I was super excited to try this place and the food saw the reviews. Nice setting and all food was good but Tom the bar tender made me feel super uncomfortable and like i missed a sign that said “no coloreds allowed” when i asked is it open seatin he asked me “what am i here to do” tom what do people normally do when they come to sonyas. I feel like sonya would be pissed with the service tom provided to me tonight

We had our Welcome Party before our wedding at Sonya’s and it was absolutely amazing!! I wish I had better pictures, but the back area is a huge space with wooden floors and a beautiful view of the water. Lucas and his team were amazing! They were so quick with the food and their chowder is hands down the best I’ve had in Seattle. All of our guests loved the food and had the best time. The bartender was also great and so quick with the drinks even with a party of over 40. I can’t say enough how impressed we were and will continue to recommend Sonya’s to anyone seeking an amazing space with great food and service.

After watching the bartender / manager make 2 drinks for another customer that were undrinkable we placed an order and set down, one of our people in our party stayed at the bar to order a beeran empty beer bottle he threw him out of the bar and came over to our table and said it was our option to leave as well and mumbled something as he walked off. We were in town as travlers and thank goodness everyone else has been super nice. Warning to other travelers don't expect much!!!

I went here for a birthday party, the back room had plenty of seating, waffle fries were yummy, and the bartender was kind and sweet. Overall great service!

The front of house is low key bar but the back of house is a date night spot for sure.

Just street parking and it’s busy.

Cozy, dim-lit 'sky lounge' with some good food. I got the fish sandwich which was pretty tasty.
Definitely a lovely date night spot.

Judging from the responses from the owner, it’s clear they have a borderline personality disorder. The bar is struggling clearly. They have an identity crisis. They used to be a gay bar that went back to the 70’s. I decided to visit at their new location. They have erased any hint of their gay past. Their choice, but sad.

I walked here from my hotel with my father as it was near bye. We did not have a drink but did order some food. The food was very good and my soup in particular was amazing.

If you're craving a burger that's more than just your average bar fare, Sonya’s Seattle is the place to be. Their burger is not only delicious but also incredibly filling, leaving you satisfied. The fries are delicious! The chicken quesadillas – crispy, flavorful, and so filling I only managed to eat two!What really sets Sonya’s apart is its vibe. It's not just a bar; it's a spacious, chill spot where locals gather to unwind and enjoy great food. When you first walk in, you might think it's just a cozy spot, but venture further and you'll discover a whole other area waiting to be explored.So, if you find yourself in downtown Seattle and in need of a place to relax and refuel, make sure to swing by Sonya’s Seattle. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.4.5/5 food, service and ambiance

We were at the Pike Place Market and looking for somewhere nearby to eat at. We chose to eat at Sonya’s. I got the salad with salmon. It was delicious, the salad was fresh and the crust on the salmon was super good! We also got chicken wings to share, I’m not sure what type of seasoning was used but these were some of the best chicken wings we’ve ever had - loved them!Not too many people in the restaurant. The vibe is more casual. I saw a group get turned away because one did not have their ID and I felt bad.About the server, our service was fine. I think we were judged for not getting drinks but aside from that we had no problems. I’m giving 4 stars cause the food was super good but deducting a point based on immaturity from the owner’s comments in other reviews. A little professionalism would be nice. Learn how to take constructive criticism.
