This is one of Seattle’s finest gems. It’s a genuine treat to hang with the staff here in their exhibition craft cocktail bar & kitchen. They always have a great selection of unique spirits and fantastic house cocktails, as well as most classics, plus my favorite, Malort! Their farm fresh menu shines when you’re looking for a nice dinner date night before an event, or a place to sit, read and enjoy whatever the fried snack of the day might be!

Great drinks, food and wonderful staff! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, welcoming service and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have hit the jackpot of the best bar in Seattle. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner, a fun night out with friends, or just craving a personal dining experience Rochambeau is it! Every time!

I was excited to try this place based on the reviews, and having eaten just about everywhere else in Lower Queen Anne. The service was friendly, and it has a nice neighborhood/community atmosphere. But the food was ... very average. Perhaps I was just unlucky with their menu rotation today, but both dishes I ordered were disappointing. The pork belly was under-seasoned and surprisingly tough, and the accompanying vegetables were dull save for the charred lettuce. (When the highlight of a $65 meal for one is the lettuce, that says something.) The cheesecake slice was small, tasted well acquainted with refrigerators, and came with a macerated strawberry sauce that leaned much more into macerated than strawberry. I believe this place has a lot of potential, but did not quite rise to it on this occasion.

Be warned, they are serious about timeliness and enforcing rules. Our ferry was delayed by a pod of whales and we arrived at 5:48 for our 5:30 reservation. Despite our calling ahead to explain, they cancelled our reservation. A kindness would have been putting us on the wait list, but they did not. A walk up next to us got the last table while we were being admonished.

Small joint with counter seating. We had the fresh pasta Bolognese and tomato bisque and beet salad. The only miss was the beets were undercooked. Otherwise a terrific menu. My friend had the beet cocktail and it was yummy. That pasta is going to be on my mind for awhile

Food was okay. Enjoyed our scallops but we both did not enjoy our lamb dish - it was on a spread of eggplant puree that was far too bitter from letting red wine reduce too long. Too over-priced for mediocre food. We also tried to order hush puppies (what they are known for) and they were sold out for a 6pm reservation - this made an already very small menu even smaller of a selection to choose from.

Great cocktails and food in this cozy spot.
Met a friend for dinner before a show. It's an intimate space best suited to parties of 1-3 people (bar seating only with a few standing cocktail tables).
The rules are on the website and are very clear (no seating till your whole party is there, no saving or moving seats, no substitutions, limited menu so not great for allergies unless the menu happens to work that day). I would only take certain friends here.
I had a spirit forward bartender's choice mocktail with a ginger syrup and a Not the Buttons cocktail similar to an old-fashioned. Both were delicious.
We shared the hush puppies and sloppy joes and had plenty of food for a light dinner.
Dietary restrictions: No substitutions, although you can tell them about allergies in advance. My husband has a handful of allergies and I wouldn't take him here for food, although he'd love the drinks.
Wheelchair accessibility: Since it's all bar seating and stand up cocktail tables in a close space, it's not wheelchair friendly.

Great place for a cocktail or dinner. The menu features fun seasonal ingredients and rotates frequently, so there’s always something new and fun.

David and Conner are some of the best people I know, and the ideas for the food and drinks they create constantly to keep the menu fresh and consistent, that's hard to do, but they do it. And it shows. I always look forward to my days off to stop in and see what they came up with in the "lab" haha, it's a fantastic first date setting as well as regular date night, or just any night setting. Highly recommend 👌
