    Every time we go to dinner at Betty, we are not disappointed. From wine to starter to main to dessert, everything was beautifully prepared and presented. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We didn't feel rushed to eat and leave, and the wait person paid attention enough to note that I had not finished my main, and asked (before I did) if I needed it boxed.

    Brunch here is always good! The bacon is some of the best in Seattle. Portions are large...so plan accordingly. It's lively the way any good diner should be.

    Jacob was a very wonderful, attentive waiter and Jeff was fantastic with his breadth of knowledge about wine and spirits. He recommended an excellent rye for me, a bourbon gal, and it was phenomenal (it was EH Taylor Straight Rye). The food was delicious and the beverages were very tasty. Highly recommend!

    We booked a reservation during Restaurant Week and had the absolute best dinning experience. The service was amazing, and Ryan, both Davids, Frank and Monica all made our experience so fun and memorable. The food was amazing and the drinks were top notch. Next time we are in Seattle we will be back!
