Tonight was my first ever visit to The Triple Door. I saw Los Lobos and sat in the 3rd "row" center. Every seat here is a good seat. If you want more comfort, bring a group and choose a booth. If you want to be close to the stage, there are hard chairs and bar-like seating with a narrow "table" in front of you.
I can't speak for the entrees but I did have two of the night's special cocktails in honor of the band (delicious) and a coconut sago pudding for dessert off of the regular menu. I enjoyed the dessert but some might have found it a little too sweet. If I remember correctly, the sago came with a fennel infused pandan sauce. It was good but I couldn't really taste the fennel, which in my opinion was a good thing.
Even though this intimate venue, with its multiple levels of booths and bar seating, is nicer than most concert venues I've been to in Seattle, I noticed that the crowd was casual. You can get dressed up if you want, but I saw a lot of plaid shirts, tees, and flannel. Then again, maybe it's because of Los Lobos (which, btdubs, ROCKED IT ALL THE WAY OUT).
Acoustics were awesome. The music was loud but not so loud that I couldn't hear anything when I left the venue. The only drawback for me was that it was a little tight to get up and dance. If you want to do that, choose a row at the wall or on a corner of the front row so you can get up near the exits and not block anyone's view.
You have to walk down a level to get to the theater and the bathrooms are down another level. I didn't see any elevators and it is a smaller space, so I wouldn't count on easy accessibility if you have issues with mobility. I did see a couple "box seats,", which are behind glass on the first level and separate from the venue below, but there is still a slope to get to them. However, for a band like Los Lobos, I wouldn't want to sit that far away from the crowd (which was fantastic) or the music. This is the closest you will be to your favorite bands than most venues, so take advantage of it!
Finally, pro tip: park in the garage around right next to The Triple Door / around the corner. It was only $12 to park. Take your ticket with you because you need the QR code to access the elevator. If you pay for parking in advance using the QR code, exiting out of the garage is fast and easy.
