This is my 3rd or 4th happy hour since the pandemic. There is definitely way more crowded at my usual 4 pm visit to the bar. No more drink specials for HH and the food offering continues to change. It is still great. I always have the tuna tartare and change up on the meat dishes. I have had marrow, marrow fried, and steak bites. All delicious. My least favorite thing I have ordered from the menu is the blue crab wrap. Not a fan of the sauce but without it, it was a little bland. read more

Just an excellent restaurant! I was a little bummed that they were out of the Eagle rare 10 year when we visited! The server made a suggestion that was a decent exchange. My friend got the old fashioned and said it was perfect. You can't beat the ambiance and the view! The tables around us kept getting smoky cocktails which caused quite a stir! Our server was wonderful, she was patient as we took a while to place our order. Our salad came out quickly, and was delicious, I even got one to go to eat the next day. I got the scallops which were delicious, although the risotto it came with was a bit bland. My friend got the filet and said it was delicious, my husband said the crispy cauliflower was exceptional. I became a member of the reveler club at my last visit and loved being able to use my points for my meal! One thing they didn't explain was that the points can't be used for the service fee or taxes, which I had to inquire about, if the server would let people know that upfront it would be helpful as it caused some confusion. The hostess was able to help me figure it out though. Great restaurant! read more

Wow, wow, wow. The view, the staff, the food, cannot say enough about this place! Ambiance (10/10) - PRIME Seattle real estate. Beautiful views that you can see all throughout the restaurant. Staff (10/10) - Super friendly, offer great recommendations, and anyone is willing to help! Our order: - Citrus Marinated Beets - Really tasty! Every bite was crisp and earthy. - Bread & Butter - Honestly, the bread is kinda like cake, which I am not mad about! Seriously delicious with a creamy butter spread. - Tandoori Fried Chicken - DELICIOUS! I would recommend this to everyone! Only wish there was more sauce to go around! - Broccolini - Perfectly cooked and a decent sized portion. If you're looking for Seattle with a view, snag a reservation at Aerlume! read more

FANTASTIC service! truly above and beyond and delicious food and beautiful views. really enjoyed a patio meal here during a quick trip to seattle. read more

The food was superb. Presented so beautifully and tasted even better. It was our first time here and we absolutely loved it and plan on coming back. The service was 10/10. And one of my favorites things about this restaurant is for it being upscale food, you don't have to dress in a suite and tie affair. It was nice to wear casual, but nice clothing and still have the same amazing experience as a high end restaurant. Oh and I can't forget the views from every seat in the house!! You won't regret having a dinner here, 10/10!!!! read more

Wow! It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant and walked out thinking, "This was excellent!" But, I kept repeating that throughout the night. Admittedly, I came with low expectations because the last time we visited (over a year ago) was for happy hour, which was just so-so. But this time, we had out of town guests and thought Aerlume would be a great spot given the view. Fortunately, we decided to order family style for our group of 6, so we got to try a little bit of everything. We got: Apps: CITRUS MARINATED BEETS 16 DUNGENESS CRAB LETTUCE WRAPS* 38 YELLOWFIN TUNA POKE* 20 Mains: HERITAGE BERKSHIRE FARMS PORK SHANK 45 BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN* 36 SEARED SEA SCALLOPS* 59 Desserts: BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING 13 ETON MESS 13 CARROT CAKE 13 Everything was delicious! My favorites from each round were the lettuce wraps, pork shank, and eton mess. The lettuce wraps came with a generous portion of crab, the pork shank was super tender, and I loved all the fruit with the eton mess. I would order everything again except for the scallops and butterscotch pudding. The scallops were fine, and my uncle who loves scallops really liked this dish. But, you only get 3 scallops, so the $20/scallop price point was steep to me. (Note: I'm not a huge fan of scallops, so this isn't something I would normally order--maybe this price point is normal.) There were too many flavors going on in the butterscotch pudding. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order it again, because there are other great dessert options. In addition to the plates listed above, we also got a bottle of wine, 3 coffees, and 1 tea; our total before tax and tip was $373. For a nice dinner for a group of 6, I think the price is fair. We left very full! And, if we knocked off the two least favorite dishes of the night (scallops and butterscotch pudding) we still would've been full. All in all, the food and service was excellent, and you cannot beat the view. This is high on my list of nice restaurants to return to. I'm already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Aerlume, for such a memorable night! read more

Aerlume - Black cod - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

our server was attentive. my martini in a coupe was about half full- unacceptable for the price - and where most martinis have ice on the pond this was a bit better than room temp. maybe sat too long? Pork was ok but my mom makes better- beet salad recommended but seriously a plate of chopped beets. Brussels sprouts deep fried to unedible. My husbands filet was ok but again if he grilled himself would have more flavor. So disappointed - we couldn't even hear each other because of the set up so noisy. how it got on top 10 Romavtic in Seattle is beyond me. great view of piers with a perk of Mt Rainer. for the $$$$$ we would not go again. sorry to say read more

Aerlume - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Gorgeous view, lovely decor, good food. Service is way too slow. I got the rosemary brioche bread for my appetizer - underwhelmed by it. For the main course - the garden special (vegetarian) was tasty. The grilled cauliflower should be served with a steak knife though because I couldn't cut the stems with the dinner knife. For dessert I got the carrot cake with pistachio ice-cream. Sooo delicious!!! My biggest gripe would be that it took way too long for the waiter to take my order and bring out each item (even the bread!). Worth visiting for sure though...even if only for the view and ambience! read more

Nothing but a delightful experience, truly! Service was phenomenal, drinks amazing, views stunning, food DELICIOUS. We had the octopus appetizer, it was my partner's first time trying octopus and he was obsessed and commented he'd get that as an entree. The herbs with it were so refreshing and the sausage was a perfect salty compliment. I had the black cod and my partner had halibut. My cod was to die for, actually the best black cod preparation that I've ever had. It was soft and buttery with a crispy skin. The sauce was so yummy. My partner loved his fish as well. Our drinks were unique and delicious. We were lucky to be sat at a window table during sunset - it felt special. I can't wait to bring my family here when they visit. read more

Wonderful place to celebrate life with those you cherish. We felt cared for from the moment we walked in. Rose petals with a happy anniversary card on our table was a nice touch. For appetizers, the grilled octopus and Dungeness crab lettuce wrap was outstanding. From the rotating main dishes, we chose the black cod which was moist and flavorful. The porterhouse pork was juicy and generous in size. Topped off the meal with a delicious large wedge of carrot cake. Our server was so friendly and accommodating. With a beautiful view of the sound and the setting sun, we truly celebrated our blessed marriage. read more

The only con in my opinion is the shared building bathroom that is not very nice read more

Went here last weekend with my husband to celebrate our anniversary, they had rose petals and a card set out which was nice touch. The ambience and view is absolutely incredible, service was good too. Unfortunately the food was awful, so bland and no flavor at all. We are not super picky, but it was pretty disappointing. Would return for maybe a drink on their patio but would definitely not eat here again. read more

Celebrated my birthday here. It was pretty nice. We liked how polite and nice the staff was and the food was very good! The interior is nice too. They do have seats with the view, but I guess they are reserved for either special occasions or people get to book these tables somehow. Overall, a nice place to have a dinner. Pricy. read more

We had a dinner with another couple at Aerlume for the first time on Saturday Evening, July 27th. I always go into restaurants with eyes wide open - and given a couple of poor reviews, was not sure what to anticipate. Parking was easy - right underneath the restaurant and PLENTIFUL! Easy elevator ride to the restaurant. The entry to Aerlume is beautiful - as is the view once you get through the glass doors. We were immediately greeted in a friendly manner - and seated right away. The service, drinks, meals, suggestions of pairing, etc. was "spot on" and fantastic. There are posts that shared that the food was bland - We absolutely did not experience that. Every meal and shareable that we had was great - We had the bread & butter, citrus marinated beets, Peruvian Steak Bites, Spanish Octopus, Tuna Poke, and the cauliflower. I guess almost all of the shareable starters. They were all excellent. For the main courses, we had the Alaskan Black Cod, the Goat Cheese Agnolotti, and the Sea Scallops. We even had a couple of the desserts to share - Carrot Cake with Pistachio Ice Cream (amazing) and the Cheesecake. EVERY meal was fantastic - as was the service. Attentive, yet allowed for private conversations. We had wine, a couple of the Pike Place Sippers, and the Manhattan. Also, all very good. If I was being picky (and doesn't seem like it so far) - the meal was in fact expensive, but we contributed to that by ordering a ton of plates! Also, we had reservations, but not the best view seats for the four of us. Not terrible views - but not the best either. I guess not everyone can have the best views! Overall, a wonderful evening (made even more special by the venue and Aerlume team) - and we will definitely return! read more

Lovely, lively spot with great sound view, fabulous food and service. Clearly a hot spot for local up and comers!

I'd give Aerlume 3.5 out of 5 stars... I ended up at a 3 since I couldn't quite justify 4 stars based on overall experience/price. I made an online dinner reservation for a family birthday celebration on a Saturday evening in spring. It ended up being a gorgeous evening, which was perfect given the view of the sound! They placed a happy birthday note on our table as well as a handful of flower petals, which was thoughtful. There wasn't any outdoor seating at the time, although we got one of the better tables near the deck. Thank you! For drinks I went with the Miles Away cocktail ($18). This pretty little number included chamomile-infused blanco tequila, italicus, verjus (the pressed juice of unripened grapes), chamomile simple syrup, and fresh strawberries, served up in a coupe. It was tasty, although a tad sweet for me. I did enjoy it though, don't get me wrong! I would recommend if you gravitate towards fruity/floral adult beverages. $18 is a bit steep for this drink, although I suppose you're paying for the view. Side note: "Italicus delivers fresh tones of ripe Bergamot, balanced with a light bitter and floral spice. Bergamot is a citrus fruit, and is often associated with Early Grey tea." You learn something new every day! Now for the food. Through the reservation system I was able to specify dietary restrictions for each guest, which was pretty awesome! (In theory.) They had a lot of categories to choose from. For my sister and I, vegan/plant-based, and I also need to avoid alliums... I know, I know, a real pain in the bum. Anywho I was expecting our server to be aware of this but it seemed like my notes were not in fact noted. No worries, we mentioned these factors to our server, who wasn't the most helpful either. We made due, but I was expecting a little more effort/genuine enthusiasm, especially at a nicer establishment (the tip is included in the bill). I ended up going with the Farm Greens ($14) to start, minus the pecorino. This fresh salad was comprised of pickled ramps, carrots, cucumbers, watermelon radish, and a red wine vinaigrette. It was pretty good, nothing spectacular but I enjoyed it enough. At the end of the Large Plates menu section, "Vegetarian Feature" ($28) is listed as an option. The vegan option ended up being the same, minus the cheese. My plant-based main included roast cauliflower, fennel, tomato, herbs, lentils?? and a sauce of sorts. It was indeed healthy, although I would have enjoyed a lemony tahini sauce spooned on top for more flavor/moisture. After a salad and more veggies I definitely left feeling good at least! So there was ample room for carrot cake he he. My family members thought their dishes were okay. Some were definitely better than others. I do love the plates everything was served on! And the overall presentation was appealing too. The ambiance is modern and bright with a side of special occasion and business gathering, if that makes sense. I'd come back again if a friend/date/family member wanted to dine here, although there are more casual, affordable spots I'd rather frequent for the food. read more

Aerlume, located alongside the water near Pike Place Market in Downtown Seattle, offers an extensive selection of new American dishes, cocktails, and wine. The outdoor dining area is heated and covered, with a beautiful water view that offers a lovely experience even in the winter rain and cold. 1) Service (+): Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. There is both heated and covered outdoor dining and indoor dining. We made an outdoor reservation for a weekday evening. 2) Ambience (+): I love the modern, romantic, and cozy vibe of the restaurant - complete with glass fire pits - that the restaurant was even able to replicate outdoors. 3) Food (+): We shared a smorgasbord of appetizers like the grilled Spanish octopus (with green hummus, lamb sausage, and yuzu chimichurri sauce), and Dungeness crab lettuce wraps (with crispy shallots and chilis in a Thai red curry citrus vinaigrette). For the large plates, we shared the grilled king salmon (with caramelized mushrooms, roasted sweet potato and squash, with yuzu chimichurri sauce), Niman Ranch grass fed New York strip (a large 14oz cut of meat with fennel chutney and rosemary and duck fat roasted potatoes), and a side of sauteed foraged mushrooms. All the food was beautiful and amazing! 4) Alcohol/Drinks (+): There is a very large selection of cocktails and wines. I had the deliciously fruity Aviation, a boozy and citrisy concoction of gin, creme de violette, lemon juice and maraschino liqueur. 5) Value for Money (-): While the food and drinks were deliciously exquisite, the prices are very high for the quality and portion size with appetizers in the $20-$40 range, large plates from $30-$70 and cocktails for $14-$18. read more

We ate here for a birthday dinner this weekend and the food was very underwhelming. I was here last year for another dinner and we had a 10/10 experience so it was a bit disappointing to have recommended it to the group and no one really left satisfied. We ordered bread & butter , Peruvian steak bites, 3 orders of fried chicken, and 2 of the filet mignon & a variety of drinks. The good : The Peruvian steak bites definitely took the win, very tender and flavorful. We ordered cucumber fresh mock tails, IPAs & Rose which were all good. The staff did keep refilling our waters frequently which was nice, host was nice and greeted us with a smile. Also the view 10/10 it was pleasant to see the view during sunset with the windows open. The Bad : Presentation & quantity wise it was great but the food was lacking in flavor. The whole entire party agreed the food was okay but for the prices I think it should be better than an okay/good. Took a while to get our food but I'm assuming it was because we were a party of 6, it did take a while to get our bread and butter though. The bread comes with two types of breads, and the first two slices were good and the rest of the bread tasted like warmed up stale bread we should've returned it but we all tried a piece and basically it was all gone at that point so I didn't think it was appropriate to complain if it was all gone. The chicken texture wasn't what I expected from fried chicken and tasted gamey and definitely under seasoned.We did let our waitress know, and it was comped for so that was good. The filet mignon was around 70, and the best part of their dish was the mashed potatoes. Best part should've definitely been the steak itself at least. Bill came around to a little under 500 and we all left dissatisfied with the food overall and we ended up spending extra money eating elsewhere after. There may be off days for restaurants but with those prices I think they need to make sure their food is at least seasoned. read more

Seated on the north end of Pikes place, this restaurant delivers great views of the water and surrounding scenery. The service is inline with quality that you would expect from top tier Seattle dining. The menu is simple but what it lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. The salmon, scallops and steak items were all best in class. The entrees are preceded by fantastic appetizers and an extensive selection of premium libations. read more

My fiancé and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary here tonight. I had made a reservation for 5 pm but were in the area early so we figured we would swing by early and see if they could get us in, which they did. When they seated us, the table was set up with a nice acknowledgment of our anniversary along with some fresh flower petals. The view of the water amazing from our seat. Matt was our server and was excellent all night. He was very informative of the menu and the allergies that each dish could trigger, which made it nice for my fiancé since she has a small handful of them. We started out with the poke and the flavor/presentation was phenomenal. The gentleman that prepared it was very friendly and hospitable. I didn't catch his name but he mentioned he used to manage the El Gaucho in Tacoma. When our entrees came out, we were thoroughly impressed. My pork was some of the best, if not best, pork I've ever had. My finance said her scallops were absolutely amazing. We WILL be returning here and are looking very forward to it. I can't wait to tell family and friends about Aerlume so they can experience it too! read more

Had an incredible dinner here! Read on for all the details! First off, the ambiance was a 5/5 experience. The lighting was dim which was perfect for an intimate dinner. We had a view of the Great Wheel. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The food was a 4.5/5 experience. Cocktails: Lost in the Market: 5/5 loved this drink! I like lavender so the lavender syrup was great. This cocktail was a touch on the sweet side. I did order 2 more though. Appalachian Fog: 5/5 this drink came with table side preparation which included a really cool fog. The cherry wood chip aroma was not too strong. This cocktail was delicious. Smoky but sweet. Starters: Essential Bread and Butter: 2/5 Very underwhelming. We expected the brioche bread to be soft, but it was sort of stale tasting. The pairing with the cranberry fig butter didn't work for us. Considering that you pay for the bread, I was expecting more. Peruvian Steak Bites: 5/5 cooked to perfection! The steak was very tender and paired beautifully with the tanginess of the anticucho sauce. Grilled Spanish Octopus: 5/5 the octopus was cooked perfectly and was very tender! Loved the yuzu chimichurri but could've done without the green hummus. Dungeness Crab Lettuce Wraps: 3/5 presentation was messy. Overwhelming dill flavor. Thai red curry citrus vinaigrette did not pair well. Random spicy chili's scattered. Beet Salad: 5/5. We loved this salad! The goat cheese was a lovely addition to this salad. Large Plates: C.A.B. Filet Mignon: 10/5 Our favorite menu item by far! I still think about the king trumpet mushroom. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. I would go back for this dish alone. Sides: Garlic Chili Oil Brussel Sprouts: 1/5 these were beyond charred/burned. Our waiter substituted this item for the mushrooms side. Sautéed Foraged & Cultivated Mushrooms: 5/5 Highly recommend this side of you like mushrooms and have an appreciation for foraged mushrooms. Lemon-Chili Spinach: 5/5 great side! Not spicy for us. Desserts: Carrot Cake: 4/5 it was a good carrot cake, pretty basic. Pumpkin Cheesecake: 4/5 not too sweet! At this point we were beyond stuffed. read more

I don't even know where to begin, this place is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in Seattle! The restaurant itself is stunning, with floor-to-ceiling views of the bay, an outdoor patio setting with fire pits, and an open-kitchen experience where you can watch your meal be prepared. Our server was phenomenal. Despite the restaurant being packed, we never went without a beverage refill or a recommendation from their menu. My friend and I are foodies, so we wanted to try as much as possible. For appetizers, we tried the grilled octopus: 10/10, the most delicious and tender octopus I've ever had and the lamb sausage was amazing; we also had the Dungeness crab lettuce wraps: 4/10, I was not a fan of the bitterness of the radicchio and thought the sauce was lacking citrus and/or a more unctuous fattiness; the farm greens (8/10) were fantastic, I loved the addition of the citrus beets, it brightened the dish up tremendously. For our entrée we tried the C.A.B. Filet Mignon: 10/10 the meat was perfectly tender and the trumpet mushrooms were caramelized to perfection! The mashed potatoes and demi glace I could drown myself in and it would not be enough. Highly recommend! The Goat Cheese Cappelletti: 6/10 the filling of the pasta was delicious, but ours was slightly undercooked- however, the flavors made up for that. For dessert, we had the blood orange cheesecake (10/10) and the chocolate crunch bar (8/10); I'm normally a chocolate girl, but the blood orange cheesecake stole. the. show! It was light and delicate, yet rich and luxurious. If there's one thing you should get while here, it's that! Overall, my experience at this restaurant was out of this world! From the outstanding service to the creative and delicious food and drinks, I cannot recommend this place enough. Well worth the money, a phenomenal place to treat yourself for a special occasion. read more

We just finished dining here for the first time and we were overall quite impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor. The service was alright, definitely not as good as the food. I was disappointed in our service, our waitress was a little cold and towards the end I asked if the $25 reward could be applied as I just signed up and she said "yes of course!" Then proceeded to charge my card the full amount. I said, "I thought the $25 was going to be applied?" She said, "oh no not if you just signed up. It's for next time." Which is what we initially thought, and makes complete sense- but when I had literally just told her I had just signed up and she said it would work I was then a little annoyed. Then she very rudely said "well there's nothing I can do. We can't apply it. Anything else?" Didn't offer to ask her manager for an exception since it's clearly just a misunderstanding. Luckily, before we left I asked to speak to a manager and he apologized for her behavior and applied the discount. That's literally all she had to do. Anyways, we will definitely be back in fact I plan on coming back with my parents for my birthday in a month. Food was expensive but not anymore than other nice restaurants. The view was gorgeous and I love the ambiance of the restaurant, very nice aesthetically. I'd definitely say give it a shot if you're considering! Closest place to Ascend (in Bellevue) in terms of food and views. They could learn a thing or two about the service from Ascend though ;) read more

It pains me to write this review. The reason why I say this because the reviews seemed so great. Restaurants can have an off day such as lack of staff, overbooking or low on some menu items but my experience were none of these things. This place is very beautiful and great location. When we arrived it seemed that we didn't really dress "the part." My husband and I was walking around the city and it was a late dinner choice. This place definitely had a vibe - basically you can't look broke to eat here. We were dressed very casually but not sloppy but it was noticed by the manager. We were sat near the entrance with a view to the kitchen and bar. The waitress we had was great. We noticed the manager coming by and looking around and checking our table. We did have 2 other guests that sat near by but less than 2 minutes later decided it wasn't for them. Hmm... suspect if you ask me. Eventually the manager came up to us and asked if we don't mind moving because they need the table for a "bigger party." The table he provided was in the back in a corner next to the door that leads to outside patio. We sat there for additional 30 minutes and realized the table was never even used. I wondered, was I moved because I'm latina and I don't fit their mode of those dining there? Do I need to show up with straight hair and fancy clothes and purses to eat at this establishment? I felt that this place lacked the understanding of diversity and inclusion it created an environment that ruined my dining experience. I felt so judged - that when my meal finally came out an hour later I could not eat it. I was disgusted by their actions and the treatment I received. Even after waiting this long for food my husband's his meal was done incorrectly. My husband did go back to the manager more than once to fix our dining experience, but at this point we we're done. The manager apologized and he literally said " I'm sorry , I don't know what to do for you but offer a free meal." But why would I stay and eat a meal at a place that makes you feel less than human? We walked out hungry and finding another place that is worth supporting. What they need to do is create an action plan of implementing a equality, inclusion and diversity training to their staff especially with management. This was not the way we wanted to celebrate our 18 year anniversary in the city. read more
