Champagne Diner in Seattle

Our dining experience started off well at this establishment. Across 3 people, we bought 2 bottles of champagne ($100 each), 3 cocktails, 3 appetizers, and 2 entrees over 3 hours, 1 hour of which the kitchen was closed, while the restaurant was entirely empty.When we were about to order another round of cocktails we were asked “do you plan on being here much longer?” When We proceeded to ask if this table would be needed soon they struggled to respond, simply stating we had been there for an extended period of time. Once they could tell they had offended us they stated we could stay. We no longer felt welcomed and requested the check.

Excellent hidden gem for brunch

We had a pleasant meal at Champagne diner for a good price point for Seattle. The space does not look like a diner. It takes a minimal approach to design, and the food has to be the star. Rose took care of us at the bar, and her mixology skills were excellent.  Both of us loved the fried chicken sandwich,  and the fries were superb.

Oh, they also have excellent champagne.
