    The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. It is a short walk from the convention center. You can eat outdoors or inside. We had a window table for 2 which was perfect. The service was quick. The fried oysters were well prepared, but the Lobster Mac and Cheese was the best dish we had.

    The waiter was very unfriendly and almost hostile. Food was very pricey and not worth the expense.

    This is such a wonderful experience for our family! The atmosphere and ambience were beautiful. The food was super tasty and I love that the staff was so attentive, kind answered all my kids questions and really made us feel like we were in a welcoming environment. We will definitely return to this restaurant next time we are in Seattle!
