OG Jonah First of all the atmosphere was amazing. It feels like I was in a movie set. I had a really nice seat with a wonderful view of the Ferris wheel and the water. The staff was extremely friendly. I think it’s a friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered at any sort of restaurant establishment in my life. I forget my waitresses name that she had red hair, I think, but regardless she was so friendly. 10 out of 10. The food was amazing. So are the drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. The dessert was amazing as well. It was a nice way to end my Seattle trip. Would definitely recommend I would definitely come back.

Eugene Chang Headed to JOEY U-Village for their excellent happy hour deals – runs daily from 2-5pm and late night Sunday through Thursday from 9pm to close. Pleasant surprise being handed a complimentary glass of bubbles when checking in with ID, really sets the tone for the experience. The happy hour menu is extensive with some genuine deals. Food quality is consistently good and the year-round heated patio is unbeatable for Seattle dining. Easy parking makes it convenient to pop in without the usual Seattle parking headaches.

Michael St. Denis Right on the water and convenient. Were taking the ferry and had an hour so hopped over to get some food. They have a walk-up area with some seating right on the boardwalk, and then inside. They have casual Cafe eating and dining with inside tables that has a more limited menu, and then a full dining room with a full menu. If you want to do that, of course that takes more time. Service was great. Restaurant was very nice. Your view is great z

Missy C The service was great and the drinks were even better! The food was good too, but for some of the prices, I dont know- I guess I expected something a little more. The baked cheese was delicious, but you only need 2 of the 4 foccaccia pieces because theres not enough cheese to warrant all 4. The burger was a little on the small side, and though it said medium it was more like medium well. I still went again, but passed on the burger and went for schnitzel *which was delicious! It was cute how they had themed drinks to the Paramount theater across the street.

Corey Durham Great food, cool ambiance and an excellent happy hour menu. I had the Tidal+ Wagyu Burger and it had an outstanding flavor. It was extremely juicy. I had the Oysters of the Day, and they set the bar very high. The Seafood Chowder and Band Bang Shrimp were both great!!! Highly recommend. It is diagonally across from the Hyatt Regency in Seattle.

Alex Nguyen What a wonderful place to get brunch and café items around Seattle! Lots of unique items you can’t get elsewhere and I love the Japanese American fusion take on these breakfast items. A very beautiful space and even more beautiful looking food items. My favorite was the Japanese American breakfast set which the egg was the tastiest but everything was great, great service. I highly recommend and would come back.

Malini Ghosal Great place, great vibe, great ambience - full of life, and of course great food! Generous portions and fair price too. As someone visiting from out of town, it felt like there were many regulars and a sense of community among them and the staff which was wonderful to watch - a treat in itself watching people having a genuinely good time! Highly recommend! Oh thanks for the wonderful french toast with fruits and custard which was a very specific third trimester craving.

Maha J We recently hosted our wedding dinner with family and friends at Aerlume and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. The food was exceptional, the view was astounding, and the service provided was attentive, professional, and seamless. We were so impressed with the attention to detail and thoughtfulness shown by Scott , Kate, Margaret, Matt, Mark and the rest of the team. Every detail was handled with care, creating a warm and memorable atmosphere for our guests. We greatly appreciate the Aerlume team’s effort in making our celebration such a success throughout the planning, helping create customized menus and drinks to day of coordination and everything in between. We will gladly recommend the venue to anyone seeking an elegant setting with outstanding service.

Ryan Lemay The Island Beard My wife and I walked in for dinner and the restaurant was clean and on the water and looked very nice inside with the wood and oyster selection. We told them we are visiting Seattle for our 15 year wedding anniversary. When we arrived to our table they had an anniversary card for us. Our server Edie was very knowledgeable of the oysters and a delight to have as a server. My wife’s halibut was grilled to perfection and my prawn and scallop risotto was absolutely divine. The manager gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. Overall, an outstanding experience and we highly recommend this restaurant.

Amber Walcker We celebrated my birthday at The Pink Door and it was absolute perfection. Service: Hands down - best service weve probably ever had. The timing and times our waitress stopped by was perfect. The other staff would take plates when they saw they were empty, and frequent water refills. Everyone was attentive, kind, and looked like they genuinely enjoy their job! Food: Incredible! We had two appetizers (oysters, cheese balls), two mains (bolognese and the special: scallops), and two desserts (cheesecake, chocolate cake). Everything was so delicious and perfectly priced. Drinks: They only have a few wine selections but they were perfect with our main dishes. Also, the dessert wines were excellent! And coffee was fresh and really flavorful! 10/10 will return! Recommend making reservations.

José Costa Rodrigues I normally don’t get this excited about a restaurant. But this was one of my best experiences so far in 4 years living in the US. The restaurant vibe is great, it feels comfy and welcoming. The staff is quick and polite. The food… incredible! Just check the pictures. You guys deserve 5 stars without a doubt. Thank you!
