      Amazingly good food. Very limited menu but the flavors were perfection. Beautifully crafted cocktails with attention to the slightest flavors influences.
      Food rotation is ever changing and we sat next to a couple who come often and said they love it every time.
      Owners are very kind and helpful in selections.
      The only disappointment of the night was the quality of the steak, very tough for our medium rare preference. Maybe we should have ordered it to medium due to it being a more tough cut, possibly rendering more of the fat? Anyways, I'm still giving it a 5/5 because we had such good food and flavors and portions it didn't detract from our experience too much.
      Get there early, by 6:30 every spot was filled on a Saturday night. Event parking garage nearby but also street parking.

      We visited this spot on Saturday December 14, and while there were some positives, overall, it didn't quite justify the price.

      Pros:
      * The staff was accommodating and got us in without a reservation.
      * Great atmosphere and customer service.
      * The margarita was solid.

      Cons:
      * The Holiday Gin cocktail was a bit one-note.
      * They ran out of hush puppies an hour after opening (we saw others enjoying them from 5:30-6:00, but they were gone just as we got seated -- a big disappointment).
      * The scallops came with bacon (not noted on the menu) and were rubbery and bland.
      * The lamb took over 45 minutes to arrive -- seemed like one cook was handling everything.
      * The burrata salad was underwhelming, just a bed of stems with burrata.
      * Overall, the menu is quite pricey for the quality of the food.

      The place has potential -- the vibes and service are on point -- but the food needs improvement to match the high prices.

      Great bartenders who made drinks custom to preferences. Really fun to sit at the bar. They were out of most dishes when we went due to pride weekend but we ordered what they had - salad and falafels. They were made to order with farm to table ingredients and was absolutely delicious. Loved the vibes as well. Can't wait to try again when more menu items are available.

      Cozy, cute, thoughtful spot for cocktails very close to the climate pledge arena.

      We came here after the Deathcab/Postal Service show.

      Service was really good and the cocktails were really thoughtful.

      Only bummer are the prices: they're kinda high. And the closing time: it's kinda early.

      Still, if you are waiting out traffic after a big show...this is THE place you should be.

      This place charges a $5 per person, FULLY NON-REFUNDABLE reservation fee - meaning that even if your entire group shows up, you pay the fee and it is not deducted from your final bill. I understand charging a deposit that is refunded or deducted from the bill, but I have never heard of a restaurant that keeps this fee whether or not you show up. This was also not clear when I made the reservation (they claim that language was on the site, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't when I booked) and frankly, it feels ridiculous to have paid a $25 fee (5 people) on top of already overpriced food and drinks just to dine here.

      Go somewhere that doesn't charge you a fee for your business.

      We had an hour before a concert at McCaw Hall and stopped in here for a drink since it's so conveniently close. The owner greeted us, and despite being busy, he found us a spot at the bar as soon as he could.

      I loved the tall windows and plants hanging from above the bar. Despite it being a small space, they manage to get a good amount of seating packed in and the wrap around bar is great.

      The rotating craft cocktail menu had lots of delicious sounding drinks. I wasn't drinking that night, so they made me a fantastic mocktail after inquiring what flavors I usually go for. The husband enjoyed one of the daily specials, and we were very intrigued by the upscale food menu. Unfortunately, we'd already eaten, but we have plans to try the food here before our next McCaw Hall concert!

      Drinks - they were good drinks! But the drink menu was pretty small and I was hoping to have a few more options. The one I had was a tad small and ice heavy for the cost (most are around $17) but it was very tasty.

      Service - they were slammed before the Blink-182 concert and there's not much they could do about that. They didn't stop making drinks the whole time we were there. Props to them!

      Ambiance - normally I'd guess it's a chill little place but it was loud and rowdy and warm with the pre-concert crowd and pride letting out across the street. It was very much a lively bar atmosphere, which was fine for pre-show, post-pride drinks, but made it a bit of a wait before we could sit. It was impossible to hear between the four of us though. Probably more cool or intimate vibe on a regular night?

      Meh. Quite tasty happy hour vittles & cocktails looked great...staff is a bit snooty and I definitely did not dig the bartender who routinely ignored me & my senior dad...even when I placed my empty water glass next to the bartender's when he refilled his own... he turned away to put the water pitcher back, and I had to verbally request a refill, twice. I've tended bar and know what it's like to be busy, so I was disappointed to feel essentially ignored.

      Cozy cocktails bar with bar seating. It's pretty expensive like $18 a cocktail but the service is really nice and attentive. They also have a mystery shot for $10, so that's pretty fun! And it actually does taste good and made daily, I think. They also gave my group a small shot of a drink they made!

      I went in on Saturday night for some drinks. Loved the ambiance of this place, it's classy and cozy.
      They have both food and drinks, I didn't try their food but tried a couple of drinks.
      Liked the mixed signals cocktail, would highly recommend that. I am not a fan of alcohol taste, so I asked the bartender if he could make something for me and he made a fruity cocktail with gin, which was so damn good!
      The staff here are welcoming and friendly, I had a great time here. Highly recommend this place!
