If you like bourbon do not hesitate!!“

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.“

“Some Random Bar is a great neighborhood spot in Belltown, right around the corner of 1st Avenue and Vine Street. 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.“

“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.“

“Any steak…. Crab cakes, although have been reduced in size. UFO, halibut stuffed with crab was the best thing on the menu…. However not available anymore…. Hopefully the halibut stuffed with crab will come back on the menu soon….“

“My husband and I are in town visiting and saw this not too far from the Link and decided to try it out. We had a short wait before we were seated. Had prompt, wonderful service from Michelle, and amazing food with giant portions. I typically only eat half of anything I order, but the food was so good, I ate 90% of my meal. If you are visiting, or live in the area, this is definitely a must for breakfast, lunch or brunch.“

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

“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.“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“Nick's was a delightful stop on my Madison walkabout. Service at the bar was attentive and helpful, and my shrimp cocktail tangy and fresh. Drinks were solid as well. The bar seats could maybe use a refresh though. Vibes inside were definitely neighborhood focussed - felt like Nick's is a local favorite.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing staff and Tommy Patrick is a wonderful host.“

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

“Creative menu, always well prepared.“

“good coffee and reasonable price“

“Extraordinary food. Great service!“

“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.“

“Wow. This place was amazing. Helen was a great server- she had the best recommendations. Our cocktails were amazing and unique and the Burrata and deviled eggs were two of the best things we ate in the city! That pesto on the burrata was phenomenal. 😋 Definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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..“
