"Beautiful Views. Horrible Food. Egregiously Priced. Stay Away. Angel Oak has the benefits of being perched on the edge of a ridge overlooking the ocean, and located on The Ritz Carlton Bacara property. As a result, they are able to charge extreme prices for the most basic of wines and the most pedestrian of foods. And, when I say pedestrian, I mean borderline laughable. My $25 Caesar salad was bluntly chopped romaine leaves with what tasted like Newman’s Caesar dressing. The $32 Duck Fat Fried Octopus was severely over-seasoned with some kind of pork rub (they call guajillo rub) and severely over-cooked to the point that it had the consistency of rubber. My $78 Double R Ranch USDA Prime Filet was the worst steak I have ever had at a restaurant. At fine steak houses I always order a petit filet done blue rare because it allows me to taste the quality of the meat. In this case, I mind as well have been eating Play-Doh because the steak was cold mush; with a sear. Based on the taste and consistency, this poor piece of meat was likely vacuum sealed, frozen, thawed, cooked (when I ordered it) and left under a heat lamp (until we were ready). The only reason I did not make a fuss is because my wife begged me not to. But, this restaurant should fire their chef immediately. Brutal."

"Food was disappointing. Nice view of the Bluff. Checked the menu on OpenTable: Lobster Tagliatelle was listed at $42. We were looking forward to order it. When we arrived at the restaurant, the menu said Tagliatelle $42, add Lobster $47. Lobster Tagliatelle $89!! We mentioned it to our server who said that several guests have complained about it and that the managers did not care. Outrageously overpriced. The food in general was not that good here; we did not finish it. Very disappointing after coming from Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch, where every dish and meal were excellent and we wanted more!"

"Wow... my 1st word. An absolutely 5 star experience when it came to drinks, food and most of all service! The steak was perfect and probably beats that famous steak house in Vegas. Dessert was so good that even though I was full I ate it all. And now that I am writing this I want more. I usually don't give 5 stars lightly as you all know, and if I could complain about one thing would of been the crowded entry way... but once you got in and to your area it was private and soothing with wonderful soft music in the background. I recommend anyone visiting Seattle.. if you want the best steak in town you must go here! Make a reservation ahead of time!"

"I'm really only giving Fountainhead three stars due to a decent experience downstairs. Upstairs probably deserves a one or two star rating. We came to Fountainhead on a whim as it was on of the first nice days in a while. We were quoted a 1 hour wait for the rooftop, which was expected, given the fact that it was dinner time and a beautiful night. We decided to get an appetizer and a drink downstairs during the wait. We were seated at the bar and both bartenders were fantastic! They were attentive to our needs and were friendly. We went with the cheese curds, which was probably the best thing I ate that night. Lucky for us, the one hour wait ended up being more like 35 minutes. This is where the night took a turn for the worse. The other reviews were spot on that the service on the rooftop was HORRIBLE. Literally some of the worst I have seen. It took almost 20 min to order and get our first drink (I ordered a vodka/soda and my husband a beer). The waitress didn't even take our food order after she dropped our drinks off. Another 20 minutes later, we managed to place our order. I got the fried chicken and my husband ordered the shrimp roll. The food took another 30 or 40 minutes before we finally received it. You could tell it was ready a while before it was dropped at the table because it was already cold when we got it. The chicken was average at best and the Mac and cheese was flavorless. It took us another 30 minutes to flag our waitress for a second drink and our check. She eventually dropped both off but then never came by to cash us out. I think after 20 minutes of waiting, we finally gave up and walked to the bar to pay our tab. She did finally stop by to ask us how we were doing, but never once apologized for the wait. If we come back here, I really hope it's not the same experience."

"I arrived at my 7:45 reservation for a table of 3. It took about 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and from there, everything went downhill. We had to wait an hour and a half for our food to arrive. Despite the restaurant being busy, waiting that long for two steaks, some pasta, and three sides is unacceptable. We also ordered a bottle of wine for two of us, which was empty before our food even arrived. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the experience and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. I would rate this place an F in all aspects."

"Excellent food and service from Jennifer's team. The red fish with lump crab was amazing! Wonderful flavors cooked right, incredible sauce and smooth mashed potatoes. The red snapper with mushrooms and capers was also a real treat. Alex was a pleasure to deal with and provided excellent, friendly service while answering questions and making suggestions. Then to top it all off we delighted in the Mississippi peach fried pie, dusted with cinnamon and sugar served with a vanilla bean ice cream and white chocolate sauce. It was absolute heaven. Crisp and clean flavor. Not overly sweet or oily tasting. Sheer perfection. You cannot go wrong dining at Walker’s Drive-In and which is why you probably need a reservation!"

"Wanted to love it after all of the great things I've heard, but honestly, everything was just ok. Our steaks were warm, but not juicy and hot. The two best things I ate were the brussels sprouts and the hot rolls in the cast iron skillet which were both wonderful!!! We had an early reservation 5:30 pm, but they seated us in the middle of the restaurant and I wished we were elsewhere. The desserts were okay, but I think they could have been better if they were hot. (We had the apple cobbler (hot dish, but cobbler wasn't hot and bread pudding which was cold. If we return, we will know how to request some different things. The service was very good and people were very nice; we were just underwhelmed with most of the food."

"This was one the last places on my list of Manhattan steakhouses to try and it did not disappoint. I loved the ambiance. Some might say it’s dated by I appreciate the classic style and decor. If you’re bringing the kids don’t sit in a booth unless you’re cool with all of the pin up era nudity, which I am. My friend and I ordered the porterhouse for 2, goose fat potatoes, drunken mushrooms, black truffle creamed spinach. I’m generally not a fan of peppercorn crust but they only do 1 side so I figured it wouldn’t be too overwhelming and went with the flow. It was perfect. Everything was perfect. The goose fat potatoes were the crispiest I have ever had. Overall I wouldn’t say that the appetizer or dessert selections were too enticing. I would have liked bacon but the way it was prepared seemed very excessive so I skipped it. It seemed more like bacon for people who don’t want to taste the bacon. The bananas foster baked Alaska was interesting. My friend was blown away by it so I guess we will just agree to disagree. It wasn’t bad I just didn’t personally love it. I will definitely be revisiting."

"The restaurant is beautifully designed and the chef clearly has a good understanding of food. We were excited to try many dishes as everything on the menu sounded delicious. However, our server's lack of hospitality made us hesitant. We ultimately ended up only ordering a few items. It's concerning when you have to initiate greeting your server. The overall experience was impacted by this weak link."

"The good: Beautiful space and deco and outstanding cocktails The bad: Service was very slow, seemed to have wait staff overextended. Server was nice and attentive when she was at the table, but had too many tables with larger parties. Not her fault at all. The average: Appetizers were not good, we tried three options. All disappointing. The meatballs were terrible, VERY dry. Entrees were good to average. Not really worthy the price. Would have liked to try dessert, but meal took too long and have to leave for another distillery tour. My advice, skip the restaurant and just have drinks at the bar."

"I have been trying to dine at Sakura for almost three years, but my schedule never aligned with their operating hours. During my most recent visit to Alyeska, I finally had the opportunity to eat there, and it was absolutely worth the wait! The atmosphere was charming, and the service was exceptional. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended a special dish for our three-year-old that wasn't on the menu. I enjoyed an Alaska Lager that paired beautifully with my King Salmon Sashimi. The Spicy Tuna Roll and Alyeska Roll were also incredible! The quality of the ingredients was outstanding. We spent just over $200 for a party of six, which I considered quite reasonable. Overall, our experience was definitely worth the wait, and we can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you, Sakura, for a wonderful dining experience!"

"Since this place didn't take reservation (very small place) we took our chance to just try our luck. We were seated less than a minute on their busiest night....as long as you don't mind sharing tables with strangers and made a few friends. The menu is decent and covers enough varieties. We picked a few basic and some unique dishes just to see how well they compared. We ordered the seaweed salad, crab tempura, black pepper king crab knuckles and the lobster crab lemon grass roll. The seaweed salad was well prepared. Not too sweet and it tasted fresh. The tempura was lite and crispy with a slightly more acidic yuzu dipping sauce which I liked a lot. The one thing I did noticed it the crab is not as fresh as it should have been. The lobster knuckles was somewhat ambitious and hit some high and low marks. High marks for creativity and perfectly studied stir fried veggies. Though the lobsters have a nice delicate thin crust, it's a bit more spicy (with jelopeno) version of the tempura sauce. I know it's a matter of personal preference but I think could be better if the sauce was on the side box you can't take it out if it's too much for the customer. The lobster crab lemongrass roll was the least favorite and disappointing for something that sounded very promising. The rice were a bit mushy for a roll and there were no lobster or crab. It looks like a normal surimi krab roll that's fried and serviced warm (yes it's another fried dish). Not worth the money... hence the missing star from my review. Overall they get a passing grade for service, quality but a bit lacking in the value for the money."

"Not recommend the ramen. It doesn’t taste good at all. Wasted $20 bill for that one. Recommend Seaweed salad, Hawaii roll( cilantro inside, i like this one) miso soup(not recommend, $5 super small bowl without seaweed or tofu inside at all) Maguro sushi and unagi sushi are okay to try. Nothing different with other places. The service is very very slow and no checking on us except bring bills and waiting for tips. No refills our drinks either. This is super small restaurant. Make sure you are okay with sitting in a narrow spot and share the table with bunch of strangers. Never been to a Japanese restaurant like this. But overall, the food were not bad. Just don’t order the ramen, very Bad one. Not worth the money at all. If you want pork belly or chicken, it will be extra $8 or $9. So the ramen will cost you around $30 but with a very flavorless tasting."

"This place is one for the books! I reserved this place to have my birthday dinner and I'm happy that I did, we even luck up and found a parking space in front of the restaurant. This place is beautiful and has an old school mob type vibe, not the people just the decor. The staff was cool, nothing above and beyond that stood out but no flaws to point out as well. The guy who controlled the operations of the restaurant knows what he's doing and stopped by each table to greet each guest when they were seated, after the food was served and before we exited. He kept himself moving and I respect that! Now on to the best part and that is the FOOD! We started with the margarita flat bread which was fresh and delicious each ingredient had its own individual flavor that blended so well together. It tastes like it was made by an Italian grandmother. The truffle fries were really good and had enough truffle oil so that you can smell and taste it on the fries. THE BRANZINO was absolutely delicious that butter sauce and those capers. The grilled branzino was cooked to perfection, even the peas that came with it were good and I don't even like peas lol. And the last but surely not least the skillet cinnamon roll, put it this way after eating this cinnamon roll you just up your standards on how a cinnamon roll should taste. It was flaky soft and fully cooked so no dough like texture or flavor. Watch my check ins for this place I'm going to become a regular lol."

"Awesome bands come to play here and that makes it worth the trip.!!! The price of the food is fair considering the ambience and the entertainment.. The food I ordered which was pot roast with mashed potatoes was stone cold when they delivered it which is totally unacceptable. I had asked to substitute a vegetable medley instead of the asparagus. Some of the carrots and broccoli were so hard, as if they had just been cut and thrown in instead of cooking them first. I normally get the stadium tenders or pizza and believe me that’s what I will get next time! The waitress was as attentive as she could be considering the large amount of people."

"We usually love dining at Ciclo. We are happy to pay extra for next level service, tasty food, and a great ambience. This was my husbands first time dining there, so we were hoping it would make a good impression. We sat down and were not greeted or acknowledged for almost 15 minutes. Our cocktails came out one at a time, over the course of the following 20 minutes. Upon getting our food, which was mostly delicious, our server had not checked on us or refilled our drinks. Other servers came by with a water pitcher in hand to top up our waters, but that was the most attentive anyone had been. When asking for a side of lemons (plural) for one of the guests iced tea, the server said no problem. After waiting 5 minutes, my friend went to the seafood table and grabbed some lemons that were meant for the shrimp cocktail. The server came by finally and slammed a bowl down next to her that only had one lemon wedge and said nothing and walked away. She slammed the bowl down so hard we were all quite alarmed and had to inspect the bowl to make sure it didn’t break. Needless to say, our experience was terrible, and not on par for a Four Seasons dining experience. We are disappointed. I’m not sure if they were understaffed that day, or our server was inexperienced, but the service was horrible. I want to mention that we are very pleasant, kind, and patient people. Normally we don’t complain or paint businesses in a bad light, but I feel like this needs to be seen by the restaurant so they can make some improvements."

"We had a wonderful evening. The food was great, our main server exceptional and the ambiance trendy. At the end of the evening we asked for a taxi and were told it is difficult to find one in Chicago. The gentleman who happened to be at the greeting area ordered us an uber. We thought we would pay upon arrival at our hotel but to our surprise we were told by the driver that the individual who ordered the uber paid for it! Thanking this gentleman personally"

"The perfect place for a business dinner: Fine food, interesting and lovely presentation, with impeccable service by wait staff who remember you from previous dinners. Our business dinner was productive and the noise level was just enough to provide a welcoming ambiance, but low enough to talk about business. Everytime we come into town, we make a point to eat here!"
