Six Seven

04/28/2008 Posted by pblake123

Things didnt start well when I was given instructions on how to eat my Tuna Poke. Pleeaase! How patronizing. We felt out of place because we were dressed, and everyone else was wearing the likes of bedazzled Mariners shirts and baseball caps. This place is a gaudy tourist trap for out-of-towners. We sent 3 dishes back, and were comped for none of them. $400 meal, poor service, poor food. There are a dozen restaurants in Seattle that beat this place away for less money. 1 star for the nice view. Fake fine dining.

My husband and I stayed at the Edgewater and dined at Six Seven last February and it was absolutely a fantastic time! The food was delicious and the view of the water combined with the romantic atmosphere of the restaurant made for a perfect evening.

Pros: Beautiful view of Puget Sound, great food

Cons: Pricey, so save it for a special occasion

I went to the Six Seven restaurant expecting an exceptional fine dining experience. Instead, I paid fine dining prices for formally presented but mediocre cuisine. The vegetables accompanying the meals were meager (the generous amount of asparagus described by our server was probably no more than two spears), undercooked (raw sweet potatoes anyone?), and reminded me of my last (and only) visit to the Village Inn. In the end we left the restaurant over $80 lighter (with no drinks or dessert), with nothing positive to say for our experience at Six Seven.

Pros: The view is nice.

Cons: The most expensive terrible food I have ever eaten.

This restaurant is on the pricier side, but seeing its location and interior we were not surprise. We were prepared to treat ourselves anyway since we were on vacation. We learned that one way to avoid sticker shock is to ask to see the menu before they seat you. The two of us ordered one appertizer to split and it was a splendid piece of heaven. Wish I had ordered another one just for me... For the entree, he had fish and I had steak. Both very good. Then we shared a dessert. They didn't charge a fee for spliting plates like some foo-foo restaurants do. Everything was a la carte so if you like your 16-oz steak dinner to come with all the trimmings then this restaurant may not be the one for you. Portions are on the smaller side typical of restaurants at this range. We didn't walk away stuffed, but certainly satisfied. The view was magnificent. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive eventhough we didn't order that much food and we only had tap water. Our overall experience was very memorable. If I get go back to Seattle I will definitely try Six Seven again. Such a strange name...

Pros: View, crab cakes

Cons: Can be expensive, but that is the price you pay for a fine dining experience

First of all, the price rating on CitySearch was 2 $s. That is inaccurate. It should actually be at least $$$. That really started us off on the wrong foot as we were a bit sticker shocked. I think the waitress noticed that on our faces as we didn't order the typical drinks, bottled water, plus appetizer + entree for each of us. Because of this, there seemed to be less attentive-ness from her as she realized there was not much tip to be earned from this table. I agree with the previous reviewers, the view is amazing. When the food finally arrived (~1 hr), it was actually pretty good, but the amount was so minimal - no wonder the menu had options for ordering sides. In conclusion, this is how I would rate: tastiness of food - 4, service - 2, value - 1, view - 4. I just think for the money, this is definitely not worth it.

Pros: View

Cons: Service, value

We went there last summer--and wow, the view is amazing. The food, however was anything but. Both my husband's meal and mine were bad, the chicken dry and tasteless. My ahi tuna was first served well-done (!) sent back (it was meant for someone else) and then when they served me again was a complete let down. The decorations are weird (lodge like, doesn't go with the view) and the service so-so. Save your time and money, try campagne or chez shea instead.

Starters: great view, and the food (the evening we went) was delicious! I was quite disappointed by the experience/service though -- we made a reservation for a group of eight, informed the hostess that a part of our party would need to arrive late, and showed up at due time. Unfortunately, the server wasn't in on the loop, and was obviously displeased to find out that a portion of our 8 people would be late. As such, we were told even before ordering that we had about 1.5 hrs to eat and get out (the table was needed). When the remainder of our party arrived, they were ignored for the first 10 minutes. After we flagged down our waitress, she determined that they'd have to order "faster" items to get 10 minutes to eat, then we'd have to leave. For the class of restaurant that Six Seven ought to be, the service is extremely poor. I would not return.

Although I have yet to know the origin of the restaurant's name, Six Seven, the place is definitely ideal for great seafood. Using the $25 special and arriving at 5:15pm, I ordered the crab cake for appetizer, the halibut for main entree and the ever popular trendy potde creme. The crab cake was simply wonderful. You get only one but it's loaded with lump crab in a buttery sauce that makes you want to order another one. The miso marinated halibut in carrot sauce was perfectly cooked. There's nothing like having perfectly cooked fish that just flakes with a swipe of a fork. The sweet potato underneath was a bit stringent in portion. The chocolate potde creme was average and didn't come close to Zoe's version. The dining area is located next to the bar so be prepared to listen to some dance music as you fine dine. Don't expect to hear Vivaldi or Bach as you sample exquisite seafood. The dining area is decorated in a neo modern atmosphere of faux trees with steel rods. The view is spectacular and warrants a repeat visit during happy hour while dining outside on the patio to soak in the sun while it sets.

Pros: Excellent Crab Cake and Halibut

Cons: Not your typical fine dining atmosphere

Oh my, where to start?! This has to be Seattle's best kept secret for delicious food with a view which mesmerizes! Our dinner here on Elliott Bay is surely a night to remember. This is definitely a place we will return with guests or on special occasions. It is expensive but well worth the price. The seafood entrees were perhaps the best we have had since moving to the area, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was remarkable. There could be no better view of Puget Sound in the city. We asked to be seated while awaiting friends who were joining us, and even though they arrived very late causing our stay to linger longer than usual, we were not rushed. I can't wait to return!

The location of this restaurant offers everyone a waterview and the sense of being relaxed and unhurried. Service is attentive and pleasnt. Breakfast /Brunch is my favorite because the menu offers a wide selection of Northwest inspired dishes that are high in quality and the morning seems ever more welcoming as the sunrays dance across Elliott Bay.

Pros: great food with a great view

Cons: make reservations
