Editorial Review for Waterfront Seafood Grill – by Jill Lightner
The Scene
It's the Titanic, with no iceberg in sight. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows provide even center tables with the feeling of sailing off into the sunset. Warm, light colors create a soothing background, and plush seating keeps you comfortable through luxuriously drawn-out meals. Diners are a mix of romantic couples and expense-account diners--no one seems to arrive alone. Service is attentive and knowledgeable.
The Food
Fresh shellfish from the bar provides plenty of appetizing starters, but don't miss the delectably sweet and crunchy spinach salad. Match one of four sauces with a plainly grilled fish steak for a fresh, simple meal. For steak lovers, the best option is the tenderloin, served with sweet onion ragout. Side dishes are sized for several people--skip dull fingerlings, but double up on chipotle-seasoned sweet corn. For dessert, choose a treat from the outstanding list of brandies and scotches.

The entire experience at this restaurant is wonderful, from the friendly valet, to the greeting at the front door, to the very attentive service. We've even rolled in (in workout clothes) from walking the sculpture park just for martinis and received the same great service... but felt very underdressed! This is a great date restaurant. Just try to get one of the big round booths... very private and romantic. And the sunset view is my favorite in the world!
Pros: View, Service, Food
Cons: None!

The quality of food is low; I had one of the worst salmon ever. The service is excellent, the place is ok (nothing special), they charge $16 for a glass of standard Shiraz. There are many places better than Waterfrond Seafood Grill in Seattle, like Canlis, for the same price.
Pros: good service
Cons: food and wine overpriced
