The Fog Room is definitely worth checking out for the views alone. It's a great rooftop spot where you can take in the city while enjoying a drink, and the atmosphere makes it a fun place to hang out for a bit. The drinks were tasty and well-made, which is really what you want at a place like this. The service also stood out--in a good way. The staff were kind and attentive, and everything came out pretty quickly, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable. The food, on the other hand, was pretty average. It's basically what you'd expect from typical bar food--nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. If you're coming here, I'd recommend focusing on the drinks and the view rather than making it a full dinner stop. Overall, it's a solid spot for drinks, good service, and great views. read more

Ariel is amazing and super nice. The venue and drinks are great. Love the stormy daniels drink. Beware that they include a 18% service fee and aren't upfront about it. I ended up tipping on top of the service fee and didn't find out until asking for the itemized receipt with the subtotal. read more

As a guest of the hotel, service was horrible and the food was mediocre. I was waiting to be served for over 15 minutes and they forgot about my tea. I came here for breakfast because of the credit from the travel charges automatically applied to my hotel booking. I can see why you get $25 credit because everything was so expensive and they add 20% gratuity fee automatically to the bill. They charged $5usd for a beverage (coffee or tea) which was ridiculous. Never coming back to this 'rooftop bad'. It was so disappointing. read more

Dining at The Fog Room was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in Seattle. The entire experience felt incredibly transactional. Our server, Ariel, seemed completely uninterested in providing genuine hospitality or building any rapport with me or my guest. In fine dining, service should make guests feel welcomed--not like they're just another table to turn over. The food was even worse. The oysters were absolutely disgusting. They arrived topped with spinach, which wasn't disclosed on the menu, completely overpowering the oysters. I'd honestly rate them a 1/10. The shrimp were severely overcooked, rubbery, and lacked any care in preparation. The cocktails were also a joke. For a venue that markets itself as an upscale rooftop lounge, the drinks were uninspired, poorly executed, and nowhere near worth the price. We spent over $250, and not a single part of the experience justified that cost. As someone who works in fine dining, I understand what quality service and well-executed food and drinks should look like. This wasn't it. To make matters worse, the restaurant automatically added a 19% gratuity to the bill. While automatic gratuity has its place, it's difficult to justify when the service is so inattentive and the overall experience is this poor. Gratuity should reflect the level of hospitality provided, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short. I left feeling like I paid luxury prices for mediocre food, forgettable cocktails, and service that lacked even the basics of hospitality. There are far better places in Seattle to spend your money. read more

Definitely come here for the views. Slightly obscured by buildings but the open air deck is quite nice on a clear and sunny day. read more

Located on the 16th floor of the Charter hotel, this spot offers a great view of downtown Seattle. Drinks are on the pricey side, and there's also a mandatory 20% service charge (not including tip). We used our $25 food & beverage credit since we were staying at the hotel, but it didn't make much of a dent. Service was excellent--staff were welcoming and friendly! If you order their signature cocktails, you'll likely be pleased. I really enjoyed my Stormy Daniels, but the classic espresso martini was a letdown--lacking in flavor. We also tried the shrimp and crab dim sum since we were still a bit hungry after dinner. Unfortunately, it looked much better than it tasted--pretty bland overall. Great atmosphere and service, but the food and some drinks didn't quite live up to the view or the price tag. read more

My partner and I visited The Fog Room on two separate occasions to check out the rooftop view. While the view is nice and the location is convenient if you are staying at the hotel, the actual experience was disappointing both times. The service is absolutely slow, and the environment is not relaxing at all. It has a loud, chaotic bar vibe. Even sitting outside, it was so loud that I could barely hear my partner speak. During our first visit, the server told us our table was only available until a certain time and tols us we have to move. It made no sense why they made us move when they are a business getting paid. To make it worse, I noticed absolutely nobody sat at that table after we left it. Completely pointless and frustrating. We gave it another shot later that evening because my partner wanted a beer. Since I do not drink alcohol, I was glad they could prepare spirit free beverages.. but my drink was mediocre and quite pricey, and I was told no coffee was available. We didn't want a full meal but decided to try some dessert, only to be told they hadn't had dessert available for two days. I guess if you don't want to leave the hotel and don't mind noise and super slow service, this place is for you. They have an extensive list of alcoholic options if you're into that. Staff wasn't really friendly though. read more

The Fog Room is located inside of the Charter Hotel in downtown Seattle. I have heard of this place in the past, but didn't realize it was in this hotel! My boss happened to be staying here while on business in town, so we decided to meet up here. The bar itself is gorgeous! The outdoor spaces are phenomenal as well. We checked out the views and walked the patio and it would be the perfect spot to spend a Seattle summer evening. The views are a little obstructed by other buildings in the area, but overall it's still a fun rooftop vibe. Service here was great and they had plenty of decent selections for drinks. Glad that I finally got to check out one of the few rooftop bars in the downtown area! read more

One of my favorite Seattle bars, the ambience and views are amazing and the drinks are always well-made. Definitely has become more casual over the past few years but nighttime is still perfect for a classy, cozy cocktail. Great spot to get to know someone since the music isn't so loud! read more

On one of the higher floors of the Charter Hotel (a Hilton property) lies the grounds of Fog Room. The Fog Room is accessible to visitors and hotel guests alike. WIth the hostess stand upon your entry, you are able to select from a few different seatings areas. You can take a seat at the main bar which is aesthetically pleasing, outdoor seating on their patio, cocktail tables, or their lounge area. I went on a night where they had a live dj on a Saturday night and opted for a table right outside. While I was outside waiting for my first drink, I couldn't help but admire the full wraparound view of downtown Seattle. Their drinks were pretty solid, but the absolute bonus is how you can use your Hilton F&B credit. read more

The vibe was super cute inside, and the outdoor seating wasn't cold at all it had an incredible view. I didn't know what to get so I just asked the server a recommendation and gave her my preferences and she picked my drink for me and I ended up really liking my drink. Their drinks have a good amount of alcohol in them. My friends got the chai martini and espresso martini which they liked and said was very strong. read more

Excellent views. Drinks could use some experimenting. Auto gratuity and pricing could be much clearer. Many in my group ended up tipping twice (40%+) and I wonder if that is part of their business model. I would appreciate if that was upfront. read more

Beautiful space, good music, service was great. View was beautiful but depending on your preference of the view for a "roof top" it's a bit restricted. We ordered drinks-old fashion and a cosmopolitan. For food totnacho delicious chipotle chicken, cheese, beans, corn, and tots with a side of sour cream and guacamole. read more

Had a great time here for a corporate event. I appreciated that it was so easy to make a reservation. I called and left a message to add a couple extra people and they made that change (although they did not call me back). Food and drink were great - fries were especially delicious, as were the drinks. I agree with other reviews that service can be a bit cold and not very friendly or welcoming. The vibe was good although because it was a rainy day, there weren't great views. read more

May 16th my wife and I arrived early,3:50 pm, the doors were open and we noticed no one was inside. We sat ourselves and my wife went to the restroom. The hostess came in startled. I explained that we didn't realize they weren't open and asked if we could sit until opening. With a confused look the hostess said "No, I have no one here with me" and walked to the kitchen. When my wife finished we left and went to the Nest read more

Great selection of food. The seared Ahi was fresh, tasty and a good portion. Always great service here. Friendly staff and super helpful. The vibe is mid-century modern with some indoor and outdoor seating. Great views of the city, water, and ferry traffic. Definitely recommend for a cocktail and a bite to eat. read more

Had a late-night drink date with my hubby here, and it was perfect. We didn't make a reservation but managed to snag a table outside. The servers were all super nice, and the city view from our table gave off that quintessential "I'm in Seattle" vibe. I ordered an Old Fashioned--and ended up having three. The first one was great, but I noticed the taste varied slightly with each round, which I learned was due to different bartenders. As someone who orders Old Fashioneds often, I can say they know what they're doing here. I'll definitely be back for a quick drink date and some relaxed chit-chat. read more

Fog Room is located on the 16th floor of the Charter Hotel, and it has such a cool vibe with some of the best views of the city! I'd highly recommend for date night after dinner if you're looking to keep a good time going. Fortunately, my partner and I stayed at the Charter and through AMEX, we had a $100 credit per night, which we could redeem at Fog Room. I booked a 9:30 reservation through Resy, and the experience was seamless from start to finish! We were greeted, ID-ed, and seated at a high top table for two close by the bar area, which had amazing views of the city. Service was quick, and we were told upfront to save room for the complimentary birthday dessert. I appreciated their attention to detail, especially since the purpose of our trip was to celebrate the occasion. We ordered the half dozen raw oysters, chicken wings, and two cocktails. While we waited, we took pictures outside on the patio and by the time we were done, our food was waiting for us at the table. The oysters were so fresh and flavorful, and I received more than six since they were on the smaller size. For dessert, I had the option of either the carrot cake or Ube cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious and one of my favorite bites from our weekend getaway! Thank you, Fog Room, for making my birthday celebration so special. read more

Came to Fog Room after a long day of work and made sure to be here right when they opened. At 4:30 it was surprisingly quiet, which meant I had the space to myself to enjoy the stunning water view overlooking the Seattle pier. The vibe is laid-back yet classy, service was quick, and everything came out hot and fresh. I ordered the Fog Old Fashioned and raw oysters--the drink came with both an orange and lemon twist, fragrant with a strong yet balanced flavor, while the oysters were fresh and sweet, just as PNW oysters should be. Toward the end of summer in Seattle, rooftop bars like Fog Room are unbeatable. With fabulous weather, great cocktails, and sweeping views, this is one of the nicest rooftops in the city. Highly recommend for small bites or drinks before dinner. read more

Beautiful views here. I was staying at the hotel here and came up a few times for drinks and food. I got food to go one night after a long day and it was just as good bagged up to take to go. The wings were absolutely delicious!! Super crispy and the perfect amount of sauce. read more

Disappointing experience. View was decent but not worth going. Food was bar food but not worth the high prices. The most disappointing was the bill. The server gave us the bill and only mentioned that the itemized costs were on the second receipt. We noticed the service charge already assessed but server never mentioned this - that should be mentioned to customers. Instead, the bill has another section that says 'tip' before you total out. It doesn't say 'additional tip.' This is very deceptive as you expect a lot of your customers to not pay attention to their bills. read more

This rooftop bar is on the top of the Hilton Curio hotel. As diamond members, we received $30 in credit per night to use at this bar. The views of the water and city were nice, especially during sunset. The drinks were average and the food was below average. I don't think I would have spent money here if it wasn't for the discount we received. read more

Great ambiance for a quaint rooftop bar, and cocktails/wine were yummy. Pretzel was delicious and hit the spot as well. Clean bathrooms. Service was solid, we only stopped in here for a nightcap but would definitely come back and order more food at another time. read more

I loved our time here. It's not the prettiest view possible since the Emerald Condos, the Viktoria Apts, and a bunch of other apartments obstruct some of the water views. Still, there is a sliver of Elliott Bay and the surrounding downtown scene, you get to see from pretty much any angle throughout this rooftop area. There are two areas: the outside patio (a bit on the louder side) and the inside "fog room," which is quieter and warmer. The service was really good overall, and our server was amazing! At first, the service was spotty since we had to wait a few moments to sit down somewhere, but it was so good overall. We were constantly being checked on to see if we needed anything, and the server was kind enough to provide and attempt to explain the huuuuge Mezcal list to one of my friends, who is very picky about his Mezcal. Our whole group was obsessed with the holiday shooter option, which was so good highly recommend, they do great drinks here overall. We also enjoyed a round of oysters, which my friends loved, especially since we get fresh fresh oysters out here compared to LA. Overall, the vibe was louder and more fun outside, but we noticed a lot of the solo folks were inside at the bar, and the bigger, louder parties were outside, with dates happening and sprinkled throughout. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and are looking for more low-key rooftop energy. read more

It was our first night in Pioneer Square, and my girlfriend had seen this location on social media platforms, so we decided to give it a try. The hostess was welcoming and had our reservation ready. Unfortunately, the service fell short after only ordering one round of drinks (that tasted great though!) . Our waitress only checked on us when she had taken our first initial order and after 25 minutes of waiting without being asked if we wanted to order food or another round, we noticed other tables seated after us being greeted and served first. As well as assisted the table in front & behind us while skipping our table. Decided to call it and head elsewhere to save the night. read more

Worst service I've ever experienced. The sign says "wait to be seated", but no one greets you. Only two waiters were serving the entire restaurant. At the bar, there was one experienced bartender and one trainee, while two managers stood around-one with shaggy hair making sample drinks and drinking them with the other manager, and another adjusting chairs instead of attending guests. It took forever to get my food, despite a very limited menu, and the drinks were overpriced. The view is great, but the service is terrible, the drinks are overpriced, and the menu is limited. won't be returning, even as a hotel guest. read more

Excellent rooftop bar and restaurant a few blocks off the water front. Indoor and outdoor seating with partial water views and great skyline of the surrounding buildings.

I visited Fog Room for the first time recently to celebrate my friend's birthday. While the venue itself was beautiful and we enjoyed our drinks, our night ended on a sour note. After paying for our drinks (and leaving a tip), my friend and I were on our way out when a staff member ran after us in front of other guests, accusing us of not paying. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary, especially since we had paid and signed the receipt. The staff member later confirmed we had paid and apologized, but the experience left me feeling embarrassed and disrespected. I hope management will train staff to handle these situations with more professionalism and discretion in the future, because this could have been addressed privately and respectfully. read more

My husband and I walked in last Saturday night after the baseball game and were seated by a very nice blonde lady standing near the bar. She sat us at the corner couch, it wasn't very busy at all. About a half hour later, a dark haired female with a tube top aggressively walked over to us and asked who sat us there, and rudely asked if we would move if it got busier. I normally would not have a problem with that but she was so rude and aggressive about it that it shocked me. She said she is the "host" and should have sat us but clearly she wasn't at her stand if we walked in and were seated by someone else. I wonder if she's the same rude person mentioned in all these other bad reviews. She needs some serious training. The blonde lady was super friendly and the "host" was the complete opposite. Good luck with someone like that representing your lounge. I will say the bartender on duty made the best Moscow Mules we've had! read more
