There were three of us, and we managed to find a couch, but it was quite uncomfortable for having dinner and chatting. I didn't enjoy it at all. What's the point of making a reservation if we don’t actually get a table? A couch simply isn't the same experience. Our other option was a narrow bar that was too small to accommodate our plates and drinks. I'm quite frustrated and won’t be returning for a meal.

One of the specialty cocktails was forgettable, but the Manhattan was stellar. Waitress was friendly and quite adept. It is a small kitchen and they were quite busy. We had show tickets and were getting a little anxious about being able to actually eat. They made it, we made the show. But give yourself a little more than an hour and a half if you don’t want to watch the time.

We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday and it was the perfect place on a rainy Saturday night. From the craft cocktails and one of the largest liquor selections around to the small plates, there was something for everyone. Next time I’m in Seattle I will go back. Great food, friendly service and reasonable prices for the Belltown area.
