    I loved the decorations and decor. The seafood was good. Not great. I specifically chose Montlake because of a friend's recommendation. I didn't think the portion sizes were all that great. I think I could have got the same or better plates at Pappadeaux for less (and it includes all you can eat fresh baked bread). The desert was underwhelming, though I was pleased that they put a candle in it for my wife's birthday.

    We waited over 30 minutes to be seated after our reservation. They did provide a complementary shrimp cocktail but were not very nice about the wait. They kept directing us to the bar to have a drink. I know you cannot fully manage tables but this happens a lot at this restaurant.

    Always a great stop for a bowl of clam chowder. The food and the folks here are excellent and the place is always busy. Amber was a delight and Andrew is always a friendly face and pours a great drink.

    Food was delicious just not a lot of options for a lower price. Waiting is difficult as it was extremely crowded and the pathways are narrow
