    Pepperoni flatbread (with one piece already eaten )
    Kathy N.

    No complaints. I had a quite good, cheesy pepperoni flatbread that was prepared pretty quickly. Lightly crisped on the edges. It could have had a little more pepperoni, but it was adequate and, hey, it's airport food. I rate accordingly.

    When I'm in Seattle, I crave clam chowder. Since I was just flying though, I didn't have many options but the reviews of this place seemed promising. Now, when I am in an airport, I used Yelp to try to find a place to eat. Sadly, I found the chowder here not at all too my liking. It was so thick it was like a paste and I only took a few bites and then tossed it. Service was very nice though. But in my quest for chowder, I'll skip this place next time.

    We stopped by before a flight out. I got banana bread and a chai latte and both were good. Hubby got a flatbread pepperoni pizza. That was a disaster. It took awhile to come out, and when it did it looked cooked but the bottom was still doughy, definitely undercooked. He let them know and they cooked it more, but, it still came out only slightly more done. At this point he just went ahead and ate it anyways. It's expensive, as you'd expect from an airport location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The small seating area was not clean at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was ok. If I did stop by again it would be for the bakery items only.

    Service was good. The staff is nice and polite. The food is completely lackluster especially for the price point. Caesar salad doesn't come with dressing unless you ask. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No plates? Only plastic cutlery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do not accept most priority pass and LoungeKey unlike advertised. At least panini was hot - salad was probably prepared weeks ago

    Pepperoni flatbread (about half of it)

    Grabbed a couple of delicious flat breads here on a short layover. We were pleasantly surprised. Have yet to have a good experience at any eatery in SeaTac and often prefer to pack a PB&J as opposed to eating in the airport. But we were on our way home, so no PB&J resources. So, I had a chicken pesto flatbread and hubs had pepperoni. Hot, fresh, fast, and served in a smaller rectangular pizza box that you could easily lug onto your next flight with you and make your seat mates jealous. Will def stop here again in C terminal. Happy travels!

    We ate at 3pm on a layover. We came for the priority pass perk, and we had no issues with pp. I wanted a shrimp poboy, but it was unavailable. They also had no appetizers available so I couldn't get fries. The salads are prepacked containers. We ended up getting a chicken chop salad, a chicken panini and sparkling water. The total came under the priority pass amount so we didn't have to pay anything. The salad ended up being mediocre, but was pretty fresh. The panini took a while to arrive, but was hot and tasted passable. The employees were nice, but the space wasn't well maintained with lots of random trash around. There was very limited seating.

    Clam chowder with extra pepper

    Priority pass members come here! Decent selection of items plus alcohol. There's salads, flat breads, soups, and more. I got a Caesar but unfortunately there was only 1 left and I gave it to my friend. It's not too far from gate C entrance area. Anyway, the chickpea chicken salad I got was actually very good! The clam chowder was also pretty good as well. Service was very friendly but it took a while for my chowder to come out. I would come back and use my priority pass again here!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese bagel ($12)

    Was craving a bagel while in the Seattle airport on a layover. Ninth and Pike was conveniently located in the Alaska terminal. There was a bit of a line, so clearly a popular spot, but our food came up quickly. They have a few different bagel breakfast options but only plain bagels to choose. Our food was hot and fresh upon receiving. They have a lot of other food options- mainly lunch/dinner. Lots of drink choices and tons of baked goods. Our server was very friendly.

    Grabbed some food before our flight. They do take Priority Pass at the time. Got the Crispy Calamari, Chicken Tenders, Grilled Cheese Panini and a Caesar salad. The calamari and tenders were ok, kids ate them on the plane. Grilled cheese panini and caesar salad was pretty bad, but it may not be the restaurants fault since we didn't have a chance to eat it until around 8 hours later.

    Definitely pricey and there's a wait for hot food but for airport food this place is pretty solid. I like their clam chowder, onion rings, and chicken panini. The clam chowder a little too thick (like it's almost like a stew or gravy). But it has a good amount of clams and other stuff so it's not just liquid soup which I like. The clam chowder, onion rings, and chicken panini are all a bit salty, but they're still tasty. I've also gotten their margherita pizza before and it was good. This time I also got their chocolate chip cookie which was solid. I wish they could've warmed it beforehand and I wish it was more crispy on the outside, but it was still good. In terms of the service, they are definitely on the slower side. So if you're in a rush I definitely would not order their hot foods, like the pizza. I do end up waiting here for a bit when I order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant itself feels like a classic cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very busy and small (which is the whole SeaTac airport to be honest), so although I did take out, I don't think I could've found a table if I ordered for here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But that's not really a problem with this restaurant. The whole SeaTac airport is always super busy and stuffed with people that it's always hard to find a table to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Crispy cauliflower, prosciutto flatbread
    Kyle W.

    This is one of the newer restaurants that I saw is in the Priority Pass system. My review is a culmination of 4 experiences here, 2 of which I did not try any of their food, but my most recent visits I finally got to. First time, I wanted to try this place out as their advertised hours were 6am - 11pm but they were completely closed by 10pm. Second time, same thing, I landed at 7pm and immediately tried to go to this place. Same thing, completely closed by 7:30pm. What? Third time, they ran out of flatbread and paninis completely at 3pm. That is like more than half the menu. So I got calamari and toasted ravioli so I don't starve in the flight. Calamari is decent but the toasted ravioli is a bit tasteless. Their marinara sauce is packaged sauce so somewhat on the lower quality. Fourth time, I finally got to try their flatbread. I got their prosciutto flatbread as well as crispy cauliflower (which on the receipt includes tartar sauce). Prosciutto flatbread is burnt and the toppings are not even correct. Diced ham is NOT the same as prosciutto as it was not even dry cured. The tomato sauce is way too sour. Crispy cauliflower did NOT come with tartar sauce as promised. The batter is also sour - I am so confused. Nowhere did they say there is some buffalo sauce mixed into the batter. The cauliflower is quite mushy inside so they are definitely not a fresh batch. As it is one of the current 3 priority pass restaurants, all of which have the $28 off anyways, I have options. I don't plan to return here unless I am catching a flight in the C terminal and in a rush, as the other 2 options are far better.

    I was apprehensive trying this place based on the reviews. Very small place and was crowded. The panini prosciutto and mozzarella were delicious. Would definitely come here if they had a retail restaurant. And service was great. Good selection of beer too. Eugene and Annie were wonderful! Apparently they are recent hires.

    Don't expect to be served if you choose to sit down. Do expect your food to come out in a pre packaged way. Service not very friendly.

    Horrible food. Pathetic service. Snarky help. Robbery prices for premade salty, mushy, tasteless turkey sandwich.

    Today wasn't the travel day I had planned. While on a work trip, I received some difficult news and…read morehad to cut the trip short and head home. Before my flight, I decided to stop at Salty's for breakfast. I'm a sucker for crab, but I wasn't especially hungry, so I ordered a cup of the chowder with crab. It turned out to be one of the best cups of chowder I've ever had--rich, flavorful, and loaded with crab. I sat at the bar, where Joyce took great care of me. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made an otherwise difficult day a little easier. Great service can make a real difference, and she absolutely delivered. Salty's isn't the cheapest dining option at SEA, but between the quality of the food, the relaxed atmosphere, and the outstanding service, I think it's well worth it. If you're looking for a great meal before your flight, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

Rich, loaded with clams, easily the best thing on the table. Fries were also solid. The halibut fish & chips ($46 for three pieces) was the letdown. The fish was over-fried to the point that it fell apart as I ate it -- disappointing for a fish of that quality at that price. Halibut should hold together in firm, flaky pieces; this didn't. But the real issue was the service. What made it impossible to write off as a busy day was that my server was attentive to the table right next to me -- she asked the gentleman beside me how his meal was and refilled his water, while mine sat clearly empty and I was never checked on once. No introduction, no recommendations, no plates cleared. When I asked for something as simple as pepper, I got attitude, like I was putting her out. I typically tip 25%. I left 15% and honestly felt that was generous for what I received. At these prices, the food needs to be executed properly and the service needs to match. The chowder alone isn't enough to carry a $60+ meal. Would I come back? Maybe for a cup of chowder at the bar. Not for the full experience.

    Extremely disappointing experiences at Le Grand Comptoir on two separate occasions…read more My first experience occurred when my flight was significantly delayed until late in the evening. The restaurant was still actively serving guests, with numerous people eating and drinking at the time. I politely asked the bartender for a simple soda water. Instead of offering any explanation, alternative, or basic courtesy, he immediately refused service. There was no effort to help, no kindness, and no acknowledgment that I was a stranded traveler dealing with a stressful delay. Several weeks later, I returned during normal business hours and unfortunately encountered the same employee. This time, I simply asked for a cup of ice. Once again, I was told no. He stated that he could not provide a cup and that I would need to sit as a customer before he would provide ice. When I asked what other options were available, none were offered. The interaction felt exactly like the first one: rigid, dismissive, and completely lacking in hospitality. Thankfully, the manager was present during my second visit. After taking some time to think about how I wanted to handle the situation, I obtained a cup elsewhere in the airport, filled it with ice, and returned to speak directly with her. She listened to my concerns, apologized, and was able to help immediately. That experience highlighted my main concern. The issue is not the ice. The issue is not the water. The issue is not even the policy. Businesses have policies, and I respect that. The issue is that it should not require a manager to fulfill a basic human need or to show basic human kindness. Travelers passing through airports are often exhausted, stressed, delayed, dehydrated, dealing with medical conditions, rushing between flights, or simply trying to make it through a difficult day. Hospitality matters in those moments. A simple explanation, a respectful response, or an effort to offer alternatives would have completely changed both interactions. What stood out most was the complete absence of empathy, hospitality, problem-solving, or customer care. Being told "no" is one thing. Being treated as though your reasonable request is an inconvenience is another. I am genuinely surprised that after so many reviews mentioning service concerns, management has not been more successful in addressing the underlying customer-service issues. Looking through the reviews, it is clear that I am not the only customer who has left feeling disappointed. I appreciate the manager taking the time to listen and assist me, and she deserves credit for handling the situation professionally. Unfortunately, the fact that management intervention was required at all is precisely why I am leaving this review. You should not have to seek out a manager over something as simple as a cup of ice or a glass of water. Humanity can do better than this. Airport hospitality can do better than this. And travelers deserve better than this.
