   I had the Mushroom Orecchiette, which was the only vegetarian main dish option on the menu. Fortunately, it was very good, and the portion was generous. I added a side of grilled asparagus, which was also well-prepared. My friend had the burger, which he said was good. Service was professional, but not particularly warm or personable. The biggest disappointment was the margarita: very expensive for a cocktail served in a short rocks glass that was maybe 2/3 full. I’ve had lots of margaritas at restaurants over the years, and I’ve never been served one like this. Also, the noise level was pretty high. I might eat here again if I was in downtown Seattle, but I wouldn’t make a special trip.

   It was so noisy that we had to yell across the table to hear each other. The whole place reflects sound and the 8 top of yelling guys across from us was almost unbearable. Service was very good, but food was bland for both of our plates. It was cooked perfectly, just had no spices.

   We went in for lunch and had to be in and out in 45 minutes but we made it no problem because our waitress was very attentive and on top of things. Great food-a little overpriced but it seems to be a theme for downtown Seattle.

   Hi Beth, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and that your server provided attentive, efficient service to help you stay on schedule.

   Not the best server, food was fine but a little pricy but my husband loved his burger at least. Really liked the decor

   This is our go-to restaurant before a Sunday matinee at the Paramount Theater here in Seattle. It never disappoints. Always good food and great service.

   The food was great, although quite slow for our table of three. And it was much more expensive than we thought it was worth. We did the Seattle Restaurant Week for $65/per person, and we should have just bought a dinner and app. The cheesecake was dry and not very good. The building is gorgeous, and our waitress was very nice.

    The drinks were good and the service was great! The Carlton Farms Pork Shoulder was very tasty. I am never disappointed when I order the Carlton Farms Pork.
