I came on a lovely early summer day and it was very sunny. I got a seat out under the sun, but it proved to be way too sunny, because by the time I finished my beer and truffle fries, I was more than ready to go inside. It was odd the day I came as it was early evening and there weren't that many people here but seems all the shaded seats were already reserved, so any walk ins coming in were shown to pretty sunny table tops. There was a 4 top that sat next to me and a French speaking table and a little half way into their drinks, they just moved to the shaded area, but saw that waitstaff told them they could only stay for a little bit. Wow. I also ordered some truffle fries and gosh the price tag for that was close to $20! Wow, inflation is seriously a problem! Really great views on a nice day in Seattle. I'd definitely come back, but know to reserve a spot in the shade next time.

Have enough staff Ok fine whatever Then we asked if we could be sat so we could watch the game and whenever the servers/and or kitchen could catch up and take our order She said "absolutely not!" She was extremely rude I then asked could we be sat where we could see the game? She said "we can't guarantee that" in a super snotty tone The restaurant was basically empty They finally sat us 20 minutes later after she pulled the same thing with 5 other parties that walked in and asked the same thing and were met with the same attitude They literally had 2 people at the host stand standing g around doing nothing but telling people no The server was extremely nice and the bartenders were getting drinks out really quick and helping with the food running.. We got our food an hour later (we ordered sliders and fries and I ordered a watermelon burrata salad that was tiny and $25 The food was way overpriced and the attitude of the hostesses this was a horrible experience Also don't advertise that you are hosting watch parties and then not have the staff to support The food is also really over priced We got sliders, fries, a salad, 2 beers and it was $100 And they have a service charge of 20% and only part of it goes to staff They expect you to tip on top of it because the hotel keeps part of it All in all a pretty miserable experience

Who deserves 10 stars? The Loupe Lounge does!…read more Here is the story. If you have a long layover you can stay at the airport or you can be a rebel and venture into the city. I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it!

Old Fashioned - 4 stars Supernova Spritz - 4 stars…read more The lounge at the top of the Space Needle is all about the view--and that's the reason to be here. The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old.

The Fog Room is definitely worth checking out for the views alone. It's a great rooftop spot where…read moreyou can take in the city while enjoying a drink, and the atmosphere makes it a fun place to hang out for a bit. The drinks were tasty and well-made, which is really what you want at a place like this. The service also stood out--in a good way. The staff were kind and attentive, and everything came out pretty quickly, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The food, on the other hand, was pretty average. It's basically what you'd expect from typical bar food--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. If you're coming here, I'd recommend focusing on the drinks and the view rather than making it a full dinner stop. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks, good service, and great views.

I stayed at the Sheraton this week and ended up stopping by the restaurant for dinner. I've eaten…read morehere before, so I was curious to see if things had changed since my last visit. The atmosphere is pretty much the same as I remember. The music was still playing fairly loud, and the air conditioning was running full blast. I get that it's summer, but at nearly 10 p.m. it felt a little excessive. A slightly warmer temperature and lower volume would have made the space more comfortable. The restaurant serves food until 11 p.m., although the late-night menu is somewhat limited. I was there on my own to watch the Algeria vs. Jordan match, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. Service was solid. The bartender was friendly, took the time to walk me through a few beer options, and I ended up ordering a Seattle Pale Ale, which turned out to be a great choice. Before I ordered food, he also mentioned that the kitchen was running about 15-20 minutes behind, which I appreciated. I went with the crispy chicken sandwich. It took about as long as expected, and overall it was quite good. That said, the real standout for me was the fries. They were perfectly cooked, crispy, and honestly the best part of the meal. If you're staying nearby or just looking for a casual spot to grab a drink and some food, it's worth checking out.

My friends ordered beer and I ordered a michelada with modelo. What I like was that not only did the server bring me a Michelada but the remainder of the modelo in a can. My friends dared me to down the modelo which I did lol We also ordered sweet potato tots and it was a huge portions enough for 3-4 ppl to share.

The last time I was there I was being actively ignored by multiple barkeepers acting super busy, walking up and down and polishing glasses or similar fillers on a non-busy night... Until I got up and walked out slowly to Provisions, a bar right across the street, to get a drink. With this attitude toward service, I'm sure none of them realized what kind of business walked out the door in that moment, given I live within walking distance, happen to like a good whiskey, and believe in tipping handsomely for good service. But I get it...surely they saw me and likely filter for a different type of clientele. It's just that even over the years I've been passing by it hasn't worked. But each to their own; never been back.
