    My friend had the cobb salad - she said it was good; we split an order of fries - excellent. I had the heirloom tomato salad - absolutely awful…I mean almost inedible - thin, mushy no flavor and presentation was (literally) as thrown together :( $18 for that mess really hurt, but our server was great and it is Christmas 🤷🏻‍♂️

    We took our 2 friends from San Diego to Sunday brunch at the 4 seasons hotel. The restaurant is nice and the service fast and fine. Food was very expensive as expected but was certainly not delicious. In addition, both me and my husband felt somewhat sick on our stomach hours after brunch. Hope our friends are OK. Will not go again.

    Great service & a lovely venue to celebrate a special holiday lunch. We had a window table with a beautiful view of Elliot Bay. Only disappointment: my Steak Frites order came with potatoes that were anything but frites - they were more like a chunky country style diner potatoes - I was so looking forward to the skinny crisp decadent fries that I’ve had there in the past. Alas. Everything else was just right with an accommodating staff & a perfectly chilled Cosmopolitan & glass of Drouhin Pinot Noir to round things out.

    Servers are incredibly gracious with children - we come here before the Tiny Tots concerts at Benaroya Hall, and this has become a favorite tradition. Coloring sheets, Lego silverware, color-changing cups, so many fun touches that keep the kiddos happy. And the kid meals are an especially good value!

    Arrived earlier and got seated. Ordered grilled Ciabatta, truffle fries, and carbonara with mushrooms along with sparkling wine. Wait staff were not intrusive and attentive . Food wise, Ciabatta grilled was so hard and abrasive . Literally, scoured the roof of my mouth, I tried eating it by dousing it with the balsamic butter provided but decided not worth the effort after the abrasion it caused. I even mentioned it to the waitstaff about the bread been too hard to eat . Carbonara not nothing much to write home about.. on the plus note, it was served nice and hot. Truffle fries were good. The sparkling wine was crisp and yum .

    Service was slow, the food was just okay. Honestly I miss the old brunch setup. They keep making changes to cut costs - like the ‘unlimited mimosas’ are replenished by your server (the bottle is not left at the table) but the juice is? For a party of 5 ours were not replenished appropriately. Honestly this is my last time going here.

    The quality of the food is a notch up your typical coffee shop fare. The portions were huge and the service was most attentive. Our waiter was wonderful (he even included cutlery in my "doggie bag" and the other staff were lovely as well.
