    Dungeness Crab Benedict
    Nora C.

    The Fig & The Judge Ratings: 3.9/5 Food: 4/5 - My friend is a Titanium member of Marriott, so we got a complimentary a la carte breakfast during our stay, so we decided to try it out before we start our adventure in Seattle. We are allow to select one entrée and one beverage of our choice. MY friend and I both got the Dungeness crab benedict. Please see below for a detailed review of the food we got. - Dungeness Crab Benedict [GET]: This dish exceeded my expectations. There was a heaping portion of fresh crabmeat laid right on top of a pile of spinach and tomato. The eggs are perfectly poached with a running egg yolks and along with the creamy hollandaise sauce, definitely made the English muffin super moist and chewy to eat, yet not soggy. Great texture! The only downside was the potatoes on the side. We wished that it was fried crispier and a more burnt outer layer. - Cappuccino [GET]: Seattle is known for its coffee, but this hotel cappuccino did not disappoint me. The milk foam was good and coffee is smooth to drink with a good aroma. I just wished that the cappuccino was stronger than it is, and I definitely tasted more milk than coffee. Ambiance: 4/5 - The interior dining area is pretty, spacious, bright, clean, and definitely well-kept. It looks like most of the higher-end hotel chains at Marriott. There's lots of booths, tables, and chairs available. You can see a view of the highway if you happened to sit next to the windows. Expect this place to be packed during the weekends. This is a great spot for a causal meal for personal or business travel. Price: 3.75/5 - Dungeness crab benedict was $27 and the cappuccino was $5 before tax and tips. If I was paying for this meal, I think it was just average in terms of worth and value. They do give a good amount of crabmeat, but as a traveler, there are just too many other restaurants nearby for me to try, so I would rather visit a local restaurant and coffee shops then spending money on a meal at the hotel. Service: 3.75/5 - The customer service was good, but nothing too surprisingly crazy. We came here during brunch hour on Sunday, and it was quite packed. There are limited waitress, and we can see they are bussing in and out of the kitchen. Despite somewhat slow service and waitress forgot to bring us water, our waitress was nice and friendly and served us our food promptly. BLUF: The Dungeness Crab Benedict is the way to go for brunch at the Renaissance hotel. Make sure to ask them to toast your hash brown longer for the extra crunch. Everyone seems happy dining there, so you cannot go wrong with any of their menu options. I was happy and satisfied with my meal there, and definitely will return again.

    It's a quiet respite at 5pm.

    Delicious!! We stopped in by chance & boy did this restaurant sparkle!! I was the first person visiting at 5pm, so I had the wait staff to myself and boy.....I felt pampered. I met my girlfriend for appetizers before an event we were attending and we chose the cauliflower/cheese curds & hummus and veggies. Both appetizers were fresh. The cheese curds and cauliflower were accompanied by nuts and dried apricots, which were great flavor combos . The hummus had tons of veggies, and two varieties of hummus. Atmosphere is light and airy. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. This is a little gem, like a bit of calm in a hectic city!

    Service is great and my order came out quickly. I got my order to go so that I could get back to work and it was packed well with everything I'd need. Food was great! Only possible negative was the auto add 20% gratuity. Eggs Benedict with hash-browns, 2 pancakes with strawberries, and a latte came to $52. Definitely enough food for breakfast for two though.

    I was here for a teacher conference, and instead of trying to leave the hotel and find a place to eat with 5,000 other teachers, I opted to stay at the hotel and eat at The Fig & The Judge. What a lovely surprise! The place wasn't packed, the service was top notch, and the food was great! Everything was so great, I told my colleagues and they me at the hotel the following day for lunch. During my first visit I had the Pappa Al Pomodoro with a grilled cheese sandwich. The Fig & The Judge's version of these two classic comfort foods was yummy. The soup had great flavor, the bread was toasted and buttery, and the cheese had a nutty flavor. On my second visit I had the pastrami reuben sandwich, and it was also great. The bread for the grilled cheese and reuben were the same, and The Fig & The Judge uses bread from Macrina Bakery, a Seattle bakery. My coworkers were pleased with their meals. This is a great restaurant for a business lunch or casual dining. If you're just getting in from a flight or don't feel like leaving the hotel, give this restaurant a try.

    This is the restaurant on the second floor of the Renaissance hotel in downtown Seattle. We stayed at the hotel and ate at their breakfast buffet for all three days we were in Seattle. The buffet itself was good and offered several options - eggs, bacon (always), sausage, French toast or waffles, potatoes, fruits, pastries, yogurt, etc. An omelet station would have been nice but I really can't complain too much since breakfast for two was included in the room rate. The breakfast crew was great and very attentive - they also gave us a smoothie to start the meal. We also had the chance to try their dinner service once and the experience was a little more mixed - the food itself had some strong points (the clam chowder, including smoked salmon, and the chicken in the ballotine itself were really good and tasty) but the dessert (shortbread) was way too sweet and the potatoes and veggies that accompanied the chicken need some work. It also didn't appear that they had enough staff to accommodate a crowded restaurant on a Saturday night. The ambiance is great - very modern look and gorgeous views. Overall, this is a very solid hotel restaurant option.

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

    We tried all three Dutch babies - classic, sweet, and savory - and they didn't disappoint. The…read moresavory-sweet combo was the highlight, especially if you enjoy contrasting flavors. The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

    Fulcrum Cafe is a small but cute coffee shop in the Denny Triangle area of Downtown Seattle…read more When we visited, Fulcrum offered a great menu of fancy speciality coffee drinks and an amazingly lovely pastry selection. Unfortunately, they were not offering breakfast sandwiches on the day we visited, which was a large part of their food menu. The service was fast and friendly. This place does have a bit of a fancier vibe, so we opted to order and go since our kids were with us. They do have cute little seating options inside and outside- always a perk! We just ordered a drip coffee and a pistachio cream latte. The Pistachio Cream latte was amazing, but we wished it had a tad more pistachio flavor. The drip coffee was good. Worth the visit if you're nearby!

He drinks his coffee black, so flavor really matters, and this one delivered. It was smooth, complex, and honestly the perfect start to our day--it had him energized and ready to take on anything. I went with the "Sunggle Me Sesame" (espresso, toasted black sesame sauce, brown sugar syrup, and oat milk), and it was phenomenal. I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks, but this was beautifully crafted--not overly sweet, just a perfect balance of nutty, toasty, and slightly sweet flavors. It felt unique, comforting, and incredibly well thought out. Overall, such a standout coffee spot with creative drinks and exceptional quality. Highly recommend!

I noticed the salmon on the menu and decided to give it a try since I was looking for something a little lighter. I am so glad I did. Without exaggeration, it was the best salmon I've ever had.

The Dutch baby was the real winner: chewy, and puffy golden edges, blackberries, candied nuts, and a fruit drizzle. That was the most memorable thing on the table. The fish sandwich was fine but a little underwhelming. Crispy bacon and a generous salmon fillet, but the bun came out cold, which threw off the whole bite. At around $25, that detail matters. The most disappointing thing were the Fries, which were on the harder side. Tables are tight, so plan for elbow-to-elbow seating. Worth it for the Dutch baby. I'd order differently next time. Food was 3 stars, but 1 star for our server.
