Really cool entry to the space and a beautiful city view from the table on the patio, including the space needle. Good drink selection and nice shareable plates (we chose more tapas style versus meals). We had some snags with service - long wait time for someone to take our order and >15 minutes for a second drink order (we ended up cancelling) - but the server was kind and apologetic. We'd definitely consider coming again if back in Seattle.

Four of us met for Happy Hour on a Tuesday around 4:30 with a reservation. The views were gorgeous, and the cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were excellent. The check-in process was a bit frustrating—slow elevator and only one party allowed up at a time. Despite requesting outdoor seating, we were told no four-tops were available, and a manager repeated what the server had already explained. Service was friendly but stretched—one order never arrived, though it was removed from the bill. Great atmosphere and food, but some service and logistics could use improvement.

We had Aperols and they were amazing. The ribeye (to share) and the ahi tuna appetizer were my favorite. The views are stunning and make for great pics. Staff was great.

Great view and vibe. Pricing doesn't really align with food quality. It is very difficult to get an outdoor table despite calling well in advance. Beware they consider an enclosed pavilion by the bar "outdoor seating".

Impeccable food and cocktails, with practically a 360 degree view of Seattle from South Lake Union! Service is friendly, warm and professional. MBar is a must for impressing your out of town guests. We loved every bite and sip!
