Editorial Review for 13 Coins - Sea Tac – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Visitors find privacy in high-backed booths and counter stools, all of which are padded in tufted dark-brown leatherette and accented with low lights. The counter seats are perfect for watching the cooks grill steaks and flip omelettes. Favorites include the steamed clams in pesto broth, any of the frittatas or omelettes, the French onion soup and spaghetti carbonara. A courtesy antipasto platter starts the meal off right.

13 Coins was unlike any restaurant in town. Where could you go to get a 5 star meal, outstanding service and great variety at 11:00pm any night of the week? Only 13 Coins. And... luckily there were 2 of them. My husband and I had eaten there at least twice a month for 18 years of our marriage. Yes, it was beginning to lose it's luster and needed a good facelift... but the food was still amazing always... and the wait staff professional and enjoyable. We always had a great experience. During one of our visits we were informed that the restaurant was changing ownership and aske us to fill out a short questionaire asking us what we would like to see change and what was important to us... not to change. It was a month or so before we returned... to find things so different we were devastated. Had they not listened to their faithful customers at all? They removed items from the menu... includind my favorite all time meal... Sweatbreads 13 Coins!! Our favorite chef had left we were told, and it seemed as though the mood of the chefs as well as the wait staff was down and chilly. We had a mediocre meal and left never to return. It has been at least 18 months since we have been back. I only left my review at this time because I ran across this website while looking for a recipe and felt the need to air my opinion. Perhaps miraculously the new owners have listened to the complaints... and from talking with friends and collegues... I know there are many... and brought back the menu and the atmosphere that was 13 Coins!! Maybe we will try them again someday.

Pros: Still some good items on the menu.

Cons: No different than any other chain restaurant now.

This restaurant review guide is censored; it won't allow certain words to post, so please email me directly: kkmorris at gmail if you want to know why I was lying on the couch in extreme pain for a week after eating at this restaurant. An important note here is that this is the only place I ate out in 3 weeks and at home I eat only rice, beans, steamed veggies, fruit, etc. (not even eggs at home.) . In other words, it most definitely was this place that rendered me immobile in great pain for several days.

Pros: Open at 5 am when waiting for an early flight to arrive at airport across the street.

Cons: Food is actually inedible unless you fancy being knocked out on the couch for a week in pain.
