“On the water. Fantastic food“

“The service was outstanding, our meal was excellent and in a timely fashion. Definitely will bring mom back again for lunch! (French dip & fish tacos).“

“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!“

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

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“Their food is some of the best in Seattle. If you haven’t been there, you need to go and experience 84 Yesler. On par with the finest dining around.“

“This place is amazing. The ambiance is dark and sexy, the staff is beyond welcoming, and the execution of the dishes is consistently on point. The menu is fun and hits from eclectic to classic. My wife and I have been here twice, and both times they slipped us a thank you dish. Normally we like to try different places, but 2120 is a place we’ll go back to again and again. Cocktails are inventive and complex. I have one gripe, I’d love to see this place expand to an international wine list, cause if they do this well at what they already do, their international wine choices would prob be exceptional. Owen Kotler Selections would be a great fit here. Shout out to Jason the Gm and our server was Will (I believe, sorry homie, strong cocktails blur my memory). The desserts man. It’s like everyone here really loves what they’re doing, and intense scrutiny goes into each dish the comes out of that kitchen. Top restaurant in Seattle for sure. More affordable than most too. Much love guys, well done!“

“Such an amazing restaurant, great staff and delish food.“

“Overall, really good experience. Our waitress was funny and engaging. I forget her name but we talked about New Jersey. 5 stars for her all the way. The food was really good but I can't give it a five just because of the waffle. It tasted like it had been sitting around and not hot out of the waffle iron. The eggs (scramble) was really good but the waffle was just missing the mark. I would definitely go back though and try them again.“

“Awesome food - service-atmosphere!!“

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁“

“Seasonal and local faire thoughtfully presented by a knowledgeable staff. Food was delicious and beverages were paired perfectly.“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“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!“

“Interesting cushion of Asian spices/flavoring with western dishes.“

“Disappointed in dinner yesterday. Took my mom out to eat, had the lamb kofta and chicken. Both were not good. The kofta was cool in the middle and the chicken was tough & dry. The lettuce was brown, black, and wilted throughout. I think they were rushing to switch from lunch to dinner and just threw anything together. Completely terrible experience.“

“I was surprised at how good everything was. Good sour beer, and cider, food was very good. Highly recommend.

Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds are good. Korean BBQ Cheese Steak is really good. Whiskey and Aged White Cheddar Burger also very good. CC“

“Great atmosphere here specially if you like tiny dinosaurs, you'll see! Food is always great, the main house burger is a favorite, drinks are nice and staff is always super friendly and kind!
The outdoor patio area in the back is lovely, give it a shot!“

“What an incredibly unique dining experience! The Derby and The Shop offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Seattle - the chance to dine surrounded by classic cars in their storage area. We hosted a private party here and were blown away by both the atmosphere and the food.
The venue is perfect for special events. The car storage setting creates an unexpectedly cool and fun backdrop that had our guests talking all night. It’s industrial yet welcoming, making for great conversation starters and photo opportunities.
The food definitely lived up to the unique setting. The appetizers during our cocktail hour were excellent quality and well-presented. For dinner, the chicken and waffles were absolutely outstanding - perfectly crispy chicken with fluffy waffles that hit all the right notes. The bulgogi lettuce wraps were another standout, offering fresh, flavorful Korean-inspired bites with tender, well-seasoned meat.
Service was attentive throughout our event, and the staff handled our private party seamlessly. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that combines great food with an automotive twist, The Derby and The Shop delivers. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something different from the typical Seattle restaurant scene.“

“Our first dinner in Seattle was at Joey Bellevue, and it was outstanding. We started with the mini French dips, which came with a port red wine au jus reduction easily among the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, I had the steak and ravioli blanco, paired with their signature crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was tender and flavorful, the ravioli was rich and buttery, the shrimp was perfectly fresh, and the crispy mashed potatoes were truly memorable. Our server, Lanesha, went above and beyond to make the night special. She surprised us with a crème brûlée cheesecake with strawberries as a welcome-to-vacation treat, such a thoughtful touch! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined to create a wonderful first-night-in-Seattle experience. Highly recommend Joey Bellevue for both locals and visitors.“

“Excellent service, food, drinks and atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised coming to this bar to have a couple drinks before a concert. Food and drinks came out super fast and were very tasty! Definitely recommend the S.T.F.U. drink and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Tacos.“

“Food was amazing highly recommend“

“I was walking in the area looking for a restaurant to get an early dinner when I saw republic. I don't drink so was hesitant but when I entered I was surprised to see such an inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly, efficient, professional, friendly, and accommodating. The menu was eclectic with unique offerings. I chose the grilled asparagus which was amazingly good , and the beef tips which were tender and delicious. My friend had a cheeseburger which he said was wonderful, and cooked to perfection. It was served with a generous portion of the best fries I have eaten in years. I highly recommend this place!!!“

“What an absolutely fantastic place! I just had a little get together and everything was wonderful. The drinks, people, vibe, and food were all top notch. I would 100% recommend getting that pork belly banh mi. I wish I had one right now lol“

“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.“

“Lovely place. The food was okay but not spectacular. We had several dishes. Some were better than others. I love the octopus!. The dates were good, however they should have put the feta inside the dates as well because otherwise they were a little too sweet. Would return because they do change the menu all the time.“

“My fiance and I went here for a few cocktails and had a wonderful time. Our bartender was Brandon and he was wonderful. The whole staff was very sweet and accommodating. Some cocktail bars give off the too good for you vibe and Canon does an amazing job of making it feel like a normal bar with amazing cocktails! Thanks for a wonderful evening!“

“We spent some time at the bar enjoying the experience of an excellent aperitif.
Alex, the bartender, is something more than a genius. He creates dozens of different bases for cocktails & Co.
Really hope to come back!!!!
STRONGLY SUGGESTED.“

“The kindest staff around! Have come here a few times and am always treated with smiling faces from the waitstaff and kitchen staff. Plus, the foods delicious! The french toast is A++ 👌 Good music, good food, good service. You can’t go wrong!“

“The food is delicious but such a different experience between lunch and dinner. Menus are different and we were excited to try the dinner menu. We were seated at our reservation time of 7:00 p.m. on a Thursday. It was so loud we couldn't carry on a conversation, other clients were drinking and there to be seen and heard. We ordered an appetizer and 2 entrees. The table next to us was seated after we ordered yet they received food prior to us. Our appetizer never showed so we ate our entrees while they then prepared our compensated appetizer. The atmosphere killed it for us. If we decide to go back for dinner we would definitely insist on sitting in a small back area.“

“Had the best lunch today! I had the halibut sandwich and hubby had the tuna sandwich! Dominic was one of the best servers I’ve ever come across! And we travel a lot.“

“The food is exquisite and Chef William is a gem. We can always count on a great meal and having a wonderful night out. We love Violet! We also love sitting at the bar and chatting it up with Kevin. If you want a fun night out, head to Violet! You won’t be disappointed!“

“The only negative part of my experience was the path to get here. The path to the gum wall is a little difficult and as someone that happened to have lower mobility that day, it is unfortunate that there didn't appear to be any other accessible entrances however I personally don't fault them for that as Seattle as a whole can be a little difficult to navigate if you require accessible entrances. As for the service I was very attentively taken care of and served. The atmosphere is incredible, among the best in all of Seattle. Having a meal in this awesome and literal hole in the wall where ambient jazz music plays as you have a drink at a candlelit table with dim lighting was definitely a highlight of my trip. Genuinely the best pizza I've ever had in my life, too. If you've never had figs on a pizza, try it... it'll change your life!“

“Great meal and amazing service. I will definitely be back when I visit Seattle.“

“Delicious food, came out hot and fresh in 7 minutes. Didn't once think I needed ketchup/hot sauce on the taters; they were full of flavor. Super friendly and welcoming staff.“

“If I could give this place ten stars, I would! The food and drinks are the best on the block but it’s just a compliment to the great people who work there. No matter how busy it is they never forget you and make you feel right at home.“

“Great vibe here both inside and outside on the expansive patio. Food was excellent - had the tuna poke, scallops and crème brûlée. Their Bourbon list is probably the biggest in the Seattle metro area. Will have to come back on a Wednesday.“

“This place is so cool. I felt like I was stepping into a 1920's jazz club. There was live jazz, dark and swanky, bartenders shaking up drinks and remarkable service. Not to mention the food was delicious. Try the deviled eggs, thank me later.😊“

“Great Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary’s @brunch👍🏼👍🏼“

“Great private room for my birthday celebration“

“visited the Eve of April 2, 2021: Our server was delightful she was warm and offered suggestive drink psirings that were spot on for what we were looking for to compliment our food. The food was absolutely delicious, and the environment very inviting. The whole evening was a lovely experience. I will definitely be back.“

“awesome food and awesome service“

“Aaron and the team at Surrell are fantastic! We had a 25-person private reception in the back outdoor patio area, and from the beautiful space to the delicious food, it was a truly special experience. Aaron accommodated our requests for some customizations in decor, and took into account all of our food and dietary restrictions beautifully. Even though Surrell specializes in multi-course tasting menus, we chose to do a family-style dinner and it worked out perfectly. Our guests absolutely loved every dish (especially the hors d'oeuvres!), and we appreciate how attentive and friendly the staff were throughout the night. Harry was our main bartender/server and he was wonderful. Thank you again Aaron and team for such an amazing evening!“

“Needed a quick stop with little kids, and this place was great. Had a good variety of your basic American entrees for breakfast and lunch, plus a kids menu which is always a big plus for us. Cody was incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful with ordering!“
