This is a coffee bar with a small open-air restaurant area in the Rainier Square lobby. Easy to find from the underground parking garage and the parking is fully validated, making this an attractive, moderately-priced restaurant to visit for dinner in downtown Seattle. The menu is small but the seafood chowder was excellent. Rigatoni bolognese and fish and chips were well-prepared too. Plenty of cocktails on the menu and a few decent beers. Good service and good price for value. My colleague was staying nearby at the Fairmont and I would choose this restaurant again.

The host took us early for our reservation without a blink. We sat out on the patio, which was great. It felt private, even though there were other people right next to us, no one's conversation was too loud. We shared the chicken dish - just right for 2 people and we added a Ceasar salad. We had one blood orange Margarita and one non- alcoholic drink that was ginger beer based. Both were fantastic. RAOUL was our fantastic bartender/waiter. So pleasant and charming. No dessert. With tax and tip it was $91. It was our anniversary dinner so was perfect 👌

First time here. Great spot. Loungy vibe. Was recommended by a friend. Had a great table with a sofa by the fireplace. Service was A+++ (Thanks Cristobal for the great service and recommendations). Food was great. Burger perfectly cooked and the pasta was really good. Oh, and the Espresso Martinis were AMAZING!!! Will definitely be back for those Spressi Martíns!

Decided to try this spot before a matinee at The 5th Avenue Theatre across the street and so glad we did. Our waiter, Sheldon, made great recommendations for craft cocktails that were unique and smooth. The chop chop salad was plentiful and very tasty and the chocolate coconut cake was the perfect way to end the meal. Great casual but refined atmosphere that felt both secluded and open, with quiet conversations buzzing around us. Perfect location in the heart of downtown for a business lunch, or prior to the theater or shopping.

It's closed on weekends, yet Open Table let us make a reservation. We had to scramble around to find somewhere else to eat. Really inconvenient!
