Shauna CauseyDecember 2, 2012One of my favorite spots in the city to catch up with a friend. High booths, comfortable seating and it's not too loud. The breakfast and brunch are amazing--something for everyone.
Monika SalitaAugust 1, 2011The pulled pork sliders are divine! Best ones I've had in a long time. The cider was good, as were the bleu cheese fries, especially for someone who isn't a big fan of bleu cheese.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Anji PAugust 21, 2018Just ate a delightful breakfast here - their granola is phenomenal, tastes like a German pfefferneuse cookie, and the raspberry jam for my English muffin was bright and tasty. Svc was excellent.
Melissa YeeJanuary 3, 2015Negroni is a kick in the mouth in the best possible way. Late night happy hour - get the lamb meatballs
Nima TalebiFebruary 22, 2015They'd never heard of the Aussie flat white, but made an effort to make one anyway. "Green"s turned out to be just rockets. Bacon here is quite different to AU bacon. Poached eggs were swimming.
Jack ReevesSeptember 17, 2014Oysters on the half shell is the best thing on the menu. Throw in a few whiskey gingers and you've got a perfect meal!- BrittneyMarch 8, 2011Love this place, especially if you just want to hang out either alone to read their stacks of old books in their library, or a magazine with dinner or a drink, or with a friend.
Melissa HowesJuly 12, 2014I'm wondering....do they feel they should not offer to get you a new drink or wait on you so you can relax, orrrr???
MaganApril 18, 2017Not the best place if you're a wine drinker like me. But, if you're into scotch, they have an amazing selection!
DenMom & MoMo WAugust 3, 2014For me, the renovation is nice, but preferred old version. Service is the same. Very compatible to other high end hotel bars.
Kuber SharmaAugust 21, 2013Quite, hidden place with super helpful staff who'll serve braekfast during lunch and vice versa
Elisa CanteroJune 20, 2013Quite possibly the best hotel-associated bar I've ever been to. Wonderful service, food and spirits.
Marcos SherwoodAugust 27, 2012Blue fries and bloody Mary's are amaze-balls!!! Have Steven make it!!!! Emily is super fly!!!
Jenny CampbellNovember 13, 2011The corn beef hash is crazy, crazy good. Every restaurant makes theirs a bit different. This one is stunning.
JP StallardAugust 8, 2012Good cocktails well made. And if not sure, sweet vermouth on ice will make anyone happy
Great collection of single malts and other whiskeys. Food ranges from good to fantastic. Staff are awesome! Read more
Frank FrisbieJanuary 15, 2013The burger is one of the best I've ever had. And in a bit of a burger expert.
Paul UngerDecember 14, 2011Great vegetarian options! Delicious food :-). Cozy .. Great little hidden gem!!
Marilyn WelniakMarch 14, 2013The drinks are kind of overpriced and the venue is small, but I really like the decor and atmosphere.
HemaJuly 9, 2010The 'Power Lunch' special is a great deal! Choose from a menu of soups, 1/2 salads, 1/2 sandwiches, or dessert: 2 items for $10 or 3 for $13.
DreDecember 22, 2014Had a bad experience here. Checked my statement a few days later they added 10 bucks tip for themselves. I called them to dispute and they never got back to me. Drinks were so so. Never coming back.
Elizabeth L.January 17, 2012HH 4-7pm daily, food specials $4-7, drinks $4. Cozy little pub library. Friendly staff.
Nicole GustasMarch 29, 2010I have left a coupon for a free drink in a copy of the Umbrella Guide to California Lighthouses at the Bookstore bar. Let me know if you find it!
Eric TigreNovember 21, 2010Stopped in for a drink early on a Sat evening with friends but bar staff could not be bothered to acknowledge us. Maybe that's why patrons were leaving. No service, no problem. Go elsewhere.

"Formerly Qwest Field, this is the home of some of the best gameday food out there. Grab a S’pacific Salmon BLT at the Catch! stand (sec 214, 230) or give some Caffé Apassionato coffee a try."
