I recently discovered Ba Bar, and it has quickly become my go-to spot in South Lake Union. Being very close to my Amazon office, it’s incredibly convenient for both lunch and dinner.

The service also deserves a special shoutout. On both visits, our server was warm, attentive, and quick to help. Any team member who was around was happy and willing to help instead of making us wait for our server.
But I have to be honest, the seating really took away from my experience.
The high stools...
