Help me, I'm ADDICTED!. Hi, my name is Joe, and I'm an addict. I started using (ordering) the Imperial Mix Up dish for brunch years ago and I can't stop. It has taken over my will to branch out and try new things for brunch. My family encourages me to try new places, "go somewhere else for pete's sake!" I can't and I don't feel ashamed. The friendly service and great food keeps me coming back for more. Is it brunch time yet?

Home-cooked taste. This is a great little find if you're ever in the neighborhood. They truly serve up some serious comfort food, and a great burger! We came here for a friend's birthday for the first time a couple of years ago, and halfway through dining there was a power outage! The staff was great, and nobody felt panicked, but they began lighting candles and it turned into an even more intimate setting. This is a must-dine establishment during the summer as the cool air can stream through the restaurant and you really feel as though you've found somewhere that is not typical of Seattle.

Great service, great food, family friendly!. We love St. Clouds. We went there before having a baby and now it is one of our favorite places to eat out. The food is always great and the service is friendly. The outdoor garden in the back is a real treat in the summertime.

Love it. Great neighborhood joint, and always welcoming of you whether you are dining with a crowd or alone. Good food and great drinks as well, if a little on the expensive side.

Excellent. The food is great, cool atmosphere, the service is consistenly excellent, and it's a real fair price. My only caution is that they serve really, really heavy comfort food. But it's sooooo good.

try it again. Some of the older reviews of St. Cloud say that the service was terrible. Maybe they have hired new people since then, or maybe they just improved over time, but now the service is usually pretty good. The waiters and bartenders are friendly and outgoing, but not in that "hi, my name is steve and I'll be your server today" obnoxious sort of way. The the menu is small but the food is all good and the specials are usually amazing. If you ate here during the restaraunt's first few years and were disappointed with the service, give it another try and you should be pleasantly suprised.

Sounds like a nice friendly place. . .. but this was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in or out of Seattle. Food was mediocre, service was also mediocre until we got kick out of our table in the bar so regulars can claim the spots. Incomparable rude service.

Amazing!. St. Cloud's far exceeded expectations (which were high to begin with).

The pumpkin ravioli appetizer was amazingly flavorful. Our meals included: Penne in a sundried tomato pesto sauce (which you can order as a vegetarian meal or with chicken and pancetta), Parmigiano-Crusted Pork Tenderloin, and Mediterranean Chicken. Each meal was flavorful and colorful- with the meats tender and moist. And the sweet potato burbon pecan pie was the perfect ending to this delicious meal.

Also check out their margaritas- absolutely the best I've had anywhere in Seattle!

Neighborhood hangout serving upscale comfort food with a generous hand.. The Scene
Owners Paul Butler and John Platt named the place after the orphanage in "The Cider House Rules," hoping to impart a sense of warmth and welcome. Locals duck into the dimly lit piano bar to see familiar faces, then slide over to the dining room for dinner. Servers are eager and informative, even offering an occasional sample of wine.

The Food
Simple home-cooked meals are the draw. Start with the near nirvana-inducing portobello pizza (request the chicken-apple-sausage topping), or the bread salad with sauteed shrimp, dotted with tart pomegranate. The aptly named "Home for Dinner" section of the menu offers a succulent herb-roasted chicken. Or choose to go "Out for Dinner," which roams the world for flavors and ingredients and changes seasonally.

The Secret Place. St. Clouds is my first destination when I take friends to brunch or dinner. The staff takes care of me and my guests as if we are family.

Not once I have regretted taking my friends and family here. The people that I have brought to St. Clouds are ALWAYS please and cannot wait to return.

I promise you will fall in love with the owner and the staff! And of course the food!
