    The food was delicious and the service was great. Loved the ambiance and of course the best part was the almost 180 view!

    Overall great location, amazing views of Seattle. However, we were waiting for the table and were told that we couldn't go upstairs because it was fully booked. When we arrived (earlier), we saw that the restaurant was almost completely empty. This gave us a really bad impression about the service and how little they care about what could be done to make us happy. In the end, it was non-sense that we had to wait 45 min downstairs when we could just have enjoyed the terrace for instance while the table was getting ready.

    Despite the food being decent, and the great views, this was a terrible experience overall. I've never had such awful, rude service at a restaurant. At some point we just had to start laughing at how bad it was. Can't recommend.

    Great food (shrimp/clams, burger, falafel, muhammara), as always; careless, amateurish and inattentive service. 22% automatic service charge, even though it benefits all staff, creates a disincentive for servers to do their jobs with even a modicum of effort or professionalism.

    My cocktail and the view from the restaurant were great. The server was friendly, though service was on the slower side. Dinner was underwhelming (e.g., lobster bisque was more of a broth rather than a creamy soup, the pasta was too salty, the rhubarb crisp had a puree filling rather than actual pieces of fruit). Recommend to come if you’re looking to have drinks with a nice view; otherwise, the food isn’t worth the price.
