    Margarita, tequila soda
    uma p.

    Love this place! Amazing drinks, and the food is also very good. Would highly recommend this place for a marg on the weekends.

    I think this is the new seedy bar of this generation. It's like a nice upgraded trendy seedy bar. I think the cocktail i ordered was a squirter with tequila and lime. Reminds me of corona with lime except margaritas version lol. The waiter was friendly. This is somewhere I would come if I just want to have a drink and be left alone.

    Good vibes, and pretty good food! I had heard great things about this place and finally got the chance to try it. We came on a rainy Thursday evening right before the end of happy hour, and were able to still order off that menu in time. I got the chicken nachos, and our table got the quesadilla, mango habanero wings, and the ultimate margarita. The happy hour deals are so worth it! The nachos were great -- the chicken was super well seasoned, toppings were plentiful, and they used queso which I actually enjoyed despite not being a huge fan of cheese. I'd come back for the happy hour deals and ambiance. Its a nice place!

    HH wings. Mango habeñero.

    Such a fun and cute spot! Met my friend here for HH and to catch up on work and life. Wasn't crowded when we arrived but def filled up as we were leaving. Our server was so cute and always checked in when walking around. I ordered mango habeñero wings and he got ceviche since he just had his ortho visit. Couldn't really eat anything too hard. My wings were tender and very flavorful. Wasn't spicy but that's okay. Drinks were on the stronger side. Will probably be back in the future as it's only a few min away from the office.

    Chips and salsa aguacate (would not recommend this as it was a bit watery, get a different salsa)
    Neha N.

    This is a spot I didn't know about til recently! Their crispy curly fries with chipotle aioli are to die for. Our group devoured like four servings. Would definitely recommend! Tough seating though if going with group of more than 4.

    Curly fries with cheese
    Sindu K.

    A decent spot for spending time. We visited during happy hour. My friends enjoyed the potent drinks. The food was passable, though the curly fries arrived cold and soggy. The service was satisfactory too. However, one disappointment was paying for a jukebox song that was abruptly cut off after just 5 seconds. I wouldn't consider returning to this place in the future.

    Pretty good Mexican restaurant! We love mexican food and had stumbled upon La Josie's. The atmosphere is pretty lively, with loud music and an overall fun vibe. I had the chicken tortilla soup and a couple of tacos, and they were all very tasty. If you have a big appetite, note that they tacos are street tacos, meaning, they are smaller. So order more and try a few extra tacos. Our server was prompt and attentive, and really nice. I really enjoyed my dining experience at La Josie's. BATHROOM REVIEW: The bathroom had an interesting purple hue. Everything was in working order. They have one of those dual flush systems. One for #1, other for #2. Sit or squat? Squat.

    La Josie's Seattle appears to have opened right around the beginning of the pandemic. Its been a year dishing up Mexican favorites and cocktails , but they're still going strong, With most restaurants opening up again at 25% capacity its been interesting which place would meet our needs of physical distancing/ barriers following the strict COVID restrictions and our own need for personal safety from others. They do have a small outdoor patio section as well as indoor booths that are separated by plexiglass. Now for the food, we ordered: Chimichanga (chicken) $11 Quesadilla (Carne Asada) $8 Coquito (a coconut cocktail with rum and allspice) $8 The Carne Asada Quesadilla was amazing! the meat was grilled and had a slight char on it. Combine it with melted cheese sandwiched between a tortilla shell and you got magic! The Chimichanga was stuffed to the brim with braised chicken. But the flavours of everything let me wanting the chimichanga to be stuffed with the Carne Asada instead. The Coquito was a nice creamy drink and perfect for a light weight like myself. If your looking for something with more of a punch then they have a large booze menu for you to try. Keep up the great work La Josie's! Can't wait to try the other items on your menu!

    Chimichanga
    Yaminee P.

    La Josie's is such a fun spot in cap hill! They have great happy hour deals and I really loved the veggie chimichanga I got! I thought $11 was pretty reasonable for the portion as well. We also got nachos and tacos which were also delicious. The servers were also very kind and chill, I appreciated their check ins.

    Food, was well seasoned and tasty. Service could have been more helpful, server would not give suggestions just stated "everything is good".

    Good food and drinks, a little on the rich/cheese-heavy side. Nachos had a queso rather than melted cheese which was a unique twist.

    Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

It's not stressful and the appointments ensure you have space for your enjoyment. The bar masters are experts. They make amazing drinks. The creativity of the menu and the staff is worth a stop.

The blow your mind moment is the pricing relative to most other boutique cocktail lounges or a place like Cannon that seems to just look to drain your bank account.

We arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait for our seats to be ready as the other party was still there. It's quite small on the inside, and I think it only seats maybe 16 people at max? Either way, we had a great time. You get a small cup of champagne while you wait/once you are seated. We each tried two drinks, and honestly everything was great. My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!

    Lol "interesting" experience…read more I came around 1030 after work, to meet a friend I work in kitchens. I'm wearing all black. Nonslip Docs. Backpack. Probably smell lol Lobby guy was nice. He says "I'll buzz you up." I waited in the elevator for a while. After like 3-5 real minutes I walk into the lobby and text my friend. "I ain't coming. I'm not fancy enough apparently" In that time, the Clerk noticed me. Apologies Profusely. I got up. Friends were really happy. Service was very nice and accommodating.

We arrived around 5:00 PM and were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable mixologist. While looking over the menu, he asked what I typically enjoy drinking. I told him I'm a big fan of an Old Fashioned, and he suggested an Eagle Rare Old Fashioned. It was, without question, one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had at any establishment. The balance of flavors was outstanding, and the attention to detail was obvious from the first sip. I was so impressed by both the drink and the overall experience that I asked him how he made it and what ingredients he used so I could try to recreate it at home. While I'm probably only 90% of the way there, I'll never quite match the perfection he achieved that evening. The atmosphere, service, and cocktails were all exceptional. If you're looking for a great speakeasy experience in Seattle, I highly recommend checking this place out.
