Goldfinch Tavern

We decided to try the 3-course brunch at Goldfinch Tavern at the Four Seasons, which isn’t typically on our go-to list for brunch after nine years of living in Seattle. But with family in town, it felt like the perfect time to do something a bit more special, and I have to say—I was impressed! The restaurant is beautiful, with a stunning view that’s especially enjoyable on a sunny day. The ambiance is elegant but also comfortable, making it a lovely setting for a leisurely meal. The service was genuinely courteous and attentive, which added to the whole experience. The 3-course brunch, complete with bottomless mimosas, was a lot of food—maybe even a bit too much! Next time, I’d likely go for just one dish. The mimosas were bubbly with only a hint of juice, and I would have preferred a bit more juice flavor in the mix. We ordered the eggs Benedict, croque madame, pancakes, and a trio of desserts. All of the main dishes were enjoyable, though I’d likely skip the dessert course next time, as it wasn’t quite as memorable as the rest. As an overall experience, though, Goldfinch Tavern delivered beautifully on ambiance and hospitality. It's a great spot for an elevated brunch when you’re looking to enjoy both a lovely setting and attentive service.

We had an amazing date night for a special occasion at Goldfinch Tavern. We found same day reservations for Friday night. Our server was attentive and gave good recommendations. King Salmon was cooked to perfection. Must try! Capellini with mushrooms was also good. Big portions. Dessert was amazing. We also got a complimentary dessert to celebrate the special occasion.

Our waiter was amazing. He was kind, considerate and took all the great angles of pictures!! What a win. Food was so good as well.

This is a high-end establishment. It's expensive, so disregard the listed price range. On the other hand, food is amazing. The service is amazing. We were craving breakfast, and the kitchen was getting ready for lunch; but they could offer some options

Here for breakfast. The syrup on the French toast was impeccable! Breakfast was perfectly portioned. Waiter took a bit to take our order but everything else was nice.

The service and food were delicious, everything you would expect from all their restaurants. Loved the life music and view was great!

Dining experience- We recently dined at this establishment and had previously given feedback. This time, the staff ensured our experience was seamless. The service was exceptional, as usual, and the food was equally impressive. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the apple slices complemented it wonderfully. The capellini was also excellently prepared, with the mushrooms adding a delightful touch. Our drinks (wine and cocktails) were fantastic. However, I’d love to request more food variety to be added, such as chicken dishes or pastas with various proteins, maybe even some chicken sandwiches. Bar service- our bartender Rico was amazing and took care of every tiny detail for us. The food was good, they can do better like the Crab Benedict was really pungent. Still, I would highly recommend it for breakfast or just hanging out at the bar for a drink with the amazing service.

Booked the Whidbey private dining room for a birthday celebration. Service was impeccable, as it should be at the Four Seasons. Food and drinks were adequate.

Their weekend brunch is where it's at! My partner and I had a reservation for Sunday morning. We were sat right away and greeted by our waitress within a few minutes. Even with the place being busy before a football game, there was never a lag in service. I went with the $80 bottomless mimosa and 3-course brunch. It was delicious! My mimosa was always kept full and the food came out quickly. The last course was a fun, Halloween themed array of desserts. The food was fresh and delicious, the staff was friendly and the views were beautiful! We will absolutely be back.

3 stars for food, 4 for the fact they have Lush IPA on draft and the friendly waiter. Ambiance was impeccable and felt very distinguished and sophisticated. The designers incorporated heavy felt strips into the hanging decor so as to moderate the restaurant noise. The rigatoni was decent, I liked the juicy sausage but it was still somewhat unremarkable and I wished it was a slightly larger portion. The Caesar salad looked lovely but the taste was flat, no lemon or tang that is characteristic of this types of salad. A highlight was our waiter who made sure we had everything we needed. Prices are high but it's inside a FS, so you can expect this. I would definitely return if ever staying again at this hotel.

*UPDATE* Trying to nickel and dime their customers. Pay attention to the blll! Just because we have money to spend doesn't mean it needs to be taken advantage of. It's located inside the Four Seasons. I've ate here before, many years ago and recall the food and drinks being good. Came back for a cocktail before heading off to our dinner plans. 1) wanted to just sit at the bar but the front host said the bar was full but we can have a seat in the lounge area which is a hybrid feel of restaurant and bar. She said to order the drinks at the bar and bring back to table. 2) bar tender gave us the menu at the bar. But also serve dropped off the menu at our table. I had already ordered a cocktail at the bar so when returning to the tables I saw the same drink the menu at least $5 dollars cheaper. I pointed the price difference to the server at the table and he said he would make sure I get charged for the price of the menu on the table - $15 instead of $21 dollars. 3) Receipt came and I was charged the bar menu of $21 dollars for the cocktail + 20% feet + tax.... Where the heck did this 20% fee come from. So a cocktail is going to cost $26.48???!! 4) had the server fix the price of the cocktail. Adjusted it to $5 less. Still expensive for a cocktail that was just ok?! $21.19 before tip. :: ORDER :: BLUSH ($16/hh) - Ketel One Vodka, Strawberry Syrup, St-Germain, Lemon, Dehydrated Strawberries. Nicely shakes cocktail served in a martini glass with a sugared rim. Nothing special. Alcohol strength: weak af. If I knew about the 20% feet and the weak cocktail - just know there are a gazillion restaurants all around to choose from.

The food was really good, but also very pricey. The server was very attentive for like 80% of our meal and then seemed to maybe forget about us when it was time for the check. The ambiance was nice and they had a great live musician who was doing Frank Sinatra-esque stuff. If the cost had been 10-20% less I think this would have been a 5 star experience but it was still quite good.

Came here during a visit to Seattle. We started with the Wynn's salad, which was very refreshing. The cioppino was large enough to share - I found the seafood to be very fresh and the broth very flavorful and umami. It was 3 days after my birthday, and I had not indicated it on the reservation notes, but they brought out a white mousse cake with a lit candle! It was a lovely surprise!

We had dinner and cocktails at Goldfinch and loved our experience. We had steak and salmon for dinner both were cooked perfectly! The cocktails were yummy and the ambiance is quiet quaint and private we loved the intimate setting with low lights in the evening. Service was great!

Visited Goldfinch Tavern for happy hour and it was a standout experience. It's still pricey! A shoutout to Johnny, our server, for being upfront about the 20% surcharge added to every check. It's a bit puzzling, honestly. At a high-end spot like this, people are tipping well anyway. Just folding it into the menu prices might simplify things, but I digress. Onto the eats: The Cheese Board was a winner, especially with the touch of honeycomb adding a sweet contrast to the savory cheeses. Marcona almonds and Chukar cherries rounded out the flavors, but the real star was the fig bread - an unexpected delight. The Prosciutto di Parma Bruschetta took a twist on the traditional with its soft, warm olive oil bread - a nice change from the usual crisp version. The truffle stracciatella added a flavor that paired well with the saltiness of the prosciutto. Despite the surcharge side note, the food and service at Goldfinch Tavern made it a worthwhile visit.

ello I'm writing because of the dismal service my group received September 9 Goldfinch was my choice for a business dinner/ birthday. We sat for a long time before anyone approached. When he did, he never greeted us, never engaged, just took drink orders. It took a long time before he came back and would disappear for long periods. The food was good and I think everyone enjoyed it, but my salmon was cold and very rare. I had requested medium. At the end I finally had to get up and ask for the check. I'm embarrassed I chose the Goldfinch for the group. It is some of the worst awkward, slow, impersonal service I've ever had. I couldn't tell you our servers name as he never told us, but this level of service is surprising for such a lovely hotel.

My wife and I went for a late breakfast. The service was excellent. I ordered a crab Benedict which was $39. I figured we're already paying a premium just to eat there, and I might as well spend a little more and get something I wouldn't normally have for breakfast. I had a similar dish years ago at Etta's (sadly no longer in business), and it was one of the best things I've ever had. The dish came with hash browns (one of my favorite breakfast foods), a muffin, and tea. My wife ordered a different breakfast which also came with a muffin, so we got a blueberry muffin and a "morning glory" muffin. We also got "healthful" juices and teas. The hashbrowns were very contemporary: a perfect rectangle that was heavily crisped on the top and bottom and mushy in the middle. It looked very nice, but it was difficult to eat (the bottom crust was hard to cut through, and it was difficult to get a proper pile onto a fork), and I would have preferred a messy pile of hash browns with better flavor and texture and easier to get from the plate into my mouth. The blueberry muffin was a little too dense and undercooked, but it was pretty good. The other muffin was dry (either overcooked or just a bad recipe). We only ended up eating about 1/4 of each. The poached eggs were considerably overcooked.... to the point where I asked that they be made properly. The server apologized and said he should have asked me how I wanted them cooked. In my opinion, there's only one correct way to poach eggs, and if you want the yolks cooked through (or more like ramen eggs), you should ask for them that way. That should not be the default way they are served. Parts of the yolks were to the point of being chalky. The Hollandaise sauce was good, but they didn't serve enough of it in my opinion. It was whipped and unlike traditional Hollandaise sauce (that is, made the traditional way), but it was fine (just needed more of it). The crab meat was not picked through properly, so there were a couple of large pieces of cartillage left in it and one small piece of shell. It was also a little over-seasoned (and I like things more salty than most). I really wanted to like this place, and I don't mind spending extra for a really nice meal once in a while, but the prices can't just be about the hotel. They need to prepare food that is in line with the service and décor.

I had high expectations for brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle, but unfortunately, it fell short. I ordered poached eggs, which were served cold--not once, but twice, even after I asked for a reorder. For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. It seems their brunch team lacks the expertise one would anticipate at a luxury hotel. Overall, a letdown.

It was a special evening, out with my best friend. We decided to try out Goldfinch Tavern for the first time. I was amazed and she had quite a blast as well. We started the evening with entrees, which was clams & mussels and their classic burger with fries. None of it disappointed. There was live music that Friday evening and the sunset was lovely to watch from afar. The fireplace in the middle made it cozy. The bar setup was luxurious. The service was great but there was a time we needed to ask another server for something, as our server wasn't around. We also ordered a seasonal dessert. It was very unique and quite delicious. It had a mochi on there and the pistachio / raspberry aspect was a great combination. Overall, an exceptional time. I love the burger and was craving one, so definitely recommend it.

Seriously? Is this the best that Four Seasons can do? Seattle never fails to disappoint! Hostess was nice enough but had us waiting while she took takeout orders on the phone, nice table, delightful server, ordered focaccia bread that was a week old, so old they had to toast it (and as toast goes... Burnt) What happened to that delightful loaf of fresh bread we used to get? A beet and crab salad ($27) that is now half the size of what it was in May, followed by crabcakes and no utensils. Waited for 20+ minutes for a fork .....after I got frustrated waiting.... counted 17 staff members that walked by my table, none of which would pay any attention to the fact that I needed a fork. Four Seasons used to stand for quality not sure that's the case anymore. This used to be a brilliant restaurant, today it feels like a Denny's. A mandatory service charge of 20%... For what? Seems a bit rich for the privilege of being ignored and served stale food.

The food and drinks were phenomenal here, but the thing that made our experience five stars was our waitress, Ashley! She was attentive and handled our large group of fourteen with amazing skill and poise. She tended to our every need, and she was so personable! As for the food, the brunch menu was quite extensive. I got an omelette, and it came with both hash browns and toast. The vegetables were fresh and well-seasoned, and the toast came with delicious apricot jam. It was a great value for the price, especially given that this is a restaurant in the Four Seasons. The ambiance here was both classy and fun - perfect for a special occasion or group dinner. You have a stunning view of the water from the dining area. It's also just a few blocks from Pike Place market, so it's a great spot to take visitors.

We've been here many times for brunch. This time was to celebrate Galentine's Day They have a pre-fixe brunch menu, which includes bottomless mimosas, your choice of an appetizer and entrée, and a dessert trio this is a great deal for $80. You can also order these food items A la carte. For our drinks we had: Old fashioned Blush Smoked Manhattan Mimosa Mezcal Negroni For our food we had: Avocado toast BYO omelet Ham Benedict Smoked and peppercorn corned beef Food and drinks were delicious and our server was a gem! We will definitely be returning. @seatownbrunchbaddies

Such a fun restaurant at The Four Seasons Hotel. The bottomless mimosa brunch, $80/pp, is a great deal with 3 courses of delicious food and mimosas, with a view of the sound. Karla was beyond stellar at the bar and was so sweet to help celebrate a birthday-this service is what sets restaurants apart! Highly recommend!!

Mother's Day dinner for my wife along with our two teenage children. Drinks: Purple Rain (mocktail) & Washington Harvest (cocktail), both really satisfying. Starters: PNW Oysters (yum), Little Gem Caesar (good but impractically artful), Beet & Dungeness Crab Salad (very good), Dinner Bread (m'm m'm good). Entrées: Goldfinch Burger (okay), Seared Jumbo Scallops (good), Dry Aged Muscovy Duck (great), Vegan Creste di Gallo (good). Dessert: April Showers (amazing presentation and substance), Chocolate & Raspberry (wow). These were the stars of the show. Service: Drinks were ordered first but arrived ~10 minutes *after* the appetizers and required prompting our waiter. Otherwise, solid service.

I am thoroughly disappointed that I even feel compelled to write a review, as I am a regular at The Four Seasons in San Francisco, Chicago and Austin. The service is always spectacular and has never let me down until now. I sat at the bar, intending to have dinner and a few drinks and was offered "filtered" tap water as the only option. I ordered a drink and then my menus were taken without any questions of my intentions to order anything else. Shortly after - a man sat down next to me and was offered three options for water along with complimentary bar snacks. I felt completely discriminated by Katie - the bartender, who let me sit with an empty drink for over 5 minutes without asking if I wanted another or anything else. I'm not sure why I was given such poor service as it wasn't busy by any means and I have been here many times and had a great experience every time.

Since fish and chips is a food group, we came for an afternoon snack during their happy hour. The portion was small so we ordered two servings. The halibut was fresh, crunchy and flaky. The sauces were house made tartar sauce with dill, chilli sauce with a side of coleslaw and lemon wedge. Wash it down with a Fremont lush beer, life is good. Food, service and ambiance were great and comfortable as is typical of Four Season's hospitality. FYI - The restaurant automatically tag a 20% tip but we were made aware by our wonderful waiter. We always leave hydrated as the waiter refills water until we must go.

Lunch at the Goldfinch Tavern bar was fabulous! The Waygu burgers lived up to their name. The fruit was delicious and Travis was a great server. We'll be back.

My memory deceived me and I got lured back here with their promise of bottomless mimosas and I forgot how bad this place was. CONS: The price: They raised their price for the brunch special from $65 to $80 a person. The service was subpar. The drink: they use Treveri Blanc de Blnco for the bottomless mimosas. It cost $10-$15 a bottle so it's a pretty cheap brut. It gave me a headache at the end of the day after just drinking two. The service: Our waitress took too long to serve us and she was in a bad mood. There's a 20% service charge for just 3 people! With the meh service I received, they should not have gotten that much. The food: I got the crab cake and even the waitress warned me and said it was small. The appetizer I ordered was larger than my main course. I tried my friend's burger, and the meat was not seasoned at all and was overcooked. One out of the three mini desserts was good at least. The view is OK and I love the four seasons which is why I thought this place would be great too, but I do not recommend their brunch special at all as it is not worth the price for what you get.

I did a reservation for a table during happy hours, there were many food options and drink options available. Great location easy to be found, 1st floor in the hotel, easy to seat, not crowded. If you're lucky you can see the beautiful sundown view from the window, but there are construction works under the window that also near to water front, that is kind of sad and annoying for enjoying the moment. Everything was great, and the oyster and chowder were excellent. I like the bread with cheese & truffle & meat & greens ( forgot the name) that was the best. Burger was good but nothing special, don't recommend it if you are looking for a fabulous burger. Pasta is so so , don't recommend it. Really wanna try the fish chips and fries next time. I will be back soon.

Definitely one of my favorite brunches in Seattle-- beautiful views, good food, lovely ambiance, and unlimited mimosas! For $80 per person, you can get unlimited mimosas (and they're actually refilled frequently, service was STELLAR) and a 3-course brunch, perfect for catching up with friends or family. I visited with a friend on a Saturday afternoon and though we had a reservation, we had to reschedule at the last minute and the restaurant was very accommodating. There's good variety to the menu to suit many tastes and on this occasion, I started with the shrimp cocktail (fresh and tasty--solid appetizer portion to kick off the meal), had the smoked and peppered corned beef as my entree (hearty and rich-- perfect on a cold day and a good portion size), then dessert was a trio of small tastes (perfect for closing out with a little something sweet). Outside of brunch, I would've paid more than $80 for a 3-course meal with drinks, so this was well worth it for a nice day out on the town with a friend. Bonus points for a beautiful, clean bathroom too. It's important to note, the unlimited mimosa brunch isn't mandatory and you could instead order items a la carte if preferred. Can't wait to visit again!

Amazing! One of my favorite date spots ambiance and decor are on point, food is delicious, and service is top notch. It's located in the Four Seasons so you know from the jump that you're in for a great experience. The first time I went was back in 2019 and I immediately knew I wanted to go again. Unfortunately that didn't happen until recently, but now we've been back twice in the last month. I love the plush booths, views are beautiful, and omg the foooood Upscale, comforting, and unique- what more could you ask for? I love that their selections rotate seasonally and really reflect the PNW. The pictures speak for themselves So far we've been trying new things when we go, aside from the baby carrots (I am not a healthy person but these are a staple!) and the Old Fashioned. I usually pass on dessert but we don't want the evening to end so have been getting one to savor together. I think the chai spiced cake has been my preference so far. We've had the same waitress both times and Millie (Milly? Mili?) is fantastic. She's super friendly, takes great care of us, and even remembered our drink orders! Looking forward to seeing her next time

Came here for brunch and had to make reservations in advanced. They have bottomless mimosa brunch for $75, which also included a choice of an appetizer, entree, and dessert. You can also order items a la carte, if you don't want to do bottomless brunch. We opted to pass on the bottomless mimosas this time and just ordered entrees. I ordered the avocado toast, which came with poached eggs and cheesy potatoes. I enjoyed my meal a lot and would order it again. My husband ordered their grain bowl, which came with: farro, quinoa, peas and tomatoes. This dish was also good. They also make their own ice cream. I decided to order the blueberry cheesecake ice cream and enjoyed it. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and I would come back here to try other menu items.

Had a Saturday early 5:30 PM reservation before a show nearby. Very friendly staff sat us at a beautiful window seat. We had several starter dishes and an entree, all of them quite good. Pork belly was dry but still very tasty and presentation was 100. The bar served up a variety of signature cocktails with precision craftsmanship. Waiter and assistant staff were not very busy yet so we had the pleasure of chatting a bit with them, all very friendly and appreciative of your patronage. We don't usually pick out hotel restaurants for dining out but Goldfinch delivered all around great service and food. This is definitely a four seasons hotel quality place.

Visited Seattle for my bday and after walking pikes place hubby and I stopped here for a quick bite and it was great. I had the burger it was delicious and he had the chicken and lobster sandwich, honestly he didn't like it much but everything else was great. Service overall was great, our server was knowledgeable and very polite and even brought me out a dessert with a candle because of my birthday. When we come back to Seattle we're definitely stopping by here again!

this is one of my favorite brunch spots! you can select the set brunch option for a flat fee of $80 and it includes bottomless mimosas, an appetizer, an entree (half portion size, but i've never left this place hungry), and a selection of sweets/desserts. the menu changes so it's a great spot to return to. the staff are always friendly and helpful. i love taking friends here & plan to come back for future brunch plans!

Came for Sunday brunch which was a three course meal with bottomless mimosas for $60. Great variety in the menu (including different types of mimosas) and wonderful service. Food was really good and I'm glad to have come at least once, but there was nothing that was particularly stand out about the meal. We also had a nice window seat, but there is a storage facility between the restaurant and the water so it wasn't the most spectacular setting.

Great hotel great restaurant great service, food is a solid 4 star. I got crab melt and it was amazing. My friend got salmon burger and it was a bit too greasy to our taste. Overall amazing place for downtown business meet ups.

Despite being part of one of Seattle's best hotels, the restaurant is below par. The Huckleberry Waffle is listed as coming with caramelized figs but did not -- and no one let me know that it had been replaced with berries. The flavors were hard to find and both the bacon and waffles were served room temperature. There are SO MANY amazing restaurants in Seattle, don't waste your time with this one.

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic and you would not believe it was in a hotel! Located downtown in the Four Seasons Hotel, this is an Ethan Stowell restaurant you must dine at. The staff are friendly and the service was perfect! The pig and fig was a delicious start along with the butternut squash with crab cake soup. They were both very flavorful and fresh. For the mains, the lamb was seasoned and cooked to perfection while the gnocchi was spot on with the flavor. As far as dessert, the pumpkin cheesecake was rich and flavorful while the tiramisu was the best I've ate. For the drinks, they were perfectly crafted and there is a wide range to choose from. I didn't have a drink that was bad and the options available did not seem any were a bad choice. Definitely will be back again soon to dine as there are many items I still would like to try. This restaurant is a great dining option if you are looking for fantastic food, fantastic service in a fantastic atmosphere.

Staff is phenomenal. Service is amazing. Food is tasty. Appetizers: Half Dozen Local Oysters - 5/5 Beet and Crab Salad - 5/5 Entrées: Crab Benedict - 5/5 Smoked and Peppered Corn Beef - 5/5 Chef Danielle's Dessert Trio: Chai Tea Tres Leches - 5/5 White Chocolate Banana Pineapple Cake - 5/5 Caramel Coffee Pecan Chiffon Cake - 4/5 Beautiful restaurant, came here for Saturday brunch. Food is delicious. The dessert trio is absolute genius. You get three tasty dessert samples. Amazing. All the Benedict's are very delicious. The crab and beet salad is a must order. Super light and refreshing. Service is phenomenal.

I came to Goldfinch Tavern with some colleagues for lunch. It was a nice place! Inside the Four Seasons so pretty upscale and not too crowded for a Friday at noon. I ordered the Goldfinch Burger and it was delicious! The toppings were fresh and the meat was cooked exactly how I like it. The aioli was a little bland for my liking, but still good with the fries! My colleagues enjoyed their meals as well, they said the crab cakes were delicious! Overall it was a little overpriced in my opinion, but I had a good experience and would consider returning to try the dinner menu.

We had the perfect meal and excellent service by Tom. The seafood in the Cioppino was cooked to perfect temperature; fish flaky and shrimp was plump and juicy. Lobster Mac & cheese was to die for. Large pieces of lobster intermixed with delicious cheese. The NY steak had a lot of flavor. All of the flavors were enhanced by the calm casual atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

To start I was in Seattle running some errands figured I would Go here for a quick lunch since I've had it on my hit list for a while. I was a little disappointed the lunch menu options basically I felt for me personally it was either pasta, a salad or a burger. Did the clam chowder to start and my husband did the cheese plate the chowder was great the cheese plate I have slight reservations about. The burgers however sorry to be report but they had ZERO Taste and typically my husband who is not by any means a picky eater so hearing him say that was the final nail in the coffin Cocktails 10/10 Food 3/10 Ambiance 8/10 Service 10/10 I'll try to go again in the future for dinner but it will be a tough decision

One of the best bottomless brunches in Seattle. Whenever I have a brunch planned I will gladly Uber or take public transit because nobody is leaving sober. I've been here twice for the bottomless brunch. For ~$70 you get unlimited champagne by the bottle and the option of four different types of juice. Orange, cranberry, pineapple, grapefruit. The brunch deal comes with a three course meal! For the appetizer I recommend the oysters or the chowder. The seafood tastes really fresh and they provide hot sauce for the oysters if you ask. For the main course I recommend the burger. It's honestly the most worth. I've also tried the classic Benedict, but it only comes with one. By that time I'm already lit and need something filling. The dessert comes in a trio and the chef always goes hard. For Valentine's Day weekend they had an amazing mousse dessert. For Super Bowl weekend they included a football themed dessert. No matter what you'll be given three different desserts. Super worth and guaranteed you'll like them! Located inside of the Four Seasons in downtown Seattle (so fancy shmancy). Parking downtown can be yucky, but luckily it's super close to the Link! Reservations come in clutch! Make one online or call.

Overall: service and ambiance, 5 stars. Food, 2.5-3 stars (but I did only order from HH). Went for happy hour on a Thursday afternoon around 4pm. The place was fairly quiet so we got seated right away. We asked the hostess for a "good" table and she did not disappoint. We got seated right next to the window not only giving us a spectacular view, but beautiful lighting for pictures. We ordered oysters, Caesar salad, bread and butter, and the burrata. Everything was beautifully presented and service was great. What we ordered, however, was mediocre. Burrata: Very dry so we asked for extra olive on the side to drizzle on top. Caesar salad: Basic but also dry, could've used more dressing. Bread & butter: The honey butter was good, I liked it with salt sprinkled on top. The bread though, was a little stale. It was edible but it tasted a day or two old. Oysters: Star of the show. Not much to say here - tasty and typical of what you'd normally see in the PNW. The strawberry ice was tasty!

Came for the $50 Seattle restaurant week dinner. Bruschetta & Dessert stood out tonight. Found many of the menu items also offered on the regular menu. Deal felt like dessert was free. Service was very attentive despite how busy it was. Seated by the window gave us view of the water (along with view of the storage building and tall chimney). Food Hamachi Crudo topped with apple, little kick of smoky calabrian chili crisp, sweet apple ponzu vinaigrette (hint of Indian flavor.) Wished it was saltier and firmer 3.5* Bruschetta with fresh fig slice, herbed chèvre (goat cheese), thinly shaved smoked Gouda, rosemary infused honey and garnished with a fried sage all on top of a very light well toasted bread 5* 6oz Signature Cedar Plank Salmon has perfectly crisp skin; tasted low-sodium and healthy.4* Jidori Chicken noticeably stronger tasting roasted chicken with a side of stewed carrots and fennel, very firm chewy farro in flavorful chicken jus & topped with carrot top pesto 4* Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar Dessert chocolate crunch cake, peanut butter mousse, candied bacon and peanut brittle was not too heavy and had Excellent balance of flavors and textures. 5* Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake maple ganache, pumpkin mousse, pépita crumble mousse is so light with wonderful light maple cream 4* Birthday Dessert very nice to get a birthday dessert with a lit candle 5* Service was excellent: answering any questions, getting things quickly and constant checking. Located -on the backside of the lobby floor of the Four Seasons Hotel -on 1st Ave & Union St, 2 blocks south of the center of Pike Place Market

I was excited to eat at Four Seasons. I am hooked on anything the Ritz-Carlton cooks and figured they would be the same. The ambiance is great, views are incredible, and my waitress was nice (maybe too nice? She talked to a lady for 12 minutes while I waited to pay and the couple next to me were waiting for their cocktails that were staring at them from the bar). I'm sad to report that's where it ended. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and this is the first time I've ever ordered that dish and can say it was flavorless. How does that happen? I knew I should have ordered the scallops, but I was trying to be good and the scallops were served with bacon fries! Argh! I should have stuck with the fat, dangit! Where was I? Oh yeah, the butternut squash was cut so thin there was no flavor. Or it could have been all the oil on my plate, because that's the only thing I could taste. The gnocchi was neither here or there. I will say, however, the fish was cooked to perfection. Any flavor would have made that dish a 10! I also asked if the bartender could make a Paloma. It was made with grapefruit juice, not soda, and very little lime. I mean. I didn't want bacon fries, but soda would have been nice. This could be the first time I didn't finish a Paloma. My bill came out to $106 with tax and gratuity was already included. If anybody is paying that much for a meal, it should be one of the best places they've eaten so they can return, not make them regret patronizing your establishment. I really hope they take another look at these items. Please.

Breathtaking views overlooking seattle waterfront nestled inside four seasons hotel! Very open, spacious and elegant restaurant! Service is spectacular! Our server Carlos was phenomenal! Parking is tough. Hit and miss to find street parking! Limited items on menu and Little sticker shock on prices but everything they make is incredibly tasty!

Service was fine. Food was overpriced and kind of horrible. The tuna tartare tasted like it had gone bad and they still served it. I asked for no blue cheese on my salad and but they still put a dressing with blue cheese on my salad. We had high expectations given the location but left very disappointed.

Have been here few times. Last time wasn't great! My scallops were super salty. Prices are very steep for very simple dishes like scallops or salmon. Service is good but food is very subpar. Used to be my favorite place but not anymore.

Been here a few times and will spring 4 stars, but not five and these are my observations: This restaurant is inside a 4 Seasons Hotel. Dinner is not under $200 per person and I expect to see '4 seasons' in all details but don't. Oysters on the half shell: you get a couple of outstanding oysters that would pass as the best in the world but the rest is not at the same level. I have seen this inconsistent quality more than once. The cheeseburger is on another level of buttery beef flavor and the first time I tasted it I thought it even surpassed the burger at Von's 1000 Spirits. Other dishes were okay, the most recent honey smoked salmon was great but slightly overcooked with a hint of fishiness around the edges, and the steak was nothing to write home about. Beer on tap is not bad but overall middle of the road selections and served cool but not cold. Service is impeccable and they add an automatic 20% service charge to the check. Of note, window tables have a view of the ferris wheel BUT at most tables you sit under an uncomfortably bright spot light which I will avoid when possible. There are a couple of darker tables if you look around.

I was so disappointed! We were at another local restaurant and didn't eat because I really wanted to try this place. I was excited to try a burger that was told was excellent. Well they don't serve their 'tavern' menue in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. Only small plates. You can order off the room service menu though. Not what I wanted. We ordered beer which is really only a half of a beer. I ordered the Hamachi which looked pretty; lacked any flavor at all and I mean none except the sprouts on top. The fries we ordered were good, hot and crisp with a nice dill aoli. If you want to try this place don't go in the afternoon. We won't be back to try the burger I really wanted. The atmosphere is supposed to be a tavern, to me not even close. The view is beautiful though.

Great food and ambiance- ask for waiter Johnny, he was one of the best in my experience!!! Will definitely recommend

Goldfinch Tavern is a wonderful place for food and drink made and served with love. Quality ingredients, quality service and quality DELICIOUS-NESS! I love booking the brunch. On weekends you can have a 3 course brunch for $65, this is including bottomless mimosas. Book a brunch, enjoy the ambience and then take a walk up the block to Pike Place Market. It makes for part of a great day out in Downtown Seattle.

Service, food, view all excellent excellent excellent. We ordered the PNW wild mushroom hash, a bowl of chowder to share, and a couple coffees. The "onion smoked" potatoes are outstanding. I don't personally love onion but there was no visible onions and the flavor was crazy good. The pork belly and egg was cooked to perfection. We asked for salt and pepper for the table but this food was perfectly seasoned. We didn't need any seasoning. It was all so good we made another reservation before we left lol. As far as portion and price goes, the plates are generous and the price is fairly spendy as well. Our total check with tip was $73ish.

Goldfinch Tavern is an upscale, New American concept by Seattle restaurateur Ethan Stowell. Located within the Four Seasons hotel, the sophisticated bar and dining room offer stunning views of Elliott Bay. They are open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menus are concise yet varied, with a focus on northwestern ingredients. My husband and I were staying at the hotel, so we ate here for breakfast one day, and dinner on another. On weekends, they do a pre-fixe brunch that includes a choice of appetizer, entree, bottomless mimosas, and a dessert trio; a great value for $59. Not overly hungry, we opted for a la carte dishes. The Veggie Hash was a bland, boring bowl of grains and watery tomatoes. We loved the Goat and Cow Labneh though. Dinner was much better. Our server (younger bald guy) was amazing; genuine, attentive, 3 Michelin Star level hospitality. I started with a cocktail called "Our Last Night In Antigua", a subtly sweet, expertly crafted drink. Do not hesitate to order a cocktail. They have a great wine list as well. Both the Organic Baby Romaine and Beet & Dungeness Crab Salad were delicious, made with fresh, flavorful local ingredients. My husband got the Alaskan Halibut, which he enjoyed very much. The Grilled Haricot Vert were too oily, and the Goldfinch Lobster Mashers over salted, but they were still decent side dishes. We will definitely come back the next time we stay at the Four Seasons.

Service 5/5: The waiter was super friendly and really get to know us through various topics/conversations. Once we placed an order, other servers will check on us to make sure the food is served at a timely manner. Food 3/5 so overall a 4/5 rating from me. I came for their brunch upon friend's suggestion. It's $59 per person for their brunch course, which includes bottomless mimosa (orange, cranberry, pineapple, and grapefruit), appetizer, Dungeness crab cake, and dessert trio. The price is reasonable from all the food you get and ambience of the location within Four Seasons hotel. The oysters definitely were not the sweetness I had and they were very small in size. The dungeness crab cake was very small and only came with one so a bit disappointed. The dessert trio was lovely in presentation but overall it was okay.
