After recently moving back to Seattle to start my business, I was very excited to check out this spot. As an avid reader, I’m always looking for a new regular spot. I definitely should have read the reviews before walking my happy A33 down there. Y’all need to fire that bartender and hire some one respectable. I left with a horrendous feeling and I feel it every time I walk by this place And this is coming from the one person who wasn’t being ignored and denied service. Wouldn’t recommend. 4 seasons is about the same price and the service is for royalty while the food reflects the price. Not that far from this place. good luck!

I really liked the vibe and service of the place. I just had a dessert here. Loved that carrot cake. Probably one of the most flavorful carrot cake I have ever had.

Had 2 experiences here on a recent trip. Breakfast was pretty good. Avocado toast (minus pick de Gallo) is on pointe! They do not know how to make an over medium egg however. Coffee is strong. Breakfast wait staff is MIA a lot which is strange since it’s a small joint. Went back for evening drinks. Whisky menu lives up to its hype. They made me a mean old fashioned and another cocktail, which want quite “craft” but I’ll take it. Whisky flights are on the docket for next trip. Bartender and evening wait staff were friendly and attentive. Try the carrot cake. It’s special, and that’s saying a lot for carrot cake. Ginger jam and grapefruit preserves elevate this typically bland and dry desert to something you crave again the next day.

Slow service, staff was clearly unhappy about being medium busy. We had a group of 10 who wanted to come in for dinner, with a few more meeting for drinks after. The person organizing called ahead and was told they wouldn’t accommodate that many for dinner, but we could come in for drinks. It turns out they couldn’t really even handle that.

Beautiful hotel bar and cafe. Contemporary decor with comfortable homey furnishings. The front section is the bar, and the back is an open room with various types of seating arrangemet. The morning period is relatively quiet, and breakfast is well executed and beautifully plated.

Stopped in for drinks before we had dinner at Vons 1000. Quality drinks served here! I got their Collins special and my brother had the smoked Manhattan. We could come back.

The bar & cafe is separated into two areas, the decor is unique as it is in the style of a bookstore. The service was polite and quite fast. We had a cheeseboard with some red and white wine, and even got to witness the infamous Seattle weather, literally showering relentlessly without warning.
