Espresso martini from the Terrance bar

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.

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!

Scrambled with sausage links
Shawn F.

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
Tien N.

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
Bill C.

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.

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!

Bagel & Lox
Judy K.

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".

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.

Deep Dive is my favorite cocktail bar in Seattle. The decor is incredible: Very speakeasy vibes,…read moreand every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. 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. This is the spot I bring all my out-of-town friends to because the ambiance, vibes, and drinks are just that good. Truly one of Seattle's gems.

I've been looking forward to visiting the bar for weeks. Finally got a time and reservation time I…read morepreferred was available. We arrive and get seated. The First Gentleman was attentive and we got our drinks and an appetizer timely. We ordered our second appetizer with our first server and thats where the service deteriorated. I could hear the table next to us ordered the exact same appetizer as we did 10-15 mins after we did and a new server who must had just clocked in brings them the order literally within 2-3 mins later and the male commented, "oh that was fast" and I thought to myself they got our order. Another 10-15 mins go by and I had to ask "do you know how long our order will take to which she seemed to get annoyed. It could have my energy because by that time I was annoyed. I'm not sure what happened to our original server but he must have gotten off. About 5-10 mins goes by and here it comes. That confirmed the table next to us got our order because of how long it took. They never apologized for their mistake. Doing all that time they never came back to see if we would like another drink. I had to flag someone down. The clincher was we got our bill and there was 22% service charge. That was on me because if I would have seen it I might not have gone. I'm not a fan of automatically charging a service charge. I'm a great tipper but it must be earned. By than I was really annoyed and thought to have a conversation with the manager but let it go. I would not go back. The craft cocktails are spendy but I had no problem with that because they're creative and they earned it by being creative. But the energy and the environment wasn't like the other speak easy bars I visited. It was boring and to top it off the service charge of 22% and the service that came with it sealed it for me. Make sure to read the website on their thought around the 22%.

Pioneer Square

I live and work downtown, and Dead Line has been my go-to spot since they opened. At this point,…read moreit's basically one of my top 5 favorite spots in Seattle. When the city reopened in 2021, I was eating here almost every day; partly because of convenience, but mainly because the food and service never miss. I've hosted everything here: birthday celebrations, after-work hangs, and dinners with friends and colleagues. Every single time, it's a hit. People walk in, fall in love with the vibe, and walk out talking about the food. The consistency is unreal. They even order food to go. The flavors? Bold, intentional, and layered in a way that makes each dish feel crafted, not just cooked. The presentation is always stunning; plates that look as good as they taste. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they send out. Drinks are equally impressive. Their cocktails are balanced and creative, the kind that make you slow down just to appreciate the mixology behind them. And for anyone planning group outings: reservations here are a breeze. They're incredibly accommodating with large parties, and the service stays sharp even when the place is packed. Attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced; they know how to take care of people. Dead Line checks every box: atmosphere, flavor, presentation, service, and seamless hosting for big groups. It's easily one of the most reliable and enjoyable spots in downtown Seattle, and it's stayed that way for years.

The front of the bar is standard tables with the back of the bar having cute seating areas. I got the gingerbread expresso martini which was really yummy! Our drinks did take a while to get to us despite sitting right at the bar but we did have a table of 7 so understood. We got our appetizers before our drinks: Brussel sprouts (SO YUMMY), oysters, and truffle fries (towered in parm!). These went down super quick. I then ordered the pork arepa for my entree and wow...not what i was expecting but will never regret! One of my favorite dishes I've had in a while that I'll keep thinking about. All the flavors worked so well together and the arepa itself was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork was sweeter due to the marinade and not salty at all which i preferred. Will 100% be back!

Following the sage recommendation of a bartender at Zig Zag Cafe, I made my way into Belltown over…read moreto Roquette. Roquette was a surprisingly small space with a wonderful vibe serving up "destination" bar-worthy cocktails. It reminded me of some of the neighborhood gem cocktail bars that I'd frequented on the East Coast. I grabbed a seat at the bar. Roquette's lineup of cocktails were varied in flavor profile using a wide range of spirits. They also served non-alcoholic offerings which looked equally intriguing as their boozy selections. I started off with the 99 Problems ($28), which, unfortunately, I forgot to note what was in the drink. It was boozy, clever, inventive, and most importantly delicious. My second drink was the Imperium Old Fashioned ($24) made with Westland Whiskey "Roquette" Barrel, Clement Cask Strength Rhum, Old Delicious Apple Brandy, Pineapple, and Spice. It was an excellent, boozy, balanced update to the classic Old Fashioned. Although I went with drinks off their menu, I have no doubt that any of their skilled bar professionals could've crafted me a wonderful cocktail if I had simply requested a classic or something on the fly based on my choice of spirit and desired flavor profile. Yes, the prices on the two drinks I ordered were pretty steep, but they were comparable to prices I've paid in Las Vegas. Plus, I don't have a problem with paying a premium for a well-made cocktail made with premium ingredients in a comfortable, welcoming setting (the drunken guy next to me who tried to engage with me in a political discussion excluded). Bottom-line: Roquette was a revelation. It served up two of the best cocktails that I've had this year. I can't recommend it enough and it'll be at the top of my list of places to hit the next time I'm in town.

Staff is friendly and helpful in making decisions that suit your taste. I started with the Suede Umbrella, my friends had a Tuk Tuk Tang and Guavacita.
