Used to love this place. Now the bartenders are on a power trip and super disrespectful to customers. Sad 😞

Cozy, with a ton of personality and very classy. Loved it!

I had the best experience coming here! From the host Dannon, to our server Anna, service was top notch. My party and I all had lots of questions and everyone was super helpful. The food was as is described; comfort. The lumpia was a stand out as well as the veggie patties. Next time I will definitely be trying the Ube Bread Pudding. As if the food isn’t enough - the drinks are very clearly thoughtfully crafted. I had the Pecadillo which had a mellow sweetness with a tart ending. Perfection, big thanks to my bar tender Daniel! If you are looking for elevated drinks, Filipino street food, sandwiches, and generous plates - come find the little speakeasy on an unsuspecting corner of Cap Hill.

It was a great experience from start to finish. Everything was exceptional. If you’re looking for good food and drinks and a unique vibe this is your place.

As Filipina I am glad to see Filipino entrepreneurs and women doing business (and with filipino food and drinks their way too) all these years. It makes me proud. I also like the food, comforting the way our food should be in my opinion. We had the pork adobo and eggplant Sammy and pork lumpia-very good and tastes homemade. We also had drinks, Calamansi Kiss for me and my friend Thank You for Smoking. Not cheap but I don’t own a restaurant on Capitol Hill Seattle. I doubt they have much choice. I hope they keep going. A lot is closing all over Seattle. Support local. Salamat Knee High-we will be back.

Not impressed at all. Had to make reservations just to find out the place was empty, staff was nice but low energy and closed at 1130pm on a Friday night. Drinks were good, but not worth the price or wait. Go to one of the other bars on the block that are way better.

Came here with a large group a few weeks back and was overcharged multiple items on our bill that we didn’t catch until splitting up the final tab the following morning. We quickly signed our check and left because our server would show up once every 20 minutes. They don’t have a phone number so I reached out via e-mail with a copy of the receipt about the overcharge, and never received a response.
The service itself was mediocre, but we still tipped 20% because we were a large group and generally won’t tip below that in this economy unless it’s truly terrible. We hardly saw our server who was much more attentive to the large group seated next to us (and who I assume we were charged part of their bill). I’ve been here a number of times before and the food isn’t what it used to be. As a Filipina myself, a lot of flavor seems to have left the recipes into watered down versions.
Hoping they’ll improve their customer service in the future.

5 stars all around. Went in last week for a friend's birthday dinner and the staff was absolutely phenomenal. There were 10 of us in our party and the staff did not miss a beat. Everyone's food and drink was amazing, the staff was friendly and efficient, the vibe was top tier. I've always been a fan of Knee High, but it had been awhile since I'd gone, will definitely be coming back soon! Thanks again!
Drinks were like most speakeasies but less innovative I'd say. mostly just smoke focused. Service was extremely slow and then they sorta tried to give the bill and rush us out. Then barely took the cards to close out the check because staff was all busy chatting instead of checking on customers.

I am not willing to mark it down because i love this cute, tiny, almost bespoke hideaway! I love everything about the reservation process, to ringing the door, to its almost speakeasy-esque privateness. I appreciate that they hung heavy velvet curtains and had a space heater at the table near to the door because it is winter time and cold. The cocktails were amazing. The service impeccable. The lighting spot on. Yet, I was kind of uncomfortable and squeezed in. I appreciate the absolute lack of space, but maybe some chair cushions? I was ok with our cocktail, then skedaddle because the overall seating was uncomfortable. But again, not willing to deduct a star for something unfixable like a realestate issue. Maybe entertain the idea of more cozy chairs?
Perspective Opinions
Speakeasy bar located in Capitol Hill corner triangle building. There is no sign except a small metal sign next to door that is unlit. Very cozy place to sit and chat over a luxurious cocktail. Music choice by the bartenders is also very good for ambience. The old fashioned gets lit up with cinnamon stick as shown in photo.

Drinks were A+! Will definitely be back. Our bartender Daniel knew what he was doing and was super chill. Would recommend if you’re visiting Seattle
