The wings are tasty, the sunday cheesesteak is dynamite. they serve a terrific smoked old fashioned and many drinks on the cocktail list are spectacular. throw in friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere and you’re all set! love this place.“

“Went here for my boyfriend's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff really went out of their way to make it a great experience. The manager, Zephyr, is an absolute delight. We came in from shoreline, so it's a bit out of the way for us, but we're for sure going to make a point to come back.“

“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“

“Beautiful historic building, amazing food and great craft cocktails.“

“We enjoy Harry’s for special occasions, tonight we came for a couple of items in mind and we should have came earlier as they had sold out of the entree. Our server Jesse was more than apologetic and rescued the evening with authentic hospitality. Excited to return for our next evening out at Harry’s Beach House.“

“Sometimes a place hits just right. If you’re lucky you can get a table by the window for that epic 1st and Pike people watching. Get some braised brisket and appreciate. I liked the space with the exposed wood ceiling and old school windows. Service was timely and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try the baked fontina cheese dip appetizer or the fried bread pudding.“

“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.“

“Great food“

“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!“

“Excellent food. Wonderful service .. Recommend The Shambles steaks… all of them🙃“

“They have a Peaches & French Toast special that is out of this world delicious!!“

“They have THREE egg substitutes, which is amazing! There's Just egg, tofu scramble, and a 'fried egg' product that has a runny 'yolk' if you're into that. Amazing to find options! We had the vegan tenders and waffle, and biscuits and gravy, with a side of tofu bacon, tofu scramble, and a Cloud9 cocktail. Everything was great! I think the biscuits was the star of the show, the gravy was Awesome, and the dish was So satisfying. The kale that came with it was a really nice contrast to the rest of the dish because it was almost like it was air fried; more crisp than I was expecting. Really nice. The waffle and tenders was really good, but the tenders weren't anything super amazing. They nail the buttery diner style waffle, and the syrup is really high quality. Tofu scramble is great! The tofu bacon is a great texture and flavor, but under salted, but I feel like that's a really minor complaint. Cloud9 cocktail was REALLY good, but a bit sweet for me personally. If you like bubble tea, this is for you. The staff are wonderful people, our waitress was also vegetarian and super grossed out by eggs, and it's a very Twin Peaks vibe place. We will be back, and encourage everyone to check them out!“

“😍Amazing brunch & BEST ETHIOPIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD - staff is spectacular!!!“

“Nice place to seat back and relax“

“Really very devious food service. Highly RecommendedRecomanded“

“I have eaten at Toulouse Petit many times. It is my husband and I's favorite spot. We have tried many items on the menus and have never walked away unsatisfied. The food is always amazing, the service is kind, and it’s just a place I love coming back to. If you’ve never been, you should definitely check it out. It’s one of Seattle’s best.“

“Perfect atmosphere and exceptional service and food ❤️❤️❤️“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“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!“

“las quesadillas con tortillas echas a mano estan muy buenas“

“Creative menu, always well prepared.“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“Everything was delicious! We will definitely be recommending Circa to all of our friends.“

“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.“

“A fantastic place to eat amazing food. The owner was so personable and friendly. This is definitely a place that we will come back to.“

“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..“

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

“Zig Zag Cafe is a Seattle institution. Live jazz, an incredible location that's both hidden but right on the waterfront, great food/drink, and a fun vibe? Hard to go wrong. I appreciated the variety of food and drink available and pretty much everything we received was good to delicious. Would come back for sure!“

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

“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!“

“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..........!“

“Always a favorite, parking is easy, shade when eating a great meal, a heater when it’s chilly. Stopping since mid 1990.“

“Went there tonight and it was packed since it was football playoffs. We had outstanding service, Everytime a glass got close to empty someone came to ask if we wanted a refill. The food was outstanding as well. I ordered a custom made sandwich and even though they were crazy busy it came out hot and exactly as I ordered. Love this experience. Will be back!“

“Live music, good food, funky atmosphere, great staff, cocktails, and walking distance. What’s not to love. Check this place out.“
