Review summary
AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Station 4 is a lively spot in the Southwest community, ideal for celebrations and special occasions. Guests rave about the "attentive and proactive" service and delicious food, particularly the prix-fixe menu options. The happy hour offers fantastic drinks and a vibrant atmosphere. Conveniently located near Arena Stage, it's perfect for pre-theatre dining. However, some noted noise levels and service inconsistencies. Overall, "definitely would come back" sums up the positive experiences.

The review does not allow me to give no stars. But I would give our dinning experience no stars.
In an empty resturaunt we were given the worst table.
The large staff and manger were just 5 ft away and talking over us.
The food was poor at its best and serrvice poor.
I never not lrave a tip but in this case I left $1 to make my displeasure known.

Excellent brunch menu! The service staff could be a bit more attentive, but no complaints outside of that.

After seeing great pics and video on social media, we thought to give it a try. Only ordered apps after all. Brussel sprouts lacked flavor; artichoke Crab dip was very fishy and thick; Mac n cheese was good but corn bread was hard and dry; calamari was ok. Drinks were good. Friday night and it was virtually empty. Very disappointing after the hype we expected.

The food was amazing, but a bit pricey for silverware to come wrapped in paper towels. It was Ruth’s Chris prices.
A group on the other side of the restaurant was loud as hell. Their noise over powered the other tables and the music.
The server was nice and was eyes on so it was easy to ask for additional drinks, napkins, boxes, etc
For drivers, there’s street parking and a garage right across next to the Safeway

Not a place to come for a quiet meal before going to the theatre. Ear drum piercing noise from multiple tables. And the place was only a third full. Food and service excellent.
