What People Are Saying About The Apartment Bistro

In Short – This jazzy, hip bistro makes the most of its narrow space with minimalist decor, sleek black booths and a patio that extends onto the sidewalk. Each table sports a fish tank, jangly jazz plays in the background and a flat-screen TV shows a constant loop of muted classics. The menu is varied, experimental and heavy on the fish--items include calamari fried with house-infused cucumber vodka, molasses-roasted king salmon and miso-marinated black cod.

Positively Spectacular Dinner & Martinis
by jackiemelton
Took my girlfriend for her birthday last Friday night along with two other couples, and was extremely surprised by how great the food was. We had been going to the apartment for drinks late night for a while now, and finally got a chance to try out the kitchen. Highly recommend the Miso Butterfish, and the truffled mac and cheese with smoked sausage....YUM! I agree with the other reviews that this place gets really crowded and noisy on weekend nights, but our server was very friendly, and even bought us a round of shots. Taking my co-workers this week for dinner, I'm sure they'll enjoy it as much as we did.
- Pros: Food/Stong Drinks and Nice Staff, hot looking crowd
- Cons: Tough to find parking in Belltown

Positively the BEST STEAK I've Had In Seattle!
by johnseely
Great Valentines day dinner for me and my girlfriend last week. Went here on a recommendation from a coworker and to say the least we were very impressed with our dinner and the friendliness of our server. Although packed for dinner, we were greeted promptly and got a great table. (Recommendation if you come here ask for a booth in advance-we got lucky I think). We had the Chilean Sea Bass and a 14oz Ribeye Steak which I think was better than Jaks and Gaucho combined! It came with perfectly cooked ouzo and balsamic greens. We will most definitely be back with our friends soon. Very hip crowd as well.
- Pros: Steaks, People Watching, Hip, Strong Drinks
- Cons: None I can think of but parking in Belltown stinks

Great New Year's Eve Dinner Party!
by carol2880
I've been to the apartment several times before coming for New Years with 8 friends this year. Although packed to the walls, our dinner was timely and fabulous! Most of us had the Filet Mignon or the Jumbo tiger prawns which where as big as mini lobsters. The bar was happenin all night as usual, and the owner and staff were having a great time along with us. We'll definitely keep coming back. A+
- Pros: Bar scene and the food is wonderful!
- Cons: Noisy and tough to find parking in Belltown
