Strong drinks, friendly bartender...what's not to like? Didn't get food, so no review except for the bar.

This place is close to the hotel I stayed in and I had breakfast here multiple times (both dine in and room service). Loved their vegetable omelet (eggs around veg skillet). Eggs are nicely done, breads are fresh and breakfast potato well cooked. Service is very fast, delivered to my room within 15 mins.

We checked in to the Holiday Inn with our 3 kids after 8 and needed somewhere close to have dinner.

The service was fast and very friendly. The menu wasn't very extensive however we all found something very quickly. Everyone ordered something different and we were all very happy with our food.
Beef dip with Fries
Loaded Burger with Fries
Mac and Cheese and Caesar
Blacken Chicken Burger with Salad
Kids Cheese Burger and Fries.
The kids all had soda and we had a drink. Our bill was $80 before tip.
A nice dinner with a great atmosphere.

Nice variety on menu. Tried Fettucine Alfredo, steak salad, clam chowder, apple pie --all delicious & substantial. Pleasant service. Priced reasonably for pleasant mid range ambience.

Ok, a Hollyday Inn restaurant, we were not expecting great thimgs but the location was convenient. Pleasent surprises. My wife ordered the fried chiken and it was very good, boneless chicken light and crispy with rice and asparagus...mmmm. My western burger was tasty and the fries excellent. Very good, don't undertand the 66%?

The Emerald Grill is a Gem. I am a local in the South Lake Union neighborhood, and I must say that the Emerald Grill was a pleasant surprise the first time I dined with them. I had low expectations when I walked in to a Holiday Inn restaurant, but the location is convenient so I thought I'd give it a go. The first night I dined there, I had the Louisianna-style Seafood Gumbo... it was fantastic, rich with southern spices, and a huge portion to boot! The service was also very friendly, if you ever dine at night there ask for Paddy, he is a wonderful and friendly server. The next time I went in, I chose to sit in the lounge. Thier home-made clam chowder was top notch, some of the best I've had in Seattle! Sara was also a top notch bartender, she made me the best Manhattan I have ever had!!! I have since dined at the Emerald Grill many times and have enjoyed many different filling home-style dishes like pasta with delicious meatballs, a yummy beef stroganoff, and a delightful chicken piccata. Every time I go to the Grill I feel right at home, it seems the staff there never changes and I have had great experiences with Paddy, Sara, Kira, Nate, Amanda, and Zac. I have never eaten lunch there, but I am sure that it is just as good as anything I've had for dinner. This is a great restaurant to go to if you are craving some good home-cookin. The bar is a very interesting place to meet all sorts of interesting and kookie folks, and if you want that "everybody knows your name" kind of atmosphere, it's the place for you.

This is located right beside the Holiday Inn Downtown Seattle where we stayed. We ended up eating breakfast here after scouring downtown for 90 minutes looking for cheap eats. The prices are very reasonable (ham, sausage and bacon sliders for less than $10!) and the food tastes great. However, it may take a while for your order to arrive.

The Tuscan Chicken Sandwich, no bun, was delicious. I had decided to try this place out, since I didn’t feel like venturing around town and it is located right at the hotel I stayed at. Might have been able to find the same quality food elsewhere, but I would expect to pay more.

This is not a small place right next to the hotel I stayed a few times. Convenient for travellers. West coast style, semi formal with a bar (not a fast food place). I really like their burgers, well made. The BBQ burger tastes so good, I would have it every time, if not due to the high calories. The mushroom and onions burger is great too, with the crisply browned onions, one of my favorite.

Stopped in here one evening with the family for a late dinner. My 10-yo son commented on how good the kids meal was! For the other meals, there was nothing to complain about, but nothing outstanding either. The ambiance was ok, but the service was very good. Food came out in good time and the waiter looked after us well.

This place was excellent! Food was absolutely delicious. After a long flight, driving in horrible traffic through Seattle, and the gps taking us to a residential area instead of our hotel my husband and I were tired, irritable and hungry and this was the only place close enough to walk to. The staff were very friendly and even though it was almost closing time we never felt rushed. Our waitress was an Asian woman.. Junko? was one of the nicest waitresses we’ve ever had. My husband is a picky eater and he loved it. It was a nice end to a stressful day❤️

The burger are Huge and delicious. What ever is on special is amazing if its the fajitas, meat loaf, chimichangas, or enchiladas. Of course if its packed restaurant there can be some wait on your food. My complimants to chef Aurora, and Junco our server who was attentive and so polite. The best service & food we have ever had!

This hotel has the most friendly & helpful staff I’ve met in awhile. It’s refreshing to be greeted with such kindness after traveling for 15 hours. As someone who has worked in customer service for 8 years, I commend their staff and dedication to serving the public.
