A lovely complement to Seattle's Bell Town. Midst a cool late spring evening... light breeze through antique windows, surrounded by well tended plants, the atmosphere is timeless with a vibe that beckons to today's need for a quiet luxurious booth to nestle into.. with well prepared cocktails and authentic cuisine that does not disappoint. Staff who is attentive yet allows your need for private intimacy. A hidden gem that should be more frequented. I'll visit again when I next return to this quaint corner of a beloved city.

Good spot, cozy, nice atmosphere. Food is a bit different from previous pictures here but still good - I think they changed menu about after pandemic.

Can’t go wrong with a stop into this Belltown staple. Standout dishes for me are the always perfectly cooked burgers with extra crispy fries, the crudités plate as well as the ever changing vegetarian pasta. Pair it all with a thoughtful cocktail or a glass of natural wine.

Everything was so delicious the food the drinks the atmosphere. The mussels we had were cooked perfectly. This is a hidden gem and deserves to have lines out the door. Good job guys can’t wait to go back.

Linda Derschang is a genius and did not disappoint! Like her other restaurants, Queen City has a very cool vibe. From the music to the elaborate gallery walls to the booths that feel like they have been there forever, it's an elevated neighborhood bar that manages to be hip without being pretentious. The food is a little bit heavy - but totally delicious. Bar food that is higher quality and more expertly executed than the standard. The drinks are great - creative but not over the top. I'd definitely recommend!

My wife and I stopped in here for Seattle's restaurant week as a chance to eat at a nicer place at a lower cost. As soon as we got in we realized the menu wasn't the same as it was online sadly. However, the options were still good. My wife started with the red oak salad and the croutons were made with duck fat. It was very good. I had the prosciutto squash, which was very good and the broth was good as well. After that we had a bit of a delay in the entre due to a big influx of people arriving, somewhat of a bummer, but not horrible. When we got our entrees, my wife's heritage pork loin arrived it was undercooked sadly. They corrected it very quickly though. While we were waiting for the pork we enjoyed a few bites of potentially the best burger I've had in my life. It was absolutely delicious. The cheese was completely melted into the burger. For dessert my wife had the chocolate terrine with cherries and I had the pavlova. The chocolate terrine was very good, the chocolate and cherries were a good balance with a silky texture. The pavlova grilled pineapple that came with two vanilla meringue cookies and a bit of ice cream with sumac. The combination of the three went quite well together as I wasn't sure what to expect out of it. I would have given it 5 stars aside from the issues with the pork being undercooked, even though it was corrected.

This place knocked my socks off! We ordered the pan seared scallops as an appetizer, the halibut special of the day and the cioppino soup. Everything was perfect, and our server was great. They have live jazz on Saturdays, so we will be back for sure! Wow, what a great meal!

Met by the owner at the door as we read the menu. He said it was the best restaurant in town, so how could we not be intrigued. He suggested the dishes, all of which we halved. Oysters, salad and halibut were all excellent. Service was fast. The owner and wait staff were there when we wanted them. Bill was $77, before tip, including two glasses of nice wine. We enjoyed it very much and will likely return during our short visit to Seattle.

The food was excellent! I had the oysters: fresh and a bit milky, the beef steak tacos: simple but tasty as hell with the corn tacos delicious by itself and a lime pie citrus and sweet perfect balance. There was a selection of local beers and a good range of scotch, perfect to finish the diner listening to the live band.

Good food. How can you go wrong with steak and fries. One demotion for serving delicious hot food on a cold plate!

We had the goat cheese and mushroom appetizer to start, which was stunningly delicious. Then some of us had the Kobe burger, which was also amazing. They actually ask you how you want your burger, medium rare etc. I asked for rare, and that's exactly what I got. Best burger I've had in months, and huge. My brother had the rainbow trout, which was also excellent. The menu was full of interesting options, and I'd definitely go back next time I'm in Seattle.

My favorite spot in Belltown for the food, the cocktails and the people. Love the vibe and the staff are great! Don’t miss out on the seasonal menu changes, and the cocktails - did I mention those?!!!? 👌 a classic/iconic Seattle establishment, updated to be a new classic.

We had an amazing time here. Miso Hungry Burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten! Service was impeccable and the place is extra clean. There’s even little hand towels in the bathrooms that add a nice touch! Definitely will be back for more.

Had a round of cocktails last night before a dinner reservation down the street. The bartender was super nice and patient despite our indecisiveness on what to order. He worked us through the process and came up with an interesting suggestion. Along with that, some of the best old fashioned's out there. Can't wait to go back when we can stay longer.

Ate here for my anniversary last night following the Seattle Art Museum. Not a bad walk and the food was excellent. I had a porkchop and the sear was wonderfully done. My husband had the chicken and said it was the best meal he'd had all year! Wonderful atmosphere!
