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.

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.

The server was not attentive. Only one silverware was brought to the table. I asked the server for an additional silverware setting. Which he did not bring. My food came to the table, I waiting about 15 minutes before I had to ask the hostess for a set. I had to ask the table near me to barrow the Tabasco at their table. I paid for the bottomless mimosas, but that was a waste because who knows where he disappeared to. The other tables around had a different server and they were getting the best out of the bottomless meanwhile I had to wait until I was finished eating and ready for the check to receive a second glass. He also added the 20% gratuity to the check for a party of two that he did not earn or deserve. The site states auto gratuity will be added to parties of five.

A very average eating experience; like 100 other mid-range "American" food places with some diversity to themenu but nothing really interesting. Quality of food ok but not much for the price.

Fish tacos tasted like barely defrosted, frozen fish sticks. However, The salmon bowl was good and the prices were terrific, especially in the Wharf neighborhood.
