BOGO Appetizers Saved the Day
We were tempted by the BOGO appetizer promotion, even though we had just eaten lunch an hour earlier. Our first appetizer, the Sake Togarashi Calamari, had too much batter and tasted like it was fried in old oil, making it not very good. The seasoning sprinkled on it tasted like Old Bay. We liked the Warm Salmon Dip much better; the salmon was well-cooked, and the bread complemented it well. Our waitress was friendly. Overall, it was only worth stopping by because we were already inside the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum and the BOGO appetizer promotion made it a good deal.

Great Local Beer Spot Near Monorail
This is a convenient spot, perfect for before or after visiting the needle. They offer a great selection of local beer, available both on tap and in cans. Its location right next to the monorail stop makes it incredibly accessible.

Excellent Service and Delicious Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was served by Erin, who provided excellent service. For food, the clam chowder was creamy, thick, and full of flavor. The garlic fries were a table favorite. I highly recommend saving room for the monkey bread for dessert.

Favorite Seattle Restaurant: Worth Every Penny!
This was our favorite restaurant during our visit to Seattle. We came here three times. It features a brief but interesting menu, exquisite food, and amazing collections throughout the space. It's not cheap, but we thought it was worth every penny!

Terrible Service Ruined Lunch
My lunch experience was far from what I expected. We faced a 10-minute wait to be seated, followed by another 10 minutes before our server appeared. Our food took about 20 minutes to arrive. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Sliders, medium, but they were served almost raw. It took another five minutes to get our server's attention. When I explained the issue, she asked if I wanted it cooked longer, to which I agreed. There was no apology. Subsequently, my meal was placed at the back of the queue, resulting in another 20-minute wait. My wife had finished her meal by the time mine returned. The server simply placed it down with a "here you go" and disappeared again, still without an apology. The server's lack of attentiveness and professionalism was comparable to fast food, not an upscale establishment. Other staff members appeared professional and attentive. This server ruined our lunch with her inattentiveness and unprofessionalism.

Enjoyable beer and salmon dip
My experience at this bar, attached to Chihuly Garden and Glass, was quite pleasant. I was able to enter directly from the outside. I ordered a beer and a warm salmon dip and enjoyed it for a while. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the food received a 4. Service was also rated highly at 5, with no wait time.

Great Lunch Near Space Needle
We stopped in for a quick lunch on a Saturday in August after visiting the Space Needle. Despite looking crowded, we were able to get two seats at the bar. The bartender was with us quickly, providing water and menus. We ordered calamari as an appetizer and had the clam chowder for lunch. The food was very good; I had a good amount of clam chowder while in the Seattle area and thought this was very good. The atmosphere was bright and lively. The noise level wasn’t bad considering how busy they were, and we didn’t wait long for food. The prices were what we expected for being right by the Space Needle and museum, and they weren’t bad. The staff were friendly and attentive. We walked from our hotel but didn’t notice any nearby parking. There is plenty of public transportation, including the monorail, which is close by. We enjoyed this lunch.

Bright Atmosphere, Good Chicken Sandwich
I had a late lunch here while attending Worldcon in Seattle. My experience was very positive. I enjoyed a very good chicken sandwich and appreciated the very bright atmosphere. It was a unique experience to have a few drinks while underneath the dozens of accordions hanging from the ceiling, which may even inspire a future short story. The price is reasonable for a place in the city.

Great Food, Service Needs Work
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food and atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. However, the service was a bit of a letdown due to a "ditzy server. " Despite this, I would go out of my way to come back again.

Okay Food, Okay Atmosphere, Service Lacking
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was charming with ample lighting and good people-watching opportunities. However, the food was just "OK. " While the sliders and pasta looked appealing, they didn't live up to their appearance. The service also wasn't great during my visit, though your experience may vary. It's a convenient stop for a quick bite if you're nearby, but don't expect a memorable meal. For a cheap, quick bite, the Armory across the alley might be a good alternative. Overall, it was not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it.
