We had Aperols and they were amazing. The ribeye (to share) and the ahi tuna appetizer were my favorite. The views are stunning and make for great pics. Staff was great.

Great view and vibe. Pricing doesn't really align with food quality. It is very difficult to get an outdoor table despite calling well in advance. Beware they consider an enclosed pavilion by the bar "outdoor seating".

Impeccable food and cocktails, with practically a 360 degree view of Seattle from South Lake Union! Service is friendly, warm and professional. MBar is a must for impressing your out of town guests. We loved every bite and sip!

Great view, decent food. Service was so-so, our server disappeared and never returned—to the point where we skipped a round of drinks and couldn’t get dessert.

Service is not the best. Our server did not come around for quite a while. Drinks and food took forever to come to us considering there wasn't many people there. The only reason to come back is for the views.

This place is over hyped. My food was cold, part of it was raw/uncooked. Super dissatisfied with everything about this place.
