    The food was hit or miss. Some things were great like the fettuccine and bbq pizza, other items came out cold and mediocre. Drinks were just ok.

    Okay overall. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Saturday night, but service was still pretty slow. We sat on the back patio which was nice in the summer, and had a good time. Food and drinks were a little overpriced in my opinion, but kinda what I expected downtown.

    Wonderful find for me. It is a very spacious restaurant in the middle of downtown Seattle without the madness of Pike place market. The staff was super friendly and the food was very nice. The pastry was absolutely heavenly. The place doesn't have much of a view of anything since it's on the street level, but that is what keeps this place clean, quiet, and far from the maddening crowd. Being attached to the Kimpton hotel, the place has that upscale yet old school ambiance.

    The shakes are spot on….very good. The rest of our meal was…just OK. One of the burgers and one pasta dish came out cold. And overall the food was just average other than the shakes. Also - we sat in the patio and they had a TV with an infomercial for a hair growth product running on loop for over an hour. It was SUPER annoying.

    We paid almost $50 for a cold cheeseburger and cold pancakes, for brunch over cooked potato wedges, and we are the only ones in the restaurant one hour before they would make milkshakes and they told us no would not recommend.

    Great service, great atmosphere. We came from Vancouver Island for the milkshakes. They were impressive. I would just make a point to ask for them to be thick as ours were all more like chocolate milk. Awesome free pinball machines downstairs on the way to washrooms. Thanks for the fun memories!!

    Was not happy with service especially the food. Ordered food at 12:30 and didn't get food until 1:20, mind me that I am on lunch with my two kids and sister. Fries came out last. How is that possible? Didn't even get to each lunch and had to rush back to work.

    Friends had recommended this place. Said it was nice and casual. Decided to take a work colleague here to try it out. Really great experience. We sat outside on the back patio. Nice and quiet. Service was great. They were friendly. Very accommodating with slight changes to what we ordered. Everything came out right. I had Chicken burger but swiss instead of feta. Definitely order the homemade chips and french onion dip as appetizer. Really great... I topped it off with chocolate shake. It was good but a bit small for the price... I'd definitely go back with a larger group of friends. Very casual.

    This restaurant is amazing! They were so kind. We went there to celebrate my daughter finishing her cancer treatment and the whole lunch was comped! Our waiter was so attentive, too. They didn't have their big awesome shakes during brunch time, so we went back after the play at the 5th Avenue theater and had a shake! You can park at the hotel Monaco with valet parking, and they will validate the parking for you as well, so that is a super big plus to be able to go to Seattle and not have to find parking!

    It’s been a while since I have eaten at Outlier (pre-COVID). The menu is noticeable shorter, with very little in the way of lunch entrees other than pub-grub. I came because I thought I could order a fondly remembered chicken salad. Alas no more. The location look minimalist and is was not very busy. Sad.

    Everything was great! Seemed a little short staffed and bar seemed like it needed a little longer to prep—nothing that couldn’t be resolved or fixed. And the waitress was lovely and kind—just wish she had more help. But overall would go again. Oreo milkshake hit the spot!

    Go somewhere else. Pros: burger was delicious, ambiance is nice. Cons: service was very poor (one server with way too many tables), drinks were made with incorrect ingredients, prices on the check were higher than on the menu, and they add a ~4% service charge for “dishwashers and back of the house staff”

    This was a disappointment. Highly recommend avoiding brunch. Limited options and of the 4 items tried, none were great. If you do try brunch, avoid the crab cakes. They are dry and tasteless despite trying to drown them in remoulade (we asked for more). The other food was so so. There was a bug in our carafe of water. We usually hesitate to leave a poor review, but felt the management needed to know. Not a great experience.

    Food was great, service not so much. Our burgers were outstanding. We were seated in the doorway, asked to move but were told the open tables would over-tax the server in that section. Although our server was able to serve us well when we first sat down, she was soon over-busy. Nearly everything we ordered was not available due to supply chain issues, which the server was not aware of until after we ordered and she had to come back and ask for a second choice. Our dessert didn't arrive until 30 minutes after we had ordered it and we were late to the theater.

    Service was mediocre, our server told us there was no soup of the day even though the manu showed soup of the day. When he came back with drinks, he told us there was stew, but could describe what it contained. Drinks delivered were not drinks ordered and food came in lukewarm. I wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    First off the service was great but the food was not good. Kale Caesar salad had no kale. I added chicken thinking it was a chicken breast but it was chicken thigh. Pretzel appetizer was stale. Fries were great but dipping sauce was disappointing. I stopped in here for happy hour but was told they changed the hours. Hopefully it was just an off night for this restaurant.

    Service was excellent! Prices are fairly high, so food quality should match. Website happy hour info was inaccurate, as was info about heated patio. I love that you can sub an Impossible burger patty into any burger, but both of ours was burnt and crunchy. They offer free valet parking for 2 hrs, which make this a convenient place near Columbia Tower to have a drink and a meal. Our waiter was top-notch and attentive.
