It’s kind of wild how busy this place gets, especially since the sushi was pretty subpar. The real perk is the clearly labeled gluten-free menu—huge win—and the happy hour prices make it more appealing.
But let’s talk about the service. Hawaiian shirt and mustache man—yes, you—our waiter. You quite literally stopped serving tables mid-shift to hang out and laugh behind the bar with your friends. We could see you. It wasn’t slammed. You just… opted out. Our food was delivered by kitchen staff, we never got drink refills, and after our plates were cleared (thanks to the ever-diligent dish crew), we sat for another 30 minutes before finally flagging someone down to pay. As we were walking out, you cheerfully waved from behind the bar with a “Have a great day, y’all!” So… you did remember us?
Despite the laughably bad service, the gluten-free options and happy hour prices might bring me back—but next time, I’ll cross my fingers for a different server.
Highly recommend!! We went here while on vacation and it was a great experience! I have a gluten allergy and our waitress, Jessica, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind whenever I had questions and was super accommodating! The menu was also labeled with which items were GF as well which was very helpful. Everything tasted great!!
I gave 4 stars because although they have a lovely selection of Gluten Free pastries (muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies), the soy latte I ordered came out burnt and sour! The muffin I got was good though and nice location!
Honestly, I was pretty disappointed, we picked Hatch because we saw that they had an allergy aware menu as our family has some gluten and dairy allergies.
The automatic 20% gratuity means that everyone checked out and couldn't care about doing their job, or trying their best.
We waited a long time for any service, even though we were some of the only people in the restaurant, we eventually ordered everything all at once, once the server introduced herself.
Thankfully, our server understood the allergies, and we didn't have any allergy issues (which is the reason for the second star)
Everything else was terrible, and not worth the effort or the price.
The food was lackluster, the rice was overcooked and under seasoned, the meat was under seasoned, chewy, and super greasy. The service was terrible and I would have 100% considered not tipping at all I was so disappointed, and then to find out that I automatically tipped 20% was a pretty frustrating.
Won't be returning.

We went to Rocco‘s and had gluten-free pizza and cocktails. They were absolutely delicious and the vibe was stellar. also, the Greek salad was amazing.
Had a wonderful meal here while in Seattle for business. Needed to take clients somewhere nice but also safe for me to eat with Celiac.
Menu was clearly marked Gluten Free and both hostess and wait staff made extra notes that I had celiac.
There is a decent amount of gluten free options to enjoy and not be left feeling like there’s only one or two things on the menu you can order.
Had zero issues after eating and 12 hours later still feeling good.
Atmosphere was awesome, oysters were fresh and amazing and the Scallops and Prawns were flavorful and delicious.
Great meal and great night out.
I was in Seattle for a conference and came to Tidal twice because it was so good.
The oysters, fish and chips, cocktails, and even desserts were phenomenal. Clearly, because I had to come back for their weekend breakfast (not pictured because I ate it so quickly).
A special thank you to Veasita, George, and Manty (I apologize if I misspelled names). They were so helpful, personable, and charming. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back for happy hour! I only wish I didn’t leave before the shuck and sip class, I would have been the first to sign up.
Note: AMAZING gluten free options here!
I am not sure if they were overwhelmed, but they were not quick to provide service and I had to flag them down to ask to order, or for anything.
Gluten Free crust was fine, but seemed like the Udis version you can get from the grocery store. I love a good sauce, and this was just kind of bland to me.
Overall, a very “ok” experience, nothing bad, but I wouldn’t go back.
Of all the places I ate on my 10 day vacation, this was, by far and wide, the best food and atmosphere experience. The server was very knowledgeable about allergies and made sure my Celiac self did not get glutened. I will gladly go back the next time I'm in Seattle.
This place is amazing! Great service and yummy vegan food with gluten free options. The vegan salmon was like nothing I’ve ever had. You order drinks at the bar and food from the QR code on your table.
Our family of 4 were thoroughly impressed with the quality of food at Romio’s Pizza & Pasta. My daughter and I shared the Romio’s Special with traditional crust. It was absolutely delicious! My wife ordered the gluten free crust with Canadian bacon and pineapple. It was one of the best GF crusts she ever had- very close in taste and texture to non-GF crust. My son (a picky eater) ordered the tortellini and ate until he was full. Great service and a comfortable atmosphere. When in Seattle looking for pizza again, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Went to watch the NBA finals. They have a great sports bar set up with TVs everywhere you look to see the game. Good sound coming through the sound system. We had a reservation, otherwise might not have gotten a seat to watch.
Great drink selection with tons of options on tap.
Minus a star for lack of great gluten free food options. The truffle fries weren't that great
From my 10 year old and 7 year old daughters: “The food was delicious, the best Chinese food in my life! We should give it 6 stars. You have to try the Mongolian Beef, but it’s a little spicy, the tea was great and the egg drop soup was delicious, the best in my life!”
Definitely give this place a try if you’re visiting, really fantastic Chinese, fresh and loaded with flavor! Everything in family style to be prepared to take food home. They can also accommodate gluten free without sacrificing flavor like sometimes happens.

The food is delicious and the service is incredibly fast. I really appreciate the variety of options on the menu, including special dishes from the chef and traditional Thai fare. It's great that many dishes and curries can be made gluten-free. Overall, a fantastic experience.
Nice atmosphere and talented waiter. Food was disappointing. The Milanese was tough, the side dish of kale had an identity crisis not knowing if it was cooked or raw, the apples on the kale were very firm, again some uncertainty whether they were intended to be cooked or raw. The dish ate very dry. The orecchiette had a decent sauce but the pasta was overcooked. The arugula salad was a bag of greens with salad dressing. On the positive side, the salad was not overdressed and the dressing was distributed evenly over the salad. We did not get the soft egg offered with the salad, perhaps that would have improved it. The restaurant was crowded so seems popular with other diners. They offered gluten free options which was helpful to some in our party.
I am gluten free and they had a specific menu for me and most of the food on it was the same as the regular menu. What a treat! The food was delicious, the server was super attentive and I like the simple elegant style. I will be back.
Absolutely delicious in every way! This place is a MUST GO if you're nearby! Highly recommend the mango sticky rice. Take the spice levels seriously.
In-person menu says they can accommodate keto, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free food if requested.
Cold pizza, unfortunately. Delivery in Seattle is notoriously expensive, and this was no exception. I ordered a 12" pizza on gluten free crust and a small salad, and after taxes, fees, and a decent tip, my total was over $56. I needed to stay in with a sick kiddo, so delivery seemed worth it this time. In general, the pizza seems good. Unfortunately, it was cold upon delivery, and as we're in a hotel, we have no way to heat it up. Gluten free crust tend to harden when cold, and this is no exception. Very crunchy around the edges. I don't know if this is an issue with Slice, maybe. When the delivery driver called me the caller ID said Doordash, so maybe it virtually changes hands a couple times before someone picks it up.
We came here on a Tuesday night and it had a line out the door. I think maybe because the hostess didn't know how to utilize other people to help her seat people. It's a nice place located on the lower lever of Pike Place Market. However, waiting outside for your table is quite interesting as the market staff or city workers (it wasn't clear which) washed down the steps and streets/flooring within the center with fire hoses to get rid of the urine. It's almost as bad at Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
They sat us and immediately took our drinks. Our group ended up drinking four bottles of wine. I had a Moscow mule and they made it exceptionally well.
We ordered a number of appetizers for the table:
Arancini - these were fabulous and large in size.
Focaccia - this came with a garlic oil, but was not over the top with garlic flavor. Truthfully, they shouldn't charge you for this and just bring it to your table. Charging $4 per order is silly.
Sauteed Calamari - my friends said this was pretty good, but I'm allergic, so I did not partake.
Next, we ordered our meals. It's a hard menu for those with some dietary restrictions. One member of our group needs gluten free options (there was only one pasta dis (though he could have had the gluten-free pasta with any pasta dish). He didn't want steak or chicken as you could get those anywhere.
I really like gnocchi, but it came with a heavy cream sauce. I could have asked for the bolognese, but its made with veal and lamb, neither which I'm a fan of. They had some more seafood dishes, again, I'm not a fish person (just basically eat shrimp). So I ordered the chicken parmigiana (I normally don't order a fried chicken breast that is smothered in marinara and covered in cheese and then baked, because there are generally better pasta options, but not here. It's very frou-frou.
The chicken parm was fantastic! It came with two chicken breasts and atop a heaping pile of small shell noodles covered in marinara and parmesan cheese. This is easily shared with two or three people. I would have brought it home had I lived there, but reheated in my hotel room the next day would have been gross. We were so stuffed that no one got dessert.
Don't misconstrue my 4 stars for a lacking review. The food, drinks, and service were phenomenal. However, my opinion is that the charging of bread for the table is kind of tacky and it's definitely more of a frou-frou Italian place. If you're looking for more staple Italian dinners, this is not your place. However, it is great for groups, and perfect for a nice dinner or date night.
Very clean! Our server is very kind and helped me navigate the food due to my gluten allergy! I forgot he name but she's super cool. My food is delicious breakfast sandwich with GF bread. My husband had breakfast burrito!
This is my 4th time here, they just rotated their menu. All the food we had was delicious. I especially loved the mussels! I normally don’t eat mussels but their mussels are fresh and flavorful. Our group had people that are vegan, gluten free, and dairy free, they were able to accommodate all of us.
How Fern doesn't have 5 stars I do not understand... Me, and at least four of my co-workers here at Supergenius Tattoo order from them every single week. Twice a week for some of us.
I have never in my life had Sweet & Sour Chicken knock my socks off... and last week, it was the Garlic Lovers with chicken! Mind blowing. The homies get the Crispy Garlic Chicken religiously- and I've devoured the Phad Thai, and Pad Kee Mao as well.
The flavor is absolutely sensational, every time.
(and the S&S, and Garlic Lovers, and Phad Thai, are gluten free!)
I had gluten free fish & chips and a cider, it was great.
Simple and unpretentious, good music and chill vibe. they have a good me u im excited to come back and try different things. I dont think its grounbreaking but it's a tasty comfy spot in Cap Hill.
There were a few gluten free options and the staff was very knowledgeable about which ones could be made GF. The sushi was pretty average and the atmosphere felt pandering to white people. Overall it was decent and I didn't regret going here. Decent happy hour prices.
I had lunch with friends today for the first time at Kokos in Capitol Hill We ordered the guacamole and chips, ahi sashimi, and chopped salads, along with a couple of Cadillac margaritas—everything was excellent. The sashimi was fresh with just the right amount of jalapeño and pickled onion. A friend of mine is gluten free and pescatarian and we struggle to find places to eat out but this menu had a lot of options for her.
The ambiance was spot-on for the restaurant’s vibe, with lots of natural light, cool lamps, and a cool winged dog statue in the bar that added to the character. The music was a bit loud but not overwhelming. The only minor drawback was the service, which was a bit slow, as the hostess was also juggling table service and making non-cocktail drinks. That said, it wasn’t unbearable, and the quality of the food and drinks more than made up for it.
Overall, great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere—I’ll definitely be back!
Gluten Allergy People - their food marked GF on the menu is made in a shared fryer! If you have celiacs, this isn’t the place for you.
EDIT: In response to the message from SPIN - perhaps I was looking at a limited menu, but I talked it over with one of your managers and attempted to request multiple menu items, only for him to ask the kitchen and they said each one was prepared in a space/manner prone to cross-contamination. Celiac folks, YMMV, but I was disappointed to have that experience after seeing things marked “GF” on menu photos online. For an intolerance/minor reaction, you would doubtless be fine.
Best pizza in Belltown! Initially started ordering here because they have a gluten-free crust option, but we keep ordering here because both the GF crust and regular crust are the best delivery pizza we can get in Belltown and the price isn’t exorbitant like some other places in the neighborhood. (Note: I’m not celiac, so those with celiac would need to verify with the restaurant regarding cross-contamination)
The gluten free crust is excellent - no soggy bottom and holds up well even with multiple toppings - and is about the best GF pizza I’ve had in Seattle in general, and I’ve tried many. And my partner likes their regular crust better than other pizza joints in the neighborhood. We have only ever done pickup or delivery, so don’t have comments on the establishment itself, but the folks are always nice and the pizza is always delicious!
I am so, so sorry to leave this review but it may help others that are also trying to treat themselves in these hard times...
My order was one: $34 pasta (after automatic service charge and tax etc) Beef & Pork Ragu with Papardelle– but I'm gluten free so it was a different noodle, and that part was fine! No GF hate review here! I know my misfortune with this dietary restriction.
The sad, unfortunate part is that I opened it to see zero cheese on the pasta... not a crumb, not a shaving. I cried inside and proceeded to try and eat it as is, only to finally check the bag again in the trash and found a tiny ramekin of cheese hiding! So, that is my bad... However, this ragu not only tasted like spaghettio's (I'm so sorry) 😭 but there was maybe 2oz of meat crumbs in it? The foraged, lost cheese couldn't even save it...
For $34 I'm devastated. Do with that what you will, friends. I swear on my saint of a mother, I normally only write good reviews... This was necessary.
I found this place while visiting. I have a sensitivity to wheat, I was disappointed to see only two dishes that are gluten-free. Despite the fact that there are only two options on the menu, they were quite good: the sweet and sour cucumbers and the hot and sour glass noodles. LOVED them.
Lived up to the hype and then some. Menu was thoughtful, service knowledgeable and friendly, chef very accommodating of gluten free adjustments (had gf pasta and bread available and open to substitutions even on happy hour menu), portions were shareable, food was delectable locavore fare, drinks were innovative, and waterfront view was the cherry on top. Overall a luxurious experience at a reasonable price point. Lovely lunch with friend after the SAM Hokusai exhibit - this will be a new tradition. Park 1 block up hill at the garage on Union (under the SAM) or use valet. We were able to book table for 2 with a view with a phone call at 2.30pm on Saturday - less than 5 minute wait. Recommend reservations for peak times.
Chef Kirin Chun and staff were absolutely magnificent. I needed a safe gluten free meal and it was fabulous. From the initial contact about our needs, to the execution of our meals, to the spectacular service and ambience we could not have been treated better. I highly recommend El Gaucho Seattle without reservation. The best meals of my life have been enjoyed there! Well done!
Visited last week on a trip to visit family. The food was delicious- don’t sleep on the shakshuka or pastas - and the cocktails were unbelievable. Lots of gluten-free options, including house-made chocolate molten lava cake. It was too rainy and cold for the patio, but Sicily took good care of us inside, and we had a really lovely time.
Ask for some honey butter if you have any kind of bread product. I could take a bath in that.
Got a gluten free pepperoni and omg.... That was an absolutely DELICIOUS gluten free pizza. Well done, Pizza Mart. You made the perfect ending to our one night in Seattle.
I really liked it. I ordered the Mushroom veggie one. All vegetarian, gluten free hot pot. Good amount of vegetables. All the different mushrooms was so fun! Tasty broth. You get to pick with white rice or the vermicelli noodles (90 kcal packet). The noodles were good! And they had four different sauces to dip the veggies and stuff in :D I will be back! Most affordable hot pot in Seattle I found so far :)
