Most nights there are 2 bands, one starting at 7 and one at 10PM No cover Sunday-Thursday (tip the band and the bartender!) Regular highlights for me are Hammand Organ Master Joe Doria and Friends on Tuesdays and Funky2Death on Fridays. Other artists/groups have monthly slots--check their schedule online. Battlestar Kalakala, How Now Brown Cow, Dub Lounge International, Hurricane Dreamz, Ron Weinstein Organ Trio and much much more!

The restaurant looked gorgeous and when we sat down we looked over the menu. Everything was tempting so we had (3 total) cocktails, appetizer, dinner, and dessert for just $128! That might sound like a lot but the food was some of the best I've had- top 10 places to go in the western WA area! It's nice and small so it doesn't get too noisy or crowded and makes the service nice and smooth. All the staff is really friendly which seals the deal to make it a great place to impress someone.

The chicken was juicy with every bite and the biscuits and gravy were delicious! Nothing was dry at all. I would go back just for this! The pork verde sandwich (4/5) was good too but nothing to write home about. At $24, I didn't feel like it was worth it.

I hope they label things correctly! Would love to come back.

All the drinks were ordered were quick and tasty. For those that cannot drink beer, they do have Twisted Tea on tap which is somewhat carbonated which is fun, unique and refreshing. Went on a weeknight, and saw that they had Blanton's. May be the cheapest price for a pour of it in town. Since it was only a few bucks more than a standard bourbon and coke, asked for a Blanton's and coke, which got some laughter, good played heckling and jokes from the bartenders. (obviously I corrected myself and did not get it with coke). Pool tables look nice and in good condition. Lines for a table were pretty long, but there was a group for a birthday party there squatting on one of the tables all night. The cook in the back seemed a bit gruff and muttered something at my wife when he was trying to book it back to the kitchen in a crowded bar. Seemed unnecessary, but still, overall the staff was great. Would go back!

Jesse was SO attentive to us. The views were fabulous but the company of Jesse and Devon were top-notch. Charlotte? Was also fabulous.

Took almost an hour to get seated, but we were able to grab some drinks from the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel, which was a nice option. Once we got upstairs it was gorgeous! Lots of great seating options both inside and out. The views of downtown Seattle and Bellevue were EPIC. The staff were very friendly as well! I have to say, for the price the food and drinks weren't at the level I expected. We ordered nachos, crab Rangoon dip, and pretzel bites. The nachos were probably our favorite, but they weren't anything special for $22. The Rangoon dip was mostly cream cheese and barely had any flavor. I think they were depending on the nori chips to bridge the gap, but those didn't taste the greatest. Finally the pretzel bites were okay, but nothing I couldn't get at another gastropub for a much lower price. The drinks were fine, but not that strong. I ordered the Glacier Peak which was beautiful and refreshing. We'll be back for the views and maybe a couple of cocktails, but I'd say if you're bar hopping, spend money on food somewhere else in the area.

We arrived right after happy hour ended but the staff kindly honored the happy hour menu for us, which set a welcoming tone. We shared the papaya salad and boat noodles as starters; both were bright and well-seasoned. For the main course we ordered Lad Nah -- the team thoughtfully served the rice noodles and gravy separately so we could combine them at the table, preserving the noodles' texture instead of letting them go soggy. Timing between dishes was excellent, so sharing felt like a joyful tasting marathon rather than a race to finish plates. Service was accommodating and attentive, the flavors hit the mark, and the dining flow made it easy to sample a variety without overeating. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors with a polished, considerate touch.
