Who deserves 10 stars? The Loupe Lounge does! Here is the story. If you have a long layover you can stay at the airport or you can be a rebel and venture into the city. I am a rebel with a food cause and opted to dine at The Loupe Lounge on my layover. Well, that was the master plan but coming from Maui, there were delays and my little mission was diverted. Abort? Absolutely NOT! Being a SUPER optimistic about everything in life, I rushed to make a 5:30 p.m. reservation at 7:00 p.m. I know, it was pushing it but for $150 a person I did not want this opportunity to go to waste. We arrived at The Space Needle and were whisked up to The Loupe Lounge. The host was not sure if they could still serve us so she rushed to get the manager. She must have gone back to NYC Fashion Week because here comes the manager looking like a whole GQ model, super trendy manager in the house! Well, he accommodated us, very cool of him. You're an Angel cause we were starving! The food was packaged to go, it was so delicious I'm super bummed that we didn't get to experience this in person. It was pretty in a box can't imagine what it would have been like in person! Beggars can't be choosers! The meal was fantastic! Caviar was packaged with ice! How accommodating and it passed TSA. Drinks were amazing and Andrea was the BEST waitress! Lucky we had her! Overall, if I'm back in Seattle this is back on my to-do list! Very cool experience and worth every penny! Honestly pretty cheap considering all you get! The drinks alone were worth it! read more

The Loupe Lounge - The Space Needle - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Old Fashioned - 4 stars Supernova Spritz - 4 stars The lounge at the top of the Space Needle is all about the view--and that's the reason to be here. The drinks are nothing special and definitely not the highlight, but they get the job done while you take in one of the best panoramas in Seattle. The revolving lounge gives you a full 360-degree view of the city, so every seat feels like the best seat in the house. You can see all of downtown, the Puget Sound, and the peninsula across the water as the floor slowly rotates. It's an easy, relaxed way to take in everything without having to move around. Bottom line: don't come expecting craft-cocktail magic. Come for the incredible views, the unique experience, and the chance to see Seattle from above in a way that never gets old. read more

It is tough to get reservations here and probably does not need another review, but here we go. If the food and drinks were horrible, it would still be worth having a meal here. You can certainly visit the Space Needle Observation deck, but nothing like sitting down and revolving around the city particularly around sundown. They were smart here with menu because they have limited options with food and put a lot of thought and creativity into the drinks. When you arrive, be aware there is a separate line that gets you to move up in elevator line. You order your food in advance. We had the Tower Weekend Menu and chose the Butcher's Tower and Elevated at Sea (then there is a dessert course). The Butcher's Tower is decadent and delicious. This include Beef Croquettes that were very good, Wagyu steak that was excellent, some pork belly that was rich and tasty and some other items. The two towers are definitely plenty for two people. With the food you get to choose three cocktails, one for each course. I had Swine at Sea (with Rye), Rocket Man (with rum) and Solar Winds (vodka). All the drinks were well-balanced and excellent, really a highlight. We did not like Elevated at Sea as much, but still really nice. This included sushi (which was fine), calamari tempura (a little greasy, but tasty, black cod (excellent), smoked salmon (again fine), and crab cake (very good). The dessert was something called the Lunar Orbiter that had many small bites that was also very good. This is expensive, but overall a great meal. read more

I specifically traveled to Seattle to dine at this establishment. I love the night view. The service was exceptional. We ordered the oceanic and the butcher as we wanted a combination of dishes from both categories. What I enjoyed the most was the Dungeness crab rolls, potted smoked salmon with spiced prawns, grilled octopus, grilled mishima ribeye, and smoked kurobuta pork belly. I will be traveling to Seattle in the future to dine in again. read more

Came here for the experience, thinking it would be cute and fun, but was wowed by the food and service. The staff was attentive, informative, and even offered to take our picture for the fun occasion. I was hoping for some good food with the price, but it exceeded expectations. We got an opening pastry, that day was a flaky pastry based on strawberry shortcake. Then we got a choice of first course. I had the Pumpkin Space Pancakes which were sweet and delicious. My husband got the World's Fair Waffles with pears and vanilla cream, which he loved. Then we got a choice of our main course and we both made the correct choice for our tastes. I picked the Pork Belly Benedict, it was super rich and delicious, even with my usual distaste for eggs. My husband went for the steak, which was beautifully cooked. Finally, we got the signature dessert which was good, but the showstopper was the special effects. read more

If I could give the Loupe Lounge 10 out of 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Jonny and Micheal, you both made my spouse's birthday absolutely divine, thank you for your dedicated and personalized professional service. So where to start! The reservation only dining experience at the Loupe Lounge can be placed online and in advanced. Admission to the space needle is required, so when all is said and done, this isn't a cheap dinner date by far - but how often do you get the chance to sample a tasting style menu atop one of America's architectural icons? Upon arriving we were guided to the elevators, little to no wait was needed, but caution, you will need to share the elevator with GA ticket holders, the space may be squeeze for a moment or two. The lounge itself is a partitioned off space with a half wall and the level itself is open to the public. There was some crowd noise but it was never off-putting during the experience for us, just don't expect quiet and quaint at this location. The prix fixe meal come with 3 cocktails each. Each is exciting and over the top, the waitstaff/manager were super helpful describing the flavor profiles of each. I think our favorite by the end of the service was the sea-espresso. Now onto the food! We chose the elevated and sea and butcher's tower menus. For the sea menu, the oysters were not available at the time of service due to health/safety concerns. A substitute of tempura fried calamari was served instead and it was simply divine - I didn't miss the oysters. From the sea tower I believe my favorite selection was the crab cake. Generous lumps of crab paired well with sweet apple gel and pops of truffle. I'll be dreaming of them for some time. While the elevated at sea tower was impressive, the butcher's tower excelled. My spouse inhaled each course and I'm happy to say I got to at least sample the Wagyu, BLT, croquettes and pork belly. The star of this tower for me was surprisingly the BLT. These sandwich squares were elevated by marinated and juicy tomato slices, paired with bacon smoked with a nutty aroma. The portion sizes are generous enough to leave you very full - during our service we were served a truffle assortment for desert and the staff graciously provided us with to-go boxes so we could enjoy them later. Thank you to the staff and chefs at the Loupe Lounge, paired with perfect weather and a sunset, this is one dining experience we will not soon forget! read more

What a cool experience! Dinner at the top of the Space Needle while it's rotating. I get motion sickness and thought since it rotates slowly, I'd be okay but warning...I did get a bit queasy at one point. Nothing some water and a trip to the restroom didn't fix. It was also nice to get dressed up for dinner. You arrive and we paid for valet. There is a special line you get in to go upstairs. You have time to spend on the observation deck prior to dinner. When sat, you are fully attended to. Drinks and the view were superb. Then the courses. Such great displays and tasty! You can choose between 3 options I believe. We got the seafood one. It also included desert and your tip. Everything is prepaid which is awesome. No fuss. This might not be an ongoing treat as it is pricey but we definitely enjoyed this opportunity. read more

About the Reservation | A Restaurant You Literally Have to "Snag Tickets" For This Seattle trip was planned in a rush. My husband said this restaurant was impossible to book -- he was refreshing the website every hour hoping someone would cancel. Finally, we got a spot -- $200 per person, which sounds pricey but is actually totally worth it: Includes: Space Needle admission + VIP skip-the-line access A full three-course tower-style dinner (super filling!) + two cocktails. Each person gets two different small appetizers. Since we ordered different towers, we ended up with four unique starters in total. For the main course: The Butcher has three dishes, The Oceanic has two -- that's five entrées altogether. We ended with a shared chocolate dessert (menu in the last photo). Just the Space Needle ticket + skip-the-line pass alone costs almost $100, so the price is actually pretty reasonable. Reservations are prepaid, so after dining you can just leave -- no checkout needed. Tower Menu | Choose One per Person * The Oceanic - Seafood-based tower that changes seasonally. * The Omnivore - Cured meats & cheese as the centerpiece -- like a leveled-up charcuterie board. * The Space Gardener - Vegetarian tower with a rotating seasonal menu. * The Butcher - Meat lovers' choice with lamb, pork, beef, and more. The tiered presentation is stunning -- it feels like a dining ritual. Cocktail Experience | Half Science, Half Magic Show The real star here isn't the food -- it's the cocktails. Each drink is a sensory performance -- full of visual effects, aromas, and interactive moments. Yuzu Drop was the most unforgettable. When the server poured the smoky liquid onto the floor, I was stunned -- suddenly the entire floor was enveloped in white mist, like a liquid nitrogen special effect swirling around our feet. Beehive Blastoff was another fascinating one. The drinking ritual was hilariously complex: 1 Take a sip of the cocktail 2 Smell the flower 3 Take another sip 4 Bite into the Sichuan buzz button flower -- it gives a mild numbing sensation 5 Finish with the last sip To be honest, the flavor didn't change much -- but the whole ritual was just too fun. read more

The Loupe Lounge is like a merry-go-round of the Seattle skyline.From the moment you step off the elevator, you are transported. From the cocktails to the views to the towers, the Loupe Lounge showcases the best of what the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We tried the Elevated at Sea, Butcher's Tower, and Omnivore's tower. The small plates are packed with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. All of the towers were balanced in offerings and came out at the perfect pace. Each course was paired with an included cocktail. Many of the drinks featured smoke and foam that emulated the clouds we were dining next to! Their mocktail selection was also impressive. The presentation of everything we consumed there was unmatched. The service is outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who make sure you feel welcome and well taken care of throughout your visit. Many of them have been working at the Space Needle for decades. There were many times that they offered pictures and even anticipated the best backdrops for them! The group shot below was taken by them. From Caviar potato chips, VIP treatment, the best views of Seattle to artistic drinks served in octopus shaped glasses, you're definitely getting what you paid for at the Loupe Lounge. read more

Reserved a brunch slot for the Loupe on top of the space needle! Online rez was simple and quick and you prepay for the experience in advanced which comes with the meal and observation deck walk around. Definitely worth it for the food alone. I was pleasantly surprised with the dishes. 3 course meal with juice, tea, coffee, and or cocktail. The service was amazing and the waitress we had was very friendly. The food came out quick and she even offered to take pictures of us with the views of the city and landscape. Wasn't sure about how I would feel about the mixture of truffles and fruit but the honey made it very pleasant to the palate. The dessert was an experience by itself but I was extremely full after all the food to enjoy all the dessert. Overall the food and experience was amazing!!! There aren't many tables so it was fairly quiet without loud conversations and annoying patrons. Would like to experience the dinner another visit. read more

If you're already at the top of the space needle and want to kick back and watch the revolving level got around it's totally worth it to grab a drink or something to eat and soak in the views. We came during the week so we didn't have to wait to be served, we just grabbed a beer which was reasonably priced and before we knew it the 45 minutes they said it takes for the floor to do a complete revelation flew by. read more

My best friend and I came here for dinner and it exceeded our expectations. The instructions on what to do when we first arrived were clear. The only downside I would have to say from the experience was when we walked in and the host was taking us to our table, a bartender thought we were trespassing and tried to stop us until he saw the host with us. That made us feel like he stereotyped us. The rest of the staff treated us with respect and made the experience much more enjoyable, especially our waiter. She was fantastic. We tried The Oceanic and The Space Gardner menu and it was very tasty. My favorite was The Oceanic that brought the caviar tasting and dugenes crab roll. To drink, I tried the Tip Top Yuzu Drop and Appletini and they were both delicious. I did enjoy the Tip Too Yuzu Drop more and the glass it comes in reminded me of an Octopus. I absolutely loved how we were able to enjoy the view for as long as we wanted to, as we did not feel rushed. We also got a bit of a show how some of the drink, food and dessert came out. The views you get of the city here is spectacular. I also loved how everything is paid for before arriving so you're thoroughly focusing on enjoying the experience from the moment you arrive. After dinner, you can definitely explore the space needle. It is a bit of a splurge to come, but in my opinion it's totally worth it. read more

We were recommended by a friend to go to The Loupe Lounge for special occasions and boy, it did not disappoint! My fiancé and I celebrated his birthday by eating dinner in front of the revolving windows of the restaurant. I made pre-paid reservations about a month before on Tock, specifying in the comments that we were celebrating his birthday. We were able to head up to the observation deck as VIPs earlier than our reservation time to catch the 5:02 pm sunset, which I highly recommend if you anticipate a clear, sunny day like the day we went. Afterwards, we were able to make our way downstairs to be seated. Our pre-chosen meals were 'Butcher's Tower' for him and 'Elevated at Sea' for me, which were multi-course menus which all tasted delicious and consisted of ingredients that we have never, and rarely, ever eat. Unfortunately, the oysters that were supposed to be on the menu were not shipped to the restaurant in time so the chef substituted the oysters for calamari, which had the most airy, light breading we have ever tasted - my fiancé said this calamari was one of the best he's ever had. We absolutely did not mind the substitution! The meat, including the Wagyu, imported straight from Japan was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The cocktails pairings we got to choose were very thoughtful, and purposefully designed well as a local homage to Seattle. The drinks not only tasted well balanced, but smelled delicious. During the dessert course, The Loupe Lounge put some mini birthday decorations on top just to make the experience feel a bit more personalized for my fiancé. Our waitress, Cara, was excellent. She was very prompt, and really knowledge about their drink offerings and even gave my fiancé a little trivia question regarding the apples the restaurant uses for their cocktails. We never asked Cara for anything because she was quick to remove plates and cups appropriately, refilled our water cups, etc. Aside from Cara, the elevator operator Gus, was really funny and gave us tips regarding where to stand in the elevator when the waves of other people came into the elevator to get up to and down from the observation deck. The dinner experience was very expensive yet fun, exciting, and delicious! We recommended this dining experience to our family and friends. When we have another milestone celebration, we wouldn't hesitate to reserve dinner here again. read more

Heirloom tomato salad, clam chowder soup and beechers mac and cheese. Food was pretty good and worth it for the rotating view.

Unfortunately the night before my 2/15 reservation my girlfriend received news of her grandfather passing. Between the third party service used to make the reservation and the social on IG I couldn't figure out how to contact anyone. Considering the circumstances it wasn't the highest priority but it would be nice to have a way to contact someone. And now I'm out the money I prepaid. I did receive a call the day of, and was told they'd talk to their manager. Nothing heard of yet. And I did receive an email stating they'd received one of my messages maybe. And someone would contact me. Nothing yet. Really displeased with the brick wall I've run into on being able to simply talk to someone. read more

Come here for fun dining rather than fine dining, and you'll enjoy it! Note: You now need to buy Space Needle tickets with your meal, which adds to the price, but the dining experience lets you skip the long elevator lines which is necessary to have a good time. The window seats are very low, but our friendly waitress was quick to reseat us at a taller table. We ordered the "Butcher's Tower" and "Elevated at Sea" tower with required weekend cocktails. Food quality was a mix: highlights included the truffle cream (kept it to dip everything), the Cosmic State cocktail (an incredibly crisp and fresh appletini), the negatoro (perfect uni bite), the salmon (basic but elevated by sweet onions and hot honey), and the foie gras (rich and balanced, though the gold leaf felt excessive). Misses were the oysters (overwhelmed by toppings), wagyu BLT (just a regular BLT), the dessert (forgettable chocolate), the Botanical Moon (all the sweet/syrup was stuck in the straw of the glass), and the Full Moon mezcal (oddly lacking smokiness) The food presentation was a blast--think dry ice, smoke bubbles, and creative tableside mixing. The rotating view, clear floors, and sweeping cityscape make it a visual delight--it's part of the experience and adds a lot of charm. Overall, it's a fun one-time experience with great views and some memorable bites, but I'm not sure I'd go back more than once given the corresponding price tag. * This is a review focused on the dining experience, but I believe you can also stop by Loupe Lounge bar for cocktails during any visit if there are available chairs. read more

Great location at the top of the Space Needle. The reason for the 2-star review? The top of the Space Needle restaurant is not a restaurant - it's a bar. And nobody under 21 is allowed. AT THE TOP OF THE SPACE NEEDLE!! We came here with our minor son, because all kids want to see the Space Needle. We thought we'd grab a snack and some cold drinks... nope. Ridiculous. We were informed that we can come back for brunch on the weekend with our son. I looked into tickets... almost $400 later for 3 of us after fees and taxes. No thanks. read more

On a weekend trip to Seattle with friends. We dined at the Loupe Lounge, reservations were made and prepaid two weeks in advance, must be 21+ years of age. The restaurant revolves with a glass bottom floor. I was very nervous at first, walking slowly and not looking down! After a few minutes, I was able tovrelax after seeing others walking, dining and moving freely. Check-in on the first floor, which has lots of photos, books, and a gift shop for all ages. A staff member will verify your reservations check your purse, packages and move an electronic wand from your head to toes, searching for metal (gun, knife). Then, lead you to the glass elevator, which gives you a view of the area as it rises to the top. Dining packages range from $69 to $200 (higher prices on weekend). It was Devine, delicious and daring for an unforgettable experience. $85 - Captain's Table Weekday ($115 Weekend): Sparkling Rose, Wagyu Beef Sliders, Garlic Truffle Fries, Beechers Cheese, Select Salami and Prosciutto, Artisan crackers, pate with mustard sauce. $200 - Lounge Experience: Nitrogen hand crafted cocktails (3 drinks: Ground Control Gin/Pepper/Honey; Liftoff Tequila/passion fruit/pineapple; Wrath of Neptune/Sake, cucumber juice) paired with selected meats and cheeses. Or choose the Space Cowboy Whiskey tasting with Beef Tartar, foie Gras, ribeye bites. $69 - Taste of Washington Weekday ($79;Weekend): Local Wine paired with Wagyu Beef Sliders, Garlic Truffle Fries. $275 - Toast the Night: Dom Petignon Brut, VlCaviar, Oysters, Seafood Tower and dessert for two. Ala Cart menu to add to your package: Sweet and Savory desserts and Charcuterie of cheeses, jamin, pork bits, marinated olives, vanilla meringue, macaroons, dark chocolate ganache. read more

I highly recommend coming to the Loupe Lounge if you are in Seattle. We booked the 'Captains Table Weekday' and upgraded to the 'Champagne Mimosa' experience. And it was sooo worth it. We made reservations at 6:30 pm and were able to view Seattle during the daylight, sunset and night time. The views and overall experience were worth the price of $110 a person. Our experience included the Space Needle admission, valet parking, priority lounge seating, 4 alcoholic drinks each, and an array of foods and dessert. Everyone working there was super friendly and accommodating. I would totally come here again. read more

What a incredible experience - the views, the drinks, and the charcuterie were all so exquisite and delightfully presented! You can book online from a variety of experiences (ranging from $60 to $275 per person), we did the Nitrogen Theory ($175 per person).

Pacific NW Cheese and Charcuterie Towers - components included a terrine, marinated olives and fava beans, goat and sharp aged cheddar cheese spheres and truffle scented caramel, a couple types of cured meats, and crispy toasted baguette shavings. Dessert - Irish whiskey milkshakes. We came on a clear day so there were clear views of Mount Rainier as well as the Olympics, Cascades, and all of Seattle. read more

Our party of 4 heard about this from the taxi driver as we were leaving the airport, so morning of the next day we booked a same-day 2pm slot. It came out to $152.71 each. Eating here also gives you free admission to the rest of the Space Needle, which usually costs around $35 on its own. Food was amazing. Wagyu Beef Sliders were tasty even when I left them for last so they were a little cold. The bread chips and spreads and toppings were so, so yummy to munch on while enjoying the view. Also, they have some of the best garlic fries I've ever had in my life. They often came around to make sure we were doing well, refilled waters and our wine glasses, and gave us more bread chips. They also gave us cute birthday-decorated macaroons after they found it was my friend's birthday! I appreciate that everything was prepaid ahead of time, and they didn't ask us to tip at the end on top of what we already paid. Even then, service was phenomenal. read more

A unique experience for a special occasion at the Space Needle! We arrived and checked in at the kiosk in the gift shop. The staff were friendly and we were escorted to a VIP line for the elevator to the lounge. The Lounge is modern and has a glass floor that rotates every 39 minutes for some of the best views in Seattle. The staff are friendly and the area was clean. We opted for the weekend Captains table with a 90 minute dining time. As far as the food goes, it was very filling. The meats and cheeses were delicious with locally made selections. The wagyu burgers were good but messy. The dessert was amazing and comes out with a unique presentation. As far as the sparkling rose, it was delicious and paired well with everything. This place would have 5 stars but isn't because of the seating. The chairs are like sitting on the floor and are not comfortable. Also, the tables did not allow for your feet to be under them and the whole time was cramped and uncomfortable. Whoever thought this was a good idea to have tables and chairs like this obviously didn't sit there. There is some other seating that looked more comfortable but the majority of the seating at the window were these low sitting chairs. read more

One word, "Experience!" This was my first time since the remodel and we both loved the whole experience from the moment we walked in. You walk in and get to skip the long line to go up to the restaurant. (The VIP service is so my speed!) You sit down and since reservations are pre-order/pre-paid everything went smoothly. All you have to worry about is what drinks you would like. With the tower one; you get 3 drinks per person. We ordered the dinner selection with the steak tower and the seafood tower. We both aren't big beef uncooked type of people so we didn't eat much of that tower but it looked good. The seafood tower was so yummy! The drinks we're okay, not the best but they looked pretty so I was here for it! The presentation for everything they bring out was so cool. Our server was very knowledgeable of all items we had. The dessert wasn't to heavy either. No matter where you sit, you have a great view. It it kind of noisy due to people outside of the restaurant walking right next to you. It isn't a place you go back to just to go back to though. It's more of once or a special occasion type of place to go too. You get access to go up to the site seeing part of the space needle and do not have to wait in the long line. Great place to go if you are site seeing in Seattle. Plan to go before sunset because you get a great view. read more

Wow! What an experience! Not inexpensive, but worth every cent. Two hours of astonishing cocktail mixology, and an amazing view as you sit on a glass floor and revolve your way around Seattle for two hours. Includes VIP access to the Space Needle and valet parking right in front. Three of us visited, so we were able to try all three experiences, from a beautiful Rose Champagne (poured endlessly), a sublime whiskey tasting, and the best cocktail mixology we've ever experienced (and with us coming from Chicago, a real cocktail town, that's saying something). Often the use of liquid nitrogen is more for show than purpose, but here it was put to wonderful use, creating ice cold cocktails, rich slushies, and, yes, a spectacular show. The food was also very good, with top notch ingredients including Wagu beef, truffles, caviar, and raw oysters. Despite all of that wow factor, it was the service that made it particularly special. Our servers were incredibly friendly, talented, gracious, and informative, and we truly felt welcome to this special experience. I could happily go here very day of our stay in Seattle. Truly memorable for even this jaded foodie! read more

Spent a Friday evening circling high above Seattle for a memorable experience for a weekend trip to Seattle. We opted for the 'Nitrogen Theory' experience and wound up with a few more cocktails on top of that. Service was great, all were engaging and explained everything along the way. The drinks were fantastic, the views stunning, and the food was generous in portion and delightfully delicious. During our experience we noticed several tables near us having a 'Smoked Old Fashion' delivered to the table replete with a glass box emblazoned with 'Whistle Pig' that calLed our names loud and clear! We opted for one of those (and they generously offered to substitute my last drink for one of those!). We must of talked about it so much that our server (Kelly? .... very embarrassed I don't recall her name) sent over the bartender (Dennis) to explain and talk about how that drink came about at The Loupe. That conversation went on for a good 15-20 minutes if not longer (with interruptions because.... well .... he was working!) and covered fascinating work history, craft cocktail discussions, and even a recipe exchange!!! An EXCELLENT experience we're sure to repeat again, thanks to the the exceptional staff that made it great!!! read more

Our waiter Frankie was very attentive & kind. Between the staff, the food, the cocktails & the view, this was actually my favorite food experience of all time (both in the US & overseas). Why I did not give 5 stars. -online reservation experience: there is no way to bypass purchasing space needle tickets. For those of us who had CityPasses, we are not able to enter our CityPass order # or use Space Needle tickets that were already purchased. I am visiting from Illinois and purchased tickets to the Space needle. -lounge bathroom is not handicap accessible. Someone in my party has a disability and needed to use the elevator, but the elevator does not go to the level of the bathrooms! One has to go up one level or down one level via windy stairs to reach the bathrooms. This is incredible for a highly rated, upscale lounge. -no flexibility to allow Lounge guests admittance even 25 minutes prior to reservation to see the sunset. Hosts do not have to seat Loupe guests until their reservation time, but at least let us go up to the top (I could not move up the reservation as the lounge was fully booked). I only had 3 days to visit. Loupe staff named Isaac Miller came up with the solution to invite my family & me back the following night to see the sunset. Someone give this man a promotion- he significantly improved this experience, and I was no longer fuming by the time we sat for this reservation. read more
