The line to the fan zone at Pacific Place was too long and they asked everyone to go away due to capacity restrictions. My wife reminded me of a Yelp Event that we attended at Riders last year and suggested we go there to see if they have seating and thankfully they did right by the bar area and a TV within viewing distance. We ordered a couple of beers on tap and asked if they had the happy hour. They did and it was to close in less than 10 min. We ordered the tempura cauliflower and the burger. It took a while since the place was packed and the kitchen was overwhelmed. Our order seemed to have been lost in the chaos. The tempura cauliflower was ok but not something that I would order again. The burger on the other hand did not disappoint like Team USA did. It was huge, came with piping hot fries and was perfect with the beer. The wait staff did an amazing job. Kudos Rider, for serving up a delightful experience!

In town for a cruise and decided to have dinner at the restaurant inside Hotel Theodore. We arrived…read morearound 6 PM on a Wednesday and there was plenty of seating. We were originally seated in a booth, but it was pretty tight, so we moved to a table. We were seated quickly and served water right away. Everyone was friendly and pleasant. Our waiter, Jon, was personable, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. My wife and I started with cocktails. I had an Old Fashioned ($22). Nothing over the top, but it was a solid drink. My wife had the Pineapple Daiquiri ($20) and absolutely loved it--enough to order a second one. I started with the Clam Chowder ($18), which was a very generous bowl. Honestly, it was big enough that I could've just eaten that and called it dinner. We also ordered the Bread Basket ($11), which my wife really enjoyed, especially with the garlic chive butter. For dinner, I ordered the Wagyu Steak medium rare ($86). Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment of the meal. Our waiter said it was A5 Wagyu, but it wasn't what I expected from A5. The steak was very tough and actually difficult to cut with a steak knife. Meanwhile, my wife ordered the NY Strip medium well, and surprisingly, hers was excellent--tender, easy to cut, and delicious. I definitely had a little steak envy at that point. Even though I ate my Wagyu, I mentioned the issue to Jon. He confirmed that it was A5 Wagyu, and the manager ended up taking 25% off the steak, which I appreciated. For sides, I ordered the asparagus ($18), and it was cooked perfectly with Parmesan and what tasted like chimichurri. My wife had the mashed potatoes ($2 up charge instead of the fingerling potatoes) and said they were very good. The Wagyu also came with fingerling potatoes, which I enjoyed. For dessert, my wife ordered the cheesecake with mixed berry sorbet, and she said it was very good. According to Jon, the cheesecake is made by a local bakery, which was a nice touch and a great way to finish the meal. Overall, the service was very good and most of the food was enjoyable, but the Wagyu was a major disappointment, especially at $86. Our first dinner in Seattle came to $327. Definitely an expensive first night! After traveling all day, I was hungry and we went all in, but next time I'd probably keep it a little simpler--and I'd definitely choose the NY Strip over the Wagyu. I'm pretty sure it isn't Wagyu!!

Comfy couch area and bar area This is the restaurant bar/lounge/restaurant inside the Westin so do expect hotel prices. Being a guest at the Westin, I received a $20 voucher to used at the restaurants/eateries inside the Westin - just charge to your room! Here, this will only get you a drink or a small appetizer. My voucher was used towards a cocktail and then I ordered food. :: 1900 ORIGINALS :: Hidden Passion Novo Fogo Cachaça, Passion Fruit Liqueur, Citrus, Bubbles - I haven't had a really good and smooth cocktail in awhile and this one was the one. It was refreshing, smooth, lightly fruity. Great nightcap. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: MAIN FARE :: CHICKEN WINGS - Crispy bone-in wings, fried to perfection. Choice of: Curry, Chipotle Garlic Parmesan, or Maple Bourbon. Served with celery and carrots, side of ranch or blue cheese dressing. I had plain chicken wings with ranch on the side. I asked how many wings and was told 8 regular chicken wings but in reality there were 10 and they were extra small chicken wings (the kind I like). The crispy seasoned skin was yummy. Of course, chicken wings pairs well with veggie sticks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: SERVICE :: It was pretty good but I felt the bar tenders were too consumed talking to one or two customers that they forget there are other ones. Regardless of pricing, I am a fan of Hotel bar/lounge/restaurants. Different vibe and I like it. Mostly business people or travelers but I feel comfortable at them. Especially when I don't like big crowds or being in crowds at all. Until the next review...

After our Alaska cruise and spending some time visiting Seattle, we decided to stop here for…read moredinner. It was an easy walk with no steps, which was especially nice for my wife. We were greeted immediately and seated right away. We arrived around 4:30pm on a Thursday, and there were plenty of tables and booths available. There is also bar seating with TVs, along with a good selection of spirits and craft beers. We started with a basket of bread and the Brussels sprouts. The bread came out warm, and the Brussels sprouts were hands down some of the best I've ever had. They had amazing flavor and were definitely a highlight. For dinner, I ordered the Kurobuta Pork Chop ($43). It was a bone-in pork chop served over spicy collard greens and cheddar grits. Everything was delicious. The pork chop was cooked perfectly to medium and was incredibly moist and tender. The collard greens had a slight kick to them, and the cheddar grits were delicious. My wife ordered the bacon cheeseburger and said it was very good. My beer was nice and cold, just the way it should be, and the red blend wine was also very good. Overall, this was a great dinner stop after our Alaska cruise. Great food, nice atmosphere, and an enjoyable meal. If we're ever back in Seattle, we would definitely return.

They were also kind enough to change their seating layout a bit so that everyone could see the screens. I did not interact with any of the staff since you had to go to the bar to order, but the transactions seemed quick and easy. We got a few French 75s on happy hour and they were great. Also loved the polenta and the artichoke dip, which were both also on happy hour. We were very happy to get a few rounds of drinks and a few apps for around $50 on happy hour, what a deal! Seems like a great place to gather and I definitely thought they did a good job setting up the upstairs to watch the game.

The food wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't great? Really basic almost cafeteria level food. They must change out the menu often because a lot of the food in the pictures wasn't available (or maybe they do a limited menu some days)? When my soda came, it was flat. I went half the meal with no drink because it was hard getting staff to come close enough to flag down. (It was not crowded. There were maybe 3-4 other smaller parties). I swapped it for another drink but then never got a refill the entire meal. Service was basically non-existent. At one point it looked like there were no staff on floor...we were looking because we needed help. Water never got filled, we never got checked except when food was dropped off. We had to flag them down for the check. This place automatically adds a 20% fee so I guess that is adding to lack of urgency? Never again. In fact, I urge you NOT to go here. There are plenty of other places in the neighborhood to get a mid burger and some sad fries that will probably offer at least some service with the meal (which is what makes me willing to pay more). If you're looking for similar ambiance or food in the area try serious pie instead or quick service. This place isn't worth it.

We worked with Shelley for about six months leading up to our wedding, and she was incredible every step of the way. She was organized, responsive, and made sure every detail was thoughtfully planned. The day before the wedding, Shelley met with us one last time to walk through everything and ensure our vision would come to life exactly as we imagined. On the big day, everything went perfectly. The service was seamless, the food was delicious, and our guests had an amazing time. I do have to mention that the appetizers we picked out were a hit with everyone! We even had a photobooth arrive midway through the reception, and the team accommodated everything smoothly. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Shelley and the Daniel's Broiler team made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. We're so grateful for all their hard work and couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day.

It is named after the singer Brandi Carlile, not to be confused with Belinda Carlisle, the lead singer of the Go-Go's. I had the flat iron steak and fries. It came with a peppercorn cream sauce that was fantastic. The steak was cooked medium rare, as I requested, and was quite tasty dipped in the sauce. My sister ordered the beef short ribs and an apricot caprese. The short ribs came with asparagus, a chayote puree, and was topped with a spring onion chermoula, which she removed because it was too spicy. The apricot caprese consisted of whipped mozzarella, mint, sprouts, and pistachios with crostini. It was a big hit. They also have an extensive drink menu and my sister had a Zazzou mocktail made with pineapple juice and hibiscus. She enjoyed it. Both of our meals were served fairly quickly and our waitress was attentive. I highly recommend the Carlile Room for a scrumptious dinner in downtown Seattle.
