Great Time

by CRichter

I frequent this restaurant / bar and needed a place to have a good size group ( 14) that was close to home.

I called and Peter called me back, He went out of his way to get us a nice set of tables downstairs on a busy Friday night. He and the staff provided a large, noisy group with great service.

I tried something I had not had before, the Mushroom Quesidilla and it was YUMMY!

Thanks again Peter, we will be back.

Good food. Service was not great.

by ag2

Our server was barely pleasant. Appetizers were great. One of the dinner was average (steak skewers) and the other one was very good. Will eat there again.

• Pros: Food was tasty - stuffed jalepenos was great
• Cons: Server attitude

Great neighborhood restaurant, but doesn't honor coupons

by SpecialPhysX

We really enjoyed our meal here at Mission, but were just so unhappy that the manager refused to honor the dine out coupon that we brought with us. Food is not inexpensive here.

• Pros: Food is good, decor is inviting, nice crowd
• Cons: Service is slow, Mgr refused to honor our coupon

By far one of the best!!!

by jeans71

We recently had a birthday party there, the service was over the top. We had a group of 37 and there was not one complaint from anyone! In fact they all can't wait to have their own parties there.

The food was very authentic and there is a reason they were voted best margaritas 3 yrs in a row!!

The owner went well out of his way to make this event special, by serving us himself all evening of course with help from the friendly staff. I highly recommend you go check out the Mission Bar you will not be let down. Not to mention the space is beautiful!

• Pros: Over the top service!! Amazing food and drinks
• Cons: I couldn't think of one the place is great!!!

OK food, great atmosphere..

by tracy8989

Been 2 times with a group of 3. Both times our food has been average. I didnt even bother taking my leftovers home the last time. It's a neat place to have a drink (seems lots of people were doing that). I dont think I'd eat there again.

• Pros: Good place to get a drink
• Cons: Parking stinks.. but thats West Seattle for ya..

Great food, great service

by janetkim1

I recently organized a birthday party for a friend at Mission and everything went off without a hitch. We had about 40 guests and the space was perfect for mingling and for a sit down dinner. The service was amazingly prompt and the food was great. The owner was great about communicating with me before the event to make sure all our needs were met. Thank you!

everything was perfect!

by Daners00

i'm all about eating somewhere with a great environment, and that is totally what we got when we stepped into mission. right away the hostess, the servers, the bartenders were all so friendly. what i liked is that they were not business friendly, but more like someone i would run into on the street friendly. the food was yummy. i recommend the guacamole with the plantains! the margaritas were tasty, strong, and absolutely lived up to the margaritas of the year award they won for the last 4 years or so. and try the coconut ice cream. by the end, my boyfriend and i were fighting over who was going to get the last bite.

• Pros: great boose, dark and lively environment, tasty food
• Cons: i dont live here!

Great staff, great food, great spirits, great atmosphere

by soodonim

I totally agree with supernova72. The entire staff is aces, beginning with Michael who greets and seats us with a smile and a ready quip. We?ve had the good fortune to be served at various times by Katrina, Dondra, Amanda, Meagan, Audrianna and other delightful people. Seth and Todd behind the bar are tops in their profession as are Art & company in the kitchen. Heck even Peter, the owner, came to our table to say hello. The warm and friendly spirit of this very talented group is contagious. We?ve always enjoyed the great food choices and the excellent service and everyone we?ve recommended to come here raves about the experience. We are very happy to have this very groovy establishment and these extraordinarily talented and lovely people in our neighborhood.

• Pros: It's walking distance!
• Cons: It's walking distance!

Gotta love the staff

by supernova72

Having lived in West Seattle for several years this is one of my favorite places to visit. What the owners have done to the interior is pretty amazing. Besides tasty food and beverages I especially appreciate the staff. I'm not in the industry but feel I know who gets it and who doesn't on the service side of things (a big plus at Mission).

IMHO Dondra and Amanda certainly seem to be the key members that keep this restaurant humming along and make it a must visit. It's not hard to convince my friends (male or female) to visit the Mission when I say either or both of them are working that night.

Fantastic good cheap eats at happy hour. Keep up the great work and I hope the "sassy" staffing model remains in tact. If I wanted a more traditional staffing approch, that would be a trip to the Matador.

• Pros: Great staff
• Cons: I keep calling it "The Mission" vs. Mission

Food is Phenomenal, Service is Okay.

by fuzzynavel

The food here is excellent. You can't beat it for some great Latin fare. The service was slow, as if they didn't have enough people on staff or something; the server was kind of scattered. The prices are not low, and you want good service if you're paying that much.
