This was the worst Thanksgiving meal in my experience. Seafood appetizer was burnt. When returned to kitchen, informed they were all alike…burnt. Replacement was good but found chuck of grizzle in meat. Turkey was served with skin on, basically just tasted worse than mediocre. Two baby carrots plus two slices of carrot were probably the best to be said. Mashed potatoes were bland. Hard to screw up, but were. The cornbread was served as an appetizer with a ball of butter on top. Looked like pumpkin pie. That was good and thankfully filling because the rest of the meal was pretty much unable to be eaten. Interesting passing remark was made by my waiter, seemed everyone was not eaten it. The dessert, a spice cake was excellent. Note about a 30% service charge was added to the bill. The Manhattan was excellent. I recommend visiting the lounge for a cocktail and heading elsewhere. Very disappointed. Beautiful room. A shame.

We had reservations at a steak house but decided to try this Thanksgiving Meal Experience. I thought 120/person for a 3 course meal (drinks not included) was a bit steep but decided to try it anyway. Ended up paying close to $900 for 5 people to eat mediocre food (most of it delivered lukewarm). We did not have a nice view of the water (they sat us farthest away from the windows). The restaurant touts its amazing view but we were placed next to the bar with a view of office buildings, not the Puget Sound. Got the feeling this was not a top notch restaurant from the time we arrived. When we got off the elevator and checked in at the front desk - the gal told us to have a seat and they would see if they could get us seated early. She didn’t ask for a name so wasn’t sure how she was going to check, but ok. We sat there for 20 mins until we saw other people walking in, sitting down and then being seated. Eventually we realized we needed to check in at a separate reception desk, which we did right away. By this time, they told us it would be a while because they had a lot of people to sit before us. I noticed they were taking people who arrived after us. The delivery, presentation and taste of the food felt like we were at a wedding reception. Apparently the kitchen is downstairs (might explain why the food wasn’t hot). The only positives to this experience was our server Devin who was great. Also, entering their bathroom was entertaining (and dizzying). This is probably a good place to book a private room for a reception (those rooms have great views of the water) but we will skip any more “experiences” or overpriced meals here.

Overall, the food was not worth the price. Waiter rushed to grab our plates and then apologized since we were not done eating. Paid for the Thanksgiving event, arrived early and then we were rushed to the next course. Others were asking to lower the blinds or some type of curtain since the sunlight was blinding. They wouldn't do it for the Thanksgiving lunch.

This is one of the best restaurants in Seattle. Everything was perfect and the wait staff are great. we had homemade rye bread and homemade butter. We had oysters and a creative use of endive. The white bean soup was perfect. The steak and the veggie choice was top notch. For dessert we split a white chocolate soufflé . it don’t get any better.

Timoteo was a great server, all staff very welcoming and friendly. This was our first time in the Lotte hotel, had never heard of Charlotte before an open table search for brunch before a Hawks game. It was excellent, beautiful, seated at the window for a spectacular view on the 16th floor. Hospitality in abundance, made us want to try this hotel as well!

We have been here 5 time before (including my birthday in one of their rooms) and each time, the quality is less and less. We ordered a set menu for everyone (5 people) and food was ok (nothing exciting - we think they changed their chef.. they used to sous vided their black cod dish but not they simply pan fried it, and my wife ordered their pork chop and it was dry that she only has couple bites). We brought a cake to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had to wait over 20 min (after asking serveral people) to get a knife to cut the cake. The dining area had about 5-6 tables so I'm not sure what was the hold up. We really like their ambient and we liked coming here, but I don't think we will be coming back here again unless they drastically improve their service and menu. It's too bad because I know Lotte hotel is a fine establishment and we have stayed at many of their hotels in Asia.

Breakfast was nice. Dinner was mediocre at best and overpriced. Upon arrival they informed us that the octopus was no longer available. We ordered the broccolini, the endive "salad", and the seafood gnocchi. None of these appetizers were good. The gnocchi sauce felt as if from a jar. Mussels were not open and we were told by the waiter not to eat the one that was completely closed (but that we could try to pry open the others). The black cod tasted of oil. On the plus side the desserts were great - we had the white chocolate soufflé and the flour less chocolate cake.
