    Interesting (menu changes weekly) food in a small room. Professional (not to say in any way friendly or welcoming) service. The whole experience felt a little twee - but the food was good and reasonably priced for the quality. I'm glad I made reservations for Thursday brunch and will probably try to return on our next visit to the area.

    Stopped by here a few years ago for some dutch babies, and we absolutely loved them. Their customer service is great, the food is good, hearty and delicious. The place gets packed through! Overall a great spot for brunch

    Dutch Babies & Omelet
    Michael J.

    We hit Tilikum Place Cafe on a weekend and got lucky with zero wait time despite having no reservation, though normally there's a line out the door on weekends. The interior is really cool and decorative, with a cozy, classic bistro feel. The star of the show was definitely the original Dutch baby. It arrived fresh out of the oven in a cast-iron skillet, puffed up high with crisp, browned edges and a warm, custardy center dusted with sugar, squeezing the fresh lemon over it and adding the syrup completely transformed it into an amazing balance of tart and sweet that tasted incredible. We also ordered the half French press, which was honestly really good, rich coffee and the perfect pairing to cut through the sweetness of the Dutch baby. We got the omelet too; it was just okay, but the Dutch baby and coffee alone make this place completely worth the visit.

    Reservations are highly recommended and I can see why! The service was fast and efficient and the place is cozy with vintage decor. The Dutch baby came out piping hot, creamy and so flavorful. Our side order of sausage was thick and juicy and our sunny side egg was perfect. I think the Americano was nice and bold. A definite place to check when you're in Seattle.

    Love this spot for brunch/breakfast and especially recommend the Dutch babies! Great service but recommend making a reservation because it gets busy on the weekends.

    Cappuccino

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street! 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!

    One of the best brunches in Seattle! The restaurant feels like a mix of a diner and a family restaurant. It's small and intimate and everyone is super friendly. Reservations are required for brunch and you'll have to make it 1-2 months in advance, but it's definitely worth it! Their menu changes often but they always have a savory and sweet Dutch baby which you have to get. If you've never had a Dutch baby, it's like a cross between a Yorkshire pudding and a pancake. I have a preference towards savory dishes, so I love their savory Dutch baby which is filled with eggy cheesy goodness. The edges are browned and crispy but the interior is custardy and flavorful. The other dishes here are also amazing. Recently, they had an eggs Benedict with pulled pork and instead of an English muffin, it was a mac and cheese cake. Probably one of the best brunch dishes I've had. Another thing I like about this place is that the prices are super reasonable. Most dishes are around $20 which is great considering the quality and that we live in Seattle.

    Tilikum Place Cafe is an absolute gem and a local favorite not just for the spectacular food, and carefully curated rotating menu; the service and happiness from the wonderful team makes Tilikum Place Cafe special. The cafe is small, and during the warm season it's tough to get a reservation if you have a party larger than two I recommend planning ahead of your actual arrival.

    Sweet Dutch Baby: huckleberry compote, cream cheese mousse
    Fionna L.

    The hype is real! Reservations for TPC's famous brunch and Dutch babies are hard to get but so worth it. This is a small, beautiful and homey space that served one of the best meals I've ever had in Seattle. - Eggs Benedict - the Irish colcannon cake (purple potatoes, cabbage, kale, onion) wowed me. It tasted like excellent beef brisket. The eggs were perfectly poached, the bacon was nice and crispy, and the roasted potatoes went great with the lemony hollandaise and curried ketchup. - Sweet dutch baby (huckleberry compote, cream cheese mousse) was divine. These dishes were the perfect portion for two. To top it off, we had a wonderful server, Eileen, who was so warm and genuine. It is hard to find such nice small town hospitality in the city. TPC tops my list of must-try brunch places!

    Tilikum Place has been an interesting place that I have heard is a must try in the Seattle area, and I'm glad to have pay this restaurant a visit! We went on a Saturday around 2PM and we had a reservation so no wait was needed. Due to the location of the restaurant, I consider parking to be moderate to very difficult to find depending on the time of the day. Majority if not all of the options are street side with a 2 hour limit (typical Seattle downtown parking vibe) on all days except for Sunday I think. The ambiance of the restaurant is slow casual, as most of the diners are dine in. Service is warm, attentive, and relatively fast as we were able to get most of our food in the time frame that was mentioned. I had a couple of items, which I'll review down below: French Onion Soup ($10): I got the small portion, which is about a larger coffee cup size serving. There is a thick layer of Gruyere cheese garnished on top with pieces of bread sticking out as you can see in the photo. The stock is has a hearty deep beefy flavor with a sweet slightly acidity after taste. It does taste very comfortable and would hit the soul nicely on a cold day. Dutch Babies ($17 - $18): We got the Sweet Dutch baby ($17) and Savory Dutch baby ($18) since we wanted to try the different flavors and textures between the two. I would describe the texture is a lighter fluffier crepe in terms of texture and flavor. I think I liked the savory one more as it had heartier texture and maintained the crepe crispiness on the outside and fluffiness on the inside. The sweet one became a bit more soggy as time went on, but that's just down to personal preference. Do note that they take 30 minutes to make. Personally, I didn't get very full off of one of them, you may need to order more in addition if you are very hungry. In the end, I think that Dutch Babies are novel breakfast experience and that Tilikum Place is a good place for a light brunch that you can chat with your friends over. I am not the biggest bruncher, so I probably wouldn't revisit, but I would recommend checking out Tilikum Place if you are a big bruncher.

    Baked Eggs
    Valerie Y.

    I can't believe it's taken me so long to get to Tilikum Place Cafe. I had such a great brunch there and I can't wait to come back and try more items. My friend and I were lucky enough to get seats from a walk-in, but you should probably make a reservation for any more than two people. It's always busy! So busy that the service does take a while. The food is great. We got Baked Eggs and a Dutch Baby, both dishes were hearty and filling. You must get the Baked Eggs with bread and butter; mostly because it's too salty on its own. It's so great with the bread, the herby taste and the creaminess are wonderful. The Dutch Baby was pretty great too! I would compare it to a personal pie with fabulous crust. I didn't taste the goat cheese much, but I enjoyed the cinnamon + marionberry jam. I'd definitely come back to try the other items on the menu! Everyone recommends the dutch baby but honestly the other items looked more interesting, so don't limit yourself.

    Emma S.

    This was the perfect place for a weekend brunch & catchup with friends! The vibe inside was so pleasant and relaxing and it was easy to talk to each other. Their well known dish is the dutch baby -- my friend got the savory one which was delicious and I got the sweet one which was also very good. I honestly would probably get the savory one next time! Overall, a great place for brunch, but make sure to make a reservation well in advance because it is so popular and they get booked out.

    Every bite was completely delicious in this small family owned restaurant. The menu changes weekly so it is worth going back to again over and over. You need reservations and street parking nearby but very much worth it. Service staff were kind and informative.

    Flat Bread - We ordered the flat bread with spicy Caccioppo pork sausage, béchamel, Pernod fennel,…read moremozzarella, Grana Padano, and garlic. The crust was on the thicker side and packed with rich garlic flavor. The center of the flat bread was more flavorful than the edges. Crispy Karaage Chicken Wings - The karaage seasoning comes as a powder rub. It wasn't my favorite because it didn't taste much like traditional karaage. It's also a bit messy to eat, so be careful not to get the powder on your clothes. Interestingly, the flavor reminded me of Maruchan shrimp flavored instant noodles. On the plus side, the portion size was generous and offered good value for an appetizer. Gambas al Ajillo - This dish features spicy garlic shrimp and chicken chorizo. The shrimp was fresh and well cooked, though it wasn't particularly spicy. The chorizo brought more heat and had excellent flavor. I highly recommend ordering this alongside the flat bread. We used the gambas garlic oil/ sauce from this dish as a dipping sauce for the bread, which added a delicious extra kick. Espresso Martini - They make their espresso martini using drip coffee, and surprisingly, it works really well. This was my first time having one made this way, and I enjoyed it.

I'd say to be sure and order them. The ravioli and mushrooms would have been nice, but was so overly drenched in brown butter it was not pleasant. Who knew there could be too much brown butter? This dish would benefit by a bit of acid - maybe a balsamic drizzle? The best part of the tandoori style chicken by far were the interesting garnishes along with the tzatziki. The chicken was just a vehicle for the rest.

I've never had anything like it--it genuinely tasted like you were drinking a bowl of fresh pho in the best possible way. It may honestly be our new favorite cocktail ever. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The oysters were, without question, the best we've ever had, and we've tried oysters all over the country. The smoked salmon crudo was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My oxtail pappardelle was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed, while my wife absolutely loved the Thai coconut curry with scallops. To finish the evening, 2120 surprised us with an amazing anniversary dessert featuring warm donuts, fresh chocolate cream, and caramel sauce, along with a celebratory glass of champagne. It was a thoughtful touch that made an already memorable evening even more special. A huge thank you to our server, James, who made the entire experience exceptional with his outstanding service, attention to detail, and warm personality. Thank you to the entire team at 2120 for helping us celebrate our anniversary in such a memorable way. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in Seattle, whether for a special occasion or simply a fantastic meal, I highly recommend 2120. We will absolutely be back.

I would describe the vibe as modern, sleek, and romantic. Great for a nice business dinner with clients or out of town guests, especially because it's right next to the Amazon spheres. If you sit in the outside patio area, you feel like you are in the midst of them. Because of our special occasion and it wasn't very busy, we had the option of sitting at the pretty cool tabletop fire pit table that faced the Spheres. I think it sits 6 normally. Service was bar none! Our server was very attentive and accommodating to some of my special requests. I do not drink alcohol anymore, so mocktail options are key and theirs did not disappoint. I loved what the server recommended - their in house made ginger beer - it was the best I've ever tasted. The Kale salad tasted fresh and crunchy. It was topped with the perfect amount of cheese but could've used just a bit more dressing. It was a huge serving! The salmon was delicious & melt in your mouth buttery w/the skin crisp to perfection. I was undecided about some menu items and like smaller portions so the server made a wonderful suggestion - so we added a couple seared scallops to our entree and shared. The scallops were good, but I've had better. I would've liked them to be seared a little bit more. I was excited to try the Panna Cotta. I expected it to be creamier but this is only the second time I've ever had Panna Cotta so I am not as familiar. I wish they had more dessert options. Overall, great experience. Just for context. We are in our late 40's.

We ordered Bombay Sapphire martinis with olives, but the bar made them dirty martinis, so we had to send them back and so we waited a long time to ever get our first drink. The burrata starter was okay, but probably not something I'd order again. That said, the ahi dinner was fantastic and definitely the highlight of the meal. Our server was also very pleasant and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, a good 4-star experience.

We went there for dinner late on a Saturday night, making reservations through Open Table. The restaurant wasn't very crowded. I liked the decor and our attentive waiter. I ordered the fish and chips and my sister ordered an A&A burger. My food was just okay-- it lacked flavor. My sister enjoyed her burger. I don't think I would return for dinner, but I had their breakfast buffet the next morning and it was very good, although pricey. I'd definitely go back for that. They offered lots of delicious fruit like watermelon and red grapes that I enjoyed very much. Good French toast, too.

The server took care of us through both parts of the evening and the service was excellent from start to finish. Dinner was outstanding, and the view is on another level.

The experience exceeded my expectations, specifically for exceptional service! As we walked in the door, the hostess was super friendly. We sat at the large high-top table with the fire pit nearest to the hostess stand with a view of the water. Our server, Amber, consistently went above and beyond and carried herself with a bubbly and positive aura. She guided our selections of fries, fish tacos, salmon mousse, and tuna poke bites and frequently checked on us to make sure we were doing okay. Amber was also very professional and polite when she cleared plates and dropped off the drinks and food. Speaking of the food, every dish had great presentation. I wouldn't say the taste was out of the world but everything was still good and worth the price. The two hours we spent there flew by and by the time we decided to wrap up, all three of us were commenting on the great service (which led me to write this review). As a final gesture of hospitality by the restaurant, the hostess let my mom keep the bar purse hook that was given to her to hang her purse. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Seattle.

I tried the passionfruit creme brulee donut, and though a bit pricey ($6), it was worth the money. The top of the donut had that perfect creme brulee torched top, and the passion fruit inside was perfectly tangy, which offset the fattiness from the donut itself. It wasn't very sweet, but I kinda liked that. The other flavors on the menu also looked great. I hear they rotate their menu often. There is nowhere to sit here, so be prepared to take your donuts to go. The shop does sell some beverages, like water or milk, to help you get in the donut mood. The service on my visit was fine. The gentleman working was nice enough, but nothing to write home about. Overall, a good donut shop if you're looking for speciality donuts and don't mind the higher price tag.

My only gripe is the bread itself. It's denser than I'd like -- if you're expecting that light, pillowy chew you get at Tous Les Jours, you might be slightly let down. Doce Donut leana more into the pastry/patisserie side than a classic fluffy donut shop and the prices reflect that too. Overall, highly recommend because of the unique flavors you can find here. Every donut was a work of art and sounded interesting. The only thing preventing me from getting one of everything was price
