Horrible Happy Hour 7/18/2009

We arrived at 3:00 for Happy Hour. We were told there wouldn't be any food for 45 minutes although Happy Hour starts at 3:00. We enjoyed the view and drinks and finally ordered an appetizer. It came cold inside, yet burned on top. The table behind us summoned the server to complain about hair in their food. The server was inept and charged us regular prices rather than Happy Hour. Yes, the view was great but not worth the $25.00 and hassle. There are hundreds of wonderful Seattle Happy Hours with great food and some with views. Don't waste your time. Pros: Great view Cons: Horrific food, terrible service more

You are paying for the view 5/2/2009

The only thing special about the food is how expensive it is! Even the happy hour prices are too high. You are definitely paying for only one thing here- the view of Elliott Bay and Seattle. If you're entertaining out-of-town guests I would recommend taking them here. Pros: Great skyline view of Seattle Cons: Overpriced more

Decent seafood, a bit overrated 4/24/2009

The food here is pretty good (though eating too much seafood during their lunch buffets is an easy way to get sick). The view is also great. That said, people hype this restaurant too much. It's good, but it's not top-tier either in food or ambiance. Pros: Great view; Decent seafood Cons: Overrated more

great view, food - just okay 3/21/2009

The view was incredible here and we had great service. I did not think that the food was very good. I ordered Alaskan King Crab legs and they were over cooked and did not seem that fresh. They were also on the small side. My husband ordered a steak cooked medium and there was absolutely no pink. The appetizers were okay but the crab cake tasted a bit like tuna. The atmosphere was nice...not too stuffy, not too casual, but the food was very mediocre. (I noticed that another reviewer commented on the smell when entering and we noticed the same thing right away. Once seated at our table we could not smell anything, but it was a turn-off.) Pros: view & service Cons: food quality, odd smell when entering the restaurant more

Food was okay, but service was really bad 3/20/2009

The place had the best views of downtown Seattle. However the service was really bad and not just at our table. At the tables adjacent to ours as well. Had to wait for an hour after our appetizers to get the entrees. Never asked if we wanted more to drink or even filled water. Could not find the waiter at all. When the Dessert option came he said it's on me and then he put it in the bill. This was on a weekday, not crowded at all. We were very disappointed. Food is okay, but service really poor...Expect to be there at least 3 hours. You may get out of a swanky fine dining place faster... Pros: View Cons: Service - Really bad more
