Was Darnell Kebo at Trace a mag?
8/12/18: Vinyl brunch. Decided not to do the buffet and ordered off the regular menu. PNW Loco Moco: fancified with mushroom risotto. Rich. Delicious. Corned Beef Hash: A favorite with nice crispy yet tender corned beef. A bit different with the french fries though. Eggs over medium done perfectly. Donut holes: Light, airy, doughy, sweet.

What Anastasia Raynor dislikes about Trace:
Great food, but fell into this black hole of service. The waitress took so long to get our order and never checked us. The menu items ran out, not the server's fault, but she kept asking for refills, and she didn't even consider whether we wanted a dessert. View all feedback.

Take out thanksgiving dinners, wonderful. Food: 5 Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner
The food is not really worth for the price you pay, service is good. Location is good. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
Overall, the food is tasty but overshadowed by the non existent service and terrible pricing policies. This is an overpriced, counter service food joint. They *force* a 15% gratuity on you to get your own drinks and food! Take out, also 15% forced! That doesn’t sit well with me. Also, items are priced on the high side example yoghurt and granola is $15. A small side of some berries $12. (Plus forced gratuity) We ate here twice because our status at Marriott included some breakfast credit. Drinks were made wrong. Food was missing from our takeout order. Ordering was like a production line without any hope of seeing a smile. Oh yea, pay 15% for the privilege. We switched to doing room service (same menu and pricing) but at least didn’t have to deal with the Trace Market staff and policies. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Service: Takeaway Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $20–30

Our server Vee, as always, was amazing. She was attentive and remembered each of our preferences. She’s the best!!
As always, Trace was so enjoyable. Happy hour till 8PM on Fridays is the best way to end a long work week.
The ambiance was fantastic. The happy hour specials and pricing were fantastic too. My only complaint was that I had to speak loudly to my friend because the band playing was too loud.
The food and service was excellent! The music level was acceptable this time around..
The restaurant was very pleasant with a lively atmosphere, although it was quite noisy. We went during happy hour and enjoyed the inexpensive drinks and appetizers. Overall, it was a great experience.

The service left a lot to be desired, and I’m being generous
Good place for breakfast. Loved their coffee and avo toast
As a Avenue Theater ticket holder, I am always looking for a different place to entertain friends and/or family that I attend with. Many long time "go to" spots have now left Seattle so I did some homework to find Trace. It is easily walkable from the Ave. Our party of shared the outstanding brussel sprout appetizer with two choices of creative dipping sauces. So impressed! We then chose a variety of types of entrees and everyone was pleased with their choices. The servings were adequate, well displayed on the plate, and added a flare that was satisfying. The music was upbeat but didn't ruin our dining experience. After al, it was Saturday Night in the city!
Good atmosphere, there is a part with a bar and a few tables, you are among people but not too crowded, and a restaurant part (with the same menu), which is spacious, high class. The ambience is modern, cool
Thanksgiving dinner some years ago was not a buffet, and this buffet was no bargain, and the ambience was really cold and weird. Not sure I should trash the place because of what they chose to do for Thanksgiving, but it was they did for Thanksgiving. And not adequate.

Nice and cozy little place nestled inside the W Seattle. We were staying at the hotel so it was convenient to have breakfast here a few of the days. My wife had the breakfast burrito both days, she loved it. I had the biscuit and gravy. The flavour was on point but I wish it was saucier, it was a bit on the dry side. Overall a solid spot. For a small joint they had quite a few options to appease everyone.
Very enjoyable. Picture does no justice to show the exceptional taste and quality of the food here. Had avocado toast with scrambled egg and look forward to trying other items in their menu. Not a lot of choices but great variety. Busy spot on a Sunday morning but lineup moved fairly quickly. You order and they deliver to your table.
Excellent food! Poor service! This place deserves a 5 star rating but we didn't get water until we asked for it, it took a while for the server to bring our drinks and take our dinner order. My water glass was dirty and had dry food crumbs stuck and when I asked for a new glass the server didn't say sorry, all she said was ok! The manager delivered our food and we had to ask her for knives because they only gave us forks for dinner. We never got a smile or more than ok and a nod. I gave it a 4 star rating because of the service, but the food is sooo good I would come back but they need more experienced staff.
