Service was great. Food, not so much. Warm beer, dry chicken sandwich, overly salted prawn ceasar salad. We were expecting better.

Food was surprisingly better than expected since the waitress said she thought the cook left for the night 🤔 Service was really slow, given it was a Wednesday night at 8pm and hardly anyone in restaurant. Waiting 10 minutes for someone to take your drink order in what is essentially—a bar…is too long. Not a cheap meal given what we had. 20% mandatory fee added doesn’t help me love this place given the mediocre service. Will pass on next visit to Seattle.

Was here for a private tasting event, but even in non surcharge event days they're super welcoming. Food is fine, drinks are excellent.

They add a 20% service fee instead of letting you decide what to tip and they then tax that 10%. Service/tip should be before tax, not after.

Superb cocktail menu with interesting flavor profiles. Drinks are pricey but worth it

I was disappointed that - not realizing they had automatically included a 20% gratuity fee, the server didn't say anything when I added additional tip, thinking that it hadn't already been included.

Excellent whiskey based cocktails. Always a fan of their Fremont Sour and Vieux Carre!!

Good ambience but the food and cocktail drinks were bad (maybe their whiskey section is better as they specialize in that) and super expensive. Small portion size and not worth it at all. They also add 20% service charge even though it was just the two of us and don't clarify it in tip section.

Good drinks and service but 20% service fee is obnoxious. I’ll drink elsewhere.

Bad service twice in a row, tiny and expensive dishes, and food is not very good (except for the fries).

Disappointing service, mislead us on 50% off the Scotch but not the whiskey - didn't bother to tell us when we ordered directly per the recommendation.

20% service fee ALL retained by the owner. This is wage theft. Plain and simple. Really would have gone back but it left a disgusting taste in our mouth. Save yourself the trip and go to Dreamland next door.

So tired of restaurants that add a "20% living wage" fee, that can be retained by the company (unlike tips) instead of just correctly displaying their prices.

Très bel endroit pour prendre un verre, un cocktail, ou un plat servi même en après-midi. Nos choix étaient très réussis, la planche charcuterie /fromage très bonne et assez « traditionnelle » pour convenir à nos goûts français. La terrasse ombragée en bordure de rue est très sympa et le l’ambiance à l’intérieur vraiment cosy. Serveur sympa et disponible.
