Beautiful anytime of year but especially wondrous during the holidays. The staff is kind and friendly and Queen Mary herself checks in on the guests to ensure everyone is enjoying their tea. We live in LA but anytime we come up to Seattle, Queen Mary is a must visit!

I was very pleased with everything at Stanford’s. From the comfortable atmosphere to the attentive wait staff to the excellent food. I would certainly recommend this establishment. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were probably some of the best I’ve ever had! The side salad was delicious and included a lot of veggies, bacon, egg, and croutons. We had the Italian chicken with artichokes capers, and dry tomatoes. Definitely pallet pleasing.
