    I don’t know what is up with this place. We went on Saturday, on the (very) early side - 5:30pm. The patio was full but it was not crowded or what I would characterize as overwhelmingly busy. We sat down in a booth. For 10 minutes, not only did no one come over with menus, no one on the wait staff even made eye contact. So we left. Lame.

    An update to my earlier post. I called them to give a little “customer feedback.” The manager was super apologetic and offered to send me a gift certificate to entice my to try it again, which I will.

    We ate here tonight with our two children and had a great experience. The waitress was very accomodating to the kids and brought them a bucket of toys and colors. Food was hot and good. Definitely would come back again.

    I’m not big on the sportsbar thing but heard good about this place so tried it. I’m a fan! Great affordable food, good service (give ‘em another chance Sara) - and not so sportsbar that I felt like slapping someone. I’ve recommended this place a few times.

    We’ve been here a few times and the service seems to be getting worse. The last time we went it took 25 minutes for us to receive our first drink and there was customers on maybe 3 other tables. The waitress was totally miserable. She brought out the wrong dish and I had to go into the bar to track her down to return it. There was no apology. Our second drinks never turned up. Overall one of the worst service experiences I have had in Seattle. It’s a shame because they have a great location, nice outdoor space and decent bar food.

    They serve food here? I’ll be damned.
