View from third floor
Lulu T.

I visited Lowell's with a coworker for a late lunch and I'm SO glad we did. You order at the front and choose one of the three levels to sit at, the third with a beautiful water view. The gentleman taking our order was so kind! Coworker got the fish and chips and I, the salmon Cesar. Both were a huge portions and very tasty but the salmon was the star of the show. Locally caught and sold in pike place market, it was some of the freshest salmon I've ever eaten. Truly melt in your mouth, and the price for each meal wasn't exorbitant. I'll definitely be visiting again next time I'm in Seattle

Salmon Chowder Bread Bowl
Sydney F.

Lowell's is a must stop for incredible clam or salmon chowder in a bread bowl. It's a casual vibe inside Pike's Place where you order at a cash register and then your order is brought to your seat wherever you find one. The bread bowl was soft and fluffy which was the perfect addition to my salmon chowder. Great quality and lots of pieces of fish that was a perfect lunch on a chilly and rainy day. The clam chowder is also incredible and a staple of Seattle.

Traditional breakfast

Lowell's is a must-stop if you're in the market! We had a beautiful table tucked into a corner overlooking the harbor and outstanding service from Tyler--friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Breakfast was delicious. My husband had the classic combo with eggs, hash browns, link sausage, and toast--perfect comfort food. I ordered a huge bagel topped with herbed cream cheese, king salmon, pickled onions, and capers... absolutely fantastic. And bonus: unlimited hot coffee --always a win. It's tucked right inside the marketplace, and we actually found it thanks to a suggestion from our server at Alder & Ash the night before. So glad we listened! Would I come back? Heck yeah! Next time, I'm trying the crab omelette for sure

Birthday continues
Kathryn Y.

Sat at the bar. For a birthday cocktail. A special chai martini. Served iced and so good. The wonderful bartender JoJo provided excellent service. And it's a bar, so the ambiance was fun. A gentleman sang happy birthday to my sister and me. And people were overall happy here. An iconic Pike Market place. Maybe next time I'll eat some food. SYOY!

Prime location - inside Pike Place Market! We needed a drink and a quick bite while we toured the area. We visited around 4pm on a Friday and the place was not packed. Definitely a change from a previous visit I had last in Sept 5 years ago. The VIEW gave this place the 4th star. Try to get the window seat as much as possible if you visit this place. Ordered the chowder - just mid. Nothing special and definitely had it better. Wish the bread bowl was toasted. Calamari - small portion - was good and so was the fries. This place is one of those Order, Pay then get your food type. Menu offers many choices. They have a bar on the second floor and the drinks were great. Be prepared to pay more for your cocktails :/ The bartender was nice and welcoming.

3 floor view

Place has a great view, service was good. Staff were friendly, beer was cold. The food was nothing to brag about. Pretty much no taste I guess it would be like having COVID and eating here..

Drinks Only- As we were meandering through Pike's market on a Sunday, we decided we wanted to pop in for a drink or two. The bartender mentioned mimosas and Bloody Mary's so my ears perked up. They had an unusual Bloody Mary with salmon, so as we were in Seattle, I felt that I should try this version. I was expecting a piece of salmon on my drink, but rather the salmon was within the mix- interesting.....not sure I would order this again. I think I would stick with a regular bloody mary. Pricing wise, not bad for being at the market. Netherless the bartender was very friendly. And very kind to address all the questions of the tourist stopping in. The view from the bar of the water was beautiful. The bar on the second floor is quite small. If eating, there are plenty of seats among the three floors. Note lots of stairs....to the second and third floor.

Lowells Clam Chowder & Salmon Chowder
Shana N.

Clam Chowder: 6.5/10 mid. Unfortunately, the chowder of the day wasn't salmon which is my fav. Fish and Chips: 7.5/10. Fish was ok, fries were good, tartar sauce was great. Calamari: 8/10. Calamari was good, sauce was ok. I enjoyed the calamari with the tartar sauce from the fish and chips. Service & Ambiance: 10/10. We sat at the top level where The Crab Pot was. We were brought our food from both restaurants and the window view was amazing

Great food and scenery even better service !!! Kyle... Max... and Sid... provided great service and attention while dining. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Seattle.

Crab melt
Jayson D.

What a great find!--Lowell's gives you the perfect location in the world famous Pike Place Market but keeps a down to earth and inviting attitude. And all while serving up fresh catches of the day. I loved the crab melt sandwich. It's not cheap, but it packs all the meat of a full Dungeness crab without making you do the shelling. And the meat is spread all the way to the bread's crust, so you get a mouthful of oceany, succulent crab meat in every bite--no pointless bites of empty bread. Served with fries.

How much I paid
Regina I.

It's a a great view! Apparently that's what you're paying for ! However as far as the quality of food for the price, nah ....i paid 90.00 plus tip for overfried hash browns that were hard as rocks. The hollandaise sauce was obviously not homemade and mehhh at best, the side was $6.95 . Obviously you needed it to drowned the rock hard hashbrow on my plate. It was 4.95 for a cup of black coffee! Not a latte, a cup of French roast! My Dungeness crab eggs Benedict was served on a piece of sourdough toast not a traditional English muffin at the price of $39.95!!!! For $10 more I could've bought a whole container of crab at Costco and made my entire family that consist of seven people homemade Dungeness crab Benedict with fresh organic eggs from my own chickens ! The French toast was basic at best... Save your money go across the street to Me Sum pastry by yourself a curry bun and be happy for a cheaper breakfast and a cup of coffee outside of the spot ! That might run $12.00 total!

Combo breakfast, two eggs, sausage and French toast w/powered sugar.
Mike A.

Had an early morning start of my day. Drove over an hour into downtown Seattle to Pike Place Market. I've heard of people having amazing breakfasts at Lowell's Restaurant. The menu was quite large but had a great variety. I ordered combination breakfast. The staff was very nice and informed me seating was available on three floors. I proceeded up the stairs to a very well area at the top. WOW!! what amazing views. But I decided to return to the second floor to have a warm adult breakfast Irish coffee. Unfortunately, I was stopped by the staff saying you've already ordered and cannot sit in here!!! I even tried to order my drink and was told no! Shocked I proceeded back upstairs to get a table. It was still very peaceful and the decor was still very inviting. I took a seat by the window overlooking the Puget Sound with the snow capped Olympic Peninsula in the distance. My food showed up as I was gazing out the window. The presentation was near perfect. Only drawback was the excessive powdered sugar which I asked not to have on my French toast (I scrapped off the powdered sugar), the eggs were cooked correctly, but sadly only one of the three sausages was cooked completely which had amazing flavor including the spices. Just an observation about after being served. I realized I had to serve myself water, obtain my own napkins and utensils. The wait staff NEVER returned to follow up on my meal. Overall, this experience wasn't what I expected. Maybe I'll have to check this place out on a weekday morning vs. at 0845a on a Saturday. Yes, I'm going to make another trip with friends in tow to see if we have the same experience. Until I return my rating is in the middle. Please note- No disabled access to the 2nd & 3rd floor.

Crispy Calamari Strips
Vincent C.

"You can feel the lively energy and history as soon as you walk in! The seafood was great and made better by the great harbor views. Food: The fish & chips and calamari was a great taste of what Lowell's offers. The seafood itself was so tender beneath the breading and the sauces paired great. I will say the breading could have been improved. The calamari breading was a bit soggy and didn't have much crunch and for the fish & chips I think I just prefer beer battered over panko crumbs. Service: All of the service staff were very kind and provided quick service. Atmosphere: The 3rd floor of the dining space was brightly sun drenched and offered a great view of the water. It was a perfect atmospheric sendoff from a wonderful vacation to Seattle."

I swear I could eat those every single day if I could. The combo silog was awesome too because you get a little bit of everything, so it's perfect if you wanna try multiple Filipino breakfast staples in one plate. The whole place just felt super homey and comforting. Service was exactly what you'd expect visiting a Filipino household: warm, welcoming, and genuine. You really feel taken care of here.

Despite the rain, the line was down the street. This was my first experience eating at an authentic Filipino restaurant, and I was not disappointed. We got a stack of the ube pancakes (only available on the weekends), the combo silog, and the oxtail silog. Everything we ate was fire. The oxtail was fall of the bone tender. The combo silog was basically a sampler of all the different popular meat options Ludi's has. They also have spicy chili oil that you can go grab yourself, which is a must for spicy lovers. The ube pancakes are to die for. The ube pancakes themselves were ube flavored and were drenched in this delectable ube sauce and topped off with whipped cream. As we were eating, we were also greeted by the man who made this place famous, Tito Greg. He was the nicest, sweetest elderly man I've ever met. He took the time to talk to us and explain his life story to us. The whole restaurant was plastered with pictures and souvenirs that fellow diners gave him throughout the time he's been open. Afterwards, he also gave us some soursop juice, one of his favorite drinks with us, as well as offered us extra rice. Would highly recommend coming back here for a delicious meal and to meet a true local legend.

What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

Our server Charlie, was engaging, friendly and on top of things. We ordered the shared dips---olive tapenade, eggplant, hummus, tatziki with some warm pita triangles. They're all good and a fun way to start the dinner. We each had kebabs---lamb, chicken and mushroom. All good, moist and tender all poured with a jig of ouzo on a hot skillet.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.
