What People Are Saying About The Cloud Room
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
The Scene – Opened in 1926 atop the Camlin Hotel, this venerable establishment was once the height of sophistication (Sinatra visited back in the day). Eleven stories up, it now barely reaches the knees of downtown high-rises. – – The Draw – A handsome, dark-wood, clubby place, the smoky lounge draws singles--old and young--on weekends for piano music and flirtation. In the dining room, couples in green Naugahyde chairs soak up city views. The (often noisy) kitchen produces a short menu of contemporary Northwest/Mediterranean food: filet mignon, tableside Caesar salad…
Editor's Tips
- Celebrity Sightings:
- The Cloud Room is a great place for celebrity sightings: Actors and musicians performing at the nearby Paramount Theater often drop by for a drink.
- Reservations Required:
- If you're planning on having dinner with your cocktails, call ahead--diners must have reservations.
- Watch Your Wallet:
- The great view comes with a price--liquors are significantly pricier than most downtown bars, so ask before you order that top-shelf scotch.

GONE
by JDWalley at Citysearch
If you notice, the last of these reviews is from 2003. Can you guess why? The Camlin was bought out by a new company, and the Cloud Room was closed down and turned into a quartet of timeshare penthouses. So, sorry, but this Cloud Room is no more -- yet another classic Seattle landmark to fall victim to yuppification. Too bad.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Defunct since 2003

delightful all around
by esmerelda at Citysearch
The first time I stepped into the Cloud Room, I was delighted by the view. The food was exceptional (I was there for breakfast and had a traditional meal.) On subsequent visits I have been equally impressed. I usually have lunch there (my favorite is the wonderful veggie sandwich.) There is something for whatever mood I am in. When I do have dinner there, I am equally pleased, although the show crowd can be hectic; the Camlin is right across from the Paramount. FOr Dinner Only just make sure to leave at least an hour and show up on time and you'll be cool.
- Pros: Great food, good prices, great view
- Cons: n/a

Delightful Surprise
by SeattleGourmet at Citysearch
The Cloud Room Restaurant is one of downtown Seattle's hidden treasures. From the sparkling skyline view to the exquisite food, the Cloud Room at the Camlin Hotel is superb.
I started with an appetizer of artichoke and arugala dip served with pita. It was redolent with fresh herbs and cheese- and there was enough for two! I then had the lamb that was done to perfection and served with delicious roast garlic mashed potatoes. My date had the seafood ensemble- a dungeness crab cake nicely perfumed with saffron, a filet of halibut crusted with pistachios, and a filet of salmon with fresh herbs- each with it's own wonderful sauce.
The service was nicely reserved in keeping with the Old World charm of the room. The wine selection was modest yet appropriate.
I heartily recommend this fine establishment to anyone looking a romantic getaway in the city.
- Pros: Intimate Dining, Exellent Food

WAIT STAFF HAS GOD COMPLEX
by jzlotnick at Citysearch
I was appalled at the poor quality of service my friends and I recieved. Two days later I am still waiting for the drinks I ordered. The waitstaff is more concerned about their own needs than the customers. Someone needs to remind this restaurant they are in the SERVICE industry. Without customers, there would be no business. It is clear to me they have forgotten this and think the world revolves around the staff rather than the opposite. With all the great locations in Seattle, I highly recommend, you skip this overly smokey, has-been location.

HORRID SERVICE & MGT
by karlathar at Citysearch
HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!
YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THE CUSTOMERS YOU HAVE RATHER THAN RUNNING THEM OUT! YOU MIGHT WANT TO LET YOUR WAITRESSES KNOW WITHOUT CUSTOMERS SHE WOULDN'T BE PAID. FOR THE MANAGER AND BOUNCER - REMEMBER THE CUSTOMER MAY ACTUALLY BE RIGHT!! I'M RECOMMENDING TO ALL MY FRIENDS THE CLOUD ROOM SHOULD NEVER BE ON THE LIST OF PLACES TO GO!!!!!!!!!
- Cons: WAITRESSES, MANAGERS, BOUNCERS
