I've never seen EMPLOYEES be able to get away with attacking a man on the "PUBLIC SIDEWALK" for video taping, however I hope your business has suffered for their actions! Where was the manager and why did he/she allow those "THUGS" to act like unprofessional jerks! It's a good thing I wasn't there, things would've gotten real bad, real quick! Every employee on duty that day should have been ARRESTED and FIRED! I hope it was worth it!
The best place for breakfast in Seattle

Portage Bay Cafe in South Lake Union offers a variety of big breakfast plates with large portions, including avocado toast topped with poached eggs. The restaurant is known for its excellent food and service, with many customers praising the quality and taste of the menu options. It has friendly and efficient service, making it a lively spot for guests. While it can be quite loud, this adds to the atmosphere, allowing plenty of time for guests to chat with friends while waiting for a delicious meal. The crab benedict is outstanding, and the oatmeal French toast with the berry bar is particularly noted for its amazing taste. Recent visitors have highlighted the large portions, with one calling the French toast the best ever and praising the fresh berry bar with homemade whipped cream. Although service remains wonderful even when busy, some guests have experienced frustration with seating issues, noting delays despite having reservations. Prices tend to be high, often around $25-30 per person before tax and tip, which some find excessive. The menu does not offer small meal options or sustainable choices, and the check cannot be split three ways. Overall, it’s a popular, lively brunch spot with excellent food and a friendly atmosphere, making it a great recommendation for both locals and out-of-towners.
