Food was amazing, good service and a pleasant patio to enjoy an early summer dinner.

We really enjoyed the food and service at Outlier. The peppered bacon is delicious, and my son devoured the chicken and waffles. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend for breakfast (we haven’t tried the other fare).

Outlier was a quick place to get a late brunch on a Saturday on our way to the Seattle Art Museum. The food was very good as was the service. The place was fairly empty as it was a late and we had to order quickly before the kitchen closed.

Wonderful food, lovely place, great wine!

The food was great and we had a great time. We split the $140 Rib Steak.

Service was great as always
I had the salmon sandwich and my client had the fried chicken sandwich, both were excellent

Personable service. He seemed to be having a lot of fun

I occasionally would go here when it was Sazerac. I thought I would give Outlier a try for an office lunch. It was fine and I would go again. It wasn't drop your fork amazing, but a very acceptable alternative for a casual business meal. It won't impress clients, but the food is tasty, served in a reasonable amount of time, by competent wait staff. All a the lunch thought their food was good to very good.

Prices are too high for lunch and menu is fairly limited.

Great place for a nice lunch! Definitely a step above typical hotel restaurants. Highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich!

Definitely a hotel restaurant, lots of business people in from out of town probably staying at hotels nearby. Food was better than expected, but a little overpriced probably due to its clientele. If you’re local to seattle you can find something better for a better value.

The staff was friendly and the food was really really delicious. I wish I could remember what I had - it was the first day of a 6-day whirlwind conference, but the fact that I remember the restaurant says something about how good it was.

Great downtown spot for breakfast - good food and space

The individual who was originally supposed to be our server basically ignored us for 20 mins after we we're sat. I went and spoke with the greeter at the door, he went and found a different server who was absolutely wonderful. Food was absolutely great.

We celebrated Mother's Day at Outlier and the food was amazing, ambiance was lovely and although they seemed a bit under staffed, we wouldn't have noticed except for our server kindly apologizing each time she came to the table.

The food was cooked perfectly. I had the scallops and my husband had the chicken. Super moist!

Some food items were very good - e.g. the asparagus. Other things were just “ok” - we had a great waitress. Good selection at the bar, but wine choices somewhat limited.

Went to Outlier for a business lunch (had the duck bolognese). Food was great and wait-staff was very attentive. I've gone a few times and it's always a consistently good experience.

The server was very good though the wait for our drinks was too long given the place was almost empty., The menu was a bit limited and the same ingredients showed up in numerous dishes. They are very fond of truffle oil, asparagus , and hazelnuts right now. And it's really loud. They blast the music and it's a very auster place, so it's extremely challenging to talk. It was also so cold I needed to go get sweaters for the people in our group.

Server is excellent. Food is good, even if the menu is a bit shorter than some others.

Very noisy and food was not worth the price paid.

Food ok but menu limited to just plain weird items.

Delicious food and very friendly, helpful servers!!!!

Dining at Outlier was truly enjoyable. The menu had just been updated, sadly the meal I had picked from their menu online was no longer available, but our server was helpful in choosing a new option. He communicated with the kitchen to ensure that my meal would be gluten free and offered substitutions when necessary.

Food is good....but for the 2nd time service was poor.

Tried this contemporary American restaurant for breakfast. Besides the usual standards the kitchen offers some creative and unusual takes on old favorites. I quite enjoyed the duck confit hash. This is not for the quick fast food breakfast but if you want a leisurely quality meal while downtown, I’d recommend it.

I enjoy coming to this place because it’s different. I have yet to have a bad meal or drink here so I’m always thinking of this place first to bring friends and colleagues who are from out of town so I can give them something uniquely Seattle. With that being said, this particular meal was nice and all the ingredients were beautifully presented and fresh but a little underwhelming as far as flavours...was hoping for a more lip smacking, “this is really tasty” experience this evening. The silver lining: My dining companion is a definite foodie from British Columbia and seemed to enjoy her meal, so I’m happy with our decision to dine here. I will be back for future visits because I like it but I’m hoping for a bigger wow factor like the first few times I’ve been. :)

Traveling and wanted a nice place to eat

Went there for seafood Laksa on the menu but the item was sold out (9pm dinner). Went for pizza instead - good taste pizza but not necessarily best value for money. I’d consider going back again to try their laksa.

My family and I visited Seattle and stayed at Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle. I had read great reviews for Outlier, which was located right at the hotel, and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. The food was great, and the service was even better. Be sure to try the Duck Fat Fries, Charred Cabbage & Potato Pierogi, and Duck Bolognese.

Food and service was good. Sat at table near open door to hotel lobby so it’s was drafty and cold. I should have asked for a different table. I also thought 18% gratuity was added but the tip line said 0 so I added 20%. Turned out I double tipped. My fault again for not asking to be sure.

Brought a client here for lunch. Overall food was good, but I can’t give it five stars yet as I didn’t try much on the menu. The mushroom burger and duck fat fries were excellent. The fries were more like potato wedges, but they were still great.

Nice, cool ambiance. I could see this being a good spot for a lunch date, happy hour or casual dinner.

The duck bolo is AMAZING!

Went here with my girlfriend for dinner before a show. The location is ideal and the layout is nice. Booths were comfortable and quiet. Service was good.

The food, however, was not good. I ordered the mushroom burger. The bun was dry and bunt. There might have been three mushrooms on the burger, along with a piece of lettuce. The burger itself lacked flavor. For $18, I expect more. Girlfriend ordered the duck, which was served around a pile of what looked like cabbage (didn't seem to be what the duck should be paired with). The duck wasn't dry, but it was quite bland.

All-in-all, good location, service, and ambiance, but poor quality food, especially for the price.

Great food and service .
The pizza is amazing

Creative food with great flavors. I liked that they were able to accommodate my various food intolerances. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Our server was friendly and helpful. Glad they leave a water jug at the table so you don't have to hunt someone down, but our server was attentive so no hunting was necessary.

We were in Seattle on St. Patrick's Day and happened on The Outlier quite by accident. We were pleasantly surprised by the snappy décor, nice service and great food. I had a seafood Laksa which was excellent with fresh seafood and a wonderful curry/coconut sauce. My wife had a pizza which also was well done. We will go back there.
P.S. Don't miss the imaginative mural painted on the walls above the dining room ... fun to look at.

Nice ambiance, eclectic menu & great service from Brad made a great time with friends/ colleagues.

Service was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Interesting and tasty food!

Great food, wonderful staff
