    We come here regularly because we always like the atmosphere, food quality and excellent service. We brought 4 out of town guests for dinner yesterday. One of my guests has a severe dairy sensitivity. The staff was extremely conscientious and attentive in reviewing what the kitchen could do to accommodate her including ensuring all requested dishes were both dairy free as well as having no risk of cross-contamination. This is a very important consideration for those with food sensitivity. The execution was great. I had the lamb shank which was huge and delicious. Our guests had a wonderful (and uneventful) meal. Thank you.

    We've gone to Andaluca many times over the year but time slipped by and it might have been 6 years since we've eaten there. It didn't let us down. The atmosphere feels like a small NYC bar/restaurant. It's dark and sophisticated but comfortable. The food was very good. All five of us liked the paella, lamb chops, pork chops, risotto and beet salad. Prices aren't cheap but they are on a par or even slightly below comparable restaurants. Last but not least, the service was perfect.

    Beautiful anytime of year but especially wondrous during the holidays. The staff is kind and friendly and Queen Mary herself checks in on the guests to ensure everyone is enjoying their tea. We live in LA but anytime we come up to Seattle, Queen Mary is a must visit!

    Service was great. Ambience and noise level were comfortable and as expected for a well known breakfast spot. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars on the food, was that the yolks in the poached eggs were firm instead of fluid. Otherwise, the food was good!
