Steelhead DinerConsistently good foodBeen here four times and keep going back. I reccommend it to friends. Very good seafood, fantastic appetizers, great service. Kitchen bar is first come first serve and best seat in the house.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service but Value?Went for an early dinner before the opera. The service was great and totally respectful of our time table. The ambience was a little loud but we could still carry on a conversation. Had the halibut that was plated in a sea of watercress puree and spring peas. The halibut was grilled just right and hot but the puree was very cold. My only negative comment is that everything is a al carte and ends up being very pricey for the meal. Not sure the price is worth it.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMCatfish TacoHaving never been to Steelhead Diner before we did not know what to expect for lunch but the very nice interior ambience suggested right away that this could be good. First impression at this place are born out by the food. The Catfish Taco via New Orleans style without blackening was truely one of the best fish dishes I have ever eaten. The catfish was heavenly, the hot and spicy underlay of beans and potatoes added just the right spicy note to the delicate fish. Basically this meal is one of my top 10. Nice work Steelhead!!!5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experienceThe food and service were outstanding.

fresh food and interesting ambience4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFour of us went to SteelheadFour of us went to Steelhead on a Wednesday evening. It was hopping when we arrived! And the sun hadn't yet set so the view was spectacular! Our table didn't permit seeing the Sound unless standing but our location was quieter than some others. The food was wonderful! Our entire group was very happy!4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThe quality and creativityThe quality and creativity of the food is always terrific. Very attentive wait staff, eager to please but not overbearing. The fresh menu always make me want to return.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the tots!We very much enjoyed our Restaurant Week lunch. The special menu was varied and generous, especially savored the crab & shrimp tater tots! We'll certainly be back when next in the city.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMVery Good Eats at the MarketWent here with the new in-laws the day after our wedding.
The vegetable dishes rock! The fish and chips was a little bland. The whole fish was succulent and cooked just right. We were too stuffed to get dessert but will be back for the vegie dishes and hopefully have room to try the cheesecake.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband got the salmon,My husband got the salmon, which he raved about. It also came with a good-sized portion of veggies, so he didn't feel compelled to order an additional side dish. I'm a vegetarian, and I found great food on the menu - plus, after drinking a couple of the Green-Butted Skunks, everything tastes good!! Great restaurant. Attentive and enthusiastic (but not intrusive) service.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Yum Program in Food - The Wow!Aside from having some of the best service in Seattle - food is always an experience to look forward to. Due to the 3 course restaurant tastings - I am now a fan of the crab tator tots, major yum program. The atmosphere at the market is always energized, but your staff is a major reason I come back. There are few Seattle places that realize that more and more competition is penetrating the market - service and quality of food will rule. Steelhead is an icon restaurant for Seattle - thanks so much for taking care of my friends, clients and ME! Love the place. I have recieved many customer service awards during my career - hats off to you for knowing how to make customers feel special.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe stopped in for lunch.We stopped in for lunch. We were surprised to see how busy it was for a week day. Glad we had reservations! Service was great! Food was great! We had a blast, restaurant was lively and very comfortable!4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMVery Pleased (as always!)Seattle Restaurant Week - what a deal. Had the crab/shrimp tator tots for the appetizer and it was delicious. The pesto pasta sounded really good, but flavor-wise was ordinary. Went lighter with the sorbet, which was refreshingly good. My friend had the wilted spinach salad and arctic char - I tried a bit of both and both were excellent! Overall (again) very good... The service was exceptional (very nice and attentive waiter).4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMThis restaurant just "feels"This restaurant just "feels" like Seattle.

My husband was less pleased with the quality of the steak that he ordered. The pasta dish my son ordered was very good. We ordered from the Dine Around Seattle menu which encluded a nice salad and delicious desserts.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe dined during Seattle RestaurantWe dined during Seattle Restaurant month ($30 for 3 courses) and were happy with the portion sizes and the selection (special for that month). Salmon and steak were fantastic, as were the appetizers (crab cake, salad with kale & asparagus). Desserts were also wonderful. Good service - busy busy busy (at least on a Thursday night). Good wine list.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous, except for an overdoneFabulous, except for an overdone steak. Ordered rare, and got medium well.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed the Dine AroundWe enjoyed the Dine Around options. It was nice. Our waiter was very energetic. We enjoyed his recommendations to try the pepper shakers that were on the table and were pleasantly surprised that they were a compliment to our meals.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWent there with my familyWent there with my family from overseas. I was there for dinner before and found the food then more interesting. The lunch menu is a bit blah, even diner-like. It could have been a bit more elegant. The service is great though and the people friendly.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent Choice Near Public MarketOutstanding food and great service just steps away from the Public Market sign in Seattle. No reservations were available directly but I was able to get one via open table, Thank You Open Table. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone in Seattle and looking for a great dinner location.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe manager and our waitressThe manager and our waitress and waiter were friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The caviar pie was scrumptious and can only be found at Steelhead. The crab tater tots were full of crab. The fish and chips are exceptional. The special dinner had a beautiful, fresh salad,perfectly cooked sweet catfish over hominy with wonderful spiced coleslaw and cajun sauce. The special early dinner is a great buy. We love to try these new dishes from Chef Tony. Steelhead's bartender always seems to make delicious cocktails.
One of the best places to dine in Seattle.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first visit toThis was my first visit to the restaurant via Dine around Seattle. It was packed at lunch time, a good sign. Nice views of the market and bay from several tables. Waiter brought an amuse-bouche, unexpected and good. Had an excellent soup and loved the chocolate pecan pie for dessert, a very generous portion. The mahi mahi main dish was a bit too saucy and very uniform in color-a drier grilled piece and some colorful veggies would improve the dish. All in all a good find and right in the market!3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the crab cakes ! PlanLoved the crab cakes ! Plan on going there again !3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food.
