In Short
Upscale and sophisticated, this chain features art deco-inspired trappings such as dark wood, shiny brass and beveled glass. Servers clad in black and white weave through cocktailing couples and businessmen at the bar. The classic American, seasonally inspired seafood menu changes daily; specialties include starters of Dungeness crab cakes and oysters on the half shell, plus entrees like cedar plank-roasted salmon, sauteed lobster with scallops and rock shrimp, and seared yellowfin tuna with wasabi, soy and ginger.

Well, the rants must have had an effect! Even with a few negative reviews, I made reservations here for my husband and I for dinner before an event at Benaroya. Even though we were a half hour late (traffic and rain), and it was only an hour before the event, we were seated right away and our waiter brought drinks, salad, and entree, even dessert, promptly. He was professional, courteous, and made helpful recommendations. A manager stopped by our table to ask about our meal. The dinner was very good, the martinis were icy cold, and the service was the old-fashioned, professional kind that you only see at the very best restaurants. It's not trendy, and the beautiful people don't hang out here, but you really can't go wrong for a lovely meal and great service.
Pros: service, valet parking, classic cocktails, good seafood
Cons: ambience is businesslike, dark

I recently reserved the private dining room for my husband's 50th birthday. We had a party of 16 mostly family and a few close friends. Eric, the General Manager, helped me set up the menu in advance and made wonderful recommendations that allowed choices for salads and entrees. Before my husband and I arrived for the "surprise", the staff took care of my guests and did everything they could to make sure our group was ready. The food was wonderful and our wait staff was attentive, but not intrusive. I couldn't have been happier and everyone in our party enjoyed the food and the whole evening!
Pros: Good Service, Good Food
