    Flat bread Pizza
    William W.

    This is the experience we had with Aqua Terra inside the Seattle Airport Marriott hotel. It is located in the hotel to the left area after entering the double doors of the entrance. Ambience is always amazing; somewhat quiet but with a bit of small chatters. For dinner we ordered Wagyu beef sliders, Brussels sprouts, Flat break pizza; all amazing, and so is the dessert lava cake with vanilla icecream. For breakfast we ordered BYO omelette, Smoked Salmon Benny w/ fruits, and Belgian Waffles. All delicious. We'd especially like to recommend the waiters; Vince and Otis G. Vince served us dinner and not only was he knowledgeable with menu items, he recommended the exact amount we needed, was attentive, friendly and courteous until even when the restaurant was about to close. Otis served us breakfast the next morning; he was also friendly, attentive and recommended the perfect menu items for us to enjoy. It is rare that a restaurant has both amazing food plus outstanding services; and this one definitely earned our hearts. Because of the amazing services by Vince & Otis, plus the amazing food items, we will continue to return to Aqua Terra as well as the Seattle Airport Marriott hotel. Money well spent. Keep up the good work!

    Burger and fries, hit the spot and well made

    This restaurant/bar is inside the Seattle Airport Marriott. Loved that I could order a late dinner after my plane landed and had a fresh, well made burger and fries in 10 minutes and near their closing time. Thank you so so much. The last thing I wanted to do was deal with finding a decent place open late and did not want fast food. Took a cheesecake to go so they could close up shop as there was only 1 other table dining and a couple guys at the bar when I left. Stellar waitress refreshed my drink and checked on me often besides that. Thank you!

    Returned from trip to SeaTac Airport and stopped in for a meal while waiting for freeway rush hour traffic to subside. This hidden away Seatac restaurant is was a nice experience. Located in the Seattle Airport Marriott with a lounge bar next to the lobby Ordered a Burger and side salad, and their Woodford Old Fashion. The waiter Phillip was really professional. Place was quiet and relaxing. Interesting wood structure throughout the interior of the Hotel despite its not so interesting exterior. Other staff were great. The hamburger was fantastic!! With the Old Fashion, the flavors of both come together harmoniously. Would recommend a visit if you need a place to chill before heading to where ever you may be going to or from the airport.

    Wings

    I was in the hotel for the night and needed some bar food to watch the game. Started with a salad with apples and walnuts and finished with wings. The salad was great but a bit over dressed. The wings were awesome! Sweet and spicy and super crispy which is my favorite. The bartender was very engaging and happy to give opinions about my choices. He was right on the mark!

    This is the only restaurant available for lunch at the SeaTac Marriott. The seating atmosphere is very causal, more of an open bar lounge look. Food is priced reasonable, and the service was pretty good. Pictured is the club sandwich with real turkey meat, not processed. You have the choice of high tables, low tables, or bar seating. There are plenty of TV screens to keep you interested while you eat your food.

    Wagyu burger

    The furniture is torture; if you aren't at the bar demand free shot. The food menu is okay. I got sick off the clam chowder. The wagyu burger was very good. The prices are nuts. Its a typical overpriced hotel grill.

    This was almost the perfect cap of to my "stay" in Seattle. I decided to dine at the hotel vice at the airport prior to my flight. It took a few minutes for them to seat me and begin service,but once they did it, was seamless. I had the calimari and it was delicious. I wanted a bit more food but not a full entree, so I got the Caesar salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection, but lacked flavor and had 3 bones. Overall a great meal and awesome service. I usual stick to the Marriott brand and their restaurants and I was not disappointed.

    What's under the cheap polyester seat covers.
    Kate T.

    The food is mediocre and everything else about this place is awful. They're WAY understaffed, but at the point where your restaurant literally has only one waiter, you close. You don't leave tables waiting literally two hours between ordering and receiving their luke-warm food. When your chairs are cracked and broken vinyl, you replace them, you don't just put cheap polyester covers over them. And if you're going to charge prices that are ridiculously high even for an airport hotel, maybe have food that's better than mediocre.

    This place wasn't bad but the service wasn't good at all when we were here on Saturday night about 8p never got a refill on my glass of water or our drinks hopefully is was just a bad night lol The Kobe burger not bad

    sad sad calamari
    Kiara R.

    menu sounds great. the food is eh. I ordered the calamari and the crab chowder. save yourself the disappointment. the calamari came out as scraps and also happens to be served with black olives and peppers which is not stated on the menu. the crab chowder was okay. it was served as a scoop of crab meat (which was cold) on top of chowder.

We came by after happy hour at Anthony's and listened to a live set of great music. The place was packed, but everyone is friendly and was willing to share their table with us. We had a great time and I strongly recommend coming by the Quarterdeck to chill and listen to live music. Can't believe it took me 20 years of living in Seattle to find this place. So, don't repeat my mistake.

    Quarterdeck is what I like to call a "come for the vibes, stay for the drinks, eat... somewhere…read moreelse" kind of place. I stopped by while visiting Seattle and while the food situation was a bit chaotic (they had rotating menus because they were out of a few items), I ended up ordering a kimchi-inspired sandwich that I wanted to love...but it just didn't do it for me. Not inedible, maybe a 2/5, but I'd definitely try something else next time. My friend ordered what I think was the Garden Harvest Wrap (a staple on the menu), and that was more of a 3/5. Both dishes were served cold (intentionally), which I think made a difference, I could totally see them being much better if they were warm. Now let's talk about what is worth it: the mimosa flight. SO good. Like dangerously easy to sit there, sip through all of them, and forget any minor food disappointments. But honestly, the real star here is the ambiance. You're right on the water with the most effortless, breezy, coastal energy. Boats drifting by, sun hitting just right, people lingering over drinks--it's giving main character energy in the best way. I found myself wanting to stay way longer than planned and even doing some work while there. This is absolutely a spot I'd come back to, just with a strategy: eat before or after, and come here to sip, sit by the water, and take a little walk on the dock. 5 stars for the vibes alone

Asked for the dessert menu twice and all other food came very quickly (NICE) but the dessert was the slowest. We will come back and try this place again. The food was sooo good.

    UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.

First off, the staff were very nice and friendly, one very redeeming trait. This is a small restaurant in a hotel. There IS NO PARKING unless you pay the hotel $25 for the day. The hours are severely limited to 4 hours in the morning for breakfast and 4 hours in the evening for dinner. The menu is also severely limited and amazingly overpriced. I had the regular burger with fries. It was $20. The burger came unseasoned and bland on a sesame seed bun. The lettuce, tomatoes and onion were cool and seemed fresh. The fries came out hot but seemed almost stale with hardly any crisp. They were also bland with no seasonings or salt. The Mrs had the potstickers which they called dumplings. These were tastier than the bland burger, but again, these prices.... Honestly, you can get a burger, fries and a coke at McDonald's that tastes better and cost way less than the $25 I spent on my burger here. (The single glass of coke was $5) This combined with the hotel review has taught me to stay outside of the city from now on where prices and gouging doesn't hit so hard.
