Sazerac Restaurant

Serious fun and damn good food

  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • Happy hour & prix fixe menu
  • Private dining and catering

Since opening in 1997, the Seattle Times has said, "This southern-style spot is destined to be a Seattle classic." The 185-seat Sazerac--named for a potent New Orleans cocktail--features a high-energy atmosphere. Its open, high-ceilinged room, elevated exhibition kitchen and vibrantly designed interior - featuring handcrafted steel-frame chandeliers and distressed copper structures - make for a stylish destination.

Executive Chef Jason McClure highlights Southern dishes like flash-fried catfish with lemon-whipped potatoes and jalapeno-lime meuniere, and cider-glazed pork back ribs with sweet corn-brioche bread pudding.

Sazerac relies on Southern hospitality: The restaurant staff makes everyone feel at home, visitors and locals alike.

Editorial Review for Sazerac Restaurant – by Jill Lightner

The Scene
Big booths, bright colors and sweet Southern accents on a strangely high percentage of the waitstaff add up to relaxed, fun atmosphere. The signs order diners to "shut up and eat," but with so many dishes sized for sharing, expect plenty of conversation. Servers check in regularly and keep everyone happy with sincere recommendations, flirty smiles and regular refills.

The Food
While the menu changes frequently, one thing is consistent: Every little thing is house-made. An outstanding ingredient is the andouille sausage; try it on a thin, crisp pizza or in a thick, rice-filled gumbo. Cornmeal-coated catfish is tender, and the fresh-ground burger is wonderfully juicy; a creamy vegetarian choice involves soft dumplings, artichoke hearts, peas, mushrooms and plenty of butter. It's imperative for chocolate lovers to save room for the warm pudding cake topped with fresh cream.

I recently went to Sazerac for business meetings for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner was delicious and I highly recommend the pork belly. The server was very attentive and personable. Breakfast on the other hand was seriously lacking. It took about 30 minutes just to submit our coffee orders let alone order breakfast. There were perhaps 6 other tables that were occupied, three servers, and yet it took forever. Thankfully we had time, but the service was seriously lacking, not once did the server come by and ask us how everything was, nor did he offer refills on our drinks until we were done with our meal. For a restaurant to charge the prices they do with nearly non existent service... It was pretty appalling. The other thing to keep in mind, if you check out this restaurant, is the limited menu selection. Considering there are so many amazing restaurants in Seattle, given the option, I would go elsewhere before coming here.

Pros: evening service

Cons: morning service, limited menu, prices considering all of the above

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Tried it, loved it, can't wait to go back. After 1st reading about Sazerac on City Search, I went with my sisters for my birthday. We all loved ordering from the unusual menu choices, and the setting was fun, and casual even though we were dressed for the 5th Ave. theater (which was just down the street). The service was super friendly and you could tell the employees liked the food and were happy to suggest.

Pros: menu, service, fun

Cons: parking
