Lake Union Restaurants

We had the pleasure of celebrating both Valentine’s Day and our anniversary at South Lake Union’s Daniels Broiler, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Our server, Robert, was exceptional — perfectly attentive without ever being intrusive, and his extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list made our choices easy. He guided us to the perfect red blend to accompany our meal, enhancing the entire dining experience. We started with the crispy calamari and oysters on the half shell, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and impeccably prepared. For my entrée, I chose the crested Aji tuna, which was cooked to perfection, with beautiful flavors and a stunning presentation that looked almost too good to eat. My partner opted for Daniel’s filet mignon, which was prepared exactly as he requested — tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We concluded our meal with Daniel’s Broiler’s signature coconut ice cream, complete with toasted coconut chips and a drizzle of hot fudge. It was simply out of this world. If you haven't experienced it yet, I highly recommend it! A special thanks again to Robert for his fantastic service and to the chefs for delivering an exceptional meal. Every aspect of our evening was perfect — from the food to the ambiance to the flawless service. We will certainly be returning for more memorable nights like this one. Simply fantastic.

Ian our server was super attentive and knowledgeable about the food....most impressive service because he was able to accommodate my buddy who is vegan....the food was super delicious....and the tiramisu is to die for! Also kudos to the food runner Markus - very friendly and always smiling!

A Seattle Favorite – Republic Never Disappoints For my colleagues and me, a trip to Seattle isn’t complete without a meal at Republic. It’s become a tradition—no matter how packed our schedules are, we always find time to come back. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality keep us returning again and again. For me, the highlight is always the pork chop—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with some of the best grits and collard greens I’ve ever had. It’s the kind of meal you think about long after you’ve left, counting down the days until you can have it again. Republic isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a staple of our Seattle visits. If you’re looking for a spot that consistently delivers incredible food and a warm, welcoming experience, this is it. Already looking forward to my next visit!

I loved the view and the drinks, i do feel like the food menu can change. I ordered the Lamb Shank - Wasnt a fan it was pretty gainy Also ordered crab toast - it was different but it was terrible. The best thing we ate was the oven baked oysters. We also had baklava for bday cake but it wasnt all that. 3 rounds of double shots of hennessy Total spent was $208 - was it worth it no. Did i have a good time - yes. If i visit again i will probably just stick to drinks

The oysters and fisherman’s stew were incredible. My only regret was I didn’t get a bowl of bisque to go. Highly recommended.
