- CCaseySeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoAnother great experience at 2120! I made a reservation for a team holiday party and they were more than accommodating with 1) giving us a slightly separate space so we could celebrate and do a gift exchange without annoying others, 2) understanding when numbers fluctuated even the day before, and 3) helping us preorder appetizers so there was no waiting. Service was excellent and the recommendations were on point. They even went so far as to graciously bring us a trash bag for holiday gift wrap. We appreciate you 2120!More info2120Price: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
