was delicious but very rich and the spring rolls were very fresh. We definitely ordered too much food but it was delicious and a fun experience.“

“Absolutely horrible experience. Couldn't get the room serviced for 3 days despite speaking to both housekeeping and management. Mansged to get fresh towels at ten at night but they didnt take the old ones so we had 3 days worth of towels in the room .Had to get onto booking.com . Had to be out of the room by 12 so housekeeping could come in but returned every day to nothing having been done . When it was finally done ON THANKSGIVING we weren't given any toilet roll . Then I find out there's NO COFFEE in the bar ,only decaff , despite there being supposed to be a 24hour nespresso pod machine available to the bar. It's SEATTLE for Christs sake . Multiple rooms leaving trash in the Hall due to lack of housekeeping. Theres supposed to ne drinks vouchers given per night staying couldnt get those either .Absolutely HIDEOUS experience and still stuck here for two days .“

“This is a great local restaurant with all the good feelings that go with,,,,and has the plus of truly interesting, tasty, well prepared and well served food.
I've been several times and everything tried on the menu is excellent.
Good for them for getting the NYT accolades, and the team is hustling even more with the increased flow.
Keep it up!“

“Koko's has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Seattle! Coming from California, this is the first restaurant that has incredible mexican food. Along with a great tequila bar, overall great menu, incredible music and vibes, this place is fantastic! Would highly recommend for a 10/10 experience.“

“The Chicken Tacos were perfect! Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie in the morn, then get a sandwich for lunch. when you get off, work go back and have a quick dinner with a drink! they have parking!! (tip your servers, they deserve it). Great prices & convenient if you work, play or live in the area.“
