Being a carnivore I have a highly anti vegetarian sentiment to most things vegetarian. So I was incredibly skeptical when it came to spending $10-20 per person for vegetables. But I was pleasantly surprised.

The service was prompt and friendly. The meals are reasonably priced, and the flavors quite good. Granted I made the mistake of expecting the meat substitute to taste like meat, which it didn’t for all. But for soy it was actually pretty good. It’s a small spot so be prepared to sit close to other diners, the decor is fine, nothing make or break.

I say it’s worth a try, I know that I’ll probably go back at least once..if no other reason than to figure out what the beef substitute really tastes like.

So over rated that it could only last in Belltown. I’m all for “trendy” restaurants, but this really isn’t one of them.

The decor is mediocre, the sushi is so blah that it could be in the deli aisle at the grocery store..and not a good one at that. The service is mediocre, the drinks are mediocre…to put it simply this restaurant screams mediocrity…I’m not sure why it does well other than it’s in belltown..

There’s much better sushi in this town..and trendier restaurants.

After complaining about Wasabi this seemed like the right restaurant to rate. Ibiza is a trendy restaurant. The decor, the ambiance, and the menu are all wonderful. There isn’t much I would change about it.

I love that it has the feel of a lounge and a proper dinner club all in one. I also really like that it’s a place you can show up to dressed to the hilt, or in nice jeans and a shirt.

I am sad that they rotate their menu completely, but it does keep us going back time and time again to have the new chef creations.

It’s a great restaurant, or bar…the appetizers are always delicious, and my favorite drink on the menu is the mango tango.

I love going to Collins, whether it be for a quick drink (which there is no such thing at Collins) or a bite to eat.

It’s the perfect city bar meets the neighborhood bar. I’ve been going there since it opened, and to me the best part about this place is that the owner is there, on hands, meeting people, and making sure all is right.

The crowd is so diverse that it’s worth a mention. Being in the Smith Tower makes it the after work bar for many of those employed in the Tower. It also caters to people on their way to the art walk on the first Thursday of the month. Either way it’s a happening bar during happy hour, without the obnoxiousness of a meat market. and completely on the flip side it caters to brewers and beer aficionados with its brew master’s events and tastings.

The food is great, the ambiance is comfortable, the art on the walls isn’t always dead on (that would be the one critique), and the decor is very attractive.

I hate this place…I’ve been dragged to it twice now and each time I find myself loathing it a little more. Both times we’ve had reservations and yet the wait has been 35 minutes. What’s the point of a reservation if you’re still waiting.

The service is horribly slow, the food is on the lower end of mediocre, the drinks are middle of the road to bad, and the decor isn’t island beautiful, it’s island horribly tacky.

Both times we went we were with large parties (6+), and after taking bites of 12+ different items on the menu I still haven’t found one I’d ever eat again.

In short, don’t bother…if you’re in south center, and starving, you should eat ANYWHERE but Bahama Breeze

p.s. why don’t they have a drink on the menu called the Bahama Breeze?? wouldn’t that seem natural

There’s just no way to go wrong at CPK. I’ve been eating here for at least 10 years if not longer. It’s one of the few large chain restaurants that has phenomenal food. The quality of food is consistent, as is the service, and pricing.

I’m not a fan of Cheesecake Factory because to me it’s highly mediocre and over priced. CPK personifies what “tendy” chains should be.

I think more people should love hooters. It’s just an awesome restaurant. I’ve spoken to so many people about this restaurant, and the only reviews I get is: Oh boobs (from the men), and How can you like that place (from women). And I always respond with..so what if there’s women scantily clad..we live in a society where people dress in virtually nude manners on a Saturday night anyway so big deal I say. (I mean look at 1 out of 2 women in Belltown).

But really the food is GREAT!! The service is always super friendly. And it isn’t really a bunch of pervs gawking (there is the occasional one..but that’s it). The atmosphere’s a blast. I think the random singing and dancing is part of what makes it a fun place to be.

So I say ladies forget your inferiority complexes and feminist attitudes and grab some fried pickles and wings.

p.s. they even have a full bar now, which makes it all the more fun.

Either I picked ALL of the worst dishes on the menu, or this place just really is that bad. Boka epitomizes bad food being over priced, just because it’s downtown.

When I first read about this place I felt the need to check it out, mostly because the description said something to the effect of, “Seattle’s first truly L.A. restaurant” Being from L.A. and not knowing exactly what that meant, I felt it necessary to see what this was about.

Yes, it’s true, there are some restaurants like that in L.A. but we call those restaurants shitty, and stay out of them.

The drinks were over priced and poorly blended. The menu was a mish mosh of poorly put together stuff college kids eat, yet with a fancy description and a price to prove it. Meaning, I don’t really go out looking to eat pigs in a blanket for 7-10 bucks.

The service was slow and prissy, the ambiance dull and pretentious. I wouldn’t make the mistake of stumbling into that place again.

The wait staff is beautiful and the peach bellinis wonderful. Other than that the food is highly over priced and barely above average.

We were there not 3 weeks ago, a party of four, 2-3 drinks per person, main course, no dessert, and the bill well over $250. Now I ask you unless you’re going out for a steak why should the bill for two couples be that expensive without a wild night of drinking and debauchery?

This is a phenomenal spot for brunch (a very close second to Easy Street Cafe). Incredibly low key, friendly, and reasonably priced.

They don’t accept reservations so it’s a great idea to bring the paper ask the wait staff to bring you a cup of coffee, which by the way is free for those waiting, and enjoy the morning. Overall the staff is very friendly and efficient.

I love the fact that they’ve purposely made it such a low key place. Nothing in the restaurant matches, neither the tables, chairs, mugs, plates, not silverware. The portions are large and very reasonably priced.

I urge anyone looking for a great down to earth brunch spot to put this on the top of their list.
