“This is not a typical Courtyard Bistro, they have a full restaurant. Staff was amazing, Savannah and Patrick. I ate here 3 times during my stay, everything was great. Calamari, Burger, Steak, Quesadilla. Great selection of local beers and spirits, overall a very nice bar selection for a Courtyard. Was not expecting that.
I also spoke with the manager to compliment him on the staff and food. I am hoping my job sends me back here in the future.
Oh and breakfast was also a good value and good food.“

“First time there. Didn't know what to order. Server was very polite but I wished she knows which burgers are best sellers when I asked what's the most popular burger combo.
Clean place, atmosphere was comfortable. The burger itself was a bit smaller for my eyes but it got the job done.“

“This restaurant inside Hotel 1000 was such a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, especially if you’re downtown, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being stuffy. Everything felt thoughtfully done, from the ambiance to the food and drinks.

I had the super dirty martini and it was perfect. The tuna crudo appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the steak for dinner was just as good. The portions were perfect, everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared, and it honestly felt like a great value for the quality of the experience.

What really made the night stand out though was Aisha. I was dining by myself, and she made the entire experience feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming. She was incredibly personable, so sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. She checked in at all the right times without ever hovering and made me feel completely taken care of. Dining alone can sometimes feel awkward, but Aisha made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She truly leaves a lasting impression and is a huge part of why I would absolutely come back.“

“I did not know about this spot. The cabbage was tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was bomb. I actually ate the skin. I NEVER EAT THE SKIN. Perfect not greasy. You receive a free drink and small bag of chips with your order. I didn't try the desserts. Next time.“

“McKenzie is a perfect employee. After a mix up on my order, he went out of his way to apologize and fix it for me. He would be a great person to train staff in any business. As a retired Human Resources Manager I would hire him to represent my company in a minute. Thank you for your help and wonderful attitude sir!“

“Decided to find a place to eat in Tukwila due to huge backup heading north on 405. Claimjumper shut down for good, we didn't know til we arrived. Saw this place across the street. We didn't know what the theme was about until the waitress arrived!! That aside, the beer was served in frozen mugs, the food was very good. Had the smoked chicken casadilla and pot roast. Pretty spendy but better than sitting on the freeway.“
