Editorial Review for Brooklyn Seafood, Steak & Oyster House – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
Busy as it is, both food and service can be inconsistent, but the setting rates so high on the agreeable scale, patrons seem not to mind. Dining venues range from a copper bar to a diner counter and six-person booths to white-clothed tables. Everyone drops in at some point: brokers, bankers, tourists, shoppers at lunch, conventioneers and the full spectrum of adult Seattle at dinner.

The Food
Northwest salmon is a regular feature, but imports like swordfish from California, marlin and mahi mahi from Hawaii and ahi from the Caribbean are equally worth a taste. Steaks are corn-fed Angus; preparations include the standard (peppercorn-crusted; bordelaise-sauced) and the elaborate (medallions in demi-glaze flavored by wild mushrooms, port, garlic, basil and blue cheese; oyster-stuffed, bacon-wrapped). Anything having to do with oysters or grilled fish is highly recommended.

We were unprepared on a recent visit to Seattle and did not have reservations on a Friday night, so we decided to take our chances sitting at the bar for dinner. It was actually a delight to be sitting in a place where we could people-watch while still absorbing the ambience, and also be able to take advantage of our bartender's (Cheston)conversation. He was very attentive, helpful and personable providing sound recommendations on what we should do on our visit to Seattle. We both had steaks, and the New York Peppercorn was a standout. It was tender and flavorful and I thought about it for days later. I am extremely happy that we took our concierge's recommedation to give The Brooklyn a try.

Pros: Attentive service, ambience, steaks

Cons: None

2 Star Rating: Below Average

We went to Brooklyn's for the first time last night, and had a very enjoyable time. Roger is a first class waiter, and he enhanced our experience tremendously by explaining all the choices carefully, and entertained us all evening with little anecdotes and tidbits of information. We had such a good time that we neglected to notice the damage the valet parking did to our vehicle until the next day with the sun up. You should be aware that if you use the valet service, you waive nearly all of your legal recourse in the event of damage.

Pros: Our waiter, Roger

Cons: What else? The valet parking
