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.

Benedict
Sondra Z.

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.

All American breakfast

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.

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!

Roasted Chicken Scramble
Stacey K.

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.

Menu

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.

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

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).

Turkish apricot waffle! Delicious!

Lola, a Tom Douglas restaurant is amazing. I have not been to this place for a long time. I'm…read moreglad I did tonight. I am so glad it has continued to have great food and service. Ambiance is awesome! Lots of people so make your reservations like us. We ordered a shared appetizer - pita bread and all 6 kinds of toppings hummus, tzatziki, and all they offer. Each one of us had an entree ranging from lamb burger, chicken, mushroom and lamb kebabs - all so good. It was so tender and tasty. Enough to fill us. Love it! So good! Kebabs were served on a hot plate. Nice presentation. Service was outstanding. Good attentive service .

This is a lively place, always filled with a lot of upscale looking customers. So the atmosphere is quite loud, but fun in a buzzing way. We were seated quickly, as we had reservations. Our server Charlie, was engaging, friendly and on top of things. We ordered the shared dips---olive tapenade, eggplant, hummus, tatziki with some warm pita triangles. They're all good and a fun way to start the dinner. We each had kebabs---lamb, chicken and mushroom. All good, moist and tender all poured with a jig of ouzo on a hot skillet. The onions in the bottom get browned and crusty, so good to eat. One had a lamb burger which looked juicy and served with delicious mound of fries sprinkled with rosemary. Food here has always been awesome. Skipped dessert as we had homemade cookies to eat at our next stop.

Highly recommend the three dip (current seasons is beet and it's my fav) with the flat bread. The flat bread comes out steaming. Trumpet mushroom is Smokey and juicy. Lamb comes in braised form and kebab both really good The soft serve swirl has the perfect texture and flavor. Would come back again!

We arrived on a Friday night at roughly 7:30 and there was already quite a wait. For a table for 3,…read morewe were told we'd have to wait for about 2.5 hours which we honestly were not thrilled to do. However after we expressed that we didn't want to wait that long, we were told that if we wanted outdoor seating they could actually seat us in less than half an hour. We chose the outdoor seating option and took a quick stroll in the quiet neighborhood before coming back. Our server told us that Homer's plates are meant to be family style and shared so their general recommendation is 1 large plate or 2 small plates per person. For us, we ordered the Set of top 3 spreads, lamb ragu on tahini and we were served with 5 pieces of warm pita. We also ordered Grilled Pork with Stinging nettles, raw albacore tuna with taramasalata, and smoked and shaved kohlrabi. Our server warned us that the pork was going to be on the fatty side but we were still surprised by how fatty it was. The spreads for the pita were amazing as usual-- their seasonal flavors taste amazingly fresh. Our table wanted to order more pita and when someone came by to take the empty plate they asked if we wanted more which we did let them know but even by the time we finished all the plates, we never got the additional pita so we just took it off. The Kohlrabi was an amazingly refreshing palette cleanser before the pork-- super light and refreshing. After we finished our meal we grabbed some soft serve from the window and wow, for 7$ it's quite a lot of ice cream! The flavors that were offered when we were there was Dark Chocolate and Kettlekorn. I sampled the swirl and the fusion of the saltiness of the kettle korn, the slight bitter and sweetness of the dark chocolate was immaculate. Final thoughts: very cool experience, inside I could see the open kitchen and the stone wood fired oven and the ingredients tasted amazing. However it is a little inconvenient that it's walk in unless you're a party of 6 since the lines and wait can get incredibly long. It's also difficult to find parking in the area. Very neat experience!

From looking at the menu, I haven't seen too many of the items listed offered here in Seattle. This…read morewas exciting to me as I enjoy food from the Middle Eastern part of the world, and the entrees do look very enticing! We went on a Saturday around 2pm and it wasn't too busy at the takeout window. The restaurant is only takeout - there are benches right next to the takeout window, but there are only enough spots for 8 - 12 people (2-3 people per bench). The only other seating is at the nearby street seating offered by the neighboring bars, which I can see being restricted during peak hours. Parking can be very difficult if you plan on driving, there is only street side parking that is usually full, and nearby paid parking in lots. Service is fast, after we got our order, we only waited 5-8 minutes for our food. We got their recommended Soujouk (Beef) and Cheese Wrap for $16. The wrap is long, I would say about 13 - 14 inches long, and I can definitely seeing most people getting full after enjoying one of these. The flavors are nice and you can taste the spices from the sausage - I could taste cinnamon front and center with other earthy spices lingering in an aftertaste. The wrap is very decadent, the cheese is hearty and indulgent and that with the spiced sausage and textural difference with the cucumbers is pleasing. Do note with how indulgent this wrap is, you will accumulate a ton of oil in your wrapper as you enjoy it - a nap afterwards is in your future if you eat a whole wrap! I think that Yalla Seattle is a good stop to try these cuisines in a casual manner and the price is reasonable. There are some other items on the menu that kept my attention and I would totally revisit to try the other items offered by this restaurant.

The batinjan (eggplant) and labneh wrap here has now taken its place in my pantheon of best…read moreeggplant bites I've ever had. Yalla is a walk up window, and there are just a couple of benches right outside where you can eat, and according to other reviews you can also go to Montana Bar next door with your food. The menu is posted in a couple places right next to the ordering window, and it's pretty easy to parse. Almost everything there is what I'd consider a "portable food", meaning something you don't need a plate, fork, and knife to eat, which makes sense given that it's not a sit down restaurant. They have veggie saj, meaty saj, mezze, a few sides, and a dessert. I really like their concise menu. We tried the baba ghanoush ($9.5), which comes with saj on the side, a batinjan and labneh saj wrap ($12), and a halloumi grilled cheese (halloumi grilled inside saj, $13). As you can tell, the saj underpins everything at Yalla, and their saj is excellent. Warm, soft, flaky, and tearable, it is perfect for both dipping and wrapping and grilling. The batinjan and labneh wrap is bursting (literally) with tender grilled eggplant, a rich sauce, and tangy, creamy labneh. It is truly one of the most delicious eggplant dishes I've ever had. The halloumi grilled cheese definitely hits the spot, and is more filling than you think by looking at it. Baba ghanoush is so smooth and flavorful, and I love the pomegranate seeds on top! The folks who work there are super nice, very friendly, and food comes out quickly. Prices are very reasonable, and I will definitely be back to try some of their meaty saj! This place is going into my regular rotation, for sure.
