I am usually not a fan of the yard house but this location totally proved me wrong. Our server was fantastic. She answered all of my questions about the menu and made sure what I ordered was animal product free. My friends got the huge pretzel, enchiladas and fish n chips. All of these things were gone. I ordered the vegan burger with side salad. After a plane ride and some traffic, I was hella hungry and that sucker was gone. The Burger was perfect and there wasn't a weird texture/didn't fall apart. There's a pretty extensive list of veggie and vegan options which is fantastic. read more

Food was great and our server Chris was wonderful. We came on a Friday night with a party of six and were seated promptly. Chris was great at explaining the menu and helping with drink choices. The only complaint we had is the bar was really busy and it took about 20 minutes for drink refills. Which I completely understand being a busy Friday night. read more

This place is terrific for very large groups and quick too! We arrived with 16 people in our group, no reservation and around noon. They never hesitated, they asked us to wait a few minutes while they located a spot for us and within 10 min we were seated and drink orders were taken. The food choices are awesome and so is the actual food. Our wait staff was prompt and always anticipating our next needs. To top it all off they billed us separately without even asking which made it so much easier. Thank you Yard House! We will definitely be back! read more

Prior to the pandemic this place was the spot! However, I don't know what's changed to make the quality go down SO MUCH. Cost cutting? New vendors? Lost good cooks? I dont know...

My friend and I were walking downtown and it started raining (As usual in Seattle). We looked to our left and saw yard house was there so we decided to go in and get some food. Luckily, we entered and it was 10 minutes until happy hour ended, and boy was we in for some fun. We were able to order so much food with half off entrees and alchohol was also on special. Something to go out with friends and enjoy some good affordable food. Try their poke nachos! It is something that I always order when there. read more

Yard House is a chain and has locations in cities across America. The Yard House Seattle is a great bar with central location in downtown Seattle. The ambiance was cool, and relaxed. It wasn't too loud even with there being TV's for sports viewing, which was surprising. We went on a Saturday during happy hour which they have 7 days a week. It wasn't too busy and we found a seat at the bar. They offer a great happy hour menu with both food and drink specials and have a ton of beers on tap. We just had a drink but the food others around us ordered looked good. I look forward to visiting The Yard House again and trying their food. read more

We are from Cali and yard house is a big thing out there! There was one in almost all the local cities. We love yard house and had never had a problem with it until we came to this one. When walking in, the host greeting us was impolite, pretty much rude. It wasn't busy at all. We had 5 adults and 2 kids (6 yr and an infant, which slept the entire time). We ordered our food, which took awhile but we figured it was Sunday around dinner time. I ordered the lobster garlic noodles and specifically said no mushrooms, came out with mushrooms and I was just going to pick them all out BUT there was a ton of mushrooms! So I had to wait for them to remake it while the rest of my table ate their dinner. My 6 yr old niece ordered spaghetti and how could you mess that up right? Well! She refused to eat it and we thought she was just being picky. We tried it and then realized why she didn't want it. It tasted like if someone found an old jar of spaghetti sauce and dumped it in there! It was disgusting! Like how do you mess up something so simple! All in all, we were very disappointed. I talked up yardhouse all the time to my friends because from what I remembered the service and food was always great! Not at this one. read more

My first experience with Yard House, which is a chain, was in the LA area. Chains are not my favourite, but I am happy this chain found its way to Seattle. Signage for this location is hard to detect if you are not looking for it. It is a convenient location situated in the Westlake area, but it could use more attention to highlight its presence. Inside, it is larger than what I imagined. Modern decor, nice bar area, dim lighting. Great draws for tourists, shoppers, happy hours. Menu is what I love best about Yard House. I love the truffle mac & cheese, mule drinks, several ahi options. Service? FANTASTIC! Justin, one of the managers was very attentive, friendly and helpful. I thought at first he was our server, but no the manager! Easy for commuters by bus or light rail. read more

If you have been to one Yard House, you have been to them all. They were enforcing social distancing and all staff were wearing masks. I even saw a waitress ask a guest to put their mask on when they got up to go to the restroom. Kudos to her and much appreciated. They are available for dine in and take out. I visited during a weekend when there was a heavy snow fall and they were one of the only restaurants that were still open. The food was average and we had to wait quite a while but it definitely beats fast food when you are limited on choices. read more

I absolutely love the Truffle Mac n Cheese here!! It has such amazing flavor, a great cheese sauce that's lively and not your typical cream sauce, and I love that it's finished with breadcrumbs for texture appeal! Plus...BACON. Like yes hello, obviously. I get it every single time I come here, and will go out of my way to get it when a craving hits. Besides the mac n cheese (that I personally see as the only thing on the menu), they have a great selection of beer on tap and are famous for their yard-long pour option for beer. A family favorite used to be the truffle fries (can you sense a theme?) but they have since changed how they're made, taking the truffle fries off my list of Yard House staples. My rating for the staff is average to friendly, only because I once had a great waiter who went out of his way for me. I was CRAVING the mac, and my boyfriend and I ended up getting to the downtown location around 10pm. By that time, only the late night menus were out, and the mac wasn't listed (I freaked out). We asked the waiter if there was any way I could get it, and he was actually concerned because it turns out the full food menu should have been available. I just really appreciated that he was transparent and genuine about the situation. Bottom line: GO if you love cheesy noodles with flavor, texture, and truffle oil, or want to find your new favorite beer. Will definitely be back! read more

Food was ok - nothing too fantastic but nothing to complain about. I had asked for a NON-alcoholic beer and was asked for my id but when I said I was not 21 they told me they could not serve me the NON-alcoholic beer. After double checking that it was indeed non-alcoholic beer I was ordering they still said I had to be 21 to drink it. They told me they could make me a virgin cocktail instead. It makes zero sense that I could not drink the non-alcoholic beer but could drink a virgin cocktail. As well as that, our food arrived about 10 minutes before our drinks (including water). It took three different people to finally bring us our drinks. read more

Living a few blocks away, this is one of the nicer options to watch a game with tons of beer options and lengthy menu. We've been a few times and although it's usually filled with tourists and busy, the service has always been pretty good. The ambiance is going to be less sporty than the BWW a block away if that's what you're looking for and I never really hear any shouting or cheering for football games, although it's always on. We've had a few things off the menu and most food is a-ok. The hummus is a bit dry so I would not order that again but the burger and fries, especially the fries, were awesome. read more

The drinks were OK. so now that I am in Seattle I decided to bring my family to this restaurant because it was familiar hoping that this location would be much better then the Portland location however they are worse. The first order of calamari came out cold I had asked for it to be remade The food came out staggered so it came out cold I think this is the biggest issue with this restaurant. The server was actually nice I spilled my drink and he actually remade it without charging me his name was Shane...But now that I have to give them two stars I won't be returning read more

I love Yard House. The chicken tenders are some of my favorite. I usually don't ever order the entrees and will just eat appetizers. My favorites are the nachos (they're huge), poke nachos, chicken tenders, chicken lettuce wraps and California roll (not similar to a typical California roll, at all). I do have a few gripes. Yard House used to have these amazing, skinny shoestring fries and they've since changed that. The fries are thicker, mushier and have significantly less flavor, I was incredibly disappointed to find this out. The lettuce wraps also used to come with the filling in a wonton type bowl and the last couple times I've ordered this, this hasn't been the case. The last time I got the California roll it was just overwhelmingly sweet and was hard to eat. I'm not a huge fan of the queso dip. They have a million beers on tap, if you're into that sort of thing. Their alcohol list is just extensive, to say the least. I will continue to keep coming back here but am on the hunt to find an alternative side when ordering the chicken tenders, since I just can't get on board with the new fries. read more

We went here after PAX, as it was a short walk and they had reservations available. I was really hesitant about this place, as I normally do not crave American style food. I ordered the cheese steak and truffle fries, and oh my gosh..... I'm going back for my anniversary just for these fries. Also, we got a side salad for $5 or something, and it was the size of a regular serving of salad. It was amazing. It was really convenient being able to pay on the tablet at the table, and it helps flag down the server too. I enjoyed the food here a lot! read more

I really enjoyed everything I ordered. I had always wanted to try the Lobster Garlic Noodles, even though I had been told it wasn't that great. But I liked it. It was not too heavy, and still flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the Pan Seared Ahi, and he liked it. That came in a black bean sauce, which was too salty for me. For appetizers, we had the Truffle Fries and Poké Nachos, which were full of flavor, and was really good. I tried The Refresher, which consisted of cucumber vodka, watermelon juice, and some other stuff, and yes, it was refreshing. For dessert, we ordered the S'mores Brownie and added a side of vanilla ice cream. We had a great dinner and was ready to get home to change into our stretchy pants after all that food. We definitely will be coming back here again. read more

Came here during a day of Christmas shopping in downtown. We needed to find somewhere that was good for all four of us - and one of us being a vegetarian! Be warned, the menu here is RIDICULOUS. They have an immense amount of choices. I do not kid when I say there is something for everyone. We all had the hardest time deciding - so we all ended up getting our entrees as well as 3 appetizers. Yikes! For appetizers, we got the lobster & crab dip, calamari plate, and deep friend mac & cheese. The lobster & crab dip definitely stole the show for me. It was AMAZING and they give you flatbread and pita chips so you have a decision in the soft vs. hard debacle. For the main part of the meal I got the Cuban sandwich. The pulled pork is AMAZING and not even close to dry. I also love the mustard that they use on here! It comes with a super spicy dipping sauce that I didn't use. The nose hairs that it burned when I smelled it was enough for me. All in all, I think this place is a GREAT place to go if you have larger parties or if you like lots of options. I definitely want to return for their HH menu - they have an insane selection ranging from $3-$8. Such a great deal! read more

Their happy hour is pretty good. I think it's M-F 3-6. Half priced apps and a few bucks off drinks. The bonus part is HH is through their establishment and not just in the bar. A friend and I decided to do a quick HH to catch up the other night. This was perfect. I ordered the ahi nachos and she ordered a pizza. Drinks I had a glass of Chardonnay and she had a four flight of beer. My meal was was awesome. It was basically poke on a bed of won ton chips. Service was fast and frequent. For sure will Come back for HH again. read more

I've eaten at many Yard House's before in many states. Actually if I see one in the area, this is my first go-to before I start exploring other veggie options. I was delighted to see this one. Customer service and atmosphere was certainly the most positive of the experience. I ordered what I always order at every Yard House and that is the Gardein Chick Sandwich with fries. It did not take it long to arrive; but when I bit into it I was very disappointed as it was slightly burnt. I figured that maybe it was just around the edges so i continued eating and it got no better. I waited for my server but didn't see her for a long time so I went ahead and ate the rest and left. I'm sure this is probably just a one off as again, everyone Yard House I have visited has a wonderful Chick Sandwich. Unfortunately this was not a good night for them. read more

History

Established in 1996.

When the craft beer revolution started 21 years ago, Yard House had a vision - to create the largest draft beer system in the world. We took our experience with brews and breweries and coupled it with a kitchen that creates culinary innovations to be enjoyed in an energetic atmosphere.The restaurant's name was derived from an early Colonial tradition of serving 36-inch tall glasses - or yards - to weary stagecoach drivers. The age-old custom was a popular tradition in the early days of Yard House as guests drank beer from the signature three-foot glass vessel. Today, guests can sip their favorites from the half yard, pint glass, 23-ounce nonic glass and beer samplers.Equal to our passion for what's trending in beer is our interest in what's cropping up on today's innovative menus. Executive Chef Carlito Jocson is always developing new ways to fuse globally inspired flavors with favorite American dishes, giving our menu a worldly yet familiar feel.

Based on that, she chose 4 esoteric bottles that each had their own characteristics that would be interesting to compare against one another. My flight consisted of the Pappy Van Winkle 23 years, Colonel EH Taylor Distiller's Council, Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak, and Wild Turkey Austin Nichols 16 years. It was super nice trying all of these rare bottles that I wouldn't even be able to find, and they were all interesting and delicious! The food here is also fantastic. We came during happy hour since the food is a lot cheaper. My favorite things were the Dry Aged Steak Frites and the Crispy Pork Belly. The steak was cooked perfectly and extremely tender with a great beefy flavor. I love a good french fry and these were fresh and crispy.

Happy hour is daily 4-6pm but all day Monday, bar seating area only. Plenty of seating, plenty of parking in an unpaved lot, or accessible by the 5 bus. The menu uses a lot of strong ingredients that sound like it would turn away picky eaters - blue cheese, anchovies, balsamic, pickles, etc, and I frankly don't like blue cheese, but all the ingredients they use, they do it well. Just order and don't think too much about the specific ingredients, or be open-minded! I got the Butcher Burger which is soooo flavorful - I love the caramelized onions and how juicy the patty is. I also got the Fistful of Dollars cocktail which was also $12 - gin, basil, Chareau aloe, lime. This was so smooth to drink and looks elegant. Service is great - the bartender checked up on me a few times and proactively refilled my water, making sure my water is almost always full. If you want to make a visit for the burger, definitely recommend going on the earlier side because it is limited quantity. Even though it is 1 per guest per visit, still go early. I was there and of the 5 parties that got seated, I think almost everyone each got the burger, so definitely a hot item!!!

We booked a table in advance to catch an early bite, but the Happy Hour menu looked so good that we decided to sit at the bar instead. We ordered the Tuna Tartare, Clams, Pork Ribs, Grilled Eggplant, and Fennel Pickles from the Happy Hour menu, plus the Roasted Olives with extra Sourdough Bread from the main menu. Honestly, every single dish was delicious. The absolute highlights for me were the olives, tuna, pickles, and the sourdough!Here's a quick breakdown of what we had: Sourdough & Herb Butter: Absolute perfection. Crisp on the outside, chewy and moist on the inside. The herb butter was heavenly! Roasted Olives: The ultimate cocktail pairing. Tuna Tartare: The addition of cucumber made it taste so fresh and vibrant. Fennel Pickles: So addicting--I'm still thinking about them! Pork Ribs: Loved the Gochujang (Korean chili paste) sauce, which felt familiar and comforting. The flavor was great, though it had a slight pork aroma that might appeal more to those who enjoy a richer meat flavor. The cocktails were fantastic across the board. Now I completely understand why this place was constantly packed--unbeatable prices, top-tier food quality, and excellent service. Finding great food always sets the mood for a perfect day, and this place definitely made my day!

Alder & Ash -- Beautiful Food, Disappointing Service…read more I visited Alder & Ash on Saturday, October 24, for its $65 three-course Seattle Restaurant Week dinner. I arrived early, sat in the lounge, then moved to the main dining room. The restaurant is beautiful, but despite some excellent food, the service made me feel rushed and overlooked as a solo diner. ATMOSPHERE The lounge has comfortable seating, warm lighting, and an attractive bar. The dining room is equally impressive, with elegant lighting, tasteful décor, and inviting tables. I brought a book, hoping for a leisurely evening. As the lounge filled, conversations grew loud; later, the dining room's background music was turned up considerably. I didn't read a single page. FOOD Herb and Salt Fries ($10): Served hot and crispy, with attractive presentation, but the flavor was ordinary. I tasted the salt, not the herbs. Frankly, I prefer Wendy's fries. At $10, I expected more. Classic Caesar Salad: Fresh, crisp lettuce and a generous amount of Parmigiano Reggiano, with just the right overall flavor. The croutons were crispy but lacked the advertised herb taste. I would have liked freshly ground black pepper to balance the cheese, but unlike neighboring tables, mine had no pepper grinder. Oven Roasted Salmon: Beautifully presented and seasoned, with a nicely browned crust. Unfortunately, the fish beneath it was somewhat mushy. The herb salad, however, was exceptional: refreshing, beautifully textured, and full of flavor. The herbs spoke both loudly and delicately, wonderfully complementing the salmon. The yogurt-dill sauce offered a delicious contrast. Yet too many strong flavors competed for attention. The farro's flavor disappeared under the sauce, while the braised greens contributed texture without much discernible taste. Excellent components, not always a balanced whole. Sorbet: Simple, attractive presentation and a crisp, clean taste with a smooth, refreshing finish. A lovely end to the meal. SERVICE -- THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT My server rarely stopped to give my table her full attention. Most exchanges happened as she passed by on her way to another guest. The lounge attendant was pleasant once she realized I was seated, so this wasn't a universal problem with the staff. However, the dining room service was a very different experience. Her check-in about my Caesar salad came approximately one minute before I finished it--far too late to make asking for the missing pepper worthwhile. More troubling, while I was eating my entrée, she reached across my place setting and started taking my plate as she asked whether I was finished, before I had even put down my utensils. That felt intrusive and rushed. The dessert menu said "Ice Cream and Sorbet," which reasonably suggests both. Yet the server explained that guests must choose ice cream OR sorbet. The Restaurant Week listing elsewhere used "or," making the printed menu confusing. The clarification itself was fine; her manner seemed put off by my question. She wasn't overtly rude, but she didn't feel especially welcoming. She became noticeably more polite at the end, but by then the experience had already been affected. Above all, I felt like a third wheel. I cannot know whether my server disliked having a one-person table, but that's the impression her behavior gave me. Dining alone should not mean receiving less attention. The dinner also felt hurried compared with my previous Saturday outing; I was nearly done with three courses in roughly 75 minutes. Efficient service is good. Feeling pushed through a meal isn't. PRICE AND VALUE The Restaurant Week dinner cost $65, plus $10 fries and a $4 soda: $79 before fees. With a $3.16 surcharge and $8.67 tax, my bill was $90.83. I left a $16 cash tip, bringing my total to $106.83. I don't expect perfection for that price, but I do expect attentive, courteous service and time to enjoy my dinner. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE After paying, I spoke with Kendall, the manager. She was polite, professional, and receptive. She accepted my criticism and thanked me for providing it. I explained I wasn't seeking a free meal, discount, or compensation; I wanted to encourage the restaurant to strive for excellence. Kendall acknowledged the issues and expressed a desire for an opportunity in the future to address and correct them. I appreciated her response, even though it doesn't erase the experience. FINAL THOUGHTS Alder & Ash has real potential. Its setting is lovely, and I genuinely enjoyed the Caesar salad, the salmon's seasoning, the exceptional herb salad, and the sorbet. But the overall dining experience was diminished by inconsistent and hurried service. Good food deserves equally good service. Unfortunately, on this visit, Alder & Ash delivered one without the other.

Let me start by saying that I'm a regular customer here. I come here several times a week for dinner and drinks. My problem is not with the food, but with the corrupt staff. Now, I work in corporate America, so believe me, I understand that the economy is tough right now, but the culture at Yardhouse is get the $$ any way possible. A couple weeks ago, I stopped in to get a drink and a certain bartender charged me for top shelf liquor even though I ordered 'well'. I didn't notice it until I had already paid the tab. Consequently, I've been very careful to check my running tab when I order a drink. EVERY TIME i come in, the same thing happens. As I'm writing this review, I'm sitting at Yardhouse on my second vodka drink. I specifically ordered the well brand, yet, when I see my tab, I noticed that I was charged for top shelf. I immediately called the bartender over and called her out on it.....she acted flustered and fixed my tab. You might think this was an honest mistake....but beware...this has happened to me several times,...and from the same bartender! I complained to one of the other bartenders about it, and I was told that she was notoriously famous for doing this to increase sales and tips. Really? Is that the kind of atmosphere that is encouraged at Yardhouse? I was told to complain to management even though it's the management that encourages this. The managers here are under a lot of pressure to report good numbers to the corporate office in California, so they turn a blind eye to such corrupt practices. My goal with this review is not to scare anyone away from Yardhouse.....it has a great beer selection and great food...HOWEVER....beware of the corrupt nature of the staff. You will be scammed and overcharged. Check your running tab after every drink you order. Be VERY specific when you order if you don't want the most expensive liquor in the house. I don't anticipate Yardhouse will last very long in Seattle. The high pressure on the servers and bartenders to rake in $$ is just too great. If this happens to me again (and it will), I will definitely report it to the corporate office and I will name names. read more

First of all, I want to say that I come here several times a week and I do enjoy the food and the beer selection. My problem with this place is not the food or drink, but the corrupt nature of the staff. The servers (especially the bartenders) will do anything to increase sales and get a tip...even if it's fraudulent. I mean that. It has happened to me several times. I complained once before and I was told that there were a couple of bartenders in particular who would 'overcharge' for drinks. A few times, I noticed that when I ordered a standard mixed drink, I was charged for top shelf, which is several dollars more. When I caught it, I mentioned it to the bartender and she corrected my tab. Funny thing is, it has happened again and again, even after making it clear that I wanted the 'well' liquor. As I write this, I'm sitting at the bar at Yardhouse and it has happened again!! And from the same bartender. Really? Is she that stupid? I called her out on it, and again, she corrected my tab. The point is not that I"m too cheap to pay the extra couple bucks for top shelf..it's that this corporate, corrupt establishment tries anything to get sales up....even defrauding the customer. I will probably keep coming here because I do love the food and the beer selection is great...but I am very careful to check, recheck, and recheck my tab to make sure I was not overcharged. Like I said, this has happened many times and I have spoken to others and the same thing happens to them. Beware if you come here. Keep your eye on your charges. The culture here is to get a sale at all costs......It's a shame. I don't think this place will last long in Seattle. It's useless to say anything to management because they are encouraging this type behavior. They have corporate in Cali to report the numbers to each week....they need all the $$ they can get. Again....if you want a good beer selection, come to Yardhouse. If you want decent food and a large menu, come to Yardhouse. If you want to be overcharged and scammed on your bill, come to Yardhouse. read more

Disappointing Experience at Yard House - Never Returning On Saturday, January 18th, we walked into Yard House and placed our name on the waitlist. The front desk informed us that the wait time would be about an hour. After waiting patiently and returning to check in, the same front desk staff member then stated that the wait time was now undetermined. We ended up waiting over two hours, only to see reservations being seated ahead of us. The assistant manager added to the frustration by being extremely rude, breaking down the tables she was serving while openly showing disregard for us. To make matters worse, the electronic waitlist system seemed unreliable, causing additional chaos. The assistant manager even approached our group, touching my cousin on the shoulder and instructing us to ask the front desk again about our table. When we followed her suggestion, we were told yet again that several names were ahead of us on the list. The staff's mocking attitude during this ordeal was deeply embarrassing and disheartening. We had driven up from Oregon specifically to dine at Yard House, but this experience was nothing short of a nightmare. After being mistreated, mocked, and discriminated against, we were finally seated, but the damage was already done. This was not the experience we anticipated, and it left us feeling humiliated. We will never return to a place that treats its customers with such disrespect. Yard House, you've lost loyal patrons, and we will be sure to share this experience with others to prevent them from enduring similar treatment. read more

Delicious food, great service and good ambiance. Lovely place for a casual dinner together with friends and family or business. Yard house maintains consistency across all the restaurants across the country. Drinks - very large selection of beers. Decent collection of wines and cocktails. Several choices of vodka, gin, whiskey based cocktails. Must try Old 43, which is a twist on old fashioned. They use old 43 liqueur instead of regular orange liqueur. Pina colada is the most popular cocktail here. Appetizers - good choices of starters that go with drinks. Garlic shrimps are out of the world. Spicy edamame was delicious and very different from what we have tried before. They seemed to be cooked in schezwuam sauce. Entrees - very broad choice of burgers, sandwiches, pasta, rice and salad. Jambalaya pasta is our preferred dish at every Yard house and this place was up to the mark. Try with rice or pasta with chicken, shrimp and sausages. read more

I recently visited a tap house in Seattle, and it was an exceptional experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out. The beer selection was impressive, featuring a variety of local brews that catered to all tastes. I particularly enjoyed the IPA, which had a perfect balance of hops and citrus notes. The food was equally delightful. I started with the pretzel bites, which were warm, soft, and served with a delicious cheese dip. For the main course, I had the classic burger. It was cooked to perfection, juicy, and packed with flavor. The accompanying fries were crispy and seasoned just right. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made sure our glasses were never empty. Overall, this tap house is a must-visit for anyone in Seattle looking for great food, drinks, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Celebrated my birthday at Yard House and it delivered exactly what a birthday dinner should, great food, great drinks, and zero regrets. We went through more than a few beers (that tap list is genuinely overwhelming in the best way), and every pour was cold and perfectly handled. The kind of place where you keep saying "just one more" and somehow that's always the right call. The Oreo brownie for dessert was the perfect ending, rich, indulgent, and honestly felt like the restaurant was personally wishing me a happy birthday. Warm, fudgy, with that Oreo crunch cutting through just enough to keep it from being too much. It wasn't too much. I ate every bite. Yard House never misses for a celebration dinner. Loud enough to feel festive, comfortable enough to actually linger, and the menu has something for everyone at the table. Already thinking about reasons to go back. read more

My experience at Yard House was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean, and our server was attentive throughout the meal. However, the food left much to be desired. The blue cheese and bacon burger was overpoweringly blue cheese forward, overshadowing the other flavors. Additionally, the calamaris were disappointingly not crispy. To add to the disappointment, the wait time for our food was unreasonably long, especially considering that the restaurant was not busy at the time. On top of that, the Nashville chicken sandwich failed to impress. To be honest, I have had better chicken sandwiches from Popeyes and KFC. Overall, a mediocre dining experience married by a lengthy wait. read more

So I just moved to Seattle not too long ago (sorry native Seattle people!) and I wanted to go somewhere safe/familiar since it's been kind of tough meeting new people.

Came here for both breakfast and lunch and enjoyed both meals! First of all, I love the ambiance…read moreand how put together it looked - made me feel really fancy! Anyway, I got the crab omelette for breakfast and it came in a simple French omelette style. It wasn't too overcooked but I personally like my eggs a little under. The crab was all rolled in the middle and it was a decently generous portion. It came with a super juicy tomato and some crispy smashed potatoes on the side. For lunch, I got their butternut squash ravioli which was light on the spices but had a decent amount of pumpkin filling inside. I loved dunking the pasta in the puree for extra flavor. Great with some black pepper!

For starters, we tried the Spanish octopus, which was surprisingly delightful in a spicy way. I devoured the Alaska halibut which was cooked spectacularly and tasty as each bite melted in my mouth. My spouse enjoyed the smoked beef tartar which was a very light meal basically appetizer very tasty. All in all, I highly recommend George to Seattle, especially if you a couple seeking a spectacular find experience.

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!!

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.

Just stroll on in for a warm cup of chowder and some delicious food because you won't regret it…read more We stopped by on a Thursday afternoon and had no problem getting seated right away. And there actually is a parking lot right across the street and a bunch of street parking for a fee if you can find it. The ambience and the feeling of being inside of this restaurant on a cold, rainy or windy day in the city is just what a person might need. Being able to sit down and enjoy a cup of clam chowder here after having moved out of the state almost 7 years ago and this being my first time in that long having it brought me so much joy. Especially since I got to do it with my family. Ivar's is nostalgic for us and we've been fans of it for forever and a day. It really is just the same as it's always been. Delicious. And you could add the crackers to it and sometimes I do, but I didn't need them this time around. Being able to get that fresh cracked black pepper added by the lovely waiter is always a great touch. We sat in a middle table close to the windows and had such a beautiful view. Thank you for keeping that delicious recipe the same all these years it really is something to write home about

Their famous clam chowder is a creamy white chowder with potatoes and bacon. Very rich and decadent but I do wish there were more clams. The acres of clams is 2 lbs of clams in a white wine sauce. It comes with a grilled baguette, perfect for dipping. I do have to say that 2lbs of clams is not nearly as much as I was expecting in my mind. LOL. The salmon duo of coho and king salmon were cooked perfectly rare, as requested. It came with grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes.

Kudos to the designer. All our food is precisely prepared and delicious. Our server is sweet and helpful answering my questions. A service charge of 20% is automatically added. I believe they have validated parking, but we found free street parking on a Sunday. Fun fact: From the first moment I saw our waiter, I thought that guy is a performer. At the end of our meal, I asked if he was a dancer. He said he is and is just started to get back into it, and that I made his day when I said he looks like a dancer! The Food: Salmon and Pesto Sandwich, $32 - 5 Stars A sizable slab of wild-caught salmon is expertly grilled and justifies the price. Paired with pesto aioli, baby kale, arugula, and tomato, with side of perfect fried potatoes, I can order this dish again and again. Duck Duck Goose, $36 - 5 Stars Pan-fried duck breast, roasted carrots, baby potatoes are wonderfully seared and beautifully plated with piping of orange glaze. Everything tastes as good as it looks. Brussels Sprouts, $16 - 5 Stars These are deep fried, mixed with sriracha hot honey, and covered with pickled onions. These are mischievously tasty. The goat cheese is served on the size per my request.

WOW. Very impressive food & drinks in the city. my new favorite place!…read more we ordered the salad, pasta and also the drinks! just amazing!

It was an in between hour for eating at 2:15 and there was a table at the window which made a perfect opportunity for us to have a snack and warm up indoors. Most people were heading upstairs where they have a full bar and table side service restaurant. I peeked in and decided to approach the ordering counter. This is where I met Toby who explained all the dynamics of the establishment as well as our opinions. He was so very helpful. Mahalo Toby! After deciding to have a cup of Joe and Clam Chowder on the main level, he took our order and we sat at a table. Chowder was good and service was nice. Next visit I'd like to try upstairs.

I went to Pike's place and saw a long line so I figured it must be good. My mom loves seafood and when you're in Seattle around the water that's a must to get. She ordered the seafood Mixed grill which was healthy and pretty good. I ordered the crab melt because I searched reviews and everyone said that's the thing to get. Crab melt was good, but not wow. When you come here, there's the middle floor where you can have table service and there's less of wait or you can stand in line and they give you a number and you take it up to the top floor and they bring your food to you. The top floors had some really great views. I enjoyed that probably the most when dining here. I'm not sure whether I'll be back here again, but it was definitely worth a try to say I've been here since they've been around for so long.

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.
