Corvus & Company - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. The dark but inviting bar created a welcoming atmosphere. What truly stood out, however, was the people. We were blown away by the hospitality and service. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, even escorting a man with a walker to and from the restroom. The cook personally came out to recommend the homemade tortillas with our cheese dip. This place offers the best local bar feeling and welcoming, making you forget any 'Seattle freeze. ' The cheese dip was absolutely AMAZING, perfect for an instagram worthy cheese pull.

Corvus has been our north star since 2016, serving as our preferred starting and ending point for nights out. It's a true crown jewel of the neighborhood, a place that truly doesn't make 'em like they used to. I even jokingly (but honestly) call it 'the only bar in Seattle. ' The venue offers a remarkable variety of atmospheres under one roof, from a lively open bar and cozy booths perfect for dates, to a personal favorite – the patio. It's uniquely situated in the heart of Broadway, yet feels tucked away from the chaos of Pike/Pine, offering an experience that is both open and embraced; it's pure magic. We love this spot so much that we even hosted our engagement party here. Vi and his team were extraordinary – kind, professional, and managed to orchestrate a joyful celebration with great food and thoughtful accommodation of dietary restrictions, making the night unforgettable. On a recent visit, we noticed a menu change, and while our beloved dumplings were gone, what replaced them was an elevation. Corvus has boldly entered a new chapter, offering vibrant, tangy, and deeply delicious Mexican fare. This cuisine feels like an elegant, modern take on traditional cooking, with sauces that sing, flavors that truly hit, and dishes that pair perfectly with a cold drink, like our go-to dirty martini. The bartenders consistently deliver. Many establishments lose their soul during chef changes or significant pivots, but Corvus never does. After nearly a decade of observing their evolution, they remain true to themselves and consistently prioritize their customers. They take risks, refresh when necessary, and crucially, keep the heart of the place intact. We couldn't recommend it more. This bar has been an integral part of our lives for almost ten years, and it continues to get better. 🖤

My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service and vibe were solid, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, the drinks were a major letdown. Despite looking appealing on paper, they were horribly syrupy and sweet, lacking any balance. It felt like the ingredients were chosen by someone knowledgeable about cocktails, but the proportions were handled by someone who wasn't. If you're seeking a good drink, I'd recommend crossing the street to Herb & Bitter.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The new menu is really good. Our group of four loved everything we had. We will definitely be back!

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food was good, although the portion sizes were small. The ambience was pleasant, but the noise level was so loud that it made having a good conversation difficult. We initially sat inside but moved to the patio hoping for less noise, but it didn't seem to help as the patio was also noisy.

My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. I thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails; the Ruin cocktail with chili liqueur was outstanding and served in an ice-cold glass! The Halloween and Dia de los Muertos decorations were inspired, and the music was at a perfect volume, not too loud 😎, allowing for easy conversation with friends. However, I would not order the prawn app again as it was overcooked.

My experience at this restaurant was truly special, especially regarding the food and atmosphere. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, making it perfect for a date or a nice dinner with friends. The food is incredible and tastes like home. I highly recommend the queso fundido, the tacos, and the enchiladas. The specials are also on another level of flavor. The drinks are good, and they have a great happy hour from opening to 6 PM. Previously, I noted that the service was not good and we felt unattended. However, after posting my review, the manager personally reached out to apologize and explained that the service issues were due to being short-staffed during busy weeks, assuring me they are addressing the problem. I appreciate the explanation and understand the situation. I will visit again to verify, and I'm hoping for a better attitude of service to make all guests feel more welcome. Honestly, the food and vibe are well worth coming back for.

The vibe at this restaurant is always so cool, and the food is consistently on point. I've been friends with the chef, Rudy, and have been following his work. We tried the Chile en Nogada, salbutes de cochinita, and enchiladas de mole – everything was very tasty. Our experience could have been more enjoyable if the service was better, though. We arrived, and our table took about 8 minutes to get cleaned, with the bartender having to come and clean it. The waitresses looked annoyed and barely came to our table to check on us. I do understand it's tiring to be on their feet all day, but we really wanted to have a good time, and this area can certainly be improved.

My recent experience at Corvus was disappointing. The food quality has significantly declined. Both the Gambas and Queso were greasy and oily. We ended up at another top spot bar in town enjoying their queso, and the first thing my partner and I said was, “so much better than Corvus. What was the deal with their food? ”

My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. The service was inconsistent and the staff were rude. They seemed unsure about their own policies, enforcing rules one moment and not the next. I would find another place as there are plenty of better options available.
