Decent gastropub with a small happy hour menu. I went on a Wednesday and it was not busy at all, so…read moreI was able to choose any seat I wanted. Fairly cozy restaurant with a back portion for events or more seating during busier meals. We tried the following - Karaage wings - quite umami, a hint of curry and spices, does not really look like chicken wings - Blasted broccoli - delicious with the lemon aioli on the side. A little overcooked but a nice take on the broccolini that is usually prepared in this manner - Duck breast - I liked the meat itself - very flavorful, but I didn't like the reduction and the sage leaves did not add much flavor - Pork belly - very hearty. The chimichurri kind of clashes with the flavor a bit but cuts down the heavy fat. Potato texture was a bit interesting - Sumac hummus and cucumbers - a healthy option off happy hour. Nice that it was served with flatbread - Cracked olive salad - a bit pickly, I personally do not like olives in this manner but my friend enjoyed it - Citrus Paradisi - quite a strong cocktail, but not quite well-balanced. For $13, it was satisfactory for alcohol strength, but quality could be improved Service is decent as food was brought in a timely manner and we did not need to wait long to get the bill, etc.

I like the open floor plan with planet of spaces to sit. The bar area is nice to eat at as well.

We went later in the evening so it wasn't as lively but I'm sure it would have a really fun vibe filled with people. The servers were nice but maybe not the most attentive. Again, end of the night, I can understand them being tired. Now the most important part, the food, was amazing! I believe there was one guy cooking all by himself and he did a fantastic job! We got the popcorn cod as a starter which was so fun and inventive. Think crispy fried chicken bites but with fish. So yummy! For our mains, we shared a grilled skewer of pork belly with applesauce, a skewer of grilled shrimp, and a life changing grilled cheese made with goat cheese and lingonberry jam! The flavors complimented each other so well and it was just melt in your mouth perfection! I want another just writing this. We also got a flight of their meads which was lovely! The next time we come up to Seattle, we definitely want to coincide with one of their events! We just missed the cheese and pickle pairing class which would've been fun. Overall, such a unique space and restaurant idea. I wish more places were this creative. Definitely come here with a group so you can do family style. So many yummy bites to try. As for us, we were eyeing their huge pretzel with beer cheese. That'll be on our next trip.

I'm…read moreusually a person who prefers the classics when it comes to cocktails, but between the two my wife had and the two I had, everything was so well balanced. A touch too spicy on some of the cocktails, the haloumi fritters could have been more flavorful, and we could have used more duck in the duck pasta but otherwise perfection. Lobster roll was beautifully seasoned and delicious with nice chunks of fresh lobster and a nice hint of lemon juice on top of a tender and buttery toast. Chocolate torte was moist and delicious. Looking forward to coming back!

Pretty great bar! Went there for my birthday…read more cute location, pretty interior, great drinks. Nice staff. Only complaint is that the place closes super early and they have no food. I don't understand the point of owning a bar if you're going to close early. Seattle does not do this right at all. The night I visited, the entire place was crowded with a bunch of corporate groups hanging out taking up the entire interior space which really killed my mood. It's a cool bar with great music and cool vibes. These office people just killed it and made it really unappealing and uncool. I hope these people find another bar because I really like Bar Miriam and will return!

Service was fine. He was working hard. Kinda felt bad for him. Caesar was ok... overdressed and a little pasty. Mains took a while, maybe 25 minutes. Had a wagyu patty and it was a flavorless hokey puck -- super overcooked and dry. Mashed potatoes were good but barely warm, veg was overcooked and very salty. No two bite check. Never got the side sauce requested. Needed protein so ate the meat. Let our server know it wasn't great but insisted on no discount -- we ate it so we're happy to pay for it. Had a whiskey soda and it was $12. Fine but would have felt better at $10. Might have a drink there but will never eat the food again.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs. The aguachile was fresh and bursting with flavor, the chilies were really well-seasoned, but the duck was the real standout. So well-seasoned, tender, and that cranberry sauce?! Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot! Docking off one star just because the price was pretty steep for the portion, but otherwise was a nice spot.

Excellent service even though it was super busy when I went and seemed like there was just one server/bartender holding down the whole place. I sat at the bar and was checked on plenty.

The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, but it filled in nicely as the evening went on, giving it a great, relaxed vibe. Our server Ryan was awesome--super engaging, genuinely helpful, and pretty funny. Just an all-around solid human being who made the night even better. The food was the best I've had at Levitate. I had the Korean fried chicken sandwich, which was outstanding, paired with a Matchless Hopper IPA that was spot on. My wife ordered the quinoa salad and absolutely loved it. The wine selection was very good as well. With a board racer Merlot. From the food to the service to the ambience, everything hit the mark. We really enjoyed the company, the setting, and the overall experience. Definitely a five-star evening and a place we'll happily return to.

Guess it's based on personal preference of not liking the bready Detroit style crust. The pep pie was very greasy too. My husband liked his beer. The cocktails were extremely sugary for me.

Honestly, I have never been to a city where the bad restaurants and bars cosplay so well. Fortunately, this bar is actually really really good. Their happy hour is an infuriatingly tiny window (4-5p), but really really good. 50 percent off of every drink, and 25 percent off all food. We had some of the best truffle parmesan fries I have ever had here. It came with a black garlic aioli that was also incredibly good and left a really strong impression. We got 8 different drinks, if you include a 3-amaro flight, and all of them were storied, complex, herbaceous and delicious. They printed out cute little descriptions with lots of great context too. That flight was $21 pre tax tip and also pre the 50 percent off happy hour. It was one of the best flights I have ever had. They have a section for amaro-based drinks. We tried two of them and they were stellar. We also got 2 non-alcoholic (N/A) drinks that were both some combo of delicious, complex, and refreshing In a sea of middling bars with $22 drinks, herb and bitters stands out. Their patio space with a clear roof feels like a lovely sun room with lots of christmasy trees. The menus are printed in these cute little kids books. This place is stellar, and you should definitely go. Please keep them in business. In short, a stellar list of cocktails, N/A options, a great (even if short) happy hour and a wonderful place for amaro nerds with some shockingly delicious fries.
