About this business

The "13 Coins" name is of Peruvian origin. The story goes that a poor young man loved and wished to marry a wealthy girl. Her father asked what he had to offer for his daughter's hand in marriage. The young man reached into his pocket. He had only 13 coins, but assured the father he could pledge undying love, care and concern. The father was so touched, he gave his daughter's hand and "13 Coins" has come to symbolize unyielding love, care and concern.

Late Night Hang Out For Riff Raff – I went to 13 coins on 4th of July around 2am, it was quite unruly (very bad crowd) and no security in sight. As I approached the entrance I was harrassed by people who were outside drinking alcohol and picking fights. After getting my name on the waiting list, I was attacked and stabbed by these same people. While bleeding inside 13 coins I was told by staff that I had to leave, while my attackers were allowed to seek refuge in the back and hide a firearm before the police arrived. The hos... read more

Retro retreat – Looks like the Rat Pack could walk in any second. Leather high back studded bar stools, pendant lighting, and a relaxed staff all contribute to the retro styling. Food was delicious, but watch out! Not a place for dieters! They don't hold back on the oil! Dine at the bar and watch the cooks toss up a meal in the flames! Good place for after hours chillin' and munchies.

Horrible! What happened to this place? – Thank you for the worst meal I've ever had. The fatty meat. The raw vegetables. The waiter who acted like he just got fired. What the hell happened to this restaurant. I used to love going here. now its an expensive grocery store because no one knows how to COOK the food. Letting me know I wouldn't have to pay for your first mistake? Of course you took the first plate back. I can bet that even you wouldn't eat it. My second order, I'm thinking who can mess up manicotti but congratulat... read more

Stale and stinky fried onions! – I've heard many good things about this restaurant and had been wanting to go there for a long time. My boyfriend and I went for our 3 year anniversary and I ordered the filet mignon. The steak itself was decent but nothing spectacular. However, the fried onions on top of the steak smelt horrible. They had the smell of old oil, exactly like the smell of fried onions in a can that are 5 years old. I was extremely disappointed because it was obvious that the onions where either from a can or fri... read more

Don't Bother – Friendly waiters BUT hair in bread baskets, crumbs on floor, manager not happy to have these things pointed out; food way overpriced. This restaurant is not what it was in the past; surly management in these times means 13 Coins will be closing before long...

I still recommend it, especially if you want something in the middle of the night when nothing else is open. – For about five years I ate breakfast at 13 Coins almost every Saturday. It is a bone fide Seattle institution. Historically it has been famous for many things including huge portions, huge number of choices, huge chairs to watch the open kitchen cooking, and huge waits during busy times. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced, all things considered. Over the years it has changed hands. The portions have gone... read more

Customer for almost 20 years – My boyfriend and I have been going to the Coins for a very long time and it has always been our favorite for late night dining. We go there mostly for the chef's counter show which can be amazing and so much fun! It's great to watch the chefs at work and the interaction between staff and customers makes it an experience that you won't find at many other venues. Quite often if you don't want the side dishes that are offered with the entree they will substitute for you. We love having somewhere c... read more

Worst late nite dining experience ever. – These reviews tell the tale. 13 Coins used to be a great place. We went there and were so disappointed, the food was inedible, the service was at best incompetent. the place was actually dirty with food and debris all over the floor. There are so many great places to dine late in Seattle. I will never go back to 13 Coins, it's was a lot of money for horrible food and service. Rating: NO STARS SKIP IT!
