    Clam chowder
    Steve Z.

    Nice place to rest in between flights. Soft music instead of the usual mayhem. Food is very pricey but the quality is decent. The clam chowder is exceptional and features huge chunk of real Dungeness crab meat. The vegetarian frittata is sublime with two types of mushrooms and Guyere cheese. Taking away a star because of the ordering system which is QR code based, confusing, and without the warmth of human interaction and dialog. The food and quiet ambiance make this stop enjoyable despite its SEATAC location. Mahalo for reading my review.

    Service was great from Katherine ! Fast and friendly . We were are limited time fort our flight . They delivered quickly and with drinks . I really enjoyed my French dip sandwich. Decor was contemporary. And close to our gate. Chardonnay was a local goose ridge brand And mint pineapple sparkling

    It's pretty basic airport food. They have a pretty good wine selection and the foods are limited to soup appetizers and sandwiches. The flavor of the sandwich is good. But I wish they have some more options for sides, other than just chips

    Grilled cheese

    It was just OK. Disappointing actually given the restaurant in Seattle. They get their bread and she is just from a big commissary, nothing local or special about that. After cheese was out of one of the half of sandwiches Princess the server did a fine job. Not a lot of seating. Just a big box to take your chips with you. I did ask for a piece of cake to keep it close which they did provide. Thank you.

    Wow, what a difference a few years make. the idea is the you sit at an open table, then i use a qr code to orders. well, the didn't work. the staff was available and i got some food ordered, i have a random food allergy that won't kill me, but i try to avoid. i ordered the only thing on the menu with out it listed as an ingredient, steak and egg sandwich. needless to say, it was there. not a big thing, but free things here if you have a dairy allergy. the sandwich was satisfactory, but not great. the ambiance is nice, not too crowded. probably because they don't list their prices in the menus posted at the entrance. the prices are comparable to others in the concourse. i didn't see the option for a wine tasting flight, that would have been fun.

    Had breakfast here. Decent nothing amazing. Cheese, charcuterie plus a B+ grade croissant. Service was excellent. Prices were airport level high.

    Seems like a second hand salad that wasn't served with someone else's meal from a place like Red Lobster. Only lettuce, croutons, mayo salad dressing, and 1/2 serving of chicken from the homeless shelter.

    It took me only 4 years to find out Le Grand Bistro Americain in Kirkland opened an airport outlet. Was Ted keeping it a secret? Based on reviews here it seems he was pretty hands off about the staffing. Hospitality at an airport will never be the same thing. The logistics, criteria and systems are completely different. I always bring down expectation to nearly zero. On that basis and all things Airport being equal, this boite is pretty good.

    Vegetable Frittata
    Holly T.

    We ate here recently while on a layover and were quite impressed with both the food and service. My husband had the grilled cheese and I the vegetable frittata. The frittata was a delicious, airy mix of mushrooms, onion, and spinach served on a bed of arugula. The grilled cheese was, well, cheesy and much to my husband's satisfaction. The wine list was sufficiently varied; service was prompt and friendly. Prices were reasonable for some of the best airport food we've had.

    Ambiance was very nice, as was the service. The food was subpar and expensive, and the wine was nothing I would want to drink again.

There will be two specials that change often so something new all the time. Very highly recommended!

The place is small and located in a strip mall, but step inside and you will feel like you're at a fancy restaurant in Paris. The wine list is extensive, the service is attentive and professional. The food is delicious. I had the Duck special, that came with a special sauce and delicious crispy skin. My wife had the Tagliatelle w/ Saffron Cream Sauce & White Prawns. We both loved our meals. For desert we shared these small, what look like cream puffs with chocolate sauce but are filled with vanilla ice cream! This is a great spot for a date night. They don't do breakfasts or lunches, just dinner,, i recommend you make reservations as this small restaurant is often packed. There is also a small bar you can sit at first come, but I recommend the sit down experience and you will feel like you are at a restaurant that costs twice as much. This place checks all the boxes. So five stars! Cheers!

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

    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.
