What People Are Saying About Mayflower Park

The Scene – The grand room maintains a relaxed, friendly atmosphere despite its luxe elegance. Tuxedoed gentlemen take their jobs seriously serving martini mavens during afternoon shopping excursions. Oliver's represents old-school cool with gold leaf-framed mirrors, wicker chairs, cafe tables and colossal chandeliers. Drinkers will feel like they've been transported to early 20th-century Europe while meeting with friends for a sedate get-together. – – The Draw – A classic menu serves up civilized bar fare such as crab cakes, Stilton salad, lamb dip, soups, salads and…
going downhill, try out some of its newer competition.

Oliver's is completely over-rated for many reasons. With its age and the increasing competition it is not the same it used to be. The only thing it has going for it is the free happy hour snacks. The food is terrible unless Andaluca happens to be open while you are there you can order off of that menu (pretty good, but overpriced). The specialty drinks are extremely outdated and I have seen other customers complain about them becasuse they are gross and the classics are made incorrectly. The bartenders are very inexperienced as I don't believe any of them have any prior experience judging from their technique and product knowledge. They claim to make the best martini in Seattle, when a martini is more than just overly shaken gin or vodka served in a big warm glass. One of the bartenders I believe his name was Patrick is extremely annoying and irritating, when I met him it was the last time I will go. Go to Zig Zag or one of the many other bars that cares obout your business.
- Pros: good happy hour
- Cons: bartenders, drinks
Great hotel with a great bar.

I live locally but when I want a quick getaway in the city, my husband and I stay here. I love the cozy feeling of the hotel and the bar.
Best martinis in town
by whynoteatout
By far, the bartenders here are some of the best mixers in Seattle. They also make good conversation and never let you sit for long without a drink. The wait staff is very experienced and everyone seems to work well together. But the martini's are OUTSTANDING! If you like watered down mixed drinks, you might have to ask for guidance. But if you like a martini the way it's supposed to be made, this is your place. The paradigm shift is the best drink downtown. Great happy hour after work and again, not enough good can be said about the bartenders!
- Pros: Martinis, the bartenders
- Cons: some of the bar food is bad, but the andaluca menu is close, so do that instead!
