Overpriced for OK tasting food, horrible service would never come back again! – My husband made dinner reservations for our wedding anniversary on april 5th, 2008 and he asked if he could reserve a window seat but the hostess told him to "just tell them when we get there". When we arrived, the guy who checks us in at the front desk was not happy at all, did not greet us with a smile but with a long face instead and all he asked was "what time is your reservation?". The elevator operator guy was very nice to us, in fact he wa... read more

Fine dining for those who appreciate a fine dining experience. – We had a wonderful meal last Sunday. After reading the previous review I was a little hesitant but I have dined there several times over the last 20 years and its always been a good experience. The Steak and Lobster were excellant and my steak was cooked as I had requested.There was a question as to how well done the Lamb should be prepared but our server was very helpful and directed us in the right choice. If you enjoy fine dining with a view this is the only... read more

disappointing staff, food, drinks, & decor – We had our company party at The Space Needle's Sky Line Room. Luckily the kareoke & good company helped take the attention away from the staff, food, drinks & decor! The bartender was flat out mean & rude. Just looking at and smelling the food was enough for me to decide not to eat (I had heard they had bad food, but did not expect it to be that bad). My martini was served in a water glass (enough said ). The decor is simply stated 80's (aka 20+ yrs too old). Overall I would descr... read more

Even the view does NOT make up for all the problems with it! – Plain and simple - DO NOT EAT THERE! I cannot stress this enough. Great atmosphere and view should generally be able to make up for some other problems, and it barely did so here. At $40+ per entee, you get a well presented dish (credit given where due!) that is not too far removed in flavor form tree bark - that was my halibut. Similarly, soda noodles were so sweet you'd think it was a desert dish. Not to mentioned the tofu in it - rubber. Deserts, the lunar exp... read more

overpriced food with an unbeatable view – The restaurant at the Space Needle was extremely disappointing from a culinary standpoint. The menu choices were limited and when the food arrived, it was mediocre to average, certainly not what one would expect given the high prices of the entrees. For example, I had a prime rib that was about as tasteless as one would get at a hotel banquet facility. The view of course can't be beat - you get the whole Seattle skyline and the bay from a vantage point like no other in the city. My r... read more

Don't eat there! – I live in Seattle for many years and always heard very mediocre review for the restaurant at Space Needle. I had some out-of-town friends who really want to try it so I took them there. It was a VERY BIG MISTAKE. I had expected the food to be mediocre. Indeed the food was not very good. The service was even worse! Our table was not ready until almost .5 hour after our reservation time. Because they were running so late, they decided to hurry us. We did not get any bread even though we specifically ask for ... read more

Surprisingly Great Food – I've been reading reviews about the restaraunt and it's new management this summer, trying to decide if I really did want to take my out of town boyfriend there. In the end, I did and it was definitely a great choice. Obviously the reason to go is for the view, which you should be sure to request a window table for, but the food was surprisngly great! I had the Alaskan King Salmon with a Thai ginger seasoning and he had the seafood pasta and both were lovely dishes. They also brought a complimentary... read more

Don't go for the food – The only reason to go there is the view period. The food isn?t even good enough to be half the price it is ? really. My partner ordered a steak medium (he like meat cooked, it?s very sad) ? it came completely cooked through, no pink at all! Ack! I ordered the lobster/linguini dish ? the lobster, what little of it there was, was TOUGH ? and I mean chewy tough. Oh gosh, it was terrible, shockingly bad. Our waiter was very nice and very attentive. The appetizer was unimpressive, but fine (crab cakes) and... read more

Try the icecream dessert ! – They have a signature dessert that smokes like a volcano. It's really cool looking and tops off an enjoyable meal.
