Where is the Best Lounge in Seattle, Washington?
I had the Moroccan lamb and goat cheese pizetta…delish. My girl had the Wagyu burger…who knew there were japanese cows in the Us. She loved it…said it was some of the best meat she had had in her mouth in a long time…Wait a minute (I just got that) We’ll be back because we don’t have to chop off our arms and my left testicle to have quality food that’s not boring…and hey we can afford a cocktail too.
I usually drop by once a month, usually to order a particular drink. Kevin, the bartender, has always made an effort to remember my name, make conversation, and ensure I actually like the drink. The attention is appreciated, and is more than you can find at most places in Seattle.Service can be slow at times, and food is decent but nothing great, but I don’t really understand who someone would want to go to a drink lounge for food anyway.Pros + Good drinks, nice bartendersCons – Older crowd, not always the most fun
My boyfriend and I decided to try this bar out. He found some positive reviews on the internet and so we decided to make it a date night! The happy hour was pretty well priced, calimari and lamb kabobs for about $3. The drink specials were average for a bar, and the bar tender was kind. However I will say that the table service was not so good. I noticed some of the other reviews have said this as well. We also had a female waitress that was very unattentative and she failed at charging the correct price to my card twice and then did not apologize. Also, my boyfriend gave her $10 for a $7 or $8 drink order and she never gave him back his change, and of course he would have given her the 2 bucks as tip, but in my opinion it is still rude to assume something like that ,as a server. I will be going back to see if perhaps the service might be better a different night but if it is the same as it was the first time i will never visit contour again.Pros + Great food, good happy hour prices
I love BOKA. The food on happy hour is unbeatable, and even at regular price its still not out there compared to other similar restaurants. The burger is delicious, and the atmosphere is as close to perfect as you can get in that area. You don’t even feel like you are at a hotel bar at all. What I don’t like is the service sometimes. Usually I am greeted with smiles as I make my way to the bar. The bartenders and cocktailers are friendly, professional, but not overbearing. They are always willing to go out of there way to make sure the experience is perfect. I’ve even seen a bartender go into the kitchen to find ingredients to make drinks for guests that aren’t even on the menu. So imagine my disappointment when I was in on a quiet Sunday, and was waited on my a bartender who made me feel as though my very presence inconvenienced her. There was no above and beyond, and not even a concern for my empty glass. I guess I’ve just learned not to go in on a Sunday. Pros + Food, cocktails,
