A pint of beer will cost you $8.50 with tax but without tip, so that's basically $10! Service was a bit slow and not too friendly, but definitely not rude. There are much better options on the area for both beer and bars, so I will not be returning anytime soon.

This place is definitely on the "divey" side but the food is great! On busy weekends they have a cook but during the week the bartender will also cook for you. Burgers never disappoint! Check this place out! Can't stress enough how fun their dart machines are here. Love the Siren!

My only complaint is the security guard. And one in particular. He's got medium length dark hair and always wears a hat.

She's very friendly and helpful.

This wasn't subtle, it was multiple people openly doing cocaine lines in plain sight. I understand the nature of after-hours and that people may arrive already under the influence, but this felt far beyond that. It created an environment that didn't feel safe or controlled. What stood out most is how normalized it seemed, which raises concerns about liability and potential risks to the business. I'm surprised this hasn't drawn attention from regulators, given how visible it was. I'm sharing this because it feels like something that could become a serious issue if it continues unchecked.

If you're planning to visit on a weekend, definitely make a reservation. We started with a French press coffee, then shared the roasted cauliflower frittata, deviled tea eggs, braised duck Benedict, BLT sammich, and finished with the tempura-battered cream puffs. Everything was shared between the four of us, and we left with happy, full bellies. My favorites were the roasted cauliflower frittata and those crispy, tempura-battered cream puffs they were absolutely delicious!

It's one of those Seattle spots I can keep coming back to and still feel like I'm having a proper night out. Catch me here with the girls, a Bellafonte Cocktail in one hand and the hummus plate somewhere within reach. That combination has yet to fail me. The views obviously do a lot of the heavy lifting when you first walk in, but what keeps me coming back is that the experience doesn't stop there. The staff is consistently wonderful, the food and drinks hold their own, and the atmosphere makes it equally easy to stop in for a cocktail or accidentally stay much longer than planned. Bellafonte + hummus + the girls. Any day of the week.

It's hard to find something everyone agrees on but this place had a little of everything. we got there and they were in that weird in between time from end of lunch/happy hour, so the kitchen was closed. It was about a 30ish min wait but we were determined. It was a fabulously sunny day, people sitting outside so we decided to hang out and have a drink while we waited for the kitchen to open. So glad we stuck around because this place is AMAZING. The corn fritters our wonderful server recommended them and I could kiss him. They were so good. The oak salad was light and fresh, perfect for the day. Burger and fries were super hot and yummy. Lastly, the server was so great with our 2 girls. (Wish I would have gotten his name) He let them sit outside at their own little table and they chatted with the other patrons. (There was a couple with their dog sitting outside). My niece is very sociable and friendly and it was just a great vibe all around. This is a great neighborhood gem. She actually asked to go back this weekend. We will def be back. This place is super cute, great food and super friendly staff.

The restaurant was about half full when we arrived but was packed by 7pm when they have trivia game night on Monday evenings. The menu has many vegan and vegetarian options as it was originally a vegan restaurant. One of us ordered the bacon cheeseburger with vegan cheese and three ordered Banh Mi Salad, which was a dinner special. Two selected the grilled chicken as protein and one selected the grilled tofu. The burger was juicy and delicious. The salads were excellent. One of the best salads I have had, unique. The marinaded chicken was grilled perfectly. The pickled vegetables were an excellent acid complement for the salad with sesame dressing. Definitely a local favorite. Enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the restaurant. Server was very helpful in answering questions about allergies. Greatly appreciated. Highly recommended for great healthy food options, a good time and a chilled and relaxing evening!

Lots of easy parking here, but slightly hard to locate the entrance if you don't know where you are going. I'd been to whatever was in this location before and like this a lot better. It's kind of dark inside, but is separated into 3 different rooms with pool in the back. Looks like they have regular events here too, but I have yet to check this out. The history of this location is cool. I appreciate a happy hour that goes til 7 pm. I am also thankful for the option to get pizza with dairy free cheese, this was pricey, but tasty. My favorite part was being able to check out all the Rainer memorabilia. I will plan to stop off here in the future when the traffic on the freeway is unbearable.

A restaurant that serves both fried chicken and soft serve is just not something you would expect -…read morebut I found it here. I'll go in the order that I had these. One night, after a dinner nearby, I went here to try the soft serve. It was absolutely phenomenal. The choice of flavors isn't much, but the amount and variety of toppings is awesome. I went with the vanilla and chocolate swirl, with butterscotch hard shell and reese's pieces. Firstly, the texture was so smooth and creamy. It had a great mix of both flavors, and was at the perfect temperature. But the toppings are really what makes this. Hard shell is not something you find often, but being able to break this butterscotch and eat the crunchiness along with the melting ice cream was amazing. The excessive amount of reese's pieces added saltiness and even more texture to the overall thing. It was just wonderful overall. Given that, I was really excited to get the fried chicken sandwich, which I did a week later. Unfortunately, it was really bad. I was just confused at first. How could things have gone so wrong here. I'd heard a lot of good things about the fried chicken sandwich. Yet no amount of online reviews could rescue the reality that was in my hands. The chicken was just awful. There was a ton of breading, practically thicker than the chicken itself. But somehow it just failed to be crunchy - it just felt soggy with every bite. Over-breaded chicken is never a great sign, and the inside was terrible - barely even tasting like chicken. It was super overcooked; no juice at all. The fried chicken piece was also super thin compared to how large the buns were. Just nothing worked on this sandwich at all - including the excessive amount of mayo. It's one of the worst fried chicken sandwiches I've had. Price-wise, the chicken sandwich is actually not too expensive at around $11. The soft serve is about half that, but at a pretty good portion. It's tough for me to come up with an overall rating because the soft serve was so good, followed by a mind-bogglingly bad sandwich. I guess I'd only recommend you come here for dessert. 6.5/10
