La Pergola Seattle

This is a very beautiful and ambient restaurant, they have outdone themselves with setting a great mood for the restaurant. The food could have been better though, for the price I expected more. The pasta was pretty bland, nothing special at all and was quite dry. The steak was good, a little on the smaller size but overall a flavorful dish. I probably wouldn't go again, but it was a good one time spot.

We tried the restaurant and a couple of things we really wanted was not available like the mole and the grilled octopus. We had the chicharon guacamole it was good but there was no chicharon it had steak. I ended up getting the chicken Parmesan and it was pedestrian at best however the side noodle dish was tasty. My partner ended up getting the carnitas taco and it was legit good, it tastes like the tacos you get from the sidewalk in Mexico. The service was friendly, not a fan of the fake wisteria it looked cheap.

Stopped in on a Friday night and was greeted promptly with a smile, guided to a seat overlooking the harbor steps. We were provided menus and some water while we perused the menu - both cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks as well as a decent wine and spirits list. Cristobal came over promptly and provided attentive service. We started with the guacamole with chips which was fresh and full of flavor, crisp tomatoes and juicy steak. I decided to go for the coconut shrimp bites as my main course and my husband chose the halibut. The coconut shrimp were large with thick breading. The sauces were a little light on flavor but overall enjoyed the texture and crunch of the shrimp. My husband chose the halibut and it was a light flavor, could be a bit more firm but overall pleasant. There's lovely decor in the interior, and next time I will try their extensive happy hour menu and they are open late until midnight - a welcome option for folks who are arriving from airport or cruise after dark, leaving shows at Benaroya or triple door and want options for lighter fare, fresh fish, and great guacamole.

Nice patio area with good happy hour food and nice service. Lobster Mac was great even though the portion was a bit small. FYI there is a small Discretionary Culinary Gratuity (~4%) that wasn’t really disclosed until the check came.

Had dinner here. I got the Grilled octopus, and it was just incredible! Dude, this thing had two sauces, some sweet potatoes, and a vinegarette salad. It was more than enough food! I'm a fiend for sauces, and there was enough octopus to consume all my sauce. They also had a really fun Trivia thing going on. This place is awesome!

Went there on a whim near closing. It was their opening weekend, and while a little slow, that's to be understandable! They were packed to the brim, and having just opened, I completely get it. Calamari was perfectly cooked, crispy, and came with fantastic sauces. The burger was perfect, juicy, and fairly good. The halibut was cooked the best I've had it.

A delightful surprise. Quality food well worth the price. Came in on a whim for a "light" dinner. Ended up ordering the Queso Fundido and a salad to share. The Queso Fundido was decadent and took me back to my childhood. The salad was well balanced with a variety of flavor. Though it did need a hint more of acid to brighten it. The pergola cocktail was well balanced. To finish our "light" dinner we ordered the crème brûlée and that was total perfection. The blueberry jam and black with the cocoa powder and powdered sugar took me to a happy place.

Love the decor and ambiance of this place, and the Happy Hour prices are a steal! Their grilled octopus is some of the best I’ve had, and their steak fajitas are excellent as well. The calamari appetizer was crispy and fried to perfection. The mojito was mixed with the freshest mint (which is hard to keep / come by) and tasted SO herbal and delicious. I will definitely be back!

A wonderful place to sit outside under the shade. Right off harbor steps, you'll find a quaint restaurant with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. La Pergola has great happy hour - you can find choices from calamari, steak ceviche, coconut shrimp, empanadas and ahi tostadas for half off! They did not make the portions smaller for happy hour either. We had the: Chicharron Guacamole Calamari Seafood Ceviche (They were out of coconut shrimp and empanadas) My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing time here on a sunny day. Service was quick, friendly and food came out very timely. Would highly recommend this restaurant! Can't wait to try other dishes.

Attentive, warm service, delicious rib eye chicharron & cocktails (my favorite was the Old Cuban). Pretty decor, great location near the waterfront. My only wish is for the bathrooms to be updated but that could be due to the building's plumbing. Vibe: spring floral fun, Miami in Seattle. They just opened and the location is great. Go check them out! Happy hour: Sunday - Thursday 2p - 5p, 9p - close. Friday - Saturday 2p - 5p, 10p - close.

Stumbled upon this place walking around the waterfront! It was happy hour from 2-5pm and most bites/appetizers are 50 percent off and they have drink specials starting at $7. The inside is very beautiful with flowers hanging off the ceilings and has a good ambiance. As for the food we got the ahi tostada- don't recommend, had a fishy taste. We got the coconut shrimp which was my favorite! And the empanadas which were ok, no seasoning to it. The best part were the drinks! If you can come during happy hour, definitely makes it worthwhile. They were strong and service was really good! Overall, a good place to hang out for drinks but the food could have some room for Improvement.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Stumbled in to this gem during our short visit in Seattle. Initially stopped in for a quick drink to use the restroom but the drink was so delightful and service was excellent, we decided to order from the Happy hour menu. The Steak Bowl was absolutely delicious! The flavors are on point. Hats off to the chef. The restaurant is nice, clean and welcoming. Our bartender Victor was amazing, attentive and down to earth. To the owner, your salsa reminds me of home. Yummy!! Many blessing to this establishment.

Sunday brunch review: the offerings were simplistic, bland, and lazy. I had the croissant sandwich. Lacked seasoning and very basic. My step sons had the "French toast" which was a mass produced dinner roll dish with sweet convection melted on top. Parts were under cooked and the bread was doughy. My life partner had the chilaquiles. The chicken was very dry and inedible. But.... This day offered a drag queen show and was very entertaining. Maybe this visit was less about food and more of the celebration.

Walked into the restaurant without being greeted. I awkwardly ask the host if they have a table for 4 - we get seated order drinks and then appetizer. We sat @630 and didn't get food until @8/@830 the appetizers we ordered were expensive, lacking salt, and super small portions. Our entrees came out beautifully but cold & with no flavor. The surf and turf was awful (and the flank steak) the fish dishes were tasty but not worth the wait or the price. The bill came out to around $240 with services charged & gratuity. Also, it was 70 degrees out and they didn't have on AC - so it was super hot. Anyways, wouldn't come back. But the ambiance was nice & the music was good.

Oh my goodness, this cute little hidden gem is so gorgeous inside! They really put it a lot of effort with the decor and it definitely makes for a good instagrammable spot in Seattle. Food was good, and the service was great! Would definitely come back and recommend this place

Great service and large plates of food! They accommodated our large party of 15 for a business lunch and we were in and out within an hour or so! Glad we picked here for lunch. Our server was amazing!

Love this place, so much fun! Very active and friendly, I've been wanting to go to a drag show for so long and this was it !

Great atmosphere and drinks - perfect setting for a weekend night! The staff are incredibly welcoming and hospitable. I will definitely come back!

Food was ok......not sure what their speciality is. Is it tacos or pasta? Regardless, ambiance was great and would recommend as a nice date spot.

The ambiance and service are good but the food is overpriced and subpar at best. You can find much better Mexican food for cheaper. The weekly Sunday drag brunches are a wonderful idea but extremely inconsiderate to their neighbors who have to listen to the music for hour on end, and the staff refuses to turn it down when asked.

I've visited this restaurant for the past 3 years to see a friend of mine perform in one of the Sunday drag brunches. The first couple of years were ok, expensive, but the atmosphere was so much fun and the food and drinks were well presented and tasty. This year however, the rules for entry have changed and frankly I am both angry and disappointed about my experience there. The remodel looks great and as always, the talent is entertaining. However in order to enter you are required to a) be on time or you will be denied entry (this seems silly unless it's a full house, which it was definitely not, the show also started late). b) you must buy an entree or they will add $15 to the price of your ticket. c) there is a 4% charge added specifically for the chef and an automatic 20% charge added to the bill specifically for the drag brunch which is disclosed in fine print on the menu and nowhere else. Ok, sure, doesn't make a whole lot of business sense to me coming from the food service industry myself, empty seats for late attendance don't make any money, but hey COVID has been hard on this industry. Here's where it gets frustrating, so I ordered an Americana breakfast for $23, the eggs were comparable to Denny's, the sausage links were cold, the home fries were burnt and the toast comes unbuttered with a prepackaged smuckers container of strawberry jelly. I asked for hot sauce and got a couple of tear packets of tapatio. Diner food and nothing more. Not exactly what I expect when I see a 4% mandatory gratuity for the chef. This is not what I see when I see a $115 price tag all said and done. I mean you can at least spoon the jelly on to the plate and present it to match the high-end status of your establishment. But I figure hey, ya know what I'm having fun and the bottomless mimosas are just that. So the time comes to leave, and the receipt that we signed states $59 and some change. Alright, that's not bad. I check my bank account and I have not only been charged $85 in one transaction but there is another mysterious charge a day later for $10. This does not include the price of the tickets paid prior to entry. This reeks of shady to me, while ultimately the sneaky double tip and total add up (the $10 does not but I am not going to call and argue with some poor front of house person for $10) I dislike very much not having full transparency and disclosure from any establishment, but particularly one that markets itself as a cut above the rest. I especially don't appreciate being forced to buy food that isn't very good. I really hope my friend will start booking at other venues in Seattle because I do not want to come back here.

We had reservations for a group of 20 for early dinner on a weekday. They were surprised when we arrived and had to set up the tables for us. It was incredibly hot inside only to find out their air conditioning had been broken for at least a week. Not calling the person who made the reservation to make us aware of this goes beyond bad business practices. Appetizers came quick. Some were good and then there were mishaps like the guacamole that had a laughably small amount of guacamole and the steak nachos which clearly had canned cheese sauce then melted cheese on top. Half of our group received dinner and had finished eating long before the other half of the group received meals. And the bathroom... no words. Literally had a sign posted to flush fast 4 times in order to get the toilet to flush. They offered us a minor and meaningless discount but this whole situation could have been avoided if they simply called us to let us know we might want to change to a restaurant with AC on a day that was really hot out. It was a miserable experience.

Awful. 5 of us ordered different meals and an appetizer...they were all 5 terrible. Beef was rubbery, tortillas were tasteless, tortilla soup was just chicken and broth, salad was just lettuce on a plate with dressing. Awful!

Service was excellent and atmosphere is beautiful, unfortunately the food didn't follow suit :/

The food and service were wonderful. I had the salmon with a bacon spinach and cream sauce. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce was incredible!

Excellent happy hour!!! Great drinks and large apps for a inexpensive price. Very cute restaurant and patio. Will be even better once the area construction is finished

My recent visit to La Pergola was an overall disappointing, horrible and surprisingly racist experience. My husband and I (Note: I am a Latina) arrived and were seated at the bar right away by a friendly and attentive staff member. We then proceeded to order drinks, followed by food. Our drinks arrived and we enjoyed them while we waited for our meal. Approximately 20 minutes after receiving our drinks and ordering food, a couple (Note: they were both white) sat down to the left of my husband and I, and were immediately greeted by what appeared to be some sort of manager (Note: the manager was white), who they engaged in friendly conversation with. The couple ordered food and drinks and continued their playful banter with the "manager". Another 10-15 minutes passed and my husband and I began to inquire amongst ourselves as to the status of our food order. All the while, the "manager" and the (white) couple to the left continued their verbal hanky panky. Then, a server approaches from the right with trays of food. This food is swiftly delivered to the (white) couple to the left, one of whom had ordered the exact same entree that I had, a full 20-30 minutes before they placed their order. My husband and I decided to cancel our food order, pay for our drinks and leave. A few minutes after requesting the check, another server approaches with one of the three items we ordered, informing us that the appetizer is complementary due to the delay. This would have been a well received and appreciated gesture, were it not for the fact that the food they offered was not fully cooked. They essentially handed me a box of raw coconut shrimp on my way out the door and thanked me for stopping by. I wish I could recommend La Pergola, because the setting is charming and the location is great, but I will never again subject myself to the humiliation I experienced there. This has only made me miss Taqueria Cantina which used to occupy the same space.
