    Everything we ordered was great except for the chicken dish, and the miso pasta that my son ordered with chicken. Both of those chicken dishes were extremely dry and hard to swallow from dryness. I tasted it myself to check it and they were right. Very unfortunate. The rest of our appetizers, dinners and desserts were great. (6 people total). We also had to ask the waiter to change our appetizer plates because there was a strong stinky smell from them. The new plates were good. I had a better experience the first time time we were here so I have to say I was somewhat disappointed this time around especially for a place like this.

    What a lovely venue! Bright and airy with stellar views of Elliott Bay and the surroundings. We had Saturday brunch and all our meals were outstanding — delicious generous potions. Our server was attentive and considerate of our long stay for a holiday visit with friends we haven’t seen for a year. We CC will return.

    Over medium eggs were very runny with the egg whites uncooked. Other than that, all excellent.

    Fantastic low light quiet ambience. Live sax and bass playing blues during dinner! Short rib and halibut were perfectly cooked.

    We took my daughter out for a nice dinner after the Nutcracker and was incredibly disappointed. Not sure if the order wasn't put in with the kitchen but we waited 45 minutes for our food while everyone around us who were seated after us were served before us, and two of our dishes (halibut/scallops) sat under a heat lamp for a long time. The check came with a 20% service charge which we would have been fine with if the food and service warranted such a generous tip. Not a very impressive wine list either. Will not be planning to return or suggest to friends.

    We were there for Christmas dinner. Our server was amazing we really loved them. Our food was mostly great every course, except weirdly the main course. They were undercooked. We reluctantly sent it back and still not great. Other than that the location was wonderful the atmosphere beautiful and festive.

    The view is amazing but the food was lacking flavor and the salad was soggy. Service was great though.

    Charlotte is a great, almost-hidden gem in this part of Seattle. The food is top-notch. We're vegan, and we're impressed with the number of vegan options available. You can't beat the view, either. We're locals. This was our first time, but we'll be back.
