- FFrankChicago / Illinois •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely love this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the food and drinks are superb, so is the view and so is service (for the most part). I almost always order from the special or seasonal menu, and this time was no exception. Winter salad, scallops, special drink and espresso. The ingredients are simple but masterfully prepared. Sometimes difficult to get a reservation, so worth planning ahead. Highly recommend.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8
- VVickieSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoThe Hatback Grille was fabulous!! Great food! Great drinks! Our waitress was very good as well!! The only problem we had was that our reservation was nowhere to be found! It did not get from Open Table to the restaurant! The person at the check in desk handled it beautifully!! We were seated very quickly! Great on the part of Hatback, not so great on Open Table.More infoHatback Bar & GrillePrice: Moderate• American• Pioneer Square•4.3
