   The fried chicken is the bomb! Awesome if they would open the bar earlier. I would totally go back.

   It took a long time to get our food. The risotto was rather bland and unimpressive.

   Our hostess was nice and seated us with a warm smile. Our server Jake was super attentive, and very sincere in making our 1st dining experience a memorable one! The food was super tasty. We will definitely be back!

   I found the food to be overly salted, poorly paired (main with sides), and oddly overly spicy. My dinner partner was so disappointed with his main meal he sent it back and then had to wait nearly an hour for another dish. The server was very kind and took the charge for this entree off our bill, but the evening meal was quite disappointing.

   I was really excited to go back to Ben Paris as I hadn’t been since before COVID. Although my dining companions seemed to enjoy their meals, mine was so cold I had to send it back. The service was very nice and they remade it with a smile, but even after getting I was disappointed. Who would think a carnitas bowl would be bland. As I said the service was good and my friends liked their food so maybe I should give it another go but I was disappointed this time around..

   A delicious breakfast! We had the pancake and the standard Ben Paris all American breakfast. This was our second time staying at the State Hotel and eating at Ben Paris. Both did not disappoint!

Additionally, we're thrilled that your second visit to both the State Hotel and Ben Paris was just as satisfying as the first! It was a pleasure welcoming you, and we look forward to your next visit!

   The lamb sausage in the tagliatelle tasted bland and a little off, it was also cold. I could not eat the sausage at all. The rest of the dish was lacked the overall flavor needed with the sausage. The woman at the next table had ordered the same dish and she also could not eat the sausage. I recommend NOT ordering the Tagliatelle . For dessert I had the Affogato which came with not quite a half scoop of ice cream affecting the overall creaminess expected in an Affogato. My husband ordered the pork loin and said the kale and corn sauce was very tasty but the pork was over cooked. We enjoyed ourselves, the service was fine and cocktails were interesting.

   I’ve been to Ben Paris previously for dinner and had an amazing server by the name of Hatti or Hatty? She pronounced it as “Hat-Tea” and she definitely left a lasting impression. She recommended a pasta with a certain type of beef, which was outstanding. Came back into town with my family who have never been to Seattle and immediately booked a breakfast. The meals were just as delicious as the dinner meals. Highly recommend dining here not only because of the food and service, but the location is the best (one block from Pike Place Market). I’d recommend parking in the parking garage across the street which gives you easy access to everything, which I believe costs about $26 overnight, but definitely worth the price due to location. A+++

   Dear Clydon, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. It sounds like we hit the mark with our breakfast and dinner! We truly appreciate the wonderful compliments about Hatti's service, we will be sure to let her know your kind words! We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon, and thanks for the A+++ rating! Cheers, The Ben Paris team
