What People Are Saying About Wild Mountain Cafe

A former Crown Hill home transformed into an environmentally friendly comfort food cafe.
Editor's Tips
- Happy Hour:
- Enjoy half off bottles of wine every Sunday night.
- Fun Fact:
- Wild Mountain Cafe prides itself on being "green," with a mismatched set of second hand dishes and a recycled waterbed headboard for a bar.
Great Happy Hour

Drinks are good, and the food is great! I had the happy hour greek salad, it was huge and only $5! They make their own pies (they have a display case in the entry) and it was good (Peach)!
Good Food, So-So Service
by indioblue at Citysearch
I've been wanting to try Wild Mountain Cafe for some time so I took the opportunity when a friend from out of town came for a visit. I liked the decor and homey feeling and I must admit that the pesto chicken sandwich was delicious and an excellenet price.
However, we felt as if the server was disinterested in us. She asked us what we wanted which was fine but she read the specials to other patrons and not to us. She never stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying our meal and she never asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. At the end of our meal, she did not ask us if we wanted dessert either and it seemed like she was tryihg to rush us out of there. Keep in mind that it was not busy and there were plenty of empty tables.
In the end, though the food was very good, I will not be returning.
hit and miss

We love their fried chicken and their chile rellenos, but the last few times we've been here they seem so disinterested in us as customers and we had to wave them down whenever we needed something. The servers seem bored. Twice they took our reservation but didn't hold it. Once they had given it away to someone about two minutes before we arrived (on time, I might add.)
We might give them a try in a year or so, but right now, they are off our list.
- Pros: some menu items are great
- Cons: apathetic and slow service
Best Cinnamon rolls in Seattle
by kendrawb at Citysearch
Very comfortable homey place to eat, only the food is ten times better than what I cook at home. Large portions, tasty unpretentious meals, made with fresh local produce. You will never leave hungry. You have to wait to get in for breakfast, but it's worth it just to sink your teeth into the huge cinnamon rolls brought warm to your table. I always get the Eggs Benedict which is perfect every time. The Bloody Mary's are great as well. Hard working cook staff put a lot of care into the dishes.
- Pros: Breakfasts, cinnamon rolls, fried chicken, scollops
- Cons: there can be a wait for breakfast
I guess brunch is better

Went to WMC last month for dinner with friends for the first time. The atmosphere is homey and nice, the service, drinks were all good. I was underwhelmed by the food. I had the fried chicken and a chocolate cake. The chicken was average and the cake was dry. Our friends that suggested the restaurant could see our disappointment and kept saying how good brunch was there and that it was always packed on Sunday mornings. It definitely wasn't packed there on our Friday night and my conclusion is that it's because of a mediocre dinner list.
