Where is the Best View in Seattle, Washington?
Our first visit was to our liking. We had a party of 18 people and they had set up the tables in a platformed area of the restaurant, so we felt we had our own little room, in a sense. The waiter, Noel, was very very accommodating, entertaining, and polite. The food was fresh (most of us ordered halibut), and the prices competitive. The restaurant sits right on the Puget Sound with the beach that adds to the whole experience. The restaurant definitely gave us that sea worthy feeling. Loved it!Pros + ViewCons – Small spacing, bad parking lot
I’ve been to the Lake Union Daniel’s several times for HH and dinner. The drinks (martinis) are always superbly crafted, the HH food is OK (it’s HH, after all) but the steaks we’ve had there have always been tops. I didn’t realize how tops it was till after eating at Jak’s Grill. Jak’s was above average but Daniel’s was even better. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is the waitstaff which can be inconsistent in service depending on the crowds.Pros + Food, Views on Lake Union, HHCons – Servers can be inconsistent
It’s been in business over 50 years and is still going strong. There are different rooms with different (relative) ambiance and options. They call themselves “almost classy” which is a stretch, but it is a kick and the food is perfect for what it is.You can order on floor one and either eat there, or on the third floor which is a nicer spot. They bring the food up to you and it doesn’t take long at all.The second floor has table service and a great bar along with the view. I was quite impressed with Manny’s ale which was new to me.I’m a major clam chowder fan. It is very good at Lowell’s compared to virtually all others around the country. But great chowder is the norm for Seattle. The burgers here are also great. The blackened salmon tacos in a corn tortilla work well for those who like a Mexican flair.Breakfast is actually supposed to be their best meal. I hope to try that next time around.
