    Interior (11/28/23)
    Marie B.

    I decided to check out Bar Bayonne after a stop at UW Seattle, meandered along Montlake, Capitol Hill, and Central District neighborhoods (11/28/23). Bar Bayonne is adjacent to L'Oursin in Seattle's Central District by Seattle University. I was able to find nearby zoned two hour street parking by Peloton and Mitten Sweets & Coffee. Perfect timing as it just opened at 11am. Note: This is only a 21+ establishment. I'm sure sidewalk seating is pleasant when there's warmer temps and the planter boxes are in bloom. Inside there's ample counter seating or two tops for solo diners like me. Lots of interior touches, natural light, decent playlist while onsite. The menu has Francophile leaning eats & bevs. However, there are fresh baked goods from Temple Pastries, enticing sandwiches, and a seasonal quiche during my first visit. There are also curated wines, cheeses, tinned items, snacks, to name a few featured merch seen. Immediately after I showed up and throughout my one hour onsite, there were others picking up sandwiches to go. After giving a looksee at the refrigerated case, Bar Bayonne's featured selections sure looked delicious! There were also nearby, a pair of ladies who lunch...loved seeing their selection of wine, charcuterie, bread, and a shared Croque Madame over lively, engaging conversation. I, too, had a Croque Madame with a Cafe Noisette. The latter was described to me as a cross between a cortado and cappuccino served with a sugar cube. Two other solo diners opted for the counter, whereas I picked a two top by the floor to ceiling windows. By the time I was wrapping up my visit, a trio sat down and also ordered Croque Madames. I haven't had one since Cafe Presse closed, so I savored this thoroughly. Popular menu items, Croque Madame with egg or Croque Monsieur without. Pleasant, unobtrusive service. I was checked on periodically during my spontaneous detour, before settling my bill to head home, and resume my workday. I look forward to future visits. Definitely recommended!

    Came here for a drink and appetizer before dinner. This is a cute bar tucked away from the noise of Cap Hill. Kind of unassuming from a distance but it's very cute! I can see the French aesthetic and the food looked tasty. We tried the bread & butter. I also tried the Carajillo and my bf tried the drink with spicy Dr Pepper. Literally a Pepper in his drink! Reasonable prices for decent pours. I thought it felt a little chilly inside but ample seating and fast service.

    Highly recommend! Came with two of my counterparts after a long day of travel. We started with the…read morechampagne flight. They were all wonderful. We shared a bunch of plates. Everything was delicious. Especially the lamb chops - super fresh and delicious. We also ordered the lemon blueberry cake. I typically don't prefer lemon desserts but this was SO GOOD! Light and fluffy, almost like a light cheesecake. Service was outstanding. Our server coursed out our food perfectly. He checked on us consistently but was also aware that we were catching up, so he didn't interrupt unless needed. The location is right in the middle downtown and had a great vibe. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Seattle.

    PRE-CRUISE! 4.0…read more A cruise to Alaska is what brought us to Seattle! A day before embarkation, we decided to stay one night downtown, and Purple was conveniently located just across the street from the Fairmont Hotel and within walking distance of several hotels in the area. One of the reasons we chose this restaurant was its selection of vegetarian options, which was especially appreciated by our close friend. The vibe is quite inviting: dark wood and rich décor create a cozy atmosphere, while the tall windows flanking the front and side of the restaurant keep the space feeling open and airy. The bar is definitely the centerpiece of the room, featuring a dramatic two-story circular staircase adorned with hundreds of bottles of wine. We started the evening with a round of cocktails, just getting warmed up for the unlimited drinking that awaited us on the cruise. Our drinks were well crafted and enjoyed by all. For dinner, we had: * House Cut Fries * Beet Salad * Braised Short Rib ~ pappardelle, port cream, blistered tomato and sage * Shiitake & Pesto ~ orecchiette, scallion-cashew pesto, snap peas and Calabrian chili crisp * Bistro Burger ~ pure country beef, sharp white cheddar, crispy onions, black pepper & chive aioli and arugula * Risotto ~ stracciatella, zucchini, maitake mushroom, poblano and basil * Crème Brûlée ~ vanilla bean, turbinado sugar Everything was good; however, the service was even better. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the pacing of the dishes was perfect. Nothing felt rushed, yet we were never left waiting. Purple makes a great date-night spot, but it's equally well suited for gathering with a group of friends or co-workers. It's a lively, happy spot with a welcoming atmosphere; the perfect place to begin a Seattle stay before setting sail for Alaska.

This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!
