    Steelhead
    Sidney P.

    We had a fantastic meal here. Atmosphere is great-very cozy and comfy! Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. I particularly loved my steelhead entree. This place is top notch!

    This restaurant was right around the corner as we got off the monorail and we thought why not! Didn't realize that the dinner ambiance was a bit more fancy, we were unsure with toddlers in tow. We didn't have a reservation as this was a spur-of-the-moment thing but the host was very cordial and got us seated right away. The server was excellent and thoughtful. He truly understood the need to get the toddlers tended to right away and their food came pretty quickly. He even thought to transfer their food on cool plates so as not to burn their little fingers. The food was very good. Although the dessert was not their strongest suit, we still had a wonderful meal.

    Toast and mimosa
    Anna K.

    Came in for breakfast on a Saturday morning, environment was calm and nice. I had toast and a mimosa and my husband had almond stuffed French toast, the toast was delicious and jam was incredible! The server was so nice. Would 100% return

    Burratta
    Ann L.

    We had an excellent group dinner here while in town for meetings. The Forager cocktail was recommended by our server who didn't steer us wrong. It was pretty too, with fresh herb garnish. We shared some starters and the burrata was particularly good. For my entree, I was thinking about the halibut, but our server cautioned that it tended to be dry, and so I went with the lamb which was excellent. It was tender, flavorful and a generous portion. We shared so e desserts as well, and the gelato was particularly good. The panna cotta and crostini were good as well. Service was excellent. The only quirky thing is that you need a code to get into the restrooms so be sure to get that from the server before heading over there.

    We had dinner (via Oliver's) and brunch the following day - both were delicious. I am sometimes hesitant about hotel restaurants but this one proved to be an exception and stands on its own. For dinner we had the Halibut and the Salmon. Both cooked to perfection. The brunch lox and benedicts were a great way to start the following day.

    We were staying at the Mayflower Hotel in Seattle 2 days before our cruise. The day of our cruise we came downstairs to Andaluca for brunch. We were seated and greeted quickly by our waiter. Coffee was brought to the table and our orders were taken. Breakfast was very good and coffee kept being filled lol . Overall good food and portions and excellent service.

    Very nice hidden gem at the hotel on Olive. We came here for dinner around 5 PM and restaurant quickly got filled with the hotel guests and locals. I was pleasantly surprised with food flavors and quality. Me and my husband took 2 red sangrias, unfortunately they didn't had white sangrias. For starters we shared burrata salad and eggplant and both were very delicious. For main we shared paella and portion size was good and it was enough for both of us. Paella had a good texture and flavors were rich, however seafood was a bit dry (mussels and clams). Service was very good, chef came and talk to us as well as a restaurant manager and we shared our feedback. Overall we had a good experience here and as a downtown locals we will consider this restaurant when we want nice Mediterranean cuisine.

    Roasted Chicken Scramble

    Good was seasoned beautifully - no salt or pepper needed. Ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Portions were a bit small on some items. They did forget one item but service was great. The ambiance was wonderful, intimate, and quiet. Beautiful bar.

    AMAZING FOOD! The service was amazing, same with the ambiance. I got the Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes and the Hot Chocolate and it was very good. The Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes comes with a berry infused butter, cherries, a chopped up chalk bread (I forgot the name), and Maple Syrup. The Hot Chocolate has foam and a heart design on it and was very good. I would go again!

    Thanksgiving 2020 to go kit ($55, not including tax and tip)

    Opting to not travel for the holiday, finding out that many local restaurants were offering prepped Thanksgiving meals was a relief. I've heard great things about Andaluca from co-workers, and finding out they were also offering a Thanksgiving kit provided a perfect opportunity to support local. For $55 (not including tax and tip), their Thanksgiving meal consisted of: herbed turkey breast, turkey confit and gravy, whipped potatoes, roasted root vegetables and braised greens, brussel sprouts with bacon and a creamy mustard sauce, leek bread pudding (so so good), cranberry sauce, squash salad with pomegranate/goat cheese/pecans (a refreshing start to a heavy meal), and lastly a apple pumpkin cobbler. Their website was easy to navigate, and they had several options for times to pick up. The day of, there were two staff members waiting outside and after providing my name they quickly grabbed my order from the restaurant. Pickup was a breeze and took less than 2 minutes. Not only was the food still hot when I got home, but the Andaluca team also included a handwritten holiday card. That added touch and the quality of the food, will definitely have me coming back (I'm also hoping they'll do a kit for Christmas). Thank you, Andaluca team, for being open and providing a holiday meal for those of us away from our families (or not wanting to take on cooking a turkey).

    Quaint little restaurant with extraordinary service. The waiter was so kind and helpful. I felt like he invited us to his home and wanted to share his family secret recipes. The paella was superb. They have been serving this dish without altering the recipe since the restaurant opened many years ago. I also recommend the chocolate lava cake. Will definitely come again! I really want to try their breakfast.

    Turkish apricot waffle! Delicious!

    Came here for an celebration after a graduation at Seattle University…read more The food and service were great! Everyone was friendly. They do not serve any alcohol. We ordered some appetizers for the table to share. Hummus, Salads, etc. I ordered the chicken shawarma as my main. My friend ordered the lamb and beef shawarma.

    OKAY - fair warning - NO BOOZE HERE :(…read more I was meeting four people I had never met before the night before we were all heading off on a 10-day cruise, so the pressure was ON. I had to pick a place everyone would enjoy, and, ideally, somewhere we could actually get a reasonable-hour reservation. After a few rounds of back-and-forth, we settled on this place. It was a bit of a walk from our hotel, but no biggie. The restaurant itself is charming, and the hot, fresh pita breads coming out of the oven were a very good omen. The rest of our party arrived, and we were seated toward the back of the room. At first, I noticed a little door literally right next to our table and thought, "UGH, the bathroom is on top of us." Nope. It was a prayer room. So... fine. Then BAM, the bad news. We wanted to order cocktails, and they don't serve any alcohol. WHOOPS, my bad! But honestly, how often do you come across that scenario? A nice restaurant that takes reservations, has a full dinner menu, and serves absolutely no booze. I clearly missed that detail when I made the reservation. Fortunately, the food more than made up for my cocktail disappointment. It started with the fresh pita and some kind of crack oily/herby dip they served with it. If they sold this stuff by the bottle, I would have bought some. Seriously, it was unbelievable. I could have made a meal out of the bread and dip alone - and who is saying I didn't?. My man and I split a mixed meat platter. I honestly can't remember everything that was on it because I was trying to pay attention to getting to know the people I was about to spend 10 days cruising with. I do remember that everything was quite tasty, well roasted, and that the pork was my favorite. So, come for the food, the fresh pita, and that ridiculously addictive dip. Just know before you go: you will not be ordering a cocktail with dinner. But more good news, is that the bill without alcohol will be cheaper.

    We had an unpleasant experience with the host today. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we asked for…read morea table for 2 and were told it would be ~ 10 minute wait. The host asked us to wait outside and said she would come get us when our table was ready. A family who was already waiting outside was called in shortly after, and we continued waiting. We saw several parties leave and many people come in and get seated right away, so we assumed they had reservations. After waiting about 25 minutes, we went back inside to check on our table. The host told us that we "didn't leave a phone number," even though we were never asked for one and were told to wait outside until she comes get us. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, she complimented my shirt mid-conversation, which felt like she was trying to brush it off. The entire time we were outside, we were the only people waiting, and we even saw her setting up the outside seating as the restaurant got busier. She never once checked in with us or said anything. The food was good, and our service once we were seated was great. Unfortunately, our first interaction with the host left a bad first impression and took away from the overall experience. That's why we're taking off two stars.

I arrived 20 minutes before opening and was first in line. One friend joined me 10 minutes later. At 5pm it was just the two of us, so I asked for a table for 4 and explained that I'd happily order food and drinks for everyone immediately, even though the rest of the group was still fighting the weekday traffic. The hostess refused, so we stepped aside. 2 minutes later our 3rd friend arrived. I asked the group behind us if they minded us getting back in line. They laughed and said it was no problem because they had just had their 3rd person arrive as well. When I got back in line, the hostess deliberately skipped over me and called the next group instead. After seating them, I stopped her and asked for a table for 3. She asked if it would "really" be just 3. At that point I honestly didn't know. Our 4th friend was driving from Everett and had texted that she was stuck in standstill traffic. I said yes, seat the 3 of us. The hostess told us to wait while she seated yet another group, taking the last indoor table. We were then placed outside on a hot day. Despite how the evening started, I did exactly what I'd said I would. We ordered dinner for the entire group, including 2 bottles of wine to avoid inconveniencing them with making drinks. Then, incredibly, the hostess came back to our table and removed the 4th chair to make absolutely sure our last friend couldn't join us if she arrived. It felt petty, unnecessary, and frankly embarrassing. What should have been a joyful reunion became a stressful experience because of one person's rigid and unwelcoming attitude. The food was equally inconsistent. The labneh was extremely sour and came with cold, slightly stale pita. The squid & lamb were overly salty. The kohlrabi with peaches was so aggressively smoky that we left almost the entire dish untouched. The mushrooms were fine. The grilled pork was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The cod was just okay, and the desserts were average. We spent ~$500 for the meal. People don't spend this kind of money just for the food. The price reflects the entire experience, and that's where this restaurant failed. The service felt cold, impersonal, and overly focused on rules instead of hospitality. Rather than making guests feel welcome, the hostess made us feel like a problem she had to manage. I've had warmer, friendlier service at fast food restaurants. I won't be returning, and I took the time to write this review because no meal, especially one marking such a meaningful reunion, should be overshadowed by such an unnecessarily unpleasant welcome.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb. Tip: grab some extra napkins as the wraps can fall apart a bit at the end!

I got a build-my-own saj wrap with the mushroom base saj $6, sumac chicken $7, tomato $1.5, cucumber $1.5, pickled turnip $1, and a side of hot sauce $2. The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side. My partner got the falafel saj wrap which was overall ddcent, but he also found the saj bread quite soggy, yet the falafels were on the dry side.
