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…

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
Bustle pervades lunch and dinner rushes--avoid the busy bar and grab one of the cunningly designed private booths.
Parking:
Pay lot is located in the Washington Mutual Tower garage on Seneca (one-way heading west) between Third and Second avenues before 5pm. Complimentary valet parking after 5pm.
Save Money:
Happy hour is at the bar from 4pm to 6:30pm, with great deals on appetizers and drinks.

Amazing food and fabulous service!

by FWG at Citysearch

This place exudes class. The wait staff was extremely courteous, on point and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. Mouth-watering foie gras atop a large scallop with two types of sauce and a juicy, cooked to perfection filet mignon wrapped in bacon with an oyster in the center, atop a bed of spinach and scalloped potatoes. Drinks were divine, ambiance was perfect, all in all a fantastic evening! You will surely enjoy this dining experience.

Very Disappointed

by My2Cents at Citysearch

I visited this establishment on a recent Thursday evening by reservation. The Brooklyn is a good restaurant. Having said that, there are many things to bear in mind when you walk through the door. Every effort is made to present an upscale appearance; from valet service, to full oyster bar, extensive wine and liquor menu and smartly dressed staff, elaborate plate presentations and high prices. Despite the facade, however, I was disappointed at every turn through the evening. The waiter, who at first was affable, attractive and accommodating, became less and less so through the evening, even spilling the better part of a scotch sampler all over the table. I ordered a Basil Gimlet, which was surprisingly good, and felt it a good omen for the meal; I was wrong. The restaurant was loud, making comfortable conversation difficult. The appetizers (caprese salad and Ahi Tuna Tar Tar) were elaborately presented, but were difficult to share (small). Moreover, the Ahi Tuna was of poor quality (tough and stringy). This did not bode well for my dinner entree, for I had requested for their seared Ahi Tuna, which had been described as "sashimi grade" by our waiter. However, the fish I received was of the same poor quality as the appetizer, and was attended by an underwhelming sauce and vegetable side and a strange, not entirely appetizing herbed noodle. I chose their creme brulee for dessert, which was good, but the price was inconsistent with the quality. I guess this is the underlying theme to the entire meal, mediocre quality for gourmet pricing. I was not paying the tab, so I felt it inappropriate to complain, but I would have given the manager an earful if it had been my onus. There are too many good restaurants in Seattle to waste your evening and your paycheck here.

  • Pros: good cocktail (basil gimlet)
  • Cons: mixed service, mediocre food, high prices, loud

Beware: They think having crawling things in your oysters isn't nasty, it's natural!

by ameezy at Citysearch

The Brooklyn was a long time favorite -- so much so that I brought all my friends and family there and even went for a few of my birthdays. No longer. Tonight, there were creepy crawlies on the oysters. (Can't post any words that would alert the authorities on this website.) Once we complained, we were told they are "natural". They eventually comp'd the check -- but that was after my mother and girlfriend were pretty visibly disgusted. I don't think they even inspected the oysters to be sure they could continue to serve them to the rest of the guests. So, if you ate there tonight -- you might have gotten some unexpected protein...
