This is a lovely restaurant with a good selection of food choices. And its wine by the glass offerings are well selected with both domestic and international choices. Our server, Justin, was very attentive as was his assistant. And the hostess who seated us was very gracious. This was our first visit and we were very satisfied. We will return again.

Ben Paris has a great happy hour! Excellent food and drink options. The most important part about this review is that our server was the only dedicated server in the restaurant that night. He worked extremely hard to serve all of his customers. He did a great job and was extremely personable. Also our complimentary drinks and appetizer because of a canceled reservation on the restaurant’s part was fulfilled with grace. We enjoyed a lovely glass of Abeja Merlot and an excellent focaccia bread. Try this place out!! I would make a reservation as this is tourist season and the restaurant was quite full at 6 PM.

Lovely ambience, great service and YUMMY food. Spicy marg left something to be desired, because they use a tincture and not muddled peppers it feels like the spice is separate from the liquor, not like they were meant to be combined. But otherwise, will definitely be back for the chicken and the burger!!

When we did get service it was fine, but we had to wait quite some time for a table reservation and then it seemed like they were either short staffed or didn't know who was covering which table. Food was fine, not great. I love the atmosphere and will come back for brunch, but maybe not dinner.

We enjoyed eating here. The staff was very attentive. Our waiter seated us at a quiet table and made sure we got out in time to make the start of our show at Benaroya Hall. The food was excellent. My wife especially loved the vegetarian pasta, and my braised short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Both were very flavorful. As our waiter warned us, the carrot cake was more than enough for two. We would eat here again.

I had to check out this spot during my trip to Seattle to see what all the hype was about—and it did not disappoint! I made a reservation and we were seated right away. I was with my two sisters and my brother-in-law, and we had such a great time. Let’s talk mocktails: I had The Kennedy Package and the Jessica Rabbit- OMG. So good! Everything we ordered was delicious. I went with the Ben Paris Breakfast, and let me just say… the potatoes are life. Seriously, they are so good, my sister asked how they were made. were Huge shoutout to Nico, Vera, and Justin for the top-notch service. I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town! I also love the fact, they were celebrating Pride!

Wee found this gem at a conference. Went for brunch on a Sunday. Everyone enjoyed their meals so much. I had the avocado toast with eggs and my friends had the kale salad. All was fresh, service was as great. Highly recommend!
