This is a 1st....our waiter, who took our order 40 minutes ago, just asked us if we had gotten our food yet. Spoiler alert, we haven't. I've never actually entered a review while still in a restaurant, but I'm hoping this helps someone in the future. Absolutely pitiful. We'll see what happens when I'm presented with the mandatory 20% service charge. read more

I dropped in here on St. Patrick's Day for a dinner away from the crowds down by the waterfront. It's marked as a Brazilian style restaurant, and I think they have a few things that go pretty well, but overall was disappointed with the food. Server was great, and the service was also prompt, ambience of the place is upscale and nice. The food could be outstanding but honestly, it fell a bit flat and we had to send back one dish that just missed the mark. The attitude in the restaurant was all positive and the servers were very accommodating when we asked for some changes. I hope they can work out the recipes to be a bit better and measure up to the downtown standard. read more

Came here with a friend during lunch for SRW. We had made a reservation, but there were plenty of open tables and we were seated at a nice large booth even though it was just the two of us. I ordered the Smoked Lamb Empanada, my friend got the Smoked Beet appetizer, and we both ordered the flank steak as the main course. FOOD: Smoked Lamb Empanada - I liked this a lot! It comes with a small green salad which is a nice touch. The empanada itself isn't huge, but also not tiny. I didn't get the gruyere, but the lamb and potato mixture was tasty enough, especially with their house made chimichurri sauce. The crust is more of a tender dough rather than thin or crispy, which I actually like personally. Smoked Beets - my friend enjoyed this. I tried a bite and thought it had really nice flavors, especially with the pine nuts and the citrus. Flank "Vacio" - my friend thought hers was a bit chewy, but I was happy with mine. Nice portion size. It comes with the same house made chimichurri sauce as the empanada, which is good since I like the sauce (but also a bit repetitive). I'm not sure if you are supposed to eat the green onion, but it is a bit hard to cut. The potatoes come on the side which is nice for keeping them crispy. Could use a bit more salt (which was at the table) SERVICE: Very friendly and professional service. When I was finished with my appetizer, I had left my fork on the plate. The server brought that away and then brought out a new fork for my entree. My friend had left her silverware on the table, and they left her silverware and just took her plate away. So, I would say that's a nice level of "flexible fancy" service :) read more

Either the world's slowest bartender or the fastest line cook works here. Order a drink - wait - then order the food. A cute hotel lobby restaurant with a great kitchen (except for the carbonara which is hit or miss - can be jammed and a block of cold pasta or just fantastic. Great prices, they give residents a break. Nice overall but for travelers, the worst tip policy, classic democrat Seattle. Hit with 20% the moment you cross the door. read more

Chicharronws looked cool but have had better. Skirt steak was surprisingly good and so was the side of broccoli which expected to be very basic. My favorite was the cresta pasta that tasted so satisfying but decadent and rich. I enjoyed my eight day drink, so much more than the one at rider and it was only $6!! Bread costs extra (only$1.50) and wouldn't recommend it. read more

To be frank, the food was appalling. I only ate a couple of bites before trashing the rest. Patagon is a restaurant inside The Charter Hotel Seattle with a limited breakfast menu. Orders are placed at the bar counter. ----- Breakfast Sandwich: eggs, breakfast sausage, cheddar, sweet pepper relish ($14). Everything was utterly greasy and overdone, especially the potatoes. The egg yolk was a bit soft but not runny. ----- Housemade Lox: everything bagel, cream cheese, red onion ($13). My brother liked it. That being said, it's hard to mess this up unless you burn the bagel from toasting it too long. ----- It was rather confusing figuring out exactly when this restaurant was open. Online says this place is temporarily closed. When checking-in to the hotel, the staff informed us it was open only on weekends for breakfast. But the following morning on Monday we found it running take-out service. Note that an additional 20% service charge gets applied. If a Hilton Diamond Member, the $25 dining credit can be spent here. read more

I ordered steel cut oats with hazelnuts, and they served my dish with no hazelnuts. The server did not come around to ask how our dishes were, so I never had an opportunity to let them know. My water glass was empty and stayed that way because, again, there was no service. They automatically impose a 20% gratuity, so whether they provide stellar service or poor service, they still get the same tip. Why would they even try? Disappointing. read more

I dined here during a work trip and everything was fantastic. A bit on the pricey side for what it is though imo.

While the food was not bad, but I cannot help but raise awareness to the gross overcharge that took place at the Bar. I was asked by my wife to buy a bottle of wine and take it back to the room. When I ordered, I received a rather large bill of $670 for a hamburger, 3 glasses of wine and then the bottle of wine. I figured my wife was splurging for a nice bottle and didn't ask any questions. When I got back to the room I looked at the menu and realized I was charged $498 for a $78 bottle of wine. No harm, I will go downstairs in the morning and get it credited, right? Wrong, it has now been 6 weeks with ZERO correspondence from their team, could not obtain detailed bill, I called around 10 times to get through to accounting... NOTHING. To the point I had to dispute via my American Express. Absolutely HORRIFIC guest service follow up on an issue they were at fault for. Unfortunate to see. read more

Patagōn - Flat Iron Hen and Foraged Mushrooms with Chorizo. - Argentine Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Patagon is the first floor restaurant inside The Charter Hotel in downtown Seattle. As a guest of the hotel, you get free coffee and water. If you're a Hilton Diamond Member, you get daily food credit to spend here. The menu has several breakfast options including French toast and a breakfast sandwich. We got our food quickly, but service itself was unattentive and the food wasn't great. My potatoes were overcooked as was the sausage. read more

This place is terrible. Bartender told our party of 8 to "keep it down" @ 7pm. We all left immediately. Shame on this establishment and the bartender. You just left a lot of money on the table and I won't even address his mask situation. read more

Nice place. I ordered oatmeal and tea for breakfast. The oatmeal and tea where not very warm and the oatmeal had a huge lump in it. I asked for a new oatmeal and the second one came the same. I asked for a third oatmeal and it came out with a lump about the size of a half dollar and it was just lukewarm, the waitress had left so fast I didn't get to try it and it took some time to get her attention. I ordered scrambled eggs and toast, I got charged for an extra egg but not the oatmeal. $20 for a very poor breakfast and service. I would not recommend. read more

Had dinner here before a show at the Moore. Surprisingly few restaurants right in the area. We ordered shrimp and smoked (this should have been a red flag) ceviche. $19 for small amount of pre-cooked shrimp and scallops with ZERO flavor. A few tomato's and parsley were also present but added no flavor. Won tons it was served with were ok. Burger was good, truffle fries great, hen and mushroom risotto mostly bones and very little flavor. Really expected more for the prices. Will not return, although our server was good. read more

Happened upon this restaurant by accident. Glad we did. Breakfast was amazing. What about that butter? Damn! Excellent service delivered by Mary. She was working very hard. They all were.

This is a hotel restaurant but the food is good enough to draw those in town. I'd prefer not have fish for breakfast so the chef replaced the salmon with ham in my Eggs Benedict. It was very good but I'd caution not salting anything before tasting. The ham was very salty (country ham?) but worked with the layer of spinach, the richness of the eggs, and the pillow of muffin. read more

**SRW Review** My friends and I came in for dinner for Seattle Restaurant Week and I must say, our dining experience was quite pleasant! Gorgeous restaurant! Such an intimate setting. Definitely a great place for date night. Fantastic food! Better than I expected. I got the Smoked Lamb Empanada, Top Sirloin, and the chocolate mousse Lamb empanada - Really enjoyed the filling and the chimichurri sauce. Comes with a small salad. Top Sirloin - Prepared and cooked perfectly. You get a great portion. Also comes with chimichurri and fingerling potatoes, which were delicious as well. Chocolate mousse - It was alright. A tad too bitter for my taste. Really liked the hazelnut and oranges topped on there. I also tried the Alajores cookies served with Spanish chocolate, which were delectable. Service was excellent. Very attentive in making sure everything was going well but not constantly checking up on us. read more

Unfortunately inconsistency is the only thing consistent at this place. Since I stayed at the hotel, I tried this place for breakfast. Between the two of us, we've pretty much had everything on their brunch menu (which was the same during the week and weekend). Having seen their breakfast menu on the website, I definitely would've liked to try a couple of things from there. I'll start off with the good. Their Smoked lamb hash was really good. The short rib Benedict, after a few tweaks was the second in line. Prosciutto and salmon toasts were after that. Omelette was decent, but nothing special. Their Braised lamb empanada was mediocre at best. For some reason the meat was dry, while the crust and breading was way overcooked. The not so good, is unfortunately the service. I really wish they didn't automatically add in a 20% tip, without anyone actually having to do anything to earn that. The service was some of the worst I've had. We constantly were out of coffee, water and they didn't come around often enough. The plate setting never had a spoon for some reason, which comes in handy if you're wanting tea, or coffee. At least there was a knife there, so I could adjust. Aside from that, the staff seemed to be a little down, not friendly, helpful, or very talkative. I don't know if they're over worked, party too hard, don't enjoy their job, short staffed, or what the real issue is, but this was some of the worst service I've had... In a while... The bad, I saw some posts about the random bugs running around the restaurant. According to one of the waitresses, apparently, they had raw wood laying around, for the smoker. Well, there were insects in there, which got out and around the restaurant. At first, when I saw one on my shoulder, I thought it was a fly, which it was not...The funny thing was, once I threw it off my shoulder, one of the waitresses saw it. Although she didn't make eye contact at first, she was looking right at the insect, then saw that I was looking in her direction, while she was looking at the insect and then looked away immediately. Nothing was said, or done and I guess we just pretended the whole thing never happened.... Since I stayed at the hotel, I opted in for the credits towards breakfast during my stay, instead of the extra points. After reading some of the reviews, I figured it would work out great and knock out one of the meals as a sure thing. I really wish they didn't force you to give a mandatory, automatic tip, when one wasn't earned or deserved, but the more you know... read more

Patagōn - A shot of the kitchen. That looks pretty amazing to me!!! - Argentine Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were very much looking forward to coming here for lunch, but unfortunately, things fell short. Let's start with the good - the interior design and layout of the restaurant is beautiful and tastefully designed. I like the mid-century modern and retro vibe, as well as the wall decor. The location of the kitchen/grill is great being front and center as you enter from the hotel; a nice feature reflective of the cuisine. Food presentation was pretty good. Getting into the not so great - the food was disappointing on all levels: aside from the presentation being refined, the taste and quality were lackluster. We ordered the empanadas ($16 for 2, an additional $4 for the third), and short rib ($22 with 1 side). The empanada pastry was not crispy and even the pleating detail was non-existent. The fillings weren't bad, but out of the 3, the apricot/goat cheese/onion jam was the only one that was unique and well-executed. The others were too salty and lacked dimension and depth in flavor. The salad that accompanied it wasn't memorable. The biggest disappointment was the short rib, as most of it was inedible due to the large fat content. The portion size was dismal for the price, but we would be okay with it if there were actual quality cuts of meat, not fat. We ended up having very little to eat, and for $22, it was surprising to see this. You have a choice of 1 side, and we chose the wood roasted broccoli. Literally only 3 florets of broccoli came out and it wasn't roasted enough to bring out the nutty flavor that we love about broccoli. Service was aloof and not very engaging, and we were the only ones there at lunch time. Also be aware that they do include a 20% service charge on your bill. Overall, the decor is nice, but the attempt at this cuisine was a total miss for us, so we probably won't be back. Perhaps they are experiencing growing pains being a new restaurant, but I have a hard time justifying the close to $70 tab for lunch (with the service charge) and still feeling hungry. read more

Where else can you eat dinner while watching a lamb carcass being sliced in front of you? OK, that sounds nasty, but it's amazingly delicious (and fun, we did start identifying the body parts). My dinner was a massive amount of lamb from the carcass' rear leg, with a side of grilled baby eggplants and chimichurri sauce. YUMMY. My friend rightly asked if they did half serves of the meat dishes. They don't but suggested a box to have the leftovers for breakfast (I'm saving them for dinner tonight). That same friend had the full serve of the Cresta de Gallo pasta with its grilled short rib, peas, black truffle, pecorino romano deliciousness. I "stole" a taste and definitely want it for next time. The service was friendly and prompt. The place wasn't full, but it's new so I'm sure that'll change as more know about it. read more

Decided to book a Sunday brunch reservation at Patagon based off of recommendations for the Fog Room - a rooftop bar in the same hotel. Thought the vibe and food would be similar; so, why not? When we walked in, the restaurant was completely empty. A group was finishing up in a corner booth and walking out. Normally I would have just turned around, but decided to give it a chance because of how new the venue is. Quick-and-dirty: Mediocre service and food, bland cocktails, big-box "ambiance," limited (not curated) menu. Long-and-scary: First off, this place has the *literal worst* bloody mary that I've ever had. Vodka, tomato mix, and water. Yuck! Second, we noticed there were bugs everywhere once we sat down. They were black and yellow like bees, but without wings. And I should have left at that moment! But I have weird insecurities about leaving an empty restaurant with bugs and weak cocktails--like, the waitstaff will be devastated if I left, or something. This is how I get into awkward dining experiences ... but, I digress. Fast forward to the end of the meal when I feel something on my leg. Not ON my leg, but BETWEEN my leg and my denim. I freaked out, jumped up, and started swatting my pants until a crumpled bee-like insect fell out onto the floor at the *exact* moment our waitress was bringing us the check. Her response? "Oh, yeah, we've had some bug issues since our last wood delivery." And then she left, without apologizing or comping a cocktail or offering anything resembling customer service. So we paid our bill--$116 for spice-less avocado toast, Eggs Benedict, and an Americano breakfast--including the *mandatory 20%* service charge and walked out. Attaching a copy of the bee-like insect in hopes that someone may be able to identify. read more

What a great new spot! Came here on a whim, and couldn't have had a better night. Only three weeks in, and this place is running pretty nicely. Always a little hesitant to go to hotel restaurants, but Patagon has a great vibe and a delightful staff. Grabbed some seats facing the open kitchen - so fun to watch the chefs work, centered on its wood burning grill that seemed to touch so many dishes. The actual bar with a number of TVs wouldn't have been bad either. Food - Looking forward to trying more of the menu, but happy with the choices on my first trip. Immediately gravitated to the short rib option. Saw one go out and was hooked. Absolutely giant. The chef stopped by and described it - 48-hour sous vide and finished on the grill. Came out perfect. Finished simply with some grilled green onions (which we asked for more). Can't wait to try some other meats, but I'll have a hard time not getting this again. The grilled meats also come with a side, which was a nice touch. Salty and crispy papas fingerlings were great, and they provided assume aioli to dip. Debated an app, but half orders of pastas were an option, and their crab agnolotti did not disappoint. Was expecting a creamy dish as the description mentioned ricotta, but they were rustic and finished with charred corn - yum! Cocktails - Super excited to see pisco on the cocktail list, and the pisco sour was delicious, even if it surprisingly wasn't finished with bitters. Service - The host was great and checked in at the end of the meal. Seemed excited and invested in the new restaurant. Sitting by the kitchen, we got to talk to the chef several times and was great to get a sense of his passion. Local Seattle guy and so nice. Waiter did a fine job overall, though there were a couple of lulls before ordering and after food came out. Not a big deal, but was especially noticeable when getting the check took a surprisingly long time. Overall, looking forward to trying more on that menu and seeing this restaurant mature, though you wouldn't know they were so new just coming of the streets. read more

We went for breakfast, and while the service is great the food was pretty lacking for the price. I ordered shakshuka, a dish where eggs are cooked in spiced tomato sauce. But theirs has poached eggs on top (see picture) and with the potatoes also obviously thrown in after, nothing but the few bell pepper slices actually gains the taste of the spices. It was also INCREDIBLY SMALL for $15- I generally don't complain about dish size but for breakfast you shouldn't be leaving hungry- I had to eat my emergency granola bar afterwards. Husband got a chorizo muffin which was definitely slightly better in size along with a pile of potatoes. They have a 20% gratuity fee already put on, which means you're getting taxed for it too... very annoying. Two measly breakfast plates and coffee totaled to over $50. read more

My friends got me the PNW greens salad with shrimp to go. The salad was crisp, delicious and had a really tasty, bright and slightly sweet avocado dressing. The smoked green olives and pickled mustard seeds were awesome. I don't know how the shrimp were because they forgot to add them and we didn't notice it until I came home to eat it So that's disappointing. Is there anything worse then getting home and realizing part of your order is missing! My friends also had the Gaucho salad and a sirloin steak which they really liked! They were there for lunch and were the only party but service felt pretty slow. 3 stars - good food, slow service and forgot the shrimp I bet the service will speed up as the place hits its stride though. read more

I've been to Patagon a couple of times: once for HH, another occasion is lunch with a friend closely familiar with Argentinian cuisine who approved the menu choices and taste. It's a great spot for those who are in the mood for meat The atmosphere is nice & quiet (probably, for not too long as people will start discovering the new places in the area). The reason for 3 star review is the quality of service: a) the waiter didn't have sufficient knowledge about the ingredients and how the food is made and b) for an empty place, they had decent number of waiters who obviously were more interested chatting rather than brining our meals. None of them paid any attention to our order which was standing at the kitchen for a while. We had to go and pick it up ourselves. What's more is that they put 20% service fee by default. "Amazing" value! read more
