From our beloved regulars
The food was absolutely excellent! Everything from the hollandaise, to the thick cut bacon, to the luscious carnitas, caffe vita drip and the standout star, the rosemary potatoes, could not have been any better, absolutely delicious! The true star however was the service and our server, Ricardo! Thank you for helping us celebrate a great day and for being an amazing person! Absolutely wonderful dining experience!! 10 stars! 👍👍
I've been here a few times and the food is always so good. The service is incredibly fast too! All the staff is super friendly.
The food is amazing especially the buttermilk pancakes and yummy mashed potatoes. Sausage rocks! The French toast is exquisite. The ambience is cool. Wait staff are warm & friendly. Back again, during busy Sunday brunch time, on Father’s Day, nonetheless, and the wait staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is all you’ve ever wanted it to be. Can’t say how much this place makes me feel like home away from home. Returned here for lunch one lazy July Saturday. My meal: a perfectly grilled burger and a substitute of the delicious kale salad for fries. Worth every penny.
Occasionally slightly understaffed (especially when its slow) and packed to the brim on party nights like halloween and NYE-- tourists and casual diners beware. Otherwise 10/10! Nice staff, cozy dim atmosphere, open late, they play great music on the aux and the food is magnificent. Came to the lounge alone mid afternoon on a tuesday and sat by the little fireplace with a lifechanging french dip and a beer and happily warmed up and vibed out. Not any cheaper than anywhere else on the hill, not any more expensive either.
This is truly a hidden gem of a restaurant or shall I say café and lounge. Stumbled in here three years ago and have been coming back ever since their hours are pretty open I think we’ve come here around midnight multiple times. Service is great server was very attentive. They have a very wide range menu whether it’s breakfast all day lunch options, sandwiches, pasta, etc.. prices were not too bad considering you’re in Seattle. Was able to get seated pretty quickly. It can get busy during the weekends or if there’s an event, I would recommend this place to anybody that is looking for a snack and a good atmosphere.
Went on a Sunday at noon looking for breakfast. Fairly packed. Welcomed immediately and seated. Wait staff was there within a minute with ice waters, "asked" if scanning the barcode for the menu was okay? Got our coffee and cream within a couple minutes and we were ready to order, she took our order and we had our food within 10 minutes. Food was excellent but the hash browns? The best we've ever had. So good we ordered an extra side. Parking was a pain but that's not their fault. Definitely will go back. Good job y'all!
Wow! It says HUGE CFS, it is! Delicious, crispy hash browns, eggs cooked perfectly, I eat CFS all over the country (Florida, New York, Texas, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Hawaii) this one is very good.
i hope they keep the skirt steak potato on the menu because it was delicious. it’s capitol hill prices for diner food but exactly what i wanted. my friend’s food came out cold but staff was kind and quick to resolve the issue. love this spot :)
i love coming here for happy hour! the 21+ area is where it's at. the ambiance is cool. i always see Erica (the fabulous bartender!) and order wings, taters, or a veggie ruben. its so cozy in here too. their seasonal cocktails are also delicious and very well crafted!
Excellent late night food option on Capitol Hill! Open until 3am on weekends! The fried chicken is among the best I’ve ever had, especially with the mashed potatoes and gravy that would make my late grandmother weep with joy (as others have said!). Combined with the GIANT “side salad,” this $21 plate is TWO full meals! Pro tip: take the salad and save some chicken to go and have a chicken salad for lunch the next day!! Service was great, atmosphere was fairly quiet considering the cacophony of Sat night in the Hill! Highly recommended!!
