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.

Great food! Friendly staff! Convenient for guests staying at the hotel, but also accessible to the general public. Located close to Pike Place Market.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
