About Damn the Weather

Damn the Weather is a charming restaurant in downtown that offers a great ambiance and friendly service, though the staff can sometimes be slow. It serves a variety of dishes, including a small yet expensive burger for $23 and a selection of $10 beers. The Pacific oysters are fresh and come with a delicious mignonette sauce, while the grilled sardines are a unique offering, though the polenta cakes served with them lack flavor. Despite potential safety concerns due to homelessness in the area, the restaurant provides a pleasant experience with a decent beer selection and great appetizers.

The menu features a French influence, with the steak frites being a highlight, especially the fries cooked in duck fat. The food is simple with a variety of options, including clam chowder and a generous steak salad. Customers have enjoyed the fresh Washington oysters, a tasty Caesar salad with anchovies, and a delicious chicken sandwich with fries. The mellow, dark-toned ambiance and friendly service contribute to a relaxing dining experience, and the staff goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, even with to-go orders. Although the wine selection has room for improvement, the cocktails have been praised. Overall, Damn the Weather is a cool, intimate place perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or coworkers, all while embracing the laid-back Seattle vibe.
