    Cafe 128 - Blackened Salmon Salad

    I'm surprised by Cafe 128. This has to be one of the best eateries in a hospital as it offers…read morefresh food, has a lot of options, and is affordable, especially for the area. Okay, Cafe 128, I see you. Unfortunately, we were here because my partner had a work-related injury, so was being treated at Evergreen Health for it. As you can imagine with any hospital visit that is more serious, the waiting period can be long, so getting food nearby is inevitable. I came to Cafe 128, not expecting much for lunch, but was impressed. Cafe 128 is located in the central part of Evergreen Health, which is the main eatery of the hospital. Set up like a cafeteria, there are different areas with different food options, such as wood-oven pizza, salad bar, sandwich counter, deli, a wok station, etc. Seriously, I couldn't believe I was in a hospital with so much to choose from. I ended up getting a blackened salmon salad from the bar where the staff assembles the salad in front of you. And the salad was delicious and was about $13. It's unfortunate for anyone who needs to be in the hospital, but if you happen to need food and are at Evergreen Health, Cafe 128 is pretty dang good. Tons of options to choose from, including freshly-made food that's prepared once you place an order. Solid stuff.

    The food at Cafe 128 is really good. Not like the infamous cafeteria-style food of days gone by…read more There aren't and undercooked corn dogs or lime-green Jello desserts with marshmallows at this cafe. The menu includes a variety of freshly prepared salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and breakfast entree's. I tried their chopped turkey salad, the Thai chicken salad, the lentil chili, and a one of their breakfast burritos. All were good. The salads were filled with fresh, colorful produce, had plenty of meat, and tasty dressings. Their lentil chili was hot, thick, and chalked full of legumes. The breakfast burrito was stuffed with sausage, eggs, and cheese, and definitely my favorite. They gave me sides of sour cream and salsa that I slathered on before every bite. It's a hearty way to start your day. The cafe and dining room were both spotless. You can tell the employees go to great lengths to keep them clean. The woman at the salad bar is true star. She cranked out bowl after bowl of salad and still managed to engage in friendly chats while customers while they were waiting. I had good experiences every time I visited.

We got the lemon poppyseed cake and it was the biggest slice of cake I've ever seen (photos don't do it justice, it was bigger than our heads!) - it was a bit too sweet for my liking but the savory dishes were really delicious. I would love to try other items on their menu. We got seated at the outside bar table. Our servers were sweet and friendly. Parking lot in front with limited spots. Come early because it gets busy!

Had a total party size of two. We even added our names, but when we got led to our seats, we were put at the barstools. There were plenty of other parties of two that arrived after us that got tables plus there were some empty tables for two that we saw as well. So we requested a table instead of the bar area, but the server told us the manager didn't want us sitting there. Didn't make much sense when there were empty tables. Maybe they had some reasoning or structure for weekend crowds they they had to follow, not sure, but we had to stay seated at the bar area. We ordered a Margherita pizza to split as well as a slice of carrot cake as I've heard a lot of good things about these items. The pizza had really fresh ingredients and the sauce and tomatoes were tasty, however the dough was incredibly salty and made it difficult to eat. This was my first time at Deru Market, but I assume it isn't always this salty and could have been a one-time thing. The slice of carrot cake was pretty expensive (around $14) but it's huge and good to split amongst 2-3 people. I liked the generous serving of nuts and shredded carrot inside. Cream cheese frosting was still a bit too sweet for me (think I prefer Deep Sea Sugar and Salt's to this) and I had to remove most of it, but the cake was overall pretty good though a little on the dry side. I get why this place is popular, but I don't think I had the best first time experience here. With the high number of positive reviews though, maybe they were just having a bad day since it was a Saturday and pretty crowded, so I'm hoping to come back again in the future, during like a seasonal special if they have any.

The giant pretzel is a must-order, and the cheese curds are exactly how they should be--crispy on the outside with the perfect amount of chewy cheese inside.

I had one with "Beach" in the name, and it literally tasted like a vacation in a glass.

Our server was very friendly and helpful. They have an extensive menu of pub style foods. My wife settled on the fish sandwich, while I went for the breakfast burrito. Hey, it's 9 am somewhere, right? The fish got a thumbs up for taste, with a crunchy batter, but the portion size was lacking, especially for the price, which I felt was on the high side. My burrito, on the other hand, was a big portion and very flavorful. I thought it was priced appropriately. I also had a 12 oz beer - I liked their eclectic list of choices, but I was very disappointed to be charged $9 for this small pour. All in all, a good place, and great for a group.

    Warehouse 345 is technically one of the Amazon cafeterias on the SLU campus. But unlike other…read morecorporate cafeterias, this one is open to the public as it doesn't require badge access to enter. The food isn't subsidized, so the pricing is comparable to outside eateries. Their offerings include salads, soups and hot entrees which are priced under $10. This eatery is located next to Zoka in the Dawson building. Walk further down the hall until you see the entrance to this cafeteria. Typically you will find a line at the entrance. This is not the line to enter, but rather the line to order a salad which is arguably the most popular option. If you want a soup or hot meal, walk past this line to head inside. I have only gotten the hot meals here and I found them to be average in every way. Price, portion and taste. I feel like I get shortchanged buying the hot meals here since it only includes the entree and a side like rice or beans so the takeout box feels a little light. If you want veggies, you have to pay more for that. Given that there are so many options in SLU including food trucks and restaurants, eating here is purely out of convenience. The cafeteria is a half block away from where I work so it is a nearby option when I don't have a lot of time to eat. Otherwise I would usually opt for a food truck instead. It is a nice place to dine with co-workers since the dining room is quite large. It gets pretty full during the lunch hour so it may be tough to get a table, but usually there are counter seats available here. Overall, Warehouse 345 is fine. I like that it is close to my office, but I prefer to eat elsewhere if I have the time since the fare here isn't very appealing to me.

Even with a reservation, we did have to wait a bit, but it was Valentine's Day, so totally understandable given how busy Italian spots get. Parking was pretty convenient with spaces both in front and behind the restaurant, and if those are full, it's close to the Totem Lake area so there are other options nearby. The ambiance was definitely unique--lots of mannequins, motorcycles, and a sort of roadshow vibe. It felt fun, a little quirky, and different from your typical Italian restaurant. Service was good overall, especially considering how busy it was. Our server was attentive enough and kept things moving smoothly. We started with bread and butter--nothing particularly special, but still enjoyable. The garlic herb compound butter oddly felt nostalgic and reminded me of childhood. For appetizers, we got the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the seafood pasta in a wine cream sauce and really enjoyed it. There was a good amount of seafood--not super crab-heavy, but enough to get a few nice bites--and the sauce itself was light and well-balanced. My husband ordered the chicken parm, which he said was good but leaned a bit on the bland side. Overall, it feels like a solid neighborhood Italian spot. Definitely a place we'd come back to when we're in the area.

    As someone deeply affiliated with this place (no, I'm not an employee of the caf, nor have I ever…read morebeen), who has eaten here countless times and will eat here countless more, let me say that I am embarrassed that it is still advertised as an award-winning vegetarian experience. Here's the thing: IT USED TO BE REALLY GOOD. And then, about a year ago, the amazing, ground-breaking chef followed his lady love to California. Aaaand it all tanked after that. I feel that integrity was lost after the switch. The knowledge and principles that made this place special are no longer present. Okay, it's still a fine school cafeteria. And it is tweaked in some of the ways that a cafeteria should be at a school of Naturopathic Medicine. But it also now propagates the general belief that eating vegetarian means eating tofu and/or pasta with every meal, which is patently false. Also, dinner now = sandwich bar, which, I would imagine, is an unpleasant surprise for anyone lured in by the advertising. The relative pros are that the soups are often allergen free and the desserts really are good, particularly considering most of them are in some way allergen free or vegan. (The head baker has not changed.) I would not recommend anyone, who is not part of the captive market, coming here. Seattle is a big, liberal city and you can find something to meet your dietary needs in a venue with more of a need to compete.

During the week, you have the option to pay for food by weight or enjoy an all-you-can-eat option for a set price. Plus, they always serve free Brazilian coffee. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience authentic homemade-style Brazilian food.
