Ode' to the old hurricane

by odogbrown

I once believed 611's coffee was the best. i told everyone but in recent days thier coffee quality has suffered a decline to the pits of downright nasty and they dont even seem to care.

I spoke with the owner margret and she seemed to care even less then the rude gratuity demanding troll who made the nasty cup for me and was too proud re make it. His name is justin the short bald insecure troll with too many tattoos as others here have correctly referred to him.

I was a regular customer but now its over. Apparently other functions of the owners business take higher priority over the quality of the coffee served and re makeing a cup is out of the question.

Seattle is the coffee capitol and we love our coffee, If you are my favorite place to buy coffee and you screw that up and don't even care enough to remake a cup that i payed for then its over ...

611 you might has well close the doors, you lose!

• Pros: none anymore
• Cons: the fiber of its existance

Get over yourselves!

by Je11yBe4nz

I can't agree more with CestMoi08! The service is slow and rude. The crepes are soggy and tasteless. I went there with some friends and when we walked in and said hello to the two women who were working there, they ignored us. When we asked if we could have a table, one of them sighed loudly showed us to a table without saying anything to us or making eye contact. Really? Is it that hard to be pleasant? The food took forever even though it was a slow weeknight.

This place is not worth your time, unless you enjoy being treated like dirt by pretentious hipsters or if you're in the mood for a totally forgettable meal.

• Pros: None, really...
• Cons: Bad service, No reservations, mediocre food

DO - NOT - WASTE - YOUR - TIME!!!!

by CestMoi08

I'm not kidding-- do not waste your time at this high falutin' dump. I went to this place ONCE when I first arrived in Seattle years ago, and I went again recently to meet some folks there. I hadn't planned on eating anything until we were told that we had to spend at least 10 dollars if we wanted to have an additional table for our large group. The waiter said that particular night was a big one for them and they expected to be slammed with a lot of customers. The only people that trickled in consisted of a couple here and there. And an occasional boozehound that sidled up to the bar for their usual. Slammed my a$$.

As for food, they are STILL disappointing! What a bunch of self-important fools. I am no longer astounded by Seattle's utter lack of taste in food and how people here will continue to eat uninspired food because the 'ambiance' might be right or it's the 'hip' spot to be. So the 'jambon' - the ham crepe was an embarrassment-- look, essentially the dish just consisted of what amounted to SLICED DELI HAM FROM A LOCAL DELI-MART WRAPPED IN A BLAND, DISEASED LOOKING 'CREPE'.

The short, bald, tattooed waiter was a rude b@st@rd -- his insecurity is apparent and shameful. Where are the standards in waitstaff? Why aren't the owners embarrassed to have a person representing them that has no class or tact? Well, what can really be expected if the food's lousy-- if you have no pride in what you dish out, I assume, you could care less about who serves the food. I am unsure as to why this is called a French restaurant. Seriously. Is it because they use French words to describe their food? French food is not that boring! My god! My god! It simply isn't. Here's what I?ve come to discover about this lovely land that is Seattle - if a restaurant feeds people who do not expect any better, then the restaurant really has no standard to aspire to. The audience/customers are grateful for any schlock thrown in front of them. Come on Seattle! Demand more! Demand better!

• Pros: pretty walls.
• Cons: idiotic staff, disgusting food--absolutely bland and uninspired through & through.
