It is closed. We arrived and had our office coming for a happy hour. I made a reservation and it was confirmed. We arrived to the bar tender yelling at us"We're closed up!". We had no knowledge and online it said open and hours were active. Why would they confirm if they are closed? Why would the door be unlocked and candles on the tables? it was 4:30pm.

Enjoyed New Year's Eve dinner here and it was fabulous. The food was fantastic and the service was great. It was super busy so we could appreciate the slight delay in getting our order in. But, everything was fantastic. Will definitely go again when visiting Seattle.

Honestly the best paella I ever had in Seattle and nothing to say about the espresso martinis WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! I celebrated my birthday there and I had the best time with my friends. My server was a girl named Cynthia, she was amazing!!! Good place for hanging with friends or have a romantic dinner ♥️ ?

Fantastic atmosphere/ambiance. Attentive staff. I’m vegetarian and find that there’s a decent amount of food for me to choose from. I always enjoy the food, as does my steak loving carnivorous girlfriend. Food takes some time when you are busy though but okay if you aren’t in a rush.

Vegetarian options: Mushroom pasta, two types of empanadas

The short stout hostess/waitress needs to find another job in a different industry. I have been a regular for several years and am sad to see this place go downhill so fast.She has so much attitude, lingers behind the bar chatting/flirting with the cooks and bartender. Ignored me several times when I tried to get her attention. And then when 2 tables that arrived after us got their entrees before us, she lied and said ours takes longer. It turns out we ordered the same thing. She gave theirs ours intentionally or mistakenly, and then tried to gaslight us by saying we shouldn't have ordered a complicated dish.The quality of food has also deteriorated significantly. Empanadas are dry and egregiously overpriced, while served on a very unsanitary cracked and moldy wooden cutting board. Drinks have also been diluted with too much syrup

Nice happy hour, good appetizers, old wood bar, and house wine starting at $5 a glass.

My first time in Seattle and first choice for a steak dinner. Couldn't have made a better choice! Coming from Alberta, and the heart of cattle country, I'm incredibly biased on my steak. Unbelievable flavour on the ribeye, the atmosphere was amazing, and when the owner of the restaurant comes table to table to ensure you're satisfied; well it means a lot! If ever in Seattle again, this will always be my first choice!

We have dined at Queen City Grill several times over the years since we got engaged there 31-1/2 years ago! The latest adaption is the addition of Argentine cuisine with amazing grass-fed hand cut steak, homemade pastas and local fresh seafood. It's a hit with a busy vibe yet intimate with the high-backed benches. When choosing a place for dinner, my spouse reviewed the menu and mentioned the appetizer menu had Molljas, pan seared veal sweetbreads, served with a side of chimichurri. I had it as my dinner entre and it more than met my expectation. I was excited wince it's very difficult to find on a menu. My spouse had the Vacio, which was a succulent grass-fed boneless hanger steak that he stated was very flavorful and tender! We've now switched to Hanger steaks at home! The staff was attentive, but not intrusive. It's a well-run restaurant were the staff all help each other for the guest to have the best dining experience. We will be back...with friends!

I visited this restaurant many times already. Always great service, the food is tasty and fresh, Christian provides superb customer service, the owner is on site and tends to the needs of his customers. Love the location as well, stylish yet laid back ambiance. Highly recommended by a fellow argentinian :)
