“Had lunch at this place before dropping my sister off at the airport. Great place to enjoy dimsum and other chinese food by the SeaTac area. It took us about 10 minutes wait to be served with our food. We ordered through a tablet. You can keep adding items to your menu anytime.We enjoyed the salad prawns. It had watermelons with it; quite refreshing. The seasoned string beans were not that good and quite flavorless; it could be a little saltier and crunchier. I have no complaints for the dim sums. The pork shao bao and shao mai is different from what I’m used to, but they are not bad.A surprisingly good one we ordered was the Singaporean style vermicelli/noodles. The flavors hit the spot! Highly recommended!!“
“Like other people have said the stand out aspect is the view and the ambience! My husband and I went to the bar to order our drink and go sit by the water, so I can't speak to the table service or the inside. There were only a couple bartenders actually making the drinks, so we had to wait in line for a pretty decent amount of time surprisingly, but the drinks themselves were really good even if they are served in plastic cups! The menu online and printed say that the cocktails options are their fall/winter 2023 ones, so I'm not sure if they haven't released the spring ones yet or what. The ones we did have were good, and didn't seem to fall/winter specific. The One Where We Use Gin 8/10 Hendrix Hall - Autumn French 75 10/10 For the price point, the drinks are more expensive - like you would expect at a cocktail bar, but if you separate the fact that the cocktail is in a plastic cup, it is a really good cocktail! I definitely wouldn't make this a regular spot due to the price point, but it's really nice for an occasional hang after work or if you're nearby! Parking validated. When you originally sign up at the garage, it will seem like they will charge you but you just go to the bar and ask for the QR code to scan and the discount will be applied for up to two hours which is $7 worth“
“This is a lovely little find if you are looking for a date night. It's also big enough for a large group, if you want to have a team party or whatnot. It's clean and comfortable and overall just a pleasant spot to hang out. The music wasn't too loud, when the band finished, either, and they turned on pop tunes.There is an elevated band stage, above the bar. No dedicated dance area, which was a bummer. The 2 nights I went were to hear Woods Creek, and they didn't disappoint.The fries are not yummy. Just a heads up. Maybe they use weird oil. Also, one of the wait staff does not speak English, but responds "no", to questions, all the same. Lol So, confirm that you are speaking to someone who understands.There is multi layer parking, literally next door, so that was uber convenient and the shopping complex is a bit higher end and feels safe.I recommend this venue.“
“We came here randomly to celebrate NYE 2024 before heading to a rooftop party to watch the Space Needle NYE show. No reservations are needed, so this place came in clutch. We're so glad we came here! The owners were there and provided NYE hats and party beads, and the whole bar had a champagne toast to celebrate the ball drop in NYC. It was such a nice time, and the owners were very kind in providing NYE gear and champagne for everyone! We had yet to learn before coming here how much of a community vibe you get with this place. We ordered: -The Crab Nachos were super filling and tasty. I'm so glad we got these! They were the perfect final meal to end 2023. I will definitely be back for these. -The Painted Hills Beef Burger was delicious and filling. -While I Was Away - Refreshing and light, perfect pre-dinner drink -Devil's Margarita--This one was pretty strong. I highly recommend it. The flavor mix was interesting. I noticed this was a big hit. There were several tables that got this one. -Some beers, I need to remember which ones, but my partner says they were good! Overall will be back, the prices, the community vibe, and how much you can tell the owners care about their patrons shows. This place tends to be busy with regulars for a reason!“
“I truly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The only annoyance and it is minor. The bartender kept calling me and everyone. "My love." At first, it was cute and welcoming, but after the 3rd or 4th time. The phrase "lost its meaning. And just became filler words. Other than that, I will gladly return. This place was great ? ?“
“As a huge fan of barrel aged spirits & smoked meats this is THE place to visit in the market.Smoked & deep fried chicken thighs & a house barrel aging program make this cozy joint a must spot on any decadent tour of Downtown.Staff & service is always friendly, informative & on point.“
“If you appreciate authenticity and being at the top of your game, in terms of food, drinks and staff, Life on Mars is for you. They are good people caring for their little corner of Capitol Hill, and damn that's a tough thing to do sometimes, yet still they persevere. So grateful this place exists.“
“This place is absolutely adorable and has the best vibe! The decor makes you feel like you’re in a safe place, and the service backs that feeling up. The food is fantastic too! Highly recommend attending Drag Brunch on Sunday, the queens are insanely talented and the atmosphere is electric! JT behind the bar is amazing, and the drinks are delicious and creative! Highly recommend the Buzz Bunny. Food-wise, Chicken and Beignets gives a wonderful twist on the classic chicken and waffles, complete with soft serve! You read that correctly. You really can’t go wrong with a visit to Kamp Social House, where you’ll be treated to an amazing meal by gorgeous and considerate humans!“
“I visited this speakeasy on a Friday night with my husband on recommendation from friends. It is a very small place and mostly seatings are around the bar. Didn’t sound appealing to me but believe me it was fun! I would recommend going in small group of 2 or max 4. I don’t think they accept reservations but we got a table within 10 mins of putting our names. The drinks are amazing! Very flavorful and well made! I loved the dua dua coconut if you are a coffee fan you must try the ca phi tini! Cooling water is also refreshing. In terms of food, we had pho which is made in pho bac downstairs. We also had the tofu rolls and the broccoli cheese dip. My only critic is that the dip came in much later and we were full from the pho so couldn’t do justice with the dip. It was pretty cheesy and heavy. Overall fun time proof being I forgot to click pictures of the drinks ;)“
“We tried getting a table on a Saturday, and the wait was over 2.5 hours. Tried again on a Wednesday, and still waited 2 hours. It was worth the wait. Recommend hitting Coupe & Flute a couple blocks down for a champagne flight. With the old school hip hop blaring and ambiant lighting, it feels as if you're invited to hangout with your older brother and his cool friends. Except this time they're cooking up some of the best plates in Seattle. The wine list was impressive, they have Chenin Blancs heading South from France to South Africa. Cocktails in Corona bottles. Tropical notes blended to foreshadow what was to come. Boy did it come. A consonance of staples with Guamanian twists, the kind that leave your plate clean and has you asking for seconds. Words don't do this place justice. But trust me, there's a reason folks are lining up the block.“
“Parking is very easy on weekdays (except Friday), especially after 9 pm but it can get packed during weekends. Price came out to be around $100 for four drinks, it's on the pricier side but the presentation and concepts are good. We got the lawn boy, Shaballah, campfire in Georgia, and Snow White's bong. I'd recommend the first two for people who enjoy sweet drinks and the latter two for people who want something different. They have almost 5,000 labels in house so if you're a spirit enthusiast, this is the place for you. Great place to take a date after dinner but service can take a little long depending on how busy they are.“
“Absolutely gorgeous venue with incredible staff! I got the Shades of Bae cocktail, and it was amazing! If you like fruity drinks, you have to try it! The view is absolutely amazing! I would recommend going in the spring or summer to enjoy the outdoor seating. There are heaters outside, but not all the tables have heaters connected to them. Staff also provide blankets if you ask, which was super helpful!“
“We finally got here on Christmas Eve. Easy parking!Steve was very welcoming and took care of everybody very well.We got our drinks in record time - a great Dirty Martini, and beer my husband liked. Then fried spring rolls, very tasty! Gochujang wings were nicely spiced and very crispy! There was a special of stewed pork with 5 spice that was so good I wanted a big plate of it! And so many more things to try! We hope to be regulars on weeknights.“
“My partner chose Stateside for his birthday dinner, and it was all around an excellent experience! Ambiance is modern, clean, and not stuffy at all. You'd feel just as comfortable in athleisure as you would in dressy cocktail attire here. Staff was welcoming and extremely knowledgeable, and paced the meal perfectly. We started out with a cocktail each--I can't recall the names as their website cocktail menu does not match what we saw, but my partner had a mule with lime leaf and galangal that was absolutely spectacular. The lime leaf and galangal made my palate SING and it was hands down the best iteration of a mule we've ever had. Now the most important part: FOOD. CRISPY DUCK FRESH ROLLS | Y'all weren't playing, this was the GOAT, and by far our favorite dish. It was texturally perfect, and I do not throw that description around lightly. The crispness of the spring roll inside a fresh roll!? Absolutely genius. I will say that my Korean American palate registered the seasoning on this as just barely teetering on a tiny bit oversalted side (esp with the accompanying dipping sauce), but the texture was so divine that I really can't dock it. STICKY RICE DUMPLINGS | A deconstructed dumpling, really. The rice dumpling on its own would have been nothing to write home about, but the combination of everything (ethereally fluffy dungeness crab! earthy maitake! perfectly cooked taro!) with the broth made it all work so well, especially texturally. The broth was basically buttery liquid gold. MASTER STOCK CRISPY CHICKEN | This was perfectly good chicken, but I can't say it was that memorable as a whole. We ordered a side of the brussel sprouts which were delicious (again, texture was on point with the rice cracker pieces) as well as the ginger rice to go along with this, and I have to say the brussel sprouts were far more memorable. Superb texture really seemed to be the central theme of our dinner, so while I'd really recommend Stateside to everyone, I'd ESPECIALLY recommend it for those who have an extra appreciation for textural masterpieces.“
“Love me some speak-easy bars! What a lovely find! Despite being a Seattle native, I'm not familiar with what Seattle has to offer in terms of speak-easies. I have visited a number in Philadelphia as well as NY city. I suppose I simply doubted Seattle could live up to my east coast experiences. I'm happy to say Roquette proved me wrong! Firstly, true to the speak-easy persona, the entrance was questionable in identification. We couldn't tell if we were at the right place or if it was even open. When we recognized the entrance however, we easily entered and found ourselves in a very cool, throwback, swanky bar. It was relatively intimate and seating was readily available because we arrived around 5:30pm. Happy hour lasts until 7pm, which makes sense because that's prime dinner time rather than "drinking time." Unfortunately, our visit was a few weeks ago and I can't recall the exact drinks we ordered, but they were excellent cocktails that weren't OVERLY sweet like many bars do. There were generous pours of liquor, and fruit cocktails were made with fresh fruit. I only remembered to do this review because we are pending a second visit before the New Year and needed to send this place some love! Great find! Hopefully, it doesn't change with increasing popularity, as is often the case with some businesses.“
“Best Indian food I've tasted in WA! My hubs & I went there on a whim and was pleasantly surprised with every bite. At first we weren't hungry enough for a buffet however, the spread was visually stunning that I'm so glad we jumped in. We absolutely loved the mezze sampler appetizers, which was delightfully light. The Manchurian gobi was crispy and savory. I'm not a vegetarian but the available options convinced me that perhaps I could be about that life. As anticipated there was an abundance of curry but I stayed faithful to butter chicken. My gosh the chicken was tender and smooth. The dessert options were minimal but still hit the spot, specifically the carrot halwa paired with some naan. Don't doubt... Just do it!!!“
“I can't even begin to describe the Noir show. It was just that good! I brought my son's girlfriend out for her 21st birthday. We're already planning for the next one. You can see the cast loves what they do. Ps. The rubber band thingy worked out.“
“Great ambience for sure. And amazing cocktails menu. Though we just had mimosas but I really wanted to try the cocktails. Definitely going back there for this. The food is great too for sure. The staff is very cute & friendly.Be on time for your reservation it is a busy place & they don’t hold the table/reservation for 15 mins. We lost our table cuz we were late but we waited there for 10-15 mins and got the table cuz then we listed ourselves on the waitlist. This prolly might not be the case on I guess we got lucky lol.All in all, a great place for brunch. Definitely going back there. :))Cheers!!“
“Lovely staff, outstanding cocktails, and superb sushi with a kitchen that is open fairly late. I have celiac disease and the gluten free menu is quite extensive. I've never had an issue here. They can do takeout when the place isn't too busy, but take the time to sit down if you can.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options! I'm sensitive to cross contamination, and have done well here.“
“Absolutely delish pizza and very kind staff!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options and even vegan cheese available for $3Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust for $4 !!Wheelchair accessibility: Easily can get power or push wheelchair into the restaurant and up to a table“
“We had dinner there while in Seattle. It was walking distance from our hotel. The wait was not that long although we didn’t have a reservation. This was a spur of the moment for the weekend. The ambiance was relax, nice decor and the lights were slightly dim. Our waiter was friendly and service was wonderful. We enjoyed the food as well as the presentation. We would definitely return to explore more. This is nice restaurant for a date or family dinner.“
“One of the best hotel experiences I have had in a while. The hotel is lovely, the room we had (queen bed suite) was spacious and clean, and the overall atmosphere was so inviting. We initially booked here because the were willing to accept my 2 adventure cats (not all pet friendly hotels take cats). We did not need to bring the cats this time, but will for sure on our next trip down. The hotel was walking distance to many of the things we were there to see, which was a huge bonus. A massive shout out to some exceptional “everything” people. Bonnie and Chandra at the front desk, so personable and inviting every time we walked through the doors. To Chloe the barista at Pineapple Express who always appreciated our willingness to arrive at 715 in our PJs and fancy robe lol. And Darryl at the bar who made our last evenings stay funny and memorable. We will be back 100%.“
“Definitely try the food! We've tried the yakisoba and bulgogi beef and they were both very good. They are very creative with their spices which elevated both dishes and they were surprise hits. The cocktails are also great. I recommend the cold Giving tree. It's a really delightful cocktail. They also host a bunch of events (ex drag show bingo and water color painting classes) that are very fun. All in all, a great place to visit if you find yourself in Cap Hill!“
“A swanky, fancy, quirky cocktail bar with low lighting and very interesting/strange/unique/fun drinks! I went with friends but we all agreed this would definitely be a great date night spot. Each drink had lots of different flavors that were well balanced but somewhat surprising. My friend got a rum based cocktail with coconut cream, pandan, and Thai curry spices and you could taste each of these in succession. It was fascinating. I'd definitely recommend this spot for fancy unique cocktails!“
“A unique, fun, friendly indie wrestling bar. Good place to watch live televised wrestling or just hang out for a beer. Not a great food menu, but there is a good happy hour beer special 6-8. They air televised "live" wrestling at 8 instead of 5, so be there by 8! This is a truly one-of-a-kind gem.“
“I have been to Cook Weaver 5 times now and it is amazing every time. They are now a tasting menu and they have a lot of amazing flavors. The vegetarian tasting menu is so savory. This time was the best I have ever had there with lots of mushrooms and nori. The service was so friendly and fun. The murals are gorgeous and the building is a cute little spot. I will continue to come here for special times in my life. Some of the best dishes of my life, definitely on par with Michelin starred restaurants we have tried in the past. The other members of my party raved about the omnivore menu. Pricey but definitely worth every penny. The wine pairing was great too with some really unique choices.“
“A dimly lit, great vibes restaurant with some of the best food in Seattle! Up there with Spinasse, Six Seven, Matt’s… Canlis? Some drop your socks duck, steak, and amazing apps like burrata and roasted carrots. The burrata was probably the best I’ve had (and I’ve been to Italy. Don’t tell the Italians I said that).“
“Great bar food menu and surprisingly good table service. Usually bars that serve food either require you to order at the bar or have long waits. The waitress was attentive and took our orders quickly once we sat down.My friends and I shared the Brisket Nachos, Fish & Chips, Chicken Wings, and then both dessert offerings (flourless chocolate cake and fruit cobbler). One of my friend's loves the nachos, but I especially liked the coleslaw that came with the Fish & Chips and the cobbler.I've been here in the summer and their back patio is a great place to grab lunch on a sunny day. It's surprisingly private and quiet because of the surrounding fence.“
Cocktail Bar •
“Came for cocktail week and loved to see a woman owned spot! The entire staff working was women which was awesome. We got the kale and potatoes which were absolutely delicious. I want to figure out how to make that kale as it was so good! Love that they have boozy, light booze, and mocktails. Fun spot for a few apps and drinks.“
“The breakfasts are very popular in this place and the truth is that it is worth visiting. What we ordered was very delicious. The portions are large and they have a variety of juices. It is very well located one block from the famous Pike Place Market. The prices are fair and the very comfortable place, very good attention, very recommendable ?“
“This place is an absolute gem with the best service anywhere in Seattle. I went for the first time during their "Tiki Peaks" theme and have been back several times since. I'm a huge Twin Peaks fan and had no idea that was even going on, so it made for the perfect surprise to see the place and the menu decked out in TP references. The cocktails are wonderful with interesting ingredients and the presentation is beautiful, which makes it hard not to stay for an extra drink or two. The food menu is, admittedly, not really my thing so I haven't tried too many options, but it's delicious if you're into some high quality homemade crunchwraps. The huckleberry tres leches was delicious too. And one of my favorite things about this place is that they regularly sell fun merch and replica props from film/TV.“
“We loooove Jude’s! What a hidden gem. Awesome food & drink menus, great vegan options, friendly service, cool little patio, and just a lovely neighborhood feel to it. Only downside is you have a wait a little while for your food when they get busy.“
“We were in Seattle for a conference and stumbled upon Dead Line completely by accident when the place next door couldn't accommodate our party. Since there were nine of us, they seated us in their private room which had couches and comfy chairs and a cozy, speakeasy atmosphere. It was late so we ordered cocktails and a variety of small plates. I ordered the Tarragon Negroni and, seriously, it is the best cocktail I have ever had. I'm sad that I live 1100 miles away and can't return for another one. All of the small plates we ordered were tasty but my favorite was the Potato Cheese Empanadas. Our server was informative, attentive and entertaining. What a great find!“
“I worked with Dereck to host a semi-private party of about 25 people here. He reserved an area for us to mingle, eat, and drink. The service was excellent - staff handled our large group and the tabs flawlessly. Drinks and food were fast and served to the right people. They helped bring out our cake and served it according to my specific instructions. Dereck had excellent communication and even gave us some nice extra touches like birthday balloons, which was very sweet. Drinks and wings were delicious. Try the sour flower cocktail!I would definitely have another event here because they made it so easy for me and did such a great job!“
“This is a great spot for a date night or a bunch of friends getting together for some fun. Even on tuesday night, this place definitely can fill up. And on Fridays, they have matches, which i still need to go to. This has been one of my seattle secret go tos for years.“
“If you didn’t know it was there already you might have just missed it. Great spot, we had a really nice time! The staff was clearly working as a team and taking care of each other as well as us, everyone was having such a great time, there was an AM birthday party, sports, laughs - good food and fast too! We will be back!“
“"Do ya like smooth jazz?"The jazzzz the staffff the cocktailsss... All, excellent. The Zig Zag burger was also very good. I wasn't a fan of the coconut risotto, but everything else was great. Our server, Kaira, was so cool I can't even lie. Good experience!“
“If the ladies here have a million fans, I am one of them. If they have one fan, it is me. If they have zero fans, I am dead. I’m moving out of the hill soon and will miss this place so much! I even brought my family from Texas here as one of my must try’s. Everything is so good and they’re always so patient with us. Amazing!“
“First time here for a happy hour with a friend and we didn't realize it was trivia night. We ended up playing and having a good time, servers were fun and played along. They also had great drinks and had GF pita so I could enjoy the hummus with more than just veggies!Dietary restrictions: Some gluten free (GF) options“
“Lewis; Sunday bartender, exuded a great Sunday service. Wonderful location. Friendly bartenders! All days!Great after show spot for a post concert - event!! Better than any surrounding bars!The best dive bar to be found near Climate Pledge, hands down!!!“
“Incredible menu for someone with a range of food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, egg) who still eats meat! Our kind server walked us through the menu, answering all of our questions with contagious enthusiasm about each of the items discussed. The space is bright and cozy on a sunny day.Our visit was a few months ago but I still remember winding our way through many fun textures and flavors! Creamy hummus, satisfyingly crunchy tomato cucumber salad, and a dense green spicy sauce on the side. Since we don't often drive by this spot, I think a phone reminder may be the key to visiting more often!“
“This was such a treat. My husband is heavily into Chinese cooking and particularly loves siuhchuan and I am gluten free and can never eat Chinese out with him. Not only were most dishes available gluten free but the food was phenomenal. In the top 3 best meals I've had in Seattle and we eat at a lot of restaurants. Highly recommend. Just don't do what I did and rub your eye after.Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options.“
“I've been coming to Rochambeau for about 2 years now and over that time I have tried nearly every cocktail on the menu, as well as dozens off the menu and I've yet to be disappointed.I'm continually impressed by the creativity and deep knowledge of the Rochambeau crew. When I first started coming here, I thought I hated most kinds of spirits, but they have completely changed my opinion on just about everything for the better.As far as the food goes, words don't cut it. Some of the absolute best bites I've had in my life have been at Rochambeau. With a rapidly changing menu, there's always something new to try, and the portions are quite generous too.The atmosphere is great, the music selection is always fun, and it's a vibrant place to socialize with locals and people passing through alike. The crew are all cool as hell, unpretentious, and extremely good at what they do. It's incredible what 4 (now 3) individuals pulling together in the same direction can put out night after night.Cool bar!“
“What a lovely place to have an unusual, creative cocktail with someone you want to spend the evening talking with. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, ideal for unwinding. The mixologist was delighted to customize our drink choice and eager to know our thoughts. The cocktail menu is so interesting, with combinations I have never seen before. The furniture is warm and inviting. The area is a bit sketchy, as another poster warriors, but stepping inside it was like an oasis.“
Coffee Shops • $$
“Tea $3.5Hot Chocolate $4.0A stylish cafe attached to a bicycle shop ☕It's located in an area called Chophouse Row, which is full of small shops, so it had a very calm atmosphere.This is a shop that is set back from the road.The tea was delicious and the mug was so cute that it made me feel good!It's bigger than I expected, and there's plenty of seating. There was also outside seating.The store was decorated with many ornamental plants I want to go there again to relax!Thank you for the meal?“
“Great food and ambience, super friendly staff. I wish the kitchen paid attention to specifics of the order, I specifically asked to not have a condiment on my dishes and all of it came with it. That said the food is high quality.Dietary restrictions: Be clear if you have dietary restrictions, double check your order on arrival.“
“we heard the coleman was really good so we tried it. this was our first visit and we were not disappointed. we both had their tuna sandwich which was really good. we tried their special brown sugsr maple latte which was very good. service was amazing and friendly staff. the seating arrangement is very nice. we looked at their dinner menu and want to try the short ribs. the waitress made them sound yummy!! a definite place to enjoy a relaxing meal!!“
“Tried this place for the first time today and it was fantastic. Phenomenal food and top notch service.I personally recommend the cauliflower fritters, mushroom risotto, or the vegetable stir-fry. Also, for dessert, the chocolate lava cake was incredible.“
“If you're looking for a unique bar experience, this is it. The decor and drink presentations are extremely creative and fun. I appreciated their selection of non-alcoholic options. I got the Unleaded and while it is extremely unique, I probably would order something else if we went back. Very flavorful with lots of herbal notes, just not my favorite. The server was friendly and service was good.“
“This is our first time visiting 5 Hermanos. The service was excellent! The staff is very friendly and courteous. We might have come on the chef's off day because the food was good but seemed to be missing something.We'll definitely give them another shot some time in the future.March 2024It's been a year or two since I've visited 5 Hermanos. I was very pleasantly surprised today! The food was great! I had tacos al carbón which were very flavorful. The beans were awesome! My wife who avoids them at all costs actually liked them.The prices did increase but by a reasonable amount and the portions didn't shrink!We're going to definitely come back soon.“
