   For an upscale restaurant, the food was basic and nothing wow worthy. Additionally, even though the place wasn’t busy, we constantly had to grab someone’s attention for drink refills. I expected more for the price.

   It was the Executive Chefs day off. The food was mediocre at best and the service very ordinary. The salmon dip was already plated and just taken out of the fridge. I know this because there was condensation on the bowl and the dip had started to separate. The Turkey dinner arrived before we had finished the starter. The turkey was very dry and salty and the chestnut stuffing had never seen a chestnut. It was a bread stuffing. The green bean casserole was Luke warm. The potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce were good. We didn’t stay for dessert. Don’t waste your money here. Go somewhere that will appreciate the $100 a head that you’re spending.

   It’s a beautiful location, and there was excellent service. The food was sub par compared to other similarly priced options. It is quite noisy so conversation can be difficult if you’re not ready to talk loudly.

   Watery quarter sized scallops with a huge mound of lentils and no sauce or flavor what so ever for $50. Server came when we got there and didn’t see him again until we flagged him down for the check. Hostess appeared bored and rude and on the way to take us to our seats, stopped to chat with another host and we just stood there while they talked. Mediocre appetizer dip that tasted like grocery store hummus.

   Great dips for appetizers, very average entree salads, cocktail was not good (had a $17 old fashioned that was so sweet I couldn't finish it), service was average. Prices were very high for what it was, we chose it mostly because it was close to the Paramount theater. Would go back for appetizers probably wouldn't do dinner again.

   I was underwhelmed and disappointed by the food. Should have been top notch based on the past reviews and price. Would not recommend it.

   Wasn’t impressed with the food. The vibe is good but truly was not worth the price.

   This is the first time I’ve had to write a bad review. My soup was awful, just water with no flavor and I truly think it was a mistake. I would have sent it back but I already had to send my martini back! It was supposed to be “a little dirty” but it was mostly olive juice.

    It was quite loud and the open tables were very close together. It was difficult to encourage my daughter (young adult) to converse because we were within 3 feet of the people on either side of us. In that regard, it felt a lot like a diner. However, the food was excellent. The steak was tender, cooked just as I like it, and the fries were so good my dining partner stole most of them! The salmon was cooked just right as well. The serving staff were attentive and always polite. They contributed to our appreciation of the meal. The quality of the meal means we will return when we're in Seattle again. But, we'll request a booth or a quieter spot next time.
