Phocific Standard Time (PST) — Restaurant in Seattle

I visited this speakeasy on a Friday night with my husband on recommendation from friends. It is a very small place and mostly seatings are around the bar. Didn’t sound appealing to me but believe me it was fun! I would recommend going in small group of 2 or max 4. I don’t think they accept reservations but we got a table within 10 mins of putting our names. The drinks are amazing! Very flavorful and well made! I loved the dua dua coconut if you are a coffee fan you must try the ca phi tini! Cooling water is also refreshing. In terms of food, we had pho which is made in pho bac downstairs. We also had the tofu rolls and the broccoli cheese dip. My only critic is that the dip came in much later and we were full from the pho so couldn’t do justice with the dip. It was pretty cheesy and heavy. Overall fun time proof being I forgot to click pictures of...

My girlfriend and I visited this bar hoping for a pleasant evening, but our experience was shockingly unwelcoming. Upon sitting at the bar (choosing the middle and right seats, leaving the left corner open), the bartender abruptly told us we “can’t sit there” because she “didn’t want the seat empty.” When we questioned this (noting there’s always an empty seat in such setups), she falsely claimed another guest would be joining the group beside us. After confirming with that group—who said no one was coming—the host became aggressively defensive, raising his voice and accusing us of refusing to “understand”and we should “stop arguing”. When I requested the check, he dismissively told us to “just leave.”

The staff’s dishonesty, hostility, and lack of professionalism ruined our night. Avoid this place if you value basic respect...

The food was great and the service was awesome but the customer journey to get to this place requires a lot of attention.

When we first came into the restaurant, the first set of signs was for the restaurant but contradicted each other: it said sit yourself but there was a wait list to sign your name… which is it?

Secondly, the waitlist for the actual speakeasy on the top of the narrow flight of stairs which creates a bottleneck for people coming up and down. It’s dangerous. Why is the waitlist for the speakeasy not at the bottom?

Third, there was no waiting area for the speakeasy so we sat at the waiting area for the restaurant which caused confusion from both servers and patrons trying to get seats for the restaurant.

This specific part needs some tweaks to improve as the food and ambiance is worth...
