Approachable sophisticated Pacific Northwest cuisine, simply prepared using the finest regional ingredients and served in a dining room with maritime-inspired design and sweeping views of Elliott Bay.

Goldfinch Tavern is a collaboration between Ethan Stowell and Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. Named for the state bird of Washington, the American Goldfinch.

The upscale tavern pays homage to the city’s pioneer days, when taverns catered to lumberjacks and sailors alike, providing a place for travelers and locals to both socialize and conduct business, all while enjoying drinks and food.

    Goldfinch isn't what it once was. The limited menu is ok, some listed wines are unavailable, not up to their standard, and the staff only gets 65% of the included 20% tip. I think they have and can do much better.

    I give Goldfinch a 4 rather than 5, not because anything is amiss with food or service, but because--given its location in a Four Seasons hotel, the menus should be more exciting. It's hard to think what particular plate served there is so unique or compelling that I have to return to Goldfinch again and again. With its ambiance, attention to quality and service, I, for one, can't help but feel it should be a far more exciting destination. It is good, very good; just not distinctive.

    The food was good and atmosphere great. Service was slow; bartender was busy and should have had help. Server would not give us separate checks for an almost$300 check. Said she could not do it. Either lazy or not too bright.

    We had an excellent anniversary dinner last night. It just happened that the two tables next to us were also celebrating their anniversary. We got a bottle of complimentary champagne to share which was super generous and considerate. The food was excellent and our waiter Tom was superb! It was a bit noisy as the restaurant was busy due to the holiday season, otherwise it was a perfect evening!! Thank you!

    My friend had the cobb salad - she said it was good; we split an order of fries - excellent. I had the heirloom tomato salad - absolutely awful…I mean almost inedible - thin, mushy no flavor and presentation was (literally) as thrown together :( $18 for that mess really hurt, but our server was great and it is Christmas 🤷🏻‍♂️

    We took our 2 friends from San Diego to Sunday brunch at the 4 seasons hotel. The restaurant is nice and the service fast and fine. Food was very expensive as expected but was certainly not delicious. In addition, both me and my husband felt somewhat sick on our stomach hours after brunch. Hope our friends are OK. Will not go again.
