Ventana Restaurant

Culinary gem.. Every bite of food at this restaurant is heavenly. The chef gives common dishes a twist turning them into gourmet masterpieces. Happy hour specials make the already reasonable prices a bargain given the high food quality. The bartender David skilfully creates great cocktails.…

One of the Few Belltown Night Spots That Gets It Right. Belltown is filled with so-so restaurants that don't impress as far as dinner goes. Amber, Del Rey, Tia Lou's and many others aren't exactly foodie friendly. This makes Ventana a breath of fresh air! Excellent for happy hour (goes past 7pm!) or dinner! Great oyster selection, drinks are well made (no apple tinis here!) and the view is beautiful. Plus with a $6 shot & beer, how can you go wrong?

The fries are excellent with just a hint of truffle, they carry top notch bread and delicous entrees.

If you want a seriously good dinner in Belltown, Ventana is an excellent choice!…

Great view, but watch their liquor poor!. A group of us went there for a friends birthday, and a few of us ordered their "dirty parisian" martini. On the menu they list Grey Goose vodka, but we watched the bartender poor Pearl Vodka for all the martini's. There is a big difference between Pearl & GG vodka, and when you're paying $9/drink you should get what you ask for! So, I suggest you watch the bartenders poor if you specify the type of liquor you want.

Other than that the service is ok, but for Belltown the place is never crowded, the food is good, and the view is great.…

Amazing Service. I booked my birthday at Ventana, mostly for the location and because I was a big fan of Chef Joseph Conrad from now defunct Qube. I book a table for 8 people, they called the day beforeto confirm and as events happen I ended up with 12 for the evening. They were happy and accommodating.

The decor is very Belltown, with white chairs, doors that could double as windows (hence Ventana, Spanish for window) and great lighting. For a table of 12 ladies we had an adorable waiter.

The food was amazing, we all seemed to want the brussel sprouts they were so good! I also had the Korean BBQ beef shortribs He paired it with some great wine and the cocktail orders were perfect. When we were done, they brought out a birthday surprise, and were kind enough to have the order already split.

Ventana was the start to a great night. I've been back since for a drink and I have to tell you that the bloody boar is THE BEST bloody mary ever. Bacon vodka, chorizo salt, a piece of bacon as a stir stick, Yum!

It's a great place, the staff is very attentive and on point, the food is great and the location couldn't get better.…
