Service was slow; we were there for dinner on Valentine's Day. 1 person wearing an outdoor parka seated guests. One waiter served all guests. Beverage ordered was not brought and went unnoticed. Had to ask for its charge to be removed from bill. Chicken entree was good; Waygu burger had an unexpected amount of gristle. A 20% Service Fee auto applied that by the note on the bill is shared with all on the service team. For our visit, our experience, Fee felt excessive.

This was very expensive for what we got. The drinks were good, but were $20 each. They didn't have our reservation from open table, but there were so many seats it didn't matter. There seemed to be only one drink menu and the waiter took it from us to give to another table, and then had to take it from that table when another table was filled. The meat was overly fatty, and pretty sure the potatoes were instant. All for $50 a plate. Then there was a 20% tip built into the tab. We will not be back.

The continental breakfast is actually $38. I’M SORRY WHAT. ($30 for the “buffet” and $8 in taxes and automatic gratuity)
No menus on the table. No price posted anywhere. It absolutely gave every appearance of being a free complimentary breakfast. Limp bacon, bland scrambled eggs, and uninspiring cereal and bagels. Dear readers, it was not a buffet. It was a hotel continental breakfast. I was utterly appalled at the attempt to charge me for this meal.

Stopped in for a nice breakfast before a day of Seattle sightseeing. The menu has all the basics for a good breakfast. The food was hot and tasty! Our server was Yen, who was the hostess, barista and server for the whole front area of the restaurant! She was SO kind, pleasant, efficient and sincere in her efforts to make sure we had what we needed. She is a gem of a staff person and I hope her management gives her a raise!

We needed a place to connect for a business meeting & quick lunch. For those needs, we were satisfied. The food was good & service was perfect, but we were the only table for lunch. It was cavernous and our voices carried throughout the space. We were hardly finished when we were told the place was going to close & we'd need to hurry out. All was fine, just didn't feel like a $20 sandwich atmosphere.

Such a nice find! Crab Benedicts were delicious and service was great (Liza was really wonderfully helpful and kind), only wish they served breakfast later and had lower prices.

The service was top notch, and clearly the servers are into their jobs and provided top notch service. We share the huckleberry pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns with the addition of 2 eggs over medium. Eggs were probably just slightly overcooked, but I won't ding them here as it was all hot and tasty. I am going back this morning.

The service was EXCEPTIONAL. The staffing going above and beyond for a birthday at our table. The food was delicious, especially the Benedict's. Access directly off of 5 in the Renaissance with comped underground parking or valet. Will definitely return.
I had family in town as they were attending the NFL game today and we didn't want to have a big T-Day dinner. So we did this brunch instead. It was a good meal with a good selection of food. It was a combination of breakfast and Turkey dinner samplings. 1st - why Open Table doesn't just list the restaurant as being INSIDE the Renaissance Hotel, I don't know. That would make getting their so much easier. We arrived at 11:30 when they opened and in 90 minutes only saw five other customers! I surmise it was the (after tax and added 20% gratuity) $130/pp price! At that price point, it should be bottomless mimosas, not just one! Standout items were the ham, cornbread stuffing, lobster ravioli with shrimp and crepe station. Although they only had sweet crepes or lox & cream cheese options. But the crepes were made to order. Good food, but really too expensive for the venue and experience!

Quite possibly the best Steak Frites with chimichuri sauce I have ever had! Along with great food, the service was phenomenal and the dining area feels large, but wasn't loud or echo-y.. our large group could all chat and hear each other without issue.
Parking: The reception desk validates up to 2 hours for restaurant patrons.

Very bad service, I asked for water and I never got it I asked for tea nothing. They charged a “mandatory” 20% service fee. Go to another place don’t waste your time there

LOVELY RESTAURANT INSIDE RENAISSANCE SEATTLEThis restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the hotel. Most hotels offer the standard fare for breakfast, not so here. The range of offerings is very good and it's beautifully laid out. I stayed in the hotel and breakfasted here on two occasions, as it was included with my room. Not sure of prices otherwise.You can choose al a carte or buffet and I had the latter.There are hot and cold choices, from eggs and make your own waffles to a fine selection of cold cuts, fresh fruit, pastries, yogurts and cereals. The service was friendly and efficient and I didn't feel rushed. I'd love to know the story behind the name, but there's no information available and no-one I asked knew how it came to be.

Good food, friendly service, lively atmosphere. The prices on the Google version of the menu are very out of date, to the tune of 50%. Also, be prepared to pay a mandatory 20% service charge in addition. (Example: avocado toast is $19, not $12 plus 20% service charge and taxes.) However, conveniently located with plenty to offer a variety of dietary needs and tastes.
