    We were there for Christmas dinner. Our server was amazing we really loved them. Our food was mostly great every course, except weirdly the main course. They were undercooked. We reluctantly sent it back and still not great. Other than that the location was wonderful the atmosphere beautiful and festive.

    The view is amazing but the food was lacking flavor and the salad was soggy. Service was great though.

    Charlotte is a great, almost-hidden gem in this part of Seattle. The food is top-notch. We're vegan, and we're impressed with the number of vegan options available. You can't beat the view, either. We're locals. This was our first time, but we'll be back.

    Our experience at the Charlotte Restaurant in Lotte Hotel was outstanding! They worked with me and gave me options when I explained I was planning a proposal, they made our visit a very welcome one, and Devin was an amazing server - complimenting my fiancee's fit, explaining the menu and drinks, and happily accepting my requests to be our private photographer. The food was amazing, the dessert was stunning, the drinks were good, the price is what you'd expect to pay at a classy restaurant but there's no set dress code so I saw groups of families and friends show up in jeans and such. I personally went with the a la carte dinner menu opposed to the pre-fix because the stuff I wanted weren't included (and I saved more money with the a la carte - still spent 400$ lol) They have private halls for larger parties up to 12 and the entire place is dressed up for the holidays with live music and a fairly nice view of the city from 16floors high. Not much of a live as I recall so I don't think you absolutely need to make a reservation ahead of time, unless it's for a special event like my proposal. Valet parking is 20$, they put a service charge of 20% of your meal, and they don't accept Google/Apple pay so have card or cash (valet doesn't accept cash). No military discounts either, for you SM's like me that love saving a buck.
