    Mother's Day Brunch was extremely disappointing. Cold, mushy food for $30? No thanks!

    A perfect place for listening to live music, seated in some lawn chairs sipping some wine, beer or…read moresparkle. 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

    Great family owned gem in Des Moines. Wines, cheese, charcuterie, scratch kitchen and cocktails…read more So sad to see it close.

    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.

When we arrived, there were only five locals sitting at the bar and Darnel tending bar. We grabbed a couple of seats, and before long we were all cheering on the game together like old friends. Darnel was incredible. He was bartending, cooking serving the food, and keeping everyone happy, all with a smile. The food was excellent, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and genuine. What started as a backup plan turned into one of the highlights of our Seattle trip. Meeting the locals and spending the evening at JJ's gave us an authentic Seattle experience we'll never forget. If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood bar with great food, drinks, and even better people, don't miss JJ's. Thank you, Darnel, for making visitors from Florida feel right at home!

Waterland Arcade is one of them. Certainly not the largest venue and they have quite a mix of video arcade games as well. Everything that I played on worked as expected. Not every arcade can make that claim. What was really cool besides the games were the people who worked there. Friendly, laid-back and willing to answer questions. My wife didn't but sat outside the building at a table and chair with the dog. We were meeting friends for dinner somewhat nearby, so I had a couple of hours to work out some energy. I had originally intended to spend some time in Hillsboro, Oregon at a major arcade but failed to note that they were closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I wasn't able to get my fix in. The admission fee is a quite reasonable $16 per person age 14 and over. I am a first responder and appreciated the 10% discount on admission and drinks. Military members, Nurses and Teachers also receive the same discount. They claim to offer over 40 ice cold craft beers and ciders, but I was happy with my Diet Coke.
