    Burger, fries and Caesar salad.
    Shannon J.

    We are staying in The Sound Hotel and this is their restaurant. It's raining and so we decided to stay in doors. While the food menu is small, the drink menu is quite impressive. We decided to go with their burger, fries, Caesar salad and a local draft beer. The food came out hot, the beer was cold and the service from Theresa was awesome!

    The service was amazing. I went there three times during my stay and was treated very well every time. The food was delicious and the drinks were great too. It's connected to the Sound Hotel by Hilton, and the ambiance was very relaxed. I highly recommend it.

    Scrambled with sausage links

    Hotel restaurant is convenient and has a great staff. Standard breakfast fare and no questions asked or resistance to me swapping out the breakfast potatoes for extra sausage---at no additional charge! Thanks!

    BLTA sandwich and Bloody Mary

    I'd give it 3.5 stars... Service was friendly, our waitress was very sweet but boy was it SLOW. It took us awhile to get a server's attention to order when we came in on a rainy day at 11:15. Apparently breakfast is not served past 11:00 and the chef cannot accommodate breakfast items. Oh well! My coworkers and I proceeded to all order the same thing- BLTA and a cup of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious!! All three of us enjoyed it very much except where they forgot the $2 added cheddar cheese on one of the sandwiches, oops to the chef. Then came the 3 cups of tomato basil. Yeah.... So I think the chef had a heavy hand with the salt and omg it was so unbearably salty none of us could have any of it. We kindly notified the server and she took it off the bill which was very nice. We had only 1-2 spoons to try the soup. Nope, sodium level would have peaked over. Other than that little bit, brunch was quite nice. Overall, the atmosphere is great with comfy seats, plenty of different seating and a very friendly waitress. I'll be back for another BLTA sandwich for sure!

    This was tasty and well-priced but not anymore

    First time couple times I went, I enjoyed my meal and everything about the visit. But the last couple times, service has been very slow to the point that we ended up leaving because we were being ignored. Most recently, I stopped in for dessert. The chocolate cake wasn't fresh and neither were the chocolate sticks. Also, they got rid of the lunch salad that I liked and raised the prices. Hmm.. higher prices for worse service is not a combo I enjoy. Started as 3 stars, dropped to 2 as I typed. :-(

    The Monte Cristo had an interesting twist with mustard, gave it a Cuban feel. Not the Bennigan's Monte Cristo we all crave! :) Service was ok, bar backs were better than general service staff. Didn't seem particularly well run. Menu lacked. Stayed at hotel, and was on a tight schedule, otherwise I'd have gone elsewhere... probably should have. :/

    French Toast & Avocado Toast
    Caleb A.

    Not worth the price! $45 for French toast and avocado toast. The avocado toast taste was amazing, but a single piece of toast and one hard boiled egg was more of a side dish than a full meal. The French toast was completely dry. It didn't appear to have been soaked egg wash or possibly just taken from the buffet then reheated and sprinkled with powder sugar. After eating one piece I wanted to send it back, but unless there is a hair in my food I am not that type of person. $45 is ok for "two meals", but I would have expected larger portions and them to sprinkle a few berries on the French toast. If it isn't going to taste good make it look good.

    This restaurant is connected to the sound hotel but is also open to the public. I was a guest at the hotel and after returning from a day of exploring Seattle just wanted a quick bite. Luckily I arrived around happy hour time. It wasn't very crowded so there were plenty of seats to select from. I noticed that the prices for happy hour were not that significantly different than the normal prices. Usually happy hour has at least half off but both the drinks and the food were only a couple of dollars discounted. The salmon pate was tasty and paired nicely with the white wine. The decor of the restaurant is cool and trendy and comfortable.

    Bagel & Lox

    We stayed at the Sound Hotel upstairs for 3 nights and dined here almost everyday. Everything was pretty good (except for the flatbread) - definitely better than your average "hotel food".

    I love to grab a quick one here before a movie at SIFF (Cinerama). Just had a Manhattan and my friend a lemon drop that were perfectly balanced, mixed by Denise!

    Interior
    Jenny Z.

    Cute vibey interior. Friendly staff! Ordered at the counter for takeaway between a couple meetings and was a seamless experience. Prices are high. $20 for a deconstructed lox sandwich and $4 for two eggs. But that's to be expected in downtown seattle at hotel bar. Wish eggs came with a biiiit more and also the salmon could have been more fresh. Seemed it was just taken out of fridge and maybe not totally thawed out or something. Cream cheese was almost whipped. Enjoyed that! 3.5 for the food but rounding up to 4 bc experience was good! (Plus look at the baby hot sauces they gave.)

    Mac and Cheese (a bit dry probably from sitting under a heat lamp too long)
    Jennifer M.

    This could be 5 stars... The flavor of the food was on point (5stars) but it was served cold (2stars). So that averages out to three stars for me. Our server was AWESOME, location is great and ambience is fantastic so went with 4 stars. I'm would definitely try it again in hopes of it being served at least warm food, because the food was so good. The potential is there.

    I guess it must be due to currant bistro coming out of the covid pandemic - wasn't exactly thrilled with both their happy hour and regular dinner menus as they are full of vegetarian dishes (needless to say, their menus are quite ideal for vegetarians and vegans, but prosciutto and seafood are the only options for protein food items for meat & seafood diners). Service by the bartender was pretty nice and it was his service was what made my dining experience worthwhile. Just wish my manhattan was a bit better.

The whole space has this intimate, luxurious atmosphere that makes the experience feel special the moment you walk in. We tried the Japanese Breakfast, which is a savory cocktail and such a pleasant surprise. It genuinely has miso soup notes. It's very unique and creative. I also had El Boho (flavorful but not overly sweet). The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable when it comes to recommending drinks. The prices are on the higher end, but personally I think they're totally worth it for the creativity and overall experience.

For one, the bar service was mediocre for my $26 cocktail. I get more conversation from the bartenders at the Red Onion.... And because they bartender wasn't paying attention, he forgot to put our food order in....probably didn't need it anyway, I need to diet. And then we get the check and they automatically add 22%...if you are a quality establishment offering exceptional customer service, you don't need to tell me what to tip...guess you are not. And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

We arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait for our seats to be ready as the other party was still there. It's quite small on the inside, and I think it only seats maybe 16 people at max?

My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!
