Restaurants near Hard Rock Cafe Seattle

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the food and drinks are superb, so is the view and so is service (for the most part). I almost always order from the special or seasonal menu, and this time was no exception. Winter salad, scallops, special drink and espresso. The ingredients are simple but masterfully prepared. Sometimes difficult to get a reservation, so worth planning ahead. Highly recommend.

I’ve been to Ben Paris previously for dinner and had an amazing server by the name of Hatti or Hatty? She pronounced it as “Hat-Tea” and she definitely left a lasting impression. She recommended a pasta with a certain type of beef, which was outstanding. Came back into town with my family who have never been to Seattle and immediately booked a breakfast. The meals were just as delicious as the dinner meals. Highly recommend dining here not only because of the food and service, but the location is the best (one block from Pike Place Market). I’d recommend parking in the parking garage across the street which gives you easy access to everything, which I believe costs about $26 overnight, but definitely worth the price due to location. A+++

I chose this restaurant simply because the description sounded interesting to me. We wanted to eat out for Thanksgiving and the more traditional places were either closed or closed to further reservations. There were some TG-ish options available, but we decided to go Asian for the meal. We had the Seven Elements soup (a Thai take on chicken noodle soup with a curry flavor and crunchy noodles on top) as the starter, the Green Curry Chicken, and the Assam Prawns. Everything was delicious! I was impressed that the last section of the shell had been removed from the prawn while leaving the tail in place. The restaurant sits on the corner of 3rd and Union, but the entrance is farther down 3rd Ave than I expected. Signage on the sidewalk or hanging above the sidewalk would be helpful. We found a parking lot about a half-block away; evening parking rate was $10.

The Thanksgiving dinner at The George was a nice experience. Attentive service, although the bar seemed to be slow at getting a cocktail to our table. Some inconsistency with portion sizes - a huge bowl of (delicious) brussels sprouts but just a tiny serving of gravy? Would have liked some stuffing. However everything was tasty.

Great space and views. Our wait person was very sweet and personable. Appreciated the entire experience.
