Excellent. Just stumbled on this place. Glad I did.

A lovely complement to Seattle's Bell Town. Midst a cool late spring evening... light breeze through antique windows, surrounded by well tended plants, the atmosphere is timeless with a vibe that beckons to today's need for a quiet luxurious booth to nestle into.. with well prepared cocktails and authentic cuisine that does not disappoint. Staff who is attentive yet allows your need for private intimacy. A hidden gem that should be more frequented. I'll visit again when I next return to this quaint corner of a beloved city.

My review might be off because I think you come here for the beef and I had their chicken. My wife had the mussels which she said were ok. The chicken was dry and had really no flavor but was edible. The noise level is off the charts loud.

Everything was so delicious the food the drinks the atmosphere. The mussels we had were cooked perfectly. This is a hidden gem and deserves to have lines out the door. Good job guys can’t wait to go back.

Food, drinks and staff were all excellent.

Host was friendly but we only had 10 minutes to order because my boyfriend and I showed up right before 10pm and they said the kitchen was closing. So we sit down at our booth and almost immediately a man from the BOH ran up to us and asked what we wanted. We said we needed another minute and he rolled his eyes and ran over to take another person’s order. We left right away after taking our complaint to another friendly waiter.

Good spot, cozy, nice atmosphere. Food is a bit different from previous pictures here but still good - I think they changed menu about after pandemic.

Can’t go wrong with a stop into this Belltown staple. Standout dishes for me are the always perfectly cooked burgers with extra crispy fries, the crudités plate as well as the ever changing vegetarian pasta. Pair it all with a thoughtful cocktail or a glass of natural wine.

Linda Derschang is a genius and did not disappoint!Like her other restaurants, Queen City has a very cool vibe. From the music to the elaborate gallery walls to the booths that feel like they have been there forever, it's an elevated neighborhood bar that manages to be hip without being pretentious.The food is a little bit heavy - but totally delicious. Bar food that is higher quality and more expertly executed than the standard.The drinks are great - creative but not over the top.I'd definitely recommend!

My favorite spot in Belltown for the food, the cocktails and the people. Love the vibe and the staff are great! Don’t miss out on the seasonal menu changes, and the cocktails - did I mention those?!!!? ? a classic/iconic Seattle establishment, updated to be a new classic.

The food is pretty good at this new incarnation of this long-standing Belltown spot. Linda Derschang took it over in 2019 and has added signature touches like great cocktails, the Smith burger, and quirky theme nights. Definitely check out the tarot readings from Kat on Tuesdays. The booths are a great date setting and there’s usually parking nearby on weeknights.

We threw my husbands 50th birthday party there and it was FANTASTIC! The food was amazing (the burger, the burrata, the chicken, the crispy cauliflower, the sticky toffee pudding---all fab!) the vibe and decor is sexy and retro and lively. Great service, I can't wait to make this our favorite happy hour. I LOVE what Linda Derschang did; she restored an already fabulous place and made it hip and fun. Cheers Queen City...we love you in Belltown!

Five star cocktails and ambiance. Our server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the wait time for our food was crazy long. Even though when we first arrived the place was almost empty. Also, the food was average. It wasn't bad, but also not rememberable.
