My girlfriend and I wanted to like this place. We really did. From the outside it had all the makings to be a great "locals only" hangout- amazing location, intriguing looking building. However, the honeymoon ended as soon we walked in the door. Despite the nice decor, the restaurant had an atmosphere equivalent to the DMV: the staff was blatantly rude, lacked basic knowledge about menu items, and the service was painfully slow even though the place was nearly-empty. Also, We must have been seated near a vent coming off the bathroom but the place smelled FUNKY. Like they had been boiling spoiled broccoli in vats of urine all day. In general the place was filthy. The food was no better. BOTH my girlfriend and I discovered hair in our food. Seriously? Even without the hair the food was disgusting. Imagine if you partially warmed up an expired TV dinner from 7-11 and then poured canola oil on top of it. Though we were both hungry neither of us could stomach much of our meals. To top it all off everything was WAY overpriced. Even if you paid me I would not eat here. Honestly I'm no restaurant connoisseur and it doesn't take much to make me happy but this place was unbelievable. In a nut-shell: Do NOT go here.

My friends and I have a sort of "HH club" where we try different places for HH periodically and we all give kudos to Greenlake Bar & Grill as having one of the most decent HH food for the value. For the prices you get pretty decent sized portions of your basic menu items, such as wedge and Caesar salads, burgers, fries, etc. Drinks specials also during HH. Pros: Great HH deals, location Cons: Parking

We have never had a bad experience here. We come here about every 2-3 weeks and even went before a show at Benaroya Hall the other night, (all dressed up.) It's so comfortable there, neighborhood pub, yet family restaurant--is that alright? Sure it is!! The happy hours prices are outrageous-the Blackened Salmon is superb--the Sweet Potato fries are delicious...combine the salmon w/a sm. wedge salad-and viola!--In the summer, you walk around Greenlake, then go to the restaurant. Very friendly service.Highly recommend.Only downfall is they have one potty per gender. But, I can live with that.

As others said, it really is fabulous. The prices are fantastic and the food is good. The problem is that the bar is pretty small. The outdoor seating is amazing in the summer. The people watching is fantastic. You can see everyone out and about walking Greenlake.

Seattle is a city with great restaurants, bars and cuisine, why bother embarrassing yourself by taking a date here and wasting your money and looking like a scmuck for bringing them to such a horrible less than zero restaurant and bar, that even the regulars scoff at. The Grill offers mediocre food that is over priced, bad service not worth tipping on and an environment that makes a morgue look like a rave. Seattle has to many great places to choose from, find a better place to go.

I like this place. The atmosphere is comfortable. The food is good. The service is good. They have a great happy hour and I can take my kids here sometimes and they enjoy it. Parking can sometimes be a hassle - but it's Green Lake! Pros: Great Happy Hour, Friendly Cons: None really - sometimes you have to wait to be seated

I love this restaurant. I have been there probably 30 times and I have never left dissapointed. They have great food and drinks and the most amazing happy hour I have ever been too. You can get a plate of pasta for $1.99! It might not be the best pasta you have ever had but it's cheap and it tastes good. During regular hours I always get the raviollis or the burger--both are delicious! I tend to drink mixed drinks and cocktails and while they are a little spendy they are always stiff. They have great servers too; everyone has always been friendly, energetic and attentive, even when they are super busy. The atmosphere is great, it's funky, upbeat and they play great music in the bar. You are never subjected to dreary elevator type music. It's a great place and I recommend it to every one. Pros: Happy hour, stiff drinks Cons: It's hard to get a seat in the bar at times
