Columbia Tower Club

✨ Thanksgiving Brunch with a View ✨ If you’re looking for an unforgettable Thanksgiving brunch next year, I can’t recommend the Columbia Tower Club on the 75th floor enough. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality, making the experience feel truly special. The food was not only delicious but beautifully displayed—every dish looked like it belonged on the cover of a magazine. And of course, dining with sweeping views of Seattle from the 75th floor made it all the more memorable. Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends, or just treating yourself, this is the perfect spot to enjoy the holiday in style. 🦃🍴🌇 ❤️~ Sadie Eagles Elite Travel Solutions

From the Amazing people who work at the Tower Club, to the Breath taking views, the wonderful area’s to work and focus. I love everything about the Columbia Tower club! And then you add on the delicious food, and expert service and staff. You’ll be in love with the Tower Club as well!!

Tl;dr Solid food, frustratingly slow service (2hrs+ to get through the meal), hidden "service" charge. We went to the Tower Club for a celebratory dinner on a Wednesday evening. Had a reservation and a plan to do the SRW menu. We were promptly seated, but that's where the promptness ended. Drinks were ordered and arrived after a small wait. About 25 minutes after ordering our meals, our starters finally showed up. We ate quickly after waiting so long, and our plates were cleared for about 15 minutes before the server came to check on us. I ordered another drink. It took awhile to show up, then was nearly gone by the time our entrees showed up. That's because it was a full hour between starters and entrees. As soon as we finished mains, our server said she'd get the dessert out soon. It was cheesecake, so the assumption is it would be out in a few minutes since they only need to slice and garnish it. We even joked that it would probably still take 20 minutes for them to prep. That was not the case. It took close to 40 minutes for our dessert to come. And once it finally came, I had finished eating it before our server came by to ask how the dessert was tasting. There were so few touch points over the course of a more than two hour dinner that it felt like we kept getting forgotten about. And it wasn't a packed restaurant, by the time our dessert came we were one of 4 tables left. If the kitchen is short staffed or there's been an error in preparing our meal, just let us know. But our server rarely checked on us between courses and our conversation kept turning to just how slooooow everything was, which really detracted from the experience. On top of all this, once our check came, THAT is the moment our server let us know about the 20% service charge that apparently is not a gratuity. My question is this - WHAT SERVICE? Yes, they do mention it on the menu, but it's hidden down in the middle of a fine print paragraph at the bottom of the back page, not clearly stated anywhere or mentioned upon seating. If you're going to add such a high service charge rather than just charge more for your food, fine, be passive aggressive like that. But don't try to hide it from the customers, be honest about your business practices. It was already an extremely disappointing experience, only made palatable by the views and the burrata. Ending with a surprise 20% add on for nothing left the worst taste in my mouth of all. When we arrived, we kept commenting on how reasonably priced everything was and how maybe we should make this a monthly dinner spot. By the time we left, all we could talk about was how slow and disappointing the entire experience was. For such an incredible location. I wish they would do better, but we had to remind ourselves that it's a restaurant in an office building, so maybe our expectations were just set too high for the reality of the restaurant. I would only recommend coming here if you're trying to kill time and are able to expense the meal. Not a good date spot.

Great service. When they overcooked a filet, they corrected it and removed the charge. 🙌 There were some inconsistencies in the menu that could improve. The Spaghetti Nero is a squid ink or seaweed pasta, but it wasn't described on the menu, and my wife had problems digesting it. The smash burger was fine. The charcuterie board was bountiful. The drinks were fantastic. Plush furniture. Found some neat corkscrew artifacts. Great views all around; and that's why this is an incredible spot and puts it literally above other restaurants. 😁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Columbia Tower Club: Exceptional Service, Stunning Views, a True Seattle Gem, and Undefeated Best Ladies Room View in The City …and more diverse, inclusive, accessible and affordable than you’d think. The Columbia Tower Club continues to impress every time I visit. Perched high above the city, it offers some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Seattle and Mount Rainier/Tahoma glowing at sunset, the waterfront shimmering at night, and a skyline that feels close enough to touch. But what truly sets the Club apart is its impeccable service and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you step off the elevator, the staff (usually the wonderful William) makes you feel like a valued guest. The team is warm, attentive, and consistently goes above and beyond to create a personalized experience. Whether you’re there for a business meeting, a private dinner, or a celebratory event, they anticipate needs before you even name them. The food and beverage program is equally impressive (am so grateful to Bowie and the restaurant team): thoughtful menus (chef has a background from Tao and Wild Ginger so completely understands my Asian palate needs inc. the delectable Ramen Thursday’s), beautifully executed dishes, and cocktails that rival the best in the city (including all the zero proof delights for me). I especially appreciate how the kitchen balances creativity with comfort every meal feels both elevated and satisfying. Farm to table sourcing is important to me and I’ve nerded out with the chef on seasonal foraged mushrooms (Matsutake Joe FTW!). They also deliver exquisite special events and holidays - their Mother’s day surf and turf buffet was divine and gained the hard sought approval of my mom! I’n rarely in town and the membership is a delightful treat to host friends, family, and clients back to back 8 am - 8 pm when I am here. The Club is also an exceptional venue for meetings and gatherings. The rooms are elegant and well-appointed, the tech always works (a quiet miracle in itself), and the environment fosters connection and productivity. It’s one of the few places where you can host a conversation that feels both intimate and inspiring. I’ve hosted dozens of client meals and meetings, and even an all day convening here with local, statewide, and national partners and investors and the staff have been impeccable every time. Overall, the Columbia Tower Club is more than a private club, it’s a community hub rooted in hospitality, excellence, and genuine care. Whether you’re a local professional, a member hosting guests, or someone visiting Seattle, it’s absolutely worth the experience. If we’re friends and you’re interested in joining, give me a shout and I’ll connect you to their membership team.

This place is great anytime I’m invited to the Columbia Tower Club. I feel like it’s a privilege the views the decor the service. The ambience is great. I love this place.

Visited CTC. The Columbia Tower Club offers breathtaking panoramic views of Seattle, enhancing any dining or social experience. The upscale ambiance is complemented by exceptional service and a diverse menu that caters to a variety of tastes. It's an ideal venue for networking events, business meetings, or special celebrations. Overall, it's a premium club that delivers both in atmosphere and quality.

Cheapest co-working space in town and an amazingly diverse and inclusive community. Less than $300 a month gets you a full co working table for you and your coworkers, not just in Seattle, but at every major city club around the country. Cheap parking options, $3 breakfast buffet, and daily free happy hour snacks. Complimentary/highly discounted events galore all year round and family friendly too. I was a member for a number of years serving on several boards where they constantly brought me free appetizers and entrees. I paid an extra $25 a month for a wine locker which included an amazing monthly free wine tasting where I, and a whole host of a diverse group of folx, could get a HUGE discount on wines straight from the distributors, oftentimes with them leaving free wine in my locker. Main advice I have; it's a member's only club for you and your guests, so if you're going to use it, use it often! The dress code was pretty lax, given the trends towards recruiting west coast tech, so I get it. A really all-inclusive, all-community, all-gender environment. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

The Columbia Tower club staff completely stepped to the plate and took care of me last night, I really appreciate them taking care of their members. The new food and beverage gentleman and chef and servers took amazing care of a large table with a short notice. The food was amazing the service was amazing and I truly appreciate them stepping to the plate like a private club and taking care of me. I joined the Columbia Tower club about 30 years ago moved away came back and rejoined and I would suggest anybody looking for a great community with a beautiful view please go and inquire. Again I can't thank you enough Columbia Tower club and staff!! Thank you

Decided to try this place during restaurant week. The menu looked intriguing and the view promised to be phenomenal. The food was good - the carrots had a terrific heat. The squash was cold, which wasn't bad, but didn't support the burrata that well. That being said, the cheese was terrific with the carrots. The mushrooms had a great chew, and while the grits were flavorful, they were lukewarm and got gluey towards the end of the meal. The salmon was perfectly cooked, as were the lentils. But once again, the sweet potatoes were lukewarm. This was the overriding theme for the meal: lukewarm. The view, though, did live up to the anticipation.

Took this elevator to the top....what a amazing view of the Seattle city...full 360 view...Great experience. Drinks and a bar is at the top...didn't get any as we already had a big lunch but it was great. Got to see where we visited through the city. Very accessible. Great experience.

The view from the tower club is incredible! You have to experience at least once! The panoramic view of the city at sunset was breathtaking! Honestly the camera doesn't do it justice! The food is good and the drinks are great! The bartenders are phenomenal!

If you have not been up to the Columbia Tower and tried their bar/restaurant called Hunt/Gather, then stop waiting and go now! The food is delicious and the view is impeccable. It is probably the most magnificent view of the Puget Sound and surrounding city. The food itself is amazing and affordable. That is because the membership is super expensive to use the facility and requires reservations. Service is excellent and it's totally worth it.

What can you say when you are on top of the world. Looking at the vast expanse stretching out to the Olympics on one side and the Cascades on the other. Mount Rainier was hidden in the clouds on this day. Half of the fun of going to the Columbia Tower Club is for the views. I was fortunate enough to get invited to lunch at the Columbia Tower. I had some oysters, which were really good, they tasted really fresh. I also had a smash burger, which was decent. Everything tasted great, including the fries. I look forward to returning.

We adore the Columbia Tower Club. They do such a beautiful job. We have been to countless events. We recently hosted an 80th birthday party for my mother. Everything was impeccable. The view was perfect as always and everything was set up the minute we walked in. Hector the server took amazing care of us. We would host here again anytime and are happy with Taylor who coordinated our event. We highly recommend!

5 star view and food! Had a 90 minute reservation starting at 1:30pm. When we were seated, we were not informed that we needed to be out by 2pm due to them being booked for a Valentines day party that starts at 4:30pm. I requested another round of drinks from the bartender and he refused to take the order and directed us to the Collett our server. Collett finally came to the table and told us that they are closed and not taking anymore orders and just waiting for us to clear out. When asking Collett why we weren't informed of last call or the time restraints, she interrupted and said multiple times that she will get the manager. Manager came over, winked and said she would make an exception. The manager had to force the bartender to serve one drink because he was also busy and had alot he needed to do before the 4:30pm Valentines party. The bartender made snide remarks while making the drink. The scene from the staff made us really uncomfortable and could be heard throughout the restaurant. A beautiful occasion turned sour.

The company i work at has had corporate events here and everytime we go, it has never disappointed. The service they provide is always 100%. Whether it be bartending or serving appetizers during cocktail hour, they got you covered. Staff has never once had an attitude. They are always sweet and sometimes will serve and even start a quick conversation. Food is always so delicious. One of the events I attended, they had this basil appetizer where the top layer was basil made in a puree. It was so good. I honestly could not stop eating them. There was another appetizer at another event where it had guacamole/avocado on top of a small piece of bread. My co-worker absolutely became obsessed with it all night. Parking garage is right below the columbia tower. They validate your ticket so you are able to dine in, have them validate your parking, and you are good to go. The money worry is all in your dinner, not your parking. Overall, quality of service and food are top notch. My company continues to have service here. Plus, the view of Seattle outside the window adds to the ambiance of the venue.

First of all, the club is beautiful. The view is gorgeous and worth coming up to check it out if you have a friend who is a member. We were coming up to celebrate a birthday with a member and was looking forward to seeing the hype of the club. The food is a hit or miss for some dishes but that is just my preference. Some things were unique but some were just kind of dry like the carbonara pasta. The halibut was just a tad overcooked but delicious nonetheless. The drinks were great and very well done. The servers were wonderful and very attentive to our needs. Honestly it was the front desk person who left a really bad taste in our mouth. He was extremely crass and when we were looking at the view with a member he made a very loud obnoxious "excuse me, excuse me, can I help you? Are you a member?" Like we had been doing something wrong even when we had been dining in the place for the past 3 hours. Definitely needs to work on hospitality. We were thinking of joining but that just wasn't a very welcoming environment as a first impression. Hopefully you get the other lady to greet you since she was a whole lot nicer to everyone else.

I've come here twice after work because members get half off their menu. There's no free appetizers anymore due to Covid. I've really enjoyed their Seattle spritz with the waitress, Destiny's customization with strawberries, apricot and orange. Had to order another one. Someone give her a raise! Deer creek oysters were fresh and flavorful, love their tempura hen of the woods mushrooms and their burger pizzata is unique in the fact the crust is fluffier than I had expected. Alaskan king crab brought back memories of salt goodness of Snoqualmie buffet king crab night. Beautiful views and a great place to chill especially on a wildfire polluted day. And as always, gotta check out the views from the 76th floor and the women's bathroom.

The view of Seattle and the surrounding areas is beautiful, even on a somewhat cloudy day. However, for as much as being charged, the ambiance needs to be updated. It feels more like a department store restaurant from the 1980s than someplace where I would want to spend a couple of hours taking in the view and having a cocktail. The music playlist needs to be refreshed, the carpeting replaced, and anyone should be allowed to sit at the high-top tables for a better view instead of being part of the so-called VIP experience.

My husband planned a surprise birthday dinner for me at the Columbia Tower Club. I had never been there before and he hadn't been there in 20 years! It's on the 75th floor of the tallest building in Seattle. There are windows all around the exterior showing beautiful views of Seattle, the lakes and Puget Sound. My husband had made reservations a week and a half before our dinner date. When we arrived the Mater D could not find our reservation but when he finally did, he took us into the dining room that wasn't very busy, and seated us 3 rolls back, by ourselves, away from the windows. The waiter eventually came over and offered us drinks and they took a long time to arrive. Next, after about a half an hour, the waiter took our food order. We decided to do the 3 course meal, salad, main course and dessert. Our salad arrived in about 15 minutes. We drank our drinks and were not offered more and waited another 45 minutes for our food. The food was luke warm and kind of tasteless. I didn't eat it all and then the dessert was served. It was so sweet I couldn't eat it. I asked the Mater D why we weren't seated by a window. He said club members had reserved all of the tables and they had priority. I said that several of the tables were empty the entire 2 hours we were there. He said well, they were reserved. He was a snob about it. Basically it's a beautiful setting but run very poorly. If they would like more members they should treat nonmembers better. It feels like an elitist establishment and I would not recommend going there to eat. A very disappointing birthday celebration for us even though we enjoyed being together. Perhaps go up there for drinks and to look at the view but we were treated like second class citizens. They charged us $40 each for our food and they have a service charge added in that is not a tip. The tip is over and above. So 1 drink each and a very mediocre dinner cost us $150! Boo

This place has the best views in Seattle. Period. I was so lucky to be a part of club Corp to be able to dine here. They have a main dining room and lounge. We had dinner at the lounge which has spectacular views from the 75th floor of Columbia tower. There was shuffle board which kept my kids entertained. Food is as good as the views. We tried caramelized cauliflower, chicken, club burger and Brussels sprouts. For dessert we had tiramisu which had a hint of rose flavor that tasted so great. The women's restroom has such a great view. Service is excellent.

This is a great place to visit. I highly recommend this over the space needle. It is taller than the space needle and gives history lesson with great views while up at the top. They also have a bar which has more selection than the space needle. Also the price for entrance is significantly cheaper than the space needle. Get more bank for your buck. Ditch the space needle and come here.

I really liked the food and drinks here. Thoughtful dishes and friendly environment.

You must be a member (or know someone who is a member) to visit here. I went during Happy Hour with a friend. The staff and service was exceptional. The atmosphere and views on the 75th floor of Columbia Tower were amazing. I had the best plant-based burger I have ever eaten. The corn dusted calamari tasted so good, that I wanted more. They have a great menu--obviously upscale preparation and presentation. We finished our meal with various sorbets. I will definitely return for another visit and explore more menu items. I don't know how you become a member, but I'm definitely going to see how I can join this club. The food, atmosphere, and service were top notch.

Visiting from San Diego and had a chance to visit Columbia Tower Club, our sister club. Views were spectacular, food was delicious, and service from Hugo was 5 stars. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel like home.

A very chic place for lunch with the best view. I had lunch with my coworker and bosses here on a beautiful Monday. We sat facing the space needle and was kindly served by a young waitress as soon as we got seated. For lunch, I ordered one of their current daily specials; chicken pasta marsala with wild mushrooms. It was really good! The lunch portion was definitely more than enough to make you full. My boss had the crab nachos (without the jalapenos), the daily special sandwich with salad and my coworker had the daily special grilled yellowtail jack with risotto. I was quite impressed trying their dishes just as much as my own. The crab nachos are definitely one to get whether you are getting a half order for yourself or a full size to share among 4-6 guests at the table. The only downside was that my boss had to pick out the roasted tomatoes and loads of jalapenos that she requested to not be in the plate. For that, the dish was discounted a bit which was nice of them to do. We didn't do drinks because it is a business lunch but seems like they have quite a choice for refreshments and cocktails. There's even a wine tasting self service bar in the lounge, a huge leather couch with tv for folks wanting to watch football. There's also a shuffleboard table around the area. Nice atmosphere for club members. Who doesn't love a great lunch and a view?

Came here for dinner the first night in Seattle and the views were spectacular! It's in the highest building in Seattle located on the 76th floor and the table we were sitting at had the view of the harbor/port(?). Anyhoo, during dinner there was this thick cloud that came over and you couldn't see anything outside and within 30 seconds the cloud moved away and you get this amazing view of the city lights again. Throughout the entire evening this kept happening it was cool and spooky at the same time. The shrimp dish was amazing! I had the sea bass which was okay. We also had their soup and salad to start which I do not remember what it was and I forgot to take pics of those.

I am a member of the club and have thrown events here. The strengths are location, view, and food. Service is hit-or-miss as I've had servers who were friendly, prompt, and professional as well as those who were almost missing-in-action for long periods or forgot to apply my member discount. The front desk staff is usually helpful and courteous. The decor could use a little updating, and the parking lot (more a building than club issue) is extremely cramped. Overall, it's a pleasant place to dine or do business, but could use some refinement and quality control.

Great spot for a 360° view of Seattle. Food and adult beverages are available. Casual, relaxing atmosphere and even games if you plan to stay for a while, as you should since the cost is $22/person. They could use more seating.

To my fellow professionals who are looking for a place to extend your business.... there are better places to go. Management changes often... nothing is consistent. This place is not even worth my time writing anymore than this.

This place is in a beautiful location but they really need to get their catering act together. At an event today that was to last 11:30-1:30. They didn't start providing salads until 12:30 and the entree didn't show up until 1:15. By the time dessert showed up most everyone had left. This is the fourth or fifth time I've been here where this has happened. What is the deal here people???? Everyone knows salads should be on tables and ready to eat when you arrive. And the desserts could have easily been on the table prior to the start as well as they had a display on each table for that very reason. Anyway just unfortunate they have such a nice spot and such terrible organization.

Came here just for the view so 5 stars for the awesome view. $15 for all day access to the observatory. They stamp your hand and you can come back until they close at 11pm. Got there around 5pm for the 360 degree city view of Seattle. Clear day! So fortunate to get to see the city in this manner. (Kudos to my Uber driver who told me about this place lol). One third of the price of Space Needle, twice the height allowing you to see more and farther and wider. Also a lot less crowded. I went back up at around 930 pm for the night time view. Glad I did! Worth the double trip to this place to see day and night scenes. TLDR: Wow!

I came here for a lunch with my company, and they did a fantastic job hosting us. We sat down quickly at a table with a great view outside. Our waitress was super friendly and took our drink and food orders pretty quickly. We had a good ample of appetizers and entrees, and all of them were pretty good. Each person in the lunch was very pleased with the service and food quality, we will definitely be back.

Our first visit to the Columbia Tower and we were blown away - the 360 degree views are incredible and there was no wait for the fast elevator. A totally chill viewing experience with no waiting or rush like the Space Needle. The icing on the cake was the bar; we had a delightful bartender named Kristina (she makes a killer mojito!) who took excellent care of us during our time at the top. A Seattle staple from now on!

Best views in Seattle bar none. Love events at the Columbia Tower Club - perched on the 75th floor of the Columbia Tower, the club boasts sweeping views of Seattle, stunning sunsets in an elegant setting. Have enjoyed social and professional events here, not to miss if you get the chance to come with a member or attend an event! Always a memorable evening with a classy crowd. PS - beautiful views from the ladies room!

That view though! Seriously one of the best I've ever had the privilege viewing (minus Chicago). I came here once for a wedding and another for a conference. The food and view were great. Please check out the observatory on a clear sunny day if you get the opportunity. Highly recommend!

Ugh...This place....as a current member of CTC/Invited Clubs, I gotta say...save your money. My fiance and I joined after moving to Seattle in hopes of meeting people and having a "regular" spot to enjoy a nice dinner a few times a week. Joining the club was easy, I messaged their "membership coordinator" Conor, and told him I wanted to join, that was it. Since joining, we've had nothing but issues. Invited clubs is notorious for adding random charges to bills that dont belong, and wont remove them unless you call. The staff at this club in particular are amature at best, and if you're lucky, you'll even see them sit at the bar, like Norm from cheers, and chat it up with the bartender, while you eat. The food is decent, but I'd probably not recommend this place based on food alone. The view is the only reason I bring people there when visiting from out of town. The management at the club dont seem to have a grasp on how to run/keep up w/ the rules/regulations of the club, so its kind of a mix of peoples idea of what a private club should look like. The nail in the coffin for us, and a huge reason as to why we wont be renewing our membership, is that the club is now on "open table" and will take reservations from anyone, member or not. This alone isnt a big deal, I'm open to seeing more people in a somewhat empty dining establishment, however, they dont enforce any of the club rules. While my fiance and I are dressed nicely for a night out, the open table reservations show up in jeants and t shirts and baseball hats. I'm all for comfortable outfits, no judgement, but ask, and i'll show you the binder of rules we got as members on how to act and what to wear when dining in. I'm not here to be a keyboard warrior, I've got emails and paperwork to show everything Im referring to, I'm simply here to save someone else from the headache that is the Columbia Tower Club.

This place is fancy. Go up some 76 floors by two different elevators in different areas of the building and you'll get treated to some of the BEST VIEWS OF THE SEATTLE SKYLINE. A membership is "required" but our way in was a friend of a friend and the waiter didn't even ask their name til the end. The crowd was very "financial district" and the menu caters to that. Had some well prepared cocktails ($12-14) DON'T MISS their bathroom. The view from the stall, especially while seated, literally shits on any views you could get from the Space Needle. Definitely Instagram worthy! (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0uoahOq7yFhSVibAB5yaBw&userid=pDfL8xt8F8ls0-kQIG_ADg)

Love the Club. It's 5 stars for the best views in Seattle alone. The ladies room has view windows that have been featured in many "best restroom" list over the years. Food is decent and service is good, but it really is all about the view. Well worth a visit if you have the opportunity on a clear day.

This is awesome. The highest point on the west coast. The night time view is indescribable. We had a very clear night and could see all the way to SeaTac and beyond. On yea, the food was really good. We went on a Friday night, fillet mignon and lobster. What can I say, it was great. These clubs really know how to do fancy dinners. I read some reviews that said if your not a member you should join. That's is true. This is high class and I'm happy to be a member and take full advantage of my membership. We try to use these clubs wherever we are traveling. This was definitely a great way to end a fantastic trip and a first time in Seattle. I will not soon forget this place and would like to make plans for a future, summer return. The Columbia tower is very romantic. You can score some big points with your significant other. I highly recommend this place.

A little pretentious...I think it's $200/month for a membership? The food was ok too, nothing spectacular. The service was on point - highly commend them.

The highest you can get in Seattle and the most spectacular views. Paying is easy, you can pay at an automated teller and then give your tickets to the attendant when you finally arrive at the top. Getting to the top is a fun adventure itself, especially with a handful of kids. All the different elevators you have to get in - going super fast and feeling your ears transition to the new elevations! Once at the viewing area, it is wide open space with seating and windows everywhere. There are tips posted on how to get great pictures. The views here are greater than the views at the Space Needle. And definitely less people. And it is inside so you don't get cold like you would atop of the Space Needle. I really loved it up here because you can definitely be more leisurely and take your time taking in all the views. The kids loved it too since there was so much space and they could actually play a little. I highly recommend this for any tourist visiting the city or if you just want to soak in some amazing views.

The Columbia Tower Club is just as exclusive feeling as you'd expect. The views definitely can't be matched ANYWHERE in Seattle, including the Space Needle. The employees here are super kind but a little pushy, in my opinion (they just ask if you need something else or if everything is good a ton). I had the dungeness crab & corn chowder. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting as far as taste goes, but it was still really delicious. I almost wish the flavor of the crab popped a little bit more, because I really couldn't tell when I was eating crab or not even though I saw there were pretty good sized chunks in there. I came with a coworker who has a membership so I'm not sure how often I'll be back, but I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try more of their menu or having a quiet, beautiful place to work.

Beware if you don't like unhealthy meat options. The membership dues include daily snacks, but these are meat only. I have tried complaining several times, but the club is not responsive to dietary concerns. :-( Update: Since my review the club has been responsive so I am changing my review to four stars!

Love coming here. Best view in the city by far. The food in the bar/regular seating area is good, they have a variety of things like salads, burgers, and seafood. You can dress casual for that. If you go to the restaurant called "Harvest" then the food is a lot different. Very fancy and expensive. You can't wear jeans or anything in the restaurant and men have to wear a sports jacket. Went in there once and I'll never go back. Stick to the bar food :) You have to either be a member or go with a member to go up there, which is nice because it's never over crowded.

Breathtaking view from private club on 76th floor, paired with a meltingly tender beef, and a Clafoutis fruit tart that was soo good that I wanted to have it all over my clothes (in a short moment of not paying attention). Really the view alone (which is much higher than the Space Needle) is worth a million, and there is a public observation deck a few floors down. The food was great, and once the presence of a salad dressing was acknowledged, even better.

Who hasn't been here by now! This place is fantastic. I love coming to the Columbia tower ie the tallest tower in Seattle for work/meetings and social visits. My favorite kind is definitely the social visits. Its 76 floors of stunning views, pristine building, offices and even an observation deck if you want to go up and be touristy! Or go up with a member to the club and see the views for free :D it's a win either way! The good: membership! If you can, join it!! You can host all kinds of amazing events and also bring your friends over for a happy hour or two. If not, attend the special events at this stunning club!! Your concierge at the bottom will send you up to the elevator to 44th floor, from there you take another one up to the 75th floor. They have this stunning stair case that goes up to the 76th floor! The views are amazing. Absolutely stunning. Can't decide if it's better at night time or day time. I think I prefer the night time view. Happy hour here are pretty good. They have anything from cheese plates, foie gras to seafood. I enjoy the drinks as well. I've had wine, champagne and sipped on some premium liquor. Not the cocktails though. I really liked their selections of French wine, enjoyed their cognac and bubbles with that view. My recent visit here was last night. Looked like they had some area closed off. It was fun nonetheless. They had deep fried snickers, stuffed chicken wings, mac and cheese and nacho bar for my friend's birthday party all night. Food was pretty tasty! I was disappointed with their champagne selection though or lack thereof! They only had one kind~ Michelle brut! Would've loved a more variety but it was a private party from 9-2 am! And they stayed open pretty much the whole time. Premium liquor started around $15 and they had some good choices. Of course: if you have been here, you know that the absolute best views are from the ladies bathroom up one more stair! Sorry gents. Views are only in the ladies room! Perfect for a few selfies :D We ate, sip and danced the night away with the view of whole city twinkling right under! As usual, it was a fun fun night!! The views can't be beat! And ambiance was just right for any kind of black tie event! I'm a fan!

Warning. The Columbia Tower Club is good for events usually complimentary. However it is * not * good to join. First you are promised a food credit every month if you join. The membership fee is too high for basically food you can get at Starbucks. Not to mention the public space is overcrowded and printer and computer ( only one ) is broken. The food credit never appears on the your statement. The charge for a basic sandwich is around $25, not to mention they cannot even prepared a proper sandwich, dry, no condiments. Then you have to chase staff ( never around ) to fix your meal. What ?? Try call the accounting department about the food credit you were promised. You will waste all your energies. They will not honor what was promised. The food credit ? never appears on your statement. And they are quick to add the mandatory tip 20% while the service is not satisfactory ! They ask for a holiday tip for the staff. Not thank you! Many places are doing away with tipping at all. Poor experince at Columbia Tower Club and poor representation of ClubCorp !

My friend read about the bathroom here in some guide book - it's on the top floor of one of the tallest (or is it the tallest?) buildings in Seattle, and it has some amazing views of the city. A couple of floors below is an observation deck, but you have to pay to access it. It's less $ than the Space Needle, but we're cheap, and if you just go up to the Tower Club, you can get the view for free. The only caveat: you're supposed to be a member to get off on this floor. Luckily, we were there in the middle of a weekday and there was no one in sight. We got off the elevator, made a beeline for the women's bathroom and enjoyed the view. The women's bathroom was also stocked with tons of nice freebies: tampons, mouthwash, lint remover, even a shoe buffer! We had some fun taking pictures and then made our way back to the elevator. Someone stopped us and said something along the lines of "did you get off on the wrong floor?" and we just nodded and hopped in the elevator. Mission accomplished!

If you get the chance to come up, you MUST check out the bathrooms in the Columbia Tower Club! Each stall features an amazing view of the city, which I think is pretty cool to admire while I use the bathroom. ;) This is a MEMBERSHIP ONLY club but I was lucky to be invited by a member of the CT. My lady friends and I ordered wine and h 'orderves, which were alright. The fig and gorgonzola pizza was the definite favorite of our group. The fries and lobster tacos were fine, but I felt like the tacos would have been better if the taco shell wasn't soggy. The view alone is 5 stars, while the food to me is worth 3 stars.

Had a casual dinner with family and friends. Very exclusive, beautiful view. Parking is expensive. We bought a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and five appetizers including: Shrimp Cocktail: juicy and full shrimp with a zesty sauce Guacamole and chips: with jalapeños and lime; excellent Fries: very popular and they give you a full basket. With ketchup and aioli + foie gras. Cheese Plate: different cheeses, bread and fruit Edamame Hummus: not the best hummus I've had. I would skip this.

The only thing I'm rating here is about the food: Of course the view is beautiful, being the tallest building in Seattle it is hard to beat! I have tried almost everything here and sad to say more often than not the food is mediocre. Prices are very reasonable but you do need to be a member or come up with a member. Hopefully after the remodel and when they hire a new EC that the food will improve. They are supposed to have a fresh sheet every weekend from pike place so we will see!

Visiting from another club, our waitress was amazing. The reason for 1 star review is because you are charged a 20% "service charge" that is added onto the bill. It does not go to the waiter/waitress, it's just the club adding 20% extra onto the bill for themselves.... Never seen this before, where is it justified? Again, service was awesome. extra 20% made up charge? Not cool

Great view up on the top of their 76th floor. Given that the Columbia Tower is the tallest building, their top floor does give you a great all around expansive view of Seattle and its skyline. It actually does cost some amount to go up the building for a view, but on occasion (like how I get to go up), if you get lucky enough to attend an event being hosted on that 76th floor...the view is definitely worth going for alone! Heck, I don't even know how anyone can concentrate in their meetings/events without getting lost in their imagination/head about how wonderful it is to be in Seattle. Not sure about Men's but even the ladies' restrooms has a sweeping view of Seattle, too. I find it quite amusing that one of the restrooms I went in actually has a toilet facing the skyline..so you can just sit on the toilet while enjoying the skyline!

My company hosted its holiday party at Columbia Tower this weekend and it was lovely! It's a very professional, beautiful venue. You must be ready to open up your (company) wallet but it's worth while. The mashed potato bar was ON POINT! Toppings included gravy, bacon, sour cream, cheese, Mac and cheese and green onions. Omg yum! The salmon was really tasty too! The scallops were really bad - cold, slimy and tasteless. Crab cakes were just meh- a little soggy and not a ton of flavor. Only major bummer was the fog (but nothing you can do about that!). Would definitely bring my employees back here!
