Super cute place! Came here just for drinks after Cornelly (right next door) and had espresso martinis. They were an amazing nightcap! Definitely will be back to try their brunch - have heard many good things from friends.
Decided to give it a try after being recommend from a few close friends and WOW I was blow away. I had their NY strip with a nice cider and it was very satisfying and tasting. 10/10 would go here again.
My partner and I came for a date night on a weekday. We sat outside, which was lovely, and got the last available outdoor table around 6pm. We shared the roasted cauliflower, seasonal flatbread and summer risotto. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the taste was fantastic too! The roasted cauliflower looked like an art sculpture (see picture). We ate until we were stuffed and then made sure to pack up every remaining bite to savor later.
I had white wine and my partner got an espresso cocktail. Both drinks were fabulous! The dinner was perfect - we were outside among huge trees and the service was attentive but relaxed. They brought out our dishes 1 by 1 so we had time to try them all without feeling rushed. We will be back to this cozy neighborhood spot to try their other dishes!

Great service from our waiter and the eggs Benedict were delicious, definitely a place worth trying for brunch. The latte art was also interesting 🫢
We've been here quite a few times. Usually for this pear cider (poire domfront). They currently do not have it anymore but they still have amazing options. Their cocktails are also very good. I couldn't comment on the food because they don't have many options for vegan but I'd definitely come here for a drink. I mean we do regularly when in Seattle.
Oh also they do off sales of bottled drinks, or did. And one time they did something out of this world, which really showcases how they care and try hard to make you have an amazing experience.

I am in Seattle for three days. I went here on Monday night with a co-worker and the place was empty (which is understandable since it was President's Day). We sat at the end of the bar and the bartender came right over to chat and take our order. We started out with a couple drinks recommended by our bartender. My coworker got a whiskey drink and I a Moscow Mule. While not served in a metal mug, the drink was smooth and delicious in the glass - which is the first time I had ever had a decent Moscow Mule served in a glass.
My coworker knew his drinks and ordered a whiskey I'd never heard of (though I'm not a connoisseur of whiskey), then he ordered a cocktail off the menu that the bartender recommended and then had a vodka drink with the Polish vodka the bartender also had recommended (the same one I had ordered for my mule.
He wanted oysters (which I think are icky) and he said were very good. I got the duck fat fries (heavenly) and then we both ordered burgers which were juicy and delicious.
Damn the Weather is located in Pioneer Square and is great place to unwind with friends and colleagues after work for great drinks, good food, knowledgeable bartenders, and an awesome atmosphere.

Great food execution but fairly small portions for the price if you’re here for dinner. Drinks are good!
Beautiful restaurant and amazing service. I never write reviews but the happy hour was just fantastic. We tried one of everything and were full at the end. All of the waiters were outstanding. So helpful and nice. The food was delicious, especially the duck spring rolls. They even had an extra drink and gave it to us on the house!
Lovely spot for a weekend brunch. The Eggs Benedict is great - served with perfectly cooked potatoes and hot sauce/ketchup (optional). They were able to substitute the meat option with avocado for most dishes. Would love to try out their avocado toast and the seasonal hash. The outdoor tables are super cute, perfect for a sunny summer morning. Reservations recommended. Service is nice, but a bit slow (staff is attentive, food is made fresh and takes a bit longer to arrive) - this wasn't a problem for me as I actually prefer a slow brunch
A family member who lives in the area took us here to try the viet-fusion cuisine and I have to be honest, I'm not a fan of their take on my vietnamese food. The biggest negative part for me is the price to quality to quality of food. Too much for the small amount, adding to the fact that the food did not fit my traditional tounge. I've been to many fusion places and this place just tried too hard and went off the grid. Atmosphere and service were great, but I won't be back for the food.
The flood was sophisticated, creative yet simple and easy to relate to! Amazing presentation and even better taste! Their wine selection has some nice French wines. We are looking forward to many more dinners at this fabulous restaurant.

Great cocktails (and yes they have some Green Chartreuse left).
I had the housemade Focaccia (Capers, Leeks, Black Garlic Butter, Herbed Ricotta) ; the housemade Tagliatelle (Braised Rabbit, Bacon, Cream, Parmesan Cheese) ; and the Cannoli (Pistachio Ricotta Filling, Chocolate Sauce). Everything was delicious.
Frankly, I don't know why I haven't heard about this well hidden gem before yesterday.
Will absolutely come back!

Yummy and metropolitan in the middle of Capital Hill. Great for our team event and easy to reserve our time there.
I inspired a full round of dessert. And we were not disappointed!

This is definitely the place to come and get drinks, the service is really good and the place is big if not a little loud. The food isn't very good at all though. I got a pepperoni pizza for my toddler and the Mac n cheese for myself and I ran into the problem I usually do when buying Mac n cheese at establishments; lacking in cheesy flavor and seasoning, it tasted bland. And my son isn't the most picky pizza person and wasn't thrilled with theirs. So I'd definitely return for drinks and service but will definitely be filling my belly elsewhere from what I've seen.
I went to the Yard House for a work dinner and had such a great time.
Although there is nothing labelled as vegan on the menu, after a quick internet search I found a pdf for " Yard House Vegan Friendly Menu Items
, Valid February 16, 2024"
Some items like the Gardein™ Chicken Rice Bowl or the Gardein™ Whiskey Black Pepper Wings are already vegan (and incredible.) other meals like the Gardein™ Chicken & Avocado Sandwich or the Avo on toast need a few ingredients removed.
Despite this there are LOADS of options, with Gardein™ paving the way as the plant based meat substitute! The wings are really amazing.
Food was well cooked, hot, and well presented.
Ginger was our server and she was so great, really helpful and knowledgeable about the menu!
Had so much fun here and can't recommend the vegan food enough.

The new Conversation menu was amazing! Our favorites were the burrata, eggplant lasagna, the wings, and the osso bucco (was fall off the bone delicious). The dishes came out on beautiful plates and the presentation felt fresh.
It’s a great spot right by the market and I’ll for sure be coming back when people come to town and visit! Also shout out to Martha for providing wonderful service - she was very kind and explained the menu well.

If you are debating on trying 2120 out, don’t have major FOMO and fumble. This restaurant is nothing less of fantastic.
Service:The moment you walk in the door, the staff is incredibly during your entire dining experience and want to make sure you are taken care of- and I even sat at the bar.
Food: Everything I ate was not only flavorful but also was well selected and paired together. This restaurant gives me a farm to table type vibe with their menu and I was nothing but impressed.
Atmosphere: Perfect amount of class and edge.

The food here really stands out with how excellent most of it was, but you are gonna shell out for it.
I’ve never had better scallops, and the rest of the dish was fantastic and full of flavor.
The beet salad and other sides were delicious and well balanced. The steak tartare would have been better if you had something other than chips to eat it with.
All the mixed drinks we had were creative and well worth the pretty standard cost for the area.
Wasn’t a fan of the place itself. Very dark and unremarkable.

I was amazed by the large portion and delicious meat. We had the lamb shank and corned beef with corn bread. They melted in my mouth!
This place was great and I will come back again. Multiple high-class small plates and tasty cocktails at a fair price point. Includes free parking in nice parking garage and it isn't far from Climate Pledge Arena.
GREAT BAR AND RESTAURANT IN THE HISTORIC PIONEER SQUARE NEIGHBORHOOD . FRIENDLY SERVICE AND CROWD . COOL ATMOSPHERE . FANTASTIC HAMBURGER AND FRIES . ASK ABOUT THE SPECIALS
Perfect food, perfect atmosphere, perfect service. Everything was wonderful! We were thrilled to find fresh Shigoku oysters on the menu, and the spinach salad, steak frites, and mushroom pesto pasta were delicious. Naturally, the PB chocolate cake was a winner, too. The chef, staff, and owners know what they're doing and they've created a friendly and welcoming space to enjoy their craft. Can't wait to return!
The atmosphere in the Yard House is fun and lively. The beer selection is unbelievable- so many to choose from. I had the Longboard and it was very fresh to the palate. I have ordered the guac and chips. Just something light for tonight.
Our recent visit to 2120 Seattle for a girl's night out left us with mixed feelings. The food was undeniably good, and the cocktails packed a punch, which added to the enjoyment of the evening. The cozy atmosphere inside created a pleasant vibe. However, the addition of the outdoor patio, while blocking the scenic view, didn't quite meet our expectations in terms of aesthetics.
What truly impacted our experience, though, was the interaction with the staff. While not rude, they lacked flexibility and were somewhat difficult when it came to accommodating requests. This overshadowed the enjoyable aspects of our meal, leaving us hesitant to return despite the tasty food.

Fun sports bar with great food. Always busy and lively. Dark clubby setting. Great for a night out with a group of friends or a quick bite for lunch, as they have self order/self pay tablets.
One of my friends suggested Single Shot for an intimate brunch, and even though we are from Tacoma and I was hesitant to drive all the way to Seattle just for a brunch spot, it was definitely worth it!
Single Shot is tucked back in the neighborhoods near Capitol Hill where you wouldn’t even think such a modern and outstanding brunch spot would be! It was honestly hidden between older homes and apartments and would be easy to miss if you didn’t know what you were looking for. It’s a cozy restaurant inside and has nice outdoor seating as well. The decor is a modern take on vintage style, and being there feels both like stepping back in time but also living in the 2024 you only see in movies.
The staff are all extremely friendly with customers as well as with each other. I was new, but I could tell based on watching staff and patrons interact that there are a lot of regulars.
I was given a heads up that the food is large, so we decided to do family style dining, and it was truly large servings! I was shocked by how large a single pancake was!! Between the three of us, we still had leftovers! Everything is homemade and uses fresh ingredients too! Even the toast was impressive and toast is usually the leftover filler for small meals, but not here!
I cannot wait to come back!

We went here during ECCC. Staff was friendly, polite, professional. Food was a great variety and good for sharing plates. Recommend making a reservation, but you might be fine without one.
Carrot cake was bomb.

Excellent food. Quick service. Server was kind to my kids.
Took kids (9, 7 and 2 years old) out to practice good behavior at a nice restaurant. They did great!! Waiter was amazing and spoke kindly to the kiddos (my son asked for the dessert menu and the waiter provided it). Loved the atmosphere and the location next to the Spheres. Food and drinks were delicious.

Our waiter was so great! Had a good laugh and very attentive. Food was delicious too. Great flavours, perfect portions vs price ratio and LOTS to choose from. Also, one of the BEST sangria's I've had in a hot minute (I wanted to drown in a pitcher of it). Highly recommend the Shrimp Kimchi Pasta if you love a tiny bit of heat with your meal and an amazing portion of shrimp.
Great food! Friendly staff! Convenient for guests staying at the hotel, but also accessible to the general public. Located close to Pike Place Market.
got Duck Rolls & Prawns
so these were technically two small plates - around 18 dollars each
here’s the dilemma with this place
the food was really damn good - the duck was incredibly fresh and tender, and wrapped perfectly in a mint-like leaf to add amazing flavor.
the best part was the garlic prawns, though. oozing with cream, these prawns were astoundingly juicy and immensely satisfying to eat.
as far as just taste, i don’t think i’ve had better seafood in my life than those prawns
here’s the issue, though - there’s just so little of it - especially when compared to the price
we ended up sharing the two dishes, as our server assured us this would be enough for 2 people - coming to about 18-20 per person, and this was simply not close to enough food - no matter how good it tasted.
as a restaurant, it’s a massive failure if guests are debating what place to eat at next in the middle of their current meal at that restaurant
so despite the fact that it was really good food, it was essentially just really good appetizers, and this made it an experience i wouldn’t come back to
overall: 9/10 food, 5/10 experience for a total
6.5/10

The food is the standout star of the restaurant. I came here for diner to catch up with family. The sticky rice dumplings were incredible, I’ve been thinking about them ever since I had them. The crispy duck fresh rolls were perfect as well, with beautiful textures and flavors. They had good N/A drinks as well. The dessert was spectacular as well, with the vanilla duck egg custard being the stand out star. The playing was beautiful and the food delicious. The chocolate crème torte was good as well but less unique. My one complaint was that it is quite noisy but I also visited at peak dinner hour on a Friday night.
Fantastic meal and service. We had a reservation for our group of 6 on a busy Friday evening. Lots of locals from the neighborhood dining. The baguette with butter and oil was so good - warm and crunchy crust and freshest butter. Winter Waltz rye cocktail was excellent. Great salad with squash and the fish was cooked to perfection. Great spot for an evening with friends. Friendly service.
Tucked into the hills of downtown Seattle, lies the Canlis Restaurant. During my trip to the west coast, I had to visit one of the top rated restaurants in the city…….make that the country⭐️. Break out your fancy schmancy attire for this occasion; or you will stick out like a poor thumb. (I meant what I said)
Was treated very kindly the entire evening. Derek was the bartender on this particular night, while Jose served me two excellent dishes. Most flavorful burger I’ve ever eaten; you will not feel as though you’ve “settled” for it at all. The scallop toast was a pleasant predecessor to that. Overall, enjoyable experience & I will return next time I am in Seattle.
Shoutout to the kitchen staff making it happen!!! ❤️

I enjoyed Stateside. My first course was crunchy chili garlic prawns, which were fantastic. I really enjoyed the prawn taste, and the crisp chopped garlic was a great complement, as was their home-made sriracha. Five nice prawns.
The goat curry was less exciting. I expected the flavors to be more distinct, but the dried green beans weren't very prominent and the dish was very brown and stewy. The portion was generous.
Wine service was good -- I asked to taste the Cab vs. the Syrah, and they happily obliged. Perhaps that sort of service explains the high price.

The hype and recognition really is worth it! First, the entrance is lovely. You are welcomed by a toasty fireplace (fall/winter) before being greeted by a host! Someone happily brings you to your table. The view is outstanding, depending on where you’re seated. If you’re going for something more romantic, I’d required a window seat/view. Each course was delicious and better than the next. Love that the dish was explained each time there was a new one. Made consuming it all the more interesting when thinking about flavors and materials. Of course, can’t forget the pack of matches as a keepsake! The photos are just a FEW that I took. Kept eating too quickly, which means it’s good! Side note: the Canlis signature salad is wonderful, as well as the aged wagyu!
Nice aesthetic restaurant that takes reservations! They have a good amount of seating and a nice patio for seating outside. Not a fan of the restaurant acoustics, it was a little loud with all the chatter when it was busy. (I couldn’t answer the phone inside, as I couldn’t hear the call)
We went here with a large group and they were so accommodating and service was great. Menu was extensive and there was something for everyone. I got the salmon and enjoyed it. They provided sides, that were shareable with the table. Good portions.

Yard House is a long-standing favorite. We love the chicken nachos and a big selection of beers. It's fancy bar food for the most part. The one here in Seattle is on point for a normal Yard House, and has a great central location between Pike Place, ferries, hotels, malls, shops and theatres. This last time the bartender Jenny was pretty funny and great also.
Stopped by on a whim to catch a game on the TV and had an amazing time. The Poke Nachos and Spicy Jambalaya were delicious and flavorful. Service is quick and top notch - the bar is so efficiently ran and pleasant wait staff.
We got disappointed from somewhere else and came here to celebrate my birthday. It was amazing. We were impressed with every single service there. They are kind. Lovely. Professional. Cocktails are tasty. Foods are yummy. Really

Located in the center of downtown, Stateside is a blend of elevated Vietnamese and American fare food.
You will need to find street parking. And the outside is very much the city but inside is a stylish private eatery. This place fills up very quickly, so make sure you get those reservations.
The food menu is short and sweet. But the quality of ingredients and the flavor profile from the small plates to the large plates is nothing short of amazing. A good riesling pairs nicely with most of the offerings. We ordered the mushroom springrolls, the crispy shrimp, ahi crudo, the chicken, and rockfish.
Michael was our server. He was intuitive and really great at understanding what we were looking for. Professional and responsive, he helped pair the amazing food with amazing service.
Midas 5-stars for a place worth UBering to for the food AND service.

I was here for my birthday after countless attempts of getting a reservation previous years during a time that was on a suitable date. You'll need to plan at least 2 months in advance, but it certainly won't disappoint.
Service and food were phenomenal. The atmosphere is a nice combination of cozy and trendy. We went at night but I believe day time might be better for the view.
Some key things I learned after my first time at Canlis: 7 course meal is preset (with some selections you can choose in between with no alterations) so definitely look at the menu online incase of picky eaters or dietary restrictions, parking is Valet ONLY, make sure to plan extremely early in advance to get a time/day you want. I looked 2 months in advance and managed to find a time slot that fit my needs!

We were going for dinner to the Yard House. The food was surprisingly good. We took salmon fillet and as well chicken fillet, both were incredibly flavorful and nicely paired with spicy sauce and quinoa side dishes. Both portion were large enough even for a hungry person and went well with crafted beers, which Yard House has a huge selection of them.
The service was attentive and this was a plus to the overall positive dining experience.
But … it was freezing cold inside. Maybe this is normal for large restaurants, but I do no think anyone can truly enjoy dinner in a cold atmosphere. I kept my jacket on me for the entire dinner and same did many other customers.

Camille, Grace and the rest of the staff guided us through a magical meal. They took into account my many and irritating dietary restrictions and created an experience that was specific to me. My husband enjoyed his meal tremendously as well. Camille brought us wine and cocktail pairings that were unbelievable and perfectly matched to the eight courses of our dinner. This was exactly the experience I needed. The pianist was magnificent. Everything was elegant and beautiful. I am an extremely grateful man to have experienced such a beautiful, rich and luxurious evening.
The service and the atmosphere was great. Duck was absolutely delicious. Hosts and servers are very friendly and communicative. However, my friend and I both had stomach discomfort 30 mins after we left the restaurant. We eat raw food all the time and almost never had this issue. The special salad dish was great. The chocolate birthday cake was amazing too. Favorite course is first course. But I didn’t like the green sauce on the wagyu. It was a little too much and tasted kinda cheap. Also the cheesecake is a little too dry. Cocktails menu could use some extra effort. Recommend ordering wine or champagne at this place cuz their cocktails flavor and presentation are both pretty ordinary. Nothing fancy. Our reservation was at 9, the temperature was nice and warm when we got in but towards the closing time, it was a little chilly.
One more comment about valet parking…they took out my cup holder tray and placed it on the mat of driver seat. I don’t know for what reason but they didn’t place it back. I step in the car and it hurt my ankle. Please be mindful when you take out things in a car and place it back where it belongs otherwise people get hurt…

Absolutely amazing experience here! The food was fantastic, there were 3 mystery courses, a pallette cleanser and 3 courses you choose. Each course was well thought out and complimented each other. Each of our party's dietary restrictions were carefully accounted for and their drinks were especially flavorful. But my 5 star review is mainly because our server, Forest was who made this my absolute favorite fine dining experience. He was amazing to talk to and her very in depth knowledge of the restaurant and the dishes. He was very accomodating to our needs and overall a delight. This will be my staple place to visit whenever I'm in the area.
Delightful place - staff who obviously love what they do. Nice decor and ambience, simple, with large windows to the street. Delicious pumpkin soup with Worcestershire and balsamic. Kale Caesar was flavorful with anchovy oil and flaked Parmesan. The boar ragu was rich, tender, hearty, and came with a perfect polenta. Really enjoyed our night out here.
This place is just okay. The food was average and the ambience was just okay. Service was fine too. Not really remarkable. We got some
Side dishes and 3 mains skipped dessert as there wasn’t anything that looked good. They generally have a limited menu. Thought the burger was probably the best entry. Bathroom is on the second floor which wasn’t amazing.
Most dishes are served with a potato casserole side instead of offering French fries.

We went to Canlis for a special occasion and the overall experience was good though not excellent.
I made reservation as soon as it is allowed, about two months in advance. The valet experience was the most impressive one. We arrived and the valet staff did not ask for our names nor did they give us a ticket for retrieving our vehicle as many other places do it. You literally just drop off your car and enter the restaurant.
We were seating shortly after our arrival. The pace was a little slow since it took quite some time before we were able to place order for our drinks.
The food was good both in terms of taste and presentation from a restaurant at this price point. I felt a little disappointed because nothing was surprising, except the battered squash. The food, presentation seemed to be influenced by Japanese cuisine and I felt maybe even a little too much.
Overall I would say this is a good place for special occasions but I think it has room for improvements.

Had steal cut oats: delicious. The food came out promptly, and the server was nice. Everyone enjoyed their meals and it was super helpful.they broke up the checks for a big party, most places won't do that. Lots of breakfast options and everything tasted fresh and was well presented. Would def go again.
Awesome happy hour, which is at the bar only. A bunch of things are $6, for half sized portions of the Small side of the menu. Duck and mushroom rolls are both wonderful. Cumin ribs also soft and flavorful.
Visited here for my promotion. It was the first time we have visited Canlis. I loved every moment of the experience. I was so full. They do not do wine pairings but your waiter is happy to pair different wines with your courses based on how many beverages you want to enjoy. The views are stunning day and night. We will definitely come back for a special occasion.
As a local in Seattle that seen this restaurant before pandemic I can assure that unfortunately the high price doesn't match the quality you are getting at this restaurant. First of all menu is very very small and extremely overpriced. Unless you just want to get burger and beer you are fine, but don't expect culinary experience like it was before. First of all my bees knees cocktail was extremely bitter, I tried it in many restaurants and I never had such a bad version of it.
Ceviche that came in a cup with local tortilla chips that were so hard that was impossible to eat. We made a comment to our waiter about that but seems like he ignored it. My fish was soaking in extremely untasty sauce and so many fava beans that were half raw. I don't understand this pairing to such a nice delicate slice of fish. The only good thing was dessert. But overall for $200 dinner we were very disappointed.

Overpriced for very small portions, & brown salad, but the fries were good. The cocktails were EXTREMELY overpriced, and not well made. Based upon other reviews, we thought this was a great place to try, but 1 sandwich w/fries & 2 cocktails was $72 before adding a tip. Our waitress was very friendly, but didn’t seem to care that the salad she served us was brown & unappetizing.
We had the pleasure of dining at Betty restaurant during our visit from Amsterdam, and it was truly a delightful experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.
The food was nothing short of amazing, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We can't recommend Betty restaurant enough, and we'll definitely be returning on our next visit.
Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!

Lived Damn the Weather! Had fabulous cocktails, a wonderful meal and our waitress was great. I loved the decor. (My husband even asked about the origin of the restaurant's name. See if your server knows.) We'll definitely be going back!
Food so good the conversation is going to be silent! The smash burger was divine and was prepared extremely well. Full of flavour and incredibly filling. Upbeat restaurant with a nice bar. Definitely a local hangout. Service was good and the waiter was always checking up on me. I enjoyed the location and is insulated from the street which is great. Recommend visiting.
Really delicious food all around and cozy atmosphere. Everything was scrumptious and the service was lovely as well. We got the cold ramen which was so refreshing on a hot day, the shrimp app which was AMAZING and the ribs are delicious as well. Really can't go wrong at this cute queen Anne eatery.
Came here for drinks and appetizers. The inside was so cute and quaint and the lighting was dim and perfect. Good atmosphere for sure. We got the cheese plate which was delicious. We also got the fries which my picture turned out blurry but they were decent with a great aïoli dipping sauce. We also got the cracker jacks which was a nice sweet bite. The drinks were ok felt like they were pretty weak especially after having 3 and didn't feel like I had much of a buzz which is rare for me. Overall the service was decent and no complaints there.
I’ve been to Betty several times over the years and it remains one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. The lasagna is incredible, the adobo was top shelf and their burgers are amazing. They used to have an unbelievable octopus appetizer but no more. Hoping they bring it back occasionally. Super service and great location up on Queen Anne.
We ordered breakfast in bed, and enjoyed the spread that was prepared for us.
My wife and I ordered the brunch and booze combo.
I had a mocha w/oat milk with a classic Benedict. All very good except the hollandaise sauce seemed coagulated and not enough flavor from it;I didn't get any additional flavor from it. Maybe more lemon or something needed?
My wife had the chai latte with oat milk and ordered the avocado toast to eat. The avocado toast was much bigger than expected and definitely was filling. Left without feeling guilty about it, and the flavors were all there. Very flavorful. There was a distinct flavor we absolutely enjoyed, but wasn't sure about what it was--possibly the tomato chutney.
With that combo also came mimosas, orange or grapefruit. We decided on grapefruit and found it to be delicious.
Service was hospitable and timely. Not the cheapest experience ever, but we really enjoyed it.

We had never heard of this place, and it was booked because of an "Open Table" suggestion. I'm SO GLAD that it was suggested because YES, we loved it!
Stateside is an absolute GEM. Delicious cocktails, outstanding smaller plates- spicy shrimp being one of the best prawn dishes that I have ever had. Incredible. They were crunchy on the outside and cooked to perfection on the inside. You MUST order this dish! The fresh duck spring rolls were just as fantastic! We then had the Goat Curry as a main and were so glad that we did. It was phenomenal! Consistency of a pulled pork dish, but so much more flavorful and delicious!
I can't wait for another excuse to visit. Make sure you have a reservation as the place filled up VERY fast after opening at 5p. By 5:30, the place was full of groups and couples about to experience something wonderful! Amazing place, and it's definitely a must visit when in Seattle.

Had an scrumptious meal at Betty's last week. Our server was incredible, very personable and attentive. The cocktails, oysters and ribs were on point. I absolutely adored their back patio, it was a perfect setting for a summer evening meal. We will definitely be back soon to explore more of the menu.
Hotel restaurants can so often be an underwhelming experience, but happily Conversation is excellent. The food is delicious with inspired ingredients, the cocktails are great and innovative, and the service very attentive.
But beyond that, I must say that the atmosphere at Conversation is special. I don't honestly know what it is, but coming for dinner in the evening, it just feels so relaxing and intimate. The gentle lighting, the bronze silverware, the glow from the windows, maybe it's all these things and more, there's just an attention to detail that makes itself known subliminally that just makes dinner here wonderful.
They also do breakfast which didn't leave the same impression on me. I'd much more recommend dinner.
