Reviews
Ordered takeout, daughter pulled a long, coarse hair out of her chicken stew. Worked in restaurants for six years - long hair in the kitchen should be tied back or under a hair net, there's no excuse for this. Beyond this, food was...just not great, rice was overly garlicky, lamb kabob was tasteless, and the non- small tabbuleh was a handful of parsley and bulger and a bunch of romaine for $16.
We had our wedding there and the staff was great. The food was good. Everything was clean and. They are very strict on their rules but because of that nothing goes wrong with your day or the person who has an event the day after you. It's definitely worth giving them a tour and seeing with all about.
We had our wedding here (90 guests) and it was perfect, we honestly could not have imagined it going any better. The venue itself is beautiful if you are looking for an immaculately maintained rustic brick aesthetic. 2 things that really stood out
1. The staff. From our event manager, Nancy, that helped plan the day to the staff working the event. They are all such warm and genuine people with great organization and attention to detail. They are also one of the few places in the wedding industry that is so transparent with their pricing and policies which really helps with budgeting.
2. The amount of services offered inhouse. They have high quality in house catering and bar services as well as venue decorations and back yard games, they literally had everything we needed for the wedding. The only thing we brought in was flowers.
Thank You Georgetown Ballroom!

We ♥ Georgetown Ballroom! Danielle and team took very good care of us on our wedding day. They run a very tight ship and our night went perfectly from start to finish. We were able to just sit back, relax and enjoy our wedding night without having to worry about the details.
It's not often that you can get a beautiful venue, great food and top-notch service all in the same place but GTB delivers! They have great indoor and outdoor space, an integrated sound system for a DJ to plug into, and really fun vintage decor. Quality food was a high priority for us and we got lots of compliments -- especially the cod! Highly recommend.

Imperia Lake Union staff and venue went above and beyond my expectations! The venue was clean, classy, and had a tasteful design that extra decorations were minimal on my part. In addition, Tasia Fisher (Director of Events) was AMAZING! She was prompt, calm, and collected. She made sure my wedding day went smoothly but that we were taken care of along the way. The food tasting exceeded our expectations and guests raved about it afterwards. The only thing I wish I did differently was extend my wedding longer because I didn't want to leave! :) If you want a magical and beautiful wedding, then Imperia Lake Union is your wedding venue. I'd give them 10 stars - they are the best!
We partnered with Georgetown Ballroom to plan our annual fundraising event for our nonprofit organization (Rainier Valley Food Bank) for 200 guests. Danielle was incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and flexible -- it was always clear that her first priority was for our event to be successful and our guests to enjoy their time. It was a joy planning our event down to the smallest detail together. The night-of staff made sure the night ran so smoothly and created a warm & inviting atmosphere. We could not thank Georgetown Ballroom enough for all their help. They took care of so much of the logistics, allowing us to focus on our program and meeting with our guests. We not only met our fundraising goal, we far surpassed it! Our guests provided so much positive feedback on the venue, the food, and the overall flow of the event. We couldn't have done it with Danielle & her team!
Private club. Quiet place to eat and socialize. Beautiful building. Artwork is amazing
My wife and I really enjoyed our sailing adventure with Sailing Seattle. The weather was perfect, the crew was kind, the boat was clean and spacious for everyone to sit all over the deck. It was also fun to be to bring our own food and drinks to enjoy on the boat. Great way to spend the afternoon.
We wanted a more up close experience than a ferry or other cruise - getting on a racing sailboat with great wind was a remarkable experience. We sat up front where the hull is closed, which meant we could recline, sit up and look around, or stand to get great views. Some splashing but worth it. We saw a humpback whale in the distance at one point, which was a great treat. Also appreciated the blankets! Would definitely sail again.
BEST WEDDING VENUE AND TEAM EVER!
We had the privilege of working with Nancy, who has been our wedding angel and who has made our experience of planning a wedding very smooth and organized. The venue has great ambiance, delicious food, friendly staff and had provided the best service.
If only my husband and I can get married every year.. We would celebrate it here every time!!
Highly, highly recommend Georgetown Ballroom!

I rarely leave a review for a hotel, but the experience here was perfect in every capacity. Located in the perfect proximity to everything you'd ever want to do in the heart of downtown, the staff overall was absolutely fantastic. The rooms are spotless and ridiculously comfortable. I've paid a ton more for a ton less all over the country, and absolutely cannot wait to come back again.
Eager to dig in, forgot to take pictures of the meals: the halibut special was superb and a generous helping; lamb platter was delicious and enough for two lunches from the leftovers. Wonderful friendly service. Excellent dining experience. Definitely will return.
Lovely hotel, great staff! The rooms are huge and thoughtfully decorated! A separate sitting area could be closed off with curtains so that one person could sleep and another could stay up late. Wish we could have stayed longer here!
This was such a beautiful place to have our wedding!! The people were wonderfully helpful and kind, the park was a fantastic place to hold the ceremony, and the reception venue was perfect! It’s such a great space that requires little extra decorating. We got the candle package and had flower arrangements on the tables, and it was perfect! Our guests raved about the delicious food, the rooms to get ready in were so comfortable and creative, and the service was fantastic. Overall, it was all so great and Imperia was the best place we could have chosen to get married!
I stayed here during a crazy busy weekend in Seattle and the staff was AMAZING! The room was very clean and the bed was so comfy and cozy. I highly recommend this hotel and will be visiting again on my next trip to Seattle.
Talk about a cool experience! I LOVE Seattle, and this was the perfect place to take my kids when we visited. The playground is fantastic and kept my kiddos entertained for hours. There is also a kids museum, the museum of pop culture, the space needle, and the monorail that takes you to downtown Seattle and Pike Place Market. I'm looking forward to coming back when we come next time!
What a terrific experience! We scheduled a time, got the tickets, and zoom we were on top of Seattle. Built for the World's Fair of 1962, this beautiful structure is still a must-see when visiting this beautiful city. Many of the Fair Buildings are still there to remind you of what happens when city and state leaders work together to create an artistic and business environment. The views, the way it's set up and run, and the 60's lounge & snack shop are all first rate. The top turns slowly AND they have exposed the floor so you can actually see the mechanics of how it's all done. Amazing!!!
Stayed at the Hotel Monaco with my golden retriever on August 9, 2023. When I arrived it was a little confusing where to park as there was no parking allowed in the vicinity and the valet was no where in site. After driving around a few times I just stopped in front of the hotel and waited until the valet came out. They could not drive a manual, but were able to find another employee that could. The staff was great and greeted my dog and me with enthusiasm. The room was nice and the thermostat could be adjusted to a cooler temperature that was good for my dog. After a good night at a dog event, it was a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, in the morning I was deeply disappointed. I made my decision to stay at the Hotel Monaco because of my past experiences with Kimpton Hotels, the hotel being pet friendly, and the availability of room service for breakfast. I pressed the room service button on the room phone and waited for someone to answer for quite some time. When answered I said I would like to order room service and was told that that was not an option. I asked if I could bring my dog to the restaurant and was told only service dogs are allowed. This was a disappointment as the hotel's website indicates "In-room dining will still be available until 10:00 p.m. each night from Outlier (the hotel restaurant)." It was the main reason I stayed there because it is difficult to find a place to eat breakfast with a dog. The location of this hotel is not relatively close to food options in the morning. After getting off the phone with the restaurant, I made the decision to checkout as quick as possible and head to south Seattle where I knew I could get a bite to eat with the company of my dog.
Staff were great, room was clean, lobby is beautiful, fairly dog friendly with the exception of availability of food options with your pet.

If you can afford it, it's a great place for large celebrations.
What a beautiful building! I went to a private event here and WOW! The service was over the top amazing, the food was delicious and so were the drinks. If you get the opportunity to go here, definitely take it!
We spent over 2 hours enjoying the views and walking around. We got tickets for 7:30pm so had the chance to see it during the day thru sunset and evening. It was very enjoyable! The glass floor was a fun feature and of course the curved benches made it that more picture friendly.
Staff is incredibly sweet and the hotel is clean and well organized. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Seattle. The greeters were pretty much playing a game to see who could get the door for me first the whole night! 😆 loved my stay and will definitely be back
Harissa has consistent excellent food. Last night a small group of us had the Eggplant Salad, that comes with their wonderful bubbly spiced bread fresh from the oven, Kofta Kabob, the small
Lebanese House Salad, a large bowl full, and the Angel Hair pasta. What a feast, everything tasted delectable. I highly recommend Harissa.

We, thoroughly, enjoyed our stay. The staff were outstanding.
A few notes that patrons of this hotel may find helpful:
VEHICLE loading & unloading is, LITERALLY, in the LEFT TURN LANE of the street…cars will be buzzing past you in the next lane, and going around you to access the left turn lane. The street space at the curb is a bicycle ONLY lane.
You will not be permitted to park your own vehicle; it is valet ONLY, which will cost you $70ish A NIGHT.
If you would like a microwave and/or coffee maker in your room, ask at check-in.
You will NOT have daily room service! If you want your room cleaned, daily, request that at check-in.
Our rooms did not have wall mounted televisions, so surface space was limited, especially, after receiving our microwave & coffee maker set up.
There was only one chair in our room, so eating comfortably or socializing were out of the question. Upon our return from Pike, we asked a front desk representative if we could converge on the lobby to enjoy our delectable delights and he was all for it! We set up in front of the fireplace and enjoyed a lovely evening eating, drinking and talking…cleaned up behind ourselves, then retired to our rooms.

Spacious park with lots of green space. Went during Seattle Pride and there were three stages, a bunch of vendor booths, and lots of people to fill up the whole park. The Seattle Centre is close to a lot of tourist attractions and travel between locations is easy. There is also a lot of free outdoor art to check out.
There's a long line to get tickets and then a long line to actually ride the elevator. I would suggest you order your tickets online and skip that part of it. They give you a time to enter the elevator line. They have valet parking at the entrance. Was $18 an hour or across the street from the entrance was a parking garage. It was $8 an hour. We also got the hop on hop off bus from here.
Like a lot of hotels, they’re not providing daily housekeeping services. Breakfast service wasn’t fast; but the food was good. Overall a nice stay. Enjoyed the old-school pinball arcade downstairs from the lobby.
Nice enough I guess. Not so great of a location. Lots of homeless and all around crazies. No microwave in the rooms.( Even a Super 8 has a microwave oven). I would not recommend it for anyone who is not fit. Walking was doable maybe one way to Pikes but the hills back are murderous. The Staff was friendly. I wouldn't go back just because it wasn't what we wanted. No great restaurants, no easy convenience stores. Everywhere we ate was expensive. I have stayed at other places cheaper that had more to offer.
This is a night club. I like its sealing. Sound can be louder. I usually come here for a specific performer, but the crowd mostly consist of people the just came to a night club. That can be annoying.
Staff is nice. Water station is available.

Overall have always had a good time here. Don’t be an idiot or do anything stupid and rude and you’ll be good. People I’ve seen kicked out should actually, generally speaking, be kicked out. Outside security is fantastic but I wish inside bouncers were just a little more chill. Seem a little jacked up to find trouble instead of letting it come to them (why I docked one star). They book huge names in EDM particularly from Anjunadeep which is my jam, and it’s a small venue with an amazing sound system. No ridiculous dress code and caters to an EDM crowd, unlike another well known venue in Belltown. Strong (but expensive) drinks, 2 bars, almost always a good crowd up front. Douchebaggary usually in the back. I’m on the “more senior” scale relatively speaking, (not in my 20s anymore!), go for the music and good times, and haven’t been let down.
We had our party here for almost 70 guests. We, and our guests, had so much fun. We know this from all the positive feedback we got about how great the venue, staff, and food were.
The process from touring, booking, planning, through to the actual event day was so easy.
Nancy was a delight to work with as she was personable, professional, helpful, patient, and her suggestions/advice made our event run smoothly without any issues.
Highly recommended!

This place is the antithesis of a good space for electronic music. Nothing underground about it. As a recent transplant from Detroit, I was really turned off by how clean this club was and the security at literally every vantage point. It really killed my energy and my explications for the night within the first 10 minutes. Sound system is good tho.
We decided to embrace our inner tourists and explore the sailing scene in Seattle, and we're so glad we did because it turned out to be an absolute blast. Although the sailing conditions were a bit breezy, the evening was filled with beauty. We were fortunate enough to capture the stunning summer sunset while floating on the Salish Sea, and it felt like a stroke of luck. During our excursion, we were thrilled to spot both a harbor seal and a porpoise, adding an extra level of excitement to the experience.
Moreover, we had the opportunity to forge new friendships with visitors from Houston. To elevate our evening, we brought along a delectable assortment of wine, cheese, and meat to share. It was the perfect addition to our outing, enhancing the enjoyment and creating a memorable atmosphere.
The crew members on board were attentive and considerate, going the extra mile by offering us blankets when the temperature dropped. Their kindness was much appreciated. While there wasn't extensive interaction with the crew, we found that this activity is better enjoyed with friends or family, as the focus is more on the overall experience rather than constant crew interaction.
We couldn't be happier with our sailing tour and highly recommend it to others. It provided us with a fantastic time, surrounded by natural beauty, new friendships, and the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure.

Literally soon as I walked in, I asked for refund on $20 entrance fee because I was leaving immediately. Inside the club didn’t look anywhere close to the pictures I saw online. I didn’t stay longer than 3 minutes. The staff was rude and refused to give me refund. They didn’t display “No refund policy” anywhere at the entrance. They insisted I just paid for the music they played while waiting in line. I didn’t come here for the music. I feel robbed.
Their website says BYOB, but they provide a large cooler full of ice on board for passenger use as well! This trip was a relaxing way to spend a summer afternoon with my family. The workers are friendly/knowledgeable and the views are truly one of a kind. Add to that the affordability and you have an outstanding addition to a weekend Seattle trip! Highly recommend you bring hoodies though, the sea breeze can be chilly.
We couldn't have been more thrilled about hosting our wedding reception at Imperia! From the moment you walk into this venue you feel it's a memorable and special place :) the decor is top notch! It is a DANCE VENUE! We couldn't have hosted the dance party we did without the space of Imperia. It was idyllic. From the very beginning, JJ and Tasia were so communicative, accommodating, and focused on creating the event of our dreams! JJ's flowers matched the paper products my mom made PERFECTLY. It made for such a cohesive, polished look. Tasia was so flexible with our "alternative " requests for a private dinner in the back (just my husband and I) and for edible centerpieces that were a HIT! Tasia kept the night moving on a timeline so smoothly I just got to sit back and enjoy the ride. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the efficiency and professionalism of the staff. The food was unbelievable! Best wedding food I've ever had, they even boxed up the leftovers for us at the end of the night! The fact they do their own food, drink, and flowers made our wedding planning much simpler! If you want to feel like you've landed in the middle of a Gatsby party or if you want to throw the dance party of a lifetime, do not hesitate and BOOK IMPERIA!
Best sailing cruise ever! The Captain and Mate were professional, knowledgeable, and personable.
Beautiful views of downtown Seattle and its surroundings made this a trip so enjoyable that we plan on making it a monthly adventure.
We didn't need the extra clothing or jackets that we brought, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
We didn't bring food because we planned to eat at Wing Dome (see review), but it gave us more time to enjoy the magnificent scenery.
If you're looking for a romantic cruise with your loved one, a fun adventure with friends, or even a solo journey to get away from the daily stresses in life, I highly recommend Sailing Seattle.

I did the sunset tour with my family, and it was absolutely amazing! The captains were great (shoutout to Hannah for being so friendly), and the trip was beautiful and peaceful. It wasn’t too cold, we got to bring drinks and snacks and blankets to make the experience perfectly comfortable, and the views were just incredible. I am already starting to plan my next big group:)
Great experience on the water today. Crew was very open and responsive to questions but this is not a guided tour. Blankets provided for anyone who got a little chilly. Very laid back, just sitting right on the deck, bring your own snacks, wine, drinks, whatever and enjoy the ride.
I was surprised by how wide and large the fountain was. It was one of the most unusual fountains I have ever seen. The fountain is unique, so children will really like it. There was a lot of space to sit next to the fountain, and I had a good time seeing the Space Needle and listening to music.
I just went here for the first time for Feed Me. I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. Lots of safety measures/searches/metal detectors before entry into the nightclub. Staff was respectful, friendly, and informative. It’s very obvious as well that it’s a place that’s LGBTQ+ friendly.
Bathrooms are super great, place was super clean, prices were reasonable for seattle.
I was most impressed with the sound quality and the lighting etc. every aspect of my evening went really well and I’m excited that I know about Q nightclub and I look forward to coming back.

Amazing views for either $22 or $16 if Washington resident, which will direct you to walk through little museum before going up to 35th floor.
Visited twice - once at night during winter and next during summer. Can see Mt. Rainier if clear day or even Olympic National Park (even outline). Walk around outside of floor to get 360 view of city at that height.
Recommend sitting to get drinks at least, there are food options, but limited (ordered the cheese/meet box). Offer liquor, beer, wine and mixed drinks. Spritz is super refreshing for summer.
If in evening can get a bit chilly outside. Highly recommend visiting if resident or traveling through the city!

This attraction will not disappoint you, trust me! I highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance and reserving your tour time. It will save you time. Definitely a place to take lots of pictures! While in line, there are historical facts that are fascinating regarding The Needle's development.
Sailing Seattle is super addictive if you live in the neighborhood. I have done rides alone, with friends. With family. Groups of 2 or big birthday groups of 12. I think its a beautiful way to see your city. Every ride is different too, they've been everywhere from chill and quiet to fun and energetic.
We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Imperia in June 2022 and are still raving about the experience!!
First, we initially booked pre-covid, and Imperia was extremely helpful and accommodating during the challenges of cancellations and postponements, as well as in navigating safety protocols. We are so grateful.
Second, and most importantly, Tasia and the entire staff at Imperia truly know what they are doing, and we felt so lucky to have been in their hands. The planning was easy and straightforward, and as soon as we arrived after our church ceremony (and they so brilliantly provided my husband and me with food and drinks!), I felt my stress level recede--it was so easy to have FUN with our loved ones knowing things were working beautifully behind the scenes. All of our guests raved about the food and venue (I still dream about the chimichurri steak!). We felt well-taken care of the whole night, and things ran so smoothly. We were also able to stash a few sleeping babies and a babysitter in one of the lounges—game changer!
Finally, I wanted to share that although we love the art deco elements of the venue, we chose not to amplify them in our decor and it worked beautifully! Lots of options at this venue to play up your own style.

We held our wedding on March 18, 2023, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the staff was, particularly our event coordinator, Claire Harden. The entire experience of having our wedding at this venue was exceptional. The staff was incredibly responsive, and the food they provided was not only delicious but also exceptionally well-prepared, which is quite a challenging feat when serving 150 people simultaneously. We were thoroughly impressed with their level of service and attention to detail.
Worth the visit. Great information on the tower, why it was built , the self guided tour was good. There are lot of places to take pictures and the cafeteria on the top is great for a quick coffee. The views from the top are awesome. You can see the shore and plan to go during sunset to enjoy the view. Overall worth the ticket price.
Super cool experience! The tower is great and full of history!
The bar at the top has great service and fun drinks. The bahn mi sandwich isn't what you might expect though. It's like 2 pulled pork sliders with a couple pickled jalapenos on top. Very disappointed in that.
Views are great and on a clear day you might be able to see Rainier!

Great little museum on your way up to the observation deck/restaurant. There is a "mezzanine" on 22 that has beer/wine and an outdoor terrace. The 34th floor is the resto/bar you can sit at, or just go outside and look at the views
I've been going to shows here since I was a (much) young(er), aspiring actor. My experiences here have been inspiring and educational, each and every time. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have planned for future seasons!
We had our mother's 100th birthday party here a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. The venue was beautifully decorated and the wonderful staff made sure everything - music and video, access, parking, bar and the great food - was perfect! Thanks so much to Nancy, who was so great at the pre-planning and day of the event oversight - she was a godsend! Her calm demeanor made our party for nearly 100 stress free. And the rest of the crew was so wonderful throughout, always facilitating and joyful in sharing such a special day with us! Everyone took so much pride in making sure we had a great time.
Thank you Georgetown Ballroom! We will always be grateful to you for this day and for providing Mom a memory that she will always cherish.

I had a wonderful time filming a wedding at the Georgetown Ballroom the weekend before last. The colors in this venue are incredible. As a videographer, a few years back I would have been concerned about the low lighting in a venue like this but with modern cameras it is nothing to worry about anymore. The huge skylights are also a big plus for letting natural light in.
Awesome old school tower of Seattle. Lots of rich history in the museum and a fantastic view of the harbor. You can enter for free when the market is going on and they have a free movie night. I haven’t tried the restaurant, but it looked delicious. There is also a newly added bar on a lower floor.
Pros: good location
Cons: unbearable staff, high cover, terrible drinks, mostly average DJs
Update: I would never visite this club again.
HAVE YOUR CELL PHONE TO RECORD THEIR CONFIRMATION OF YOUR STATUS BEFORE BUYING A COVER!!!
My friends were brutally removed from the club because of they were kissing each other, but the security accused for being toxic. To any common sense, it's normal in a club. First, we came to this part right after dinner, not drunk. Second, all these happened literally 2 minutes after we went in. If the security think we are not appropriate to get in, they could have stopped us. Third, we requested refund after. A random woman showed up, claimed herself as the manager, asked us to leave with curse words.
I'm contacting influencers with what I had recorded that night, hope to raise alert for others.

We were guests at an event there. It's a lovely old building and the rooms have nice character. Unfortunately, the furnishings are rather tired looking and detract from the overall impression of this venerable venue. Service was excellent and the food delicious! Definitely a great spot to host a special event!
I'm currently commenting only on wedding preparation and the food tasting. The venue is exactly what my daughter was looking for, they've been extremely helpful in her early preparations. We went in for a food tasting and we're thrilled with what we tasted. There are so many options very consistently well prepared it made it actually hard to choose a menu. Just check out the pictures. Looking forward to the event, I will repost.
What a good experience. Great crowd, wonderful staff and immaculate vibes.
Had a GREAT time here. The security was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was very lively. The DJ had a great music selection of mostly newer and early 2000s hip hop. The drinks were all amazing and the bartenders and bottle service girls had amazing customer service skills. Cant wait to come back!
The Imperia is the perfect wedding venue. The staff are professional, kind, and so supportive. They helped us get everything we wanted out of our wedding. From the food and wine tasting, to the floral design, to the coordination, to the suggested vendor list- they seriously made our wedding the most perfect day. Wedding planning is stressful, even for a very prepared and loving couple. The Imperia made it so much less stressful, took so much weight off of us and made the process fun and enjoyable even. That’s hard to do! They run their business with integrity and love and it absolutely shows. We had the most perfect, beautiful wedding because of them and I will never stop being thankful for that. I can’t wait to find another reason to have a party there- they’re seriously that good! So just book it- do it!
Very interesting building. Knowledgeable staff, as there is a guided tour available.
Should be noted that they don't accept cash for the admission fee, credit or debit only.
Well worth the visit. Fantastic views of Seattle from around 400feet.
At one point it was the tallest skyscraper west of the Mississippi.

Great historic building dating back to the early 1900s. Back at that time, it was the tallest building in Seattle and the 3rd tallest in the world! There is a speakeasy on the 35th floor, complete with an outdoor observation deck that traces the entire perimeter - marvelous 360° views!
Great staff - very friendly and accommodating. The food and drink is delectable.

This place is ✨ magical 🪄. Good times every time I've been. A second room where they play fresh hip hop, and the main room which is cute too. The ambience is hella cool (+), so both the service and customers all have good/ neutral vibes. For $12+ a drink 🍸 , worth it.
Closed on a Friday night! Some in our group thought it was permanently closed, but through the window the bar of Grim looked stocked, so do not know.
Came from Canada for authentic Lebanese and was not disappointed. Everything stood out with proud flavors, the rice was the surprise stunner - accompanied by labneh, tomato salad and grilled meat... with handmade Pita beyond comprehension. Worth the trip! We will be back.
I love this place for their music. So good to dance and all. However, I've been observing and I'm quite disappointed with their drinks. They put almost a shot and add tons of soda and charged almost $10. That's not cool. Overall, it's nice to come dance here.
Sound system is great for dancing! They always got famous djs playing there. Friendly bartenders! My go to every weekends!
This is a fantastic organization/club. The architecture, history, and art within the building were outstanding. If there were one social club to join in Seattle, this would be it.
Fantastic food, great ambiance, and even live music! On a Thursday yet! Spent 2 hours dining and being entertained.
Full bar; extensive menu and superb service. No waiting, a lot of tables and TV's (if the live music isn't enough...). Seems like a family-run restaurant that's been around for approximately 13 years. A "Hidden Gem," to be sure! (Sorry about the attached photos...red back lighting distorted the colors).
We'll be returning soon!

Service and meeting space was great. Parking is available in the garage. Food was great.
As a photographer, I love the Imperia Lake Union! They have a great place for a wedding under the very cool art deco main ballroom ceiling and chandeliers that gets even better during the reception. The arrangement of the tables around the center dancefloor makes the space feel more intimate and inclusive of the guests as they can hang out at their tables and feel a part of the event when they aren't dancing. They are also very close to some nice place for portraits either walking or a very short drive to Gas Works, UW or just walking down to Fairview Avenue and Park. And finally, their staff is a joy to work with. They are very organized and helpful as well as just being nice people.
The employees at this club are the only ones I am aware of that remember your name and preferred drink, who include tips in their prices, who provide gracious service, and who make you feel at home. It's easy with valet parking any time of day. Lots of old world charm. I adore it.
Bartenders were friendly and enjoyed the music on the weekends. Spacious and fun places.
Imperia Lake Union has done some beautiful remodeling over the past couple of years. It still has it's intimate, vintage charm but with some added glam and polishing. Immediately when touring, we felt like it was "the one", but it also checked very important logistical boxes too. It was super easy for guests to get to from Seattle, it had on-site suites if we decided to get ready there, it accommodated outdoor ceremonies but could switch to indoor if there was an unexpected weather issue, and most importantly - we had the option for in-house florals, catering, and great bar options.
JJ created the most gorgeous florals and went above and beyond to accommodate pick-ups, deliveries, etc. including some unexpected delivery asks that I didn't know about until well after the wedding. She just handled it without hesitation.
Tasia was also super on top of every detail. Anything I ever mentioned in email to her would be noted on our file almost immediately. It was super clear what our package included, what add-ons were available, and I always received a response within a day or two.
Most importantly, the team at Imperia works hard to bring your vision to life. I'm sure I may have been one of the more particular brides - I had pretty specific visions of what I wanted for decor, food, and florals. But they never made me feel like a nuisance, they just worked with me to get it done. Trusting wedding vendors is hard because you have no idea what's going to happen until it's the big day! And you either sink, or swim. Thinking about how beautifully Imperia executed actually makes me teary. My breath was taken away when I saw our venue and everything managed by Imperia (food, florals, decor) brought a huge smile to my face.
I can't tell you how many people complimented us on the food and the decor. I had one vendor tell us it was the best wedding meal they had been given all year. I had other guests (both young and old) tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to.
Imperia is truly a unique and special venue. I'm glad we got in when we did, because it's only going to continue to grow. I could easily think of 1000 more great things to say, but the point is - everyone there freaking rocks. From the event planning team to the bartenders, everyone was amazing.

Beautiful facility - was present for the Whiskey Tasting event. Servers were awesome/ Loved the sliders and the water stands. Beautiful chandeliers on every level also.
Service was mid, there was only one dance floor open. The sound system and lights were very minimal, unfortunately my friends and I were not treated well
This beautiful club offers so much. . . gorgeous, well appointed public rooms, with lovely accomodations, excellent food in delightful surroundings, imaginative events and great programming. It was a pleasure to be there for a recent celebration!
We arrived around 8 pm & it was still light outside. We enjoyed the valet service that was offered. We looked around the store at the base of the Needle before we embarked the elevator. The elevator was awesome because of the windows, you can see outside! The top of the Needle was wonderful! There is a cafe for wine, beer, water, juice & champagne. They offered lil cakes too! We enjoyed wine & shared a red velvet cupcake! Both were delicious! It's gorgeous up top! I couldn't believe that there was a glass floor!!!! The view! To make things even cooler the Needle spins! I highly recommend it! We went just for fun, spur of the moment type evening. It is so lovely! Even a great gift idea!
The best Mediterranean Restaurant in Seattle!!! We were celebrating our five year wedding anniversary and we came across this place based on the great reviews previously. The flavor, the experience, the quality is all above and beyond. We have had the best time with Walid and look forward to more times coming into this town specially to visit this restaurant. We are so thankful for the food and we look forward to more times to coming and visiting in the future. We recommend you visit this restaurant you will not be disappointed.
Hi There, I recently had my Wedding there We spent over 20K for room and setup Where they told me wedding planner is included in the package deal.
However the wedding didn’t go as planned the planner didn’t do anything Literally nothing useless
1- the Waitresses didn’t know when and where to Serve Beverages, hors d'oeuvres or food.
2- Vendors ( videographer, photographer, DJ and Designer) No One ( Planner) contact them for hours and Direction they couldn’t even park in the park garage the elevator Required fob they parked on the street and unloaded their stuff.
3- the parking was Horrible because if the elevator again Required a fob nor stairs access my guest have to walk up the garage Ramp with dresses and heels outside in the rain to the main entrance.
4- the rooms were locked and the Designer couldn’t setup the Decoration on time I even paid for an extra hour to avoid any delays but again planner/ manager wasn’t there on time.
5- half of the cake Disappear had a big cake for 100 guests and I only have 48 guests they serve very Tiny thin slices was so Embarrassed.
6- they serve the main entree/dish in two part 20 minutes apart so half was eating and half watching.
Overall the rooms and view are great but the service and management was awful. If you planning to host a wedding or party make sure to bring your own catering, planner, manager, elevator lol!
Thanks for reading.

LOVE THIS VENUE
My Fiancé is a DJ and we came here to scout the venue and chat with the men who set up the 'Cry Now Cry Later' event. We are definitely looking forward to having events here in the future and getting the word out to the Goth scene!

I threw my husband a surprise birthday party at The Woods and had a wonderful experience. Natalie is efficient and quick to respond. She is also accommodating of all our needs. The day of, it had been snowing in Seattle. They closed The Woods but still opened for our event, even letting us use the entire space. We were able to come in early and set up. Jeremy, our bartender was amazing to work with. Super chill, super easy, etc. We had an overall great time. Space is large and beautiful. All guests were happy!
We came here before our cruise! The building is beautiful, staff were all great.
Right by the cruise terminal.

As long as the Cafe Opla is downstairs, I love it. Try the Opla Philippines, it could change your life.
The Annex Theatre is where a few of my friends got passes to get in and, they would not stop talking about the awesome atmosphere was, that you can have drinks & some snacks, that's cool. I plan on bringing my girlfriend there, what does everyone think? Think she will enjoy it there? I see 👀lots of 5 star reviews, I only very, very, rarely give 5 stars, just because, there's always room for improvement. I can't wait to see what my friends were talking about. ⛩🌴🤙👽
Superb date night! What great service! The server was so kind and was able to make all the adjustments (vegan & gluten free and then dairy free) for allergies and intolerances without hesitation. The decor and interior was elegant and had great artwork and made for a wonderful experience. They also have a nice outdoor dining area. The food was flavorful and also very clean and we felt healthy and balanced rather than stuffed and slow. Lamb kabob was tender but had good char on the outside. Hummus creamy, tabouli was refreshing, dolmas warm and savory. Portions were good sized and had value but no comprise for taste. We want to get back and see the love belly dancing and music and maybe even taste some hookah.
Loved the food here! The seafood kebabs were perfect with buttery scallops, moist salmon and perfect shrimp. Loved every bite.
The fresh Mediterranean salad was gorgeous 😍
We returned during eat in service in March and were not disappointed!
The atmosphere and service was warm and inviting and the food was perfection.

They closed the public parking garage too early. I got there waaay before their closing hours from what all the signs said. Was on the phone for hours trying to get someone to open the gate. Called after hours, no help, got security guards from all over, no help. Had to get an uber just to get to a place to stay. If i don't get a refund there will be an issue.
A very strong performance from Sam I'Am in “They/Them: The Musical.” I absolutely adored this musical. Sam was a true talent, they had me experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. I strongly recommend going to see the other talented trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming performance artists at the Annex Theatre during the They/Them Festival!
Just worked there as a vendor for an event and the staff was wonderfully helpful and very pleasant!
Incredible venue! We had our work holiday party here and I was so surprised at what a great spot this is. The view is gorgeous, the room is spacious but still feels intimate, and the staff was great. Parking was a bit tricky, but they gave good directions.
Am absolute bastion of small theatre in Seattle. If you have not seen a show at Annex, you simply have not yet arrived in Seattle.
From humorous family events to powerful and challenging social and political works, Annex is raw blank box theatre.
Surrounded by the pulse of Capitol Hill... There are few better evenings than dinner, a show and dessert.
Get tickets and go!

Excellent fringe theater in Seattle's Cap Hill neighborhood. Small, cozy, quirky, and fun.
Gorgeous building! I'm not sure if there is much to offer visitors, but I visited for a job interview and the views and decoration were outstanding.
The theater is centrally located on Capitol Hill, Pike & 11th. It's up about 2 1/2 flights of stairs so if you're unable to climb you'll want to arrange to be carried (it's been done before). The lobby consists of a long hallway with a nice sized bar/lounge area just past check-in. There's a T at the end of the hallway, bathrooms left, seats right. There are 2 single unisex bathrooms up another couple stairs. The theater has several rows of seats divided by an aisle. It gets hot and humid in the summer but it's survivable when the fans are going. There's no bad seat in the house unless someone tall sits in front of you. The aisle down the middle is a well used area for performers so don't spread out too far.
Tickets are wonderfully affordable. You can purchase online or in person and there's usually a couple pay what you can nights. The bar has beer, liquor, and snacks, all extremely affordable, and takes credit cards.
Now on to the performances. I'm never disappointed when seeing a show at Annex. Whether it's a mainstage, off night, late night, or rental. It's a great place to see something weird, brand new, and current. Supporting artists that have something to say and not many places to say it. You'll see things that make you laugh, cry, cringe, question, cheer, rage, and hope.

Fun little theater. Always showing interesting and outside the box productions. Nice waiting area with beer, wine, etc. Not the easiest place to find. You just have to confidently walk in the door, head up a flight of stairs, and head in the funky door. Your reward is awesome theater.
Not accessible to disabled folk as far as I could see, otherwise great. Also has a bar!
Little hole in the wall. Makes you feel like you're gonna be the first to experience something. Super queer place to be (so it's great). Visited while Sketchfest was occurring and it was a great laugh. Staff pulled in some really great talent. Visit their other venues, I'm sure they're as great as what I experienced at Sketchfest.
