Beautiful space with sweeping view facing Pioneer Square, Elliot Bay and West Seatttle. Service was attentive and food was on point. Only gripe was I wish they gave me a better knife to cut through my filet, and my partner’s short rib was missing the bone, so it lost the “dino” effect. But overall loved the experience and look forward to visiting again.

Tilikum Place Café offers a cozy, European-inspired brunch experience. I had the savory Dutch baby with duck and goat cheese—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. My partner opted for the eggs benedict, which was equally delicious. The warm ambiance, friendly service, and great coffee make this spot a must-visit. Be sure to make a reservation—it’s popular for a reason!

We went for brunch on New Years’s Day. The places was packed and although we had a reservation but it took ~30mins to get a seating. The food was amazing. We ordered the Classic French Toast and the Joe’s Scramble. Both the dishes had good portions. Portage Bay SLU is one of our top to-go brunch spots. We have been here multiple times and the experience here has been great most of the times.
