Great food and service from the staff and especially manager - Joey. Would definitely come back again for the great ambiance and hospitality!

Really enjoyed this restaurant during my stay! Great food and nice intimate place for happy hour and dinner. Lovely service and beautiful interior decor. Typical American food, definitely stop by if near!

Taco Tuesday was awesome, really good pricing and honestly as a picky eater it was delicious

Nice restaurant inside the Alexis hotel with a beautiful interior and an outdoor patio. We went twice and tried PNW clam chowder, Caesar salad, lamb meatballs, and a side of bread. Both times the food tasted great and our servers were on top of their game.

The ambiance and quality of food was amazing! I am definitely coming back! The libations were strong and tasty! The chowder is a must and the burrata! Look for Terence as a server he was the best! Knowledgeable and pleasant! Mention my review!

Delicious home cooked breakfast sandwiches and coffees to start our day. Beautiful building, interesting architecture, excellent service at the counter.

Came here after a day out with some girlfriends. We've always wanted to go inside and check this place out so we did! We came pretty late in the evening but had just eaten and didn't want alcohol so we asked the bartender/server for mocktails. He asked us a few questions about what we liked and quickly came up with a drink for us. It was pretty and tasted good. It was so nice of him. They also have board games inside so that was fun too. Would definitely come back and this time actually get food and drinks!

We found this place last minute. Thankfully they were in the middle of a soft opening so we got to try it out. Very cool decor and vibe. Books are my favorite things so a library is heaven to me. The drinks were great! Very well put together. I was just visiting Seattle, so I hope I can get back and try it again.
