    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.

    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. :/

    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!

    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 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.

    Interior

    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.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

It also had cranberry bitters sprinkled on top which added a nice touch. My friend asked the bartender to surprise her with a light and fruity drink and her cocktail also tasted delicious. Overall, a great spot but would be better for small parties.

Well thank you to staff who decided to keep it open because there were few other places open! Dead Line and the sister bar next door both have a few tables but mostly it's the bar ambience/moody academia. We chose to sit by the door and people watch. I got a cherry cider and it was good! We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future. Highly recommend visiting during happy hour from 4-6 pm for 20% off your bill.
