    Trendy spot, very busy for a holiday weekend brunch. Portion size smaller than expected for price points. Coffee and bar drinks left a lot to be desired, weak chai and the special Bloody Mary didn’t taste any different than a regular version it just had a different garnish.

    Great food and service! The restaurant was vibrant with lots going on, but not so loud as to hinder conversation. It was a most enjoyable experience and exceeded my expectations.

    it was a busy, chaotic saturday so we did have to wait past our reservation time but the food came in a surprisingly timely manner. the staff was uniformly helpful & the food was good but sort of expensive for what it is. i'm guessing that location caters to tourists. i would go again if i had out of town guests.

    The food was fantastic and really close to Pike’s. We really wanted dessert but instead of being offered, we were brought the check. Someone at our table wanted another drink but as he was talking, our waiter walked away and only returned with the check.

    Hello Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a five-star review. However, we regret to hear that the check was brought sooner than would have been preferable. We hope you will come back again soon so we can show you the level of service we normally provide. -The Ben Paris Team

    My chicken tasted like something you would get in the freezer section at Safeway. Burger was tasteless and bun wet. Our order was never put in so we waited an extra long time to eat as well.

    Our favorite place to go for brunch in Seattle. The ricotta pancakes are a clear winner. This place gets packed on weekends so a reservation is highly recommended.
