Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge

Brunch at Charlotte Restaurant & Lounge with my girlfriends was a wonderful experience. The brunch selection is excellent and the views are stunning — floor-to-ceiling windows on the 16th floor overlooking Seattle. Prices are on the higher end, and gratuity is already included in the check, so keep that in mind. We started with the salmon eggs Benedict, which was perfect. For dessert we shared three different options — the flourless matcha cake and chocolate mousse were especially delicious. Another big plus: they don’t rush you or limit brunch to two hours, which made it perfect for a long catch-up. There is valet parking at Lotte Hotel Seattle, but it’s often easier to find street parking or a nearby garage.

This restaurant really shines when it comes to atmosphere. The views are absolutely beautiful and make it a great spot for a special occasion or a night out. Dinner often features live musicians, which adds a nice touch and elevates the overall experience. The drinks are well made, and the servers truly stand out, always attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. I come here at least once a year, and the service has consistently been top notch every time. They also have a kids dinner menu which is nice. The food itself is decent but not the main draw. It’s good, but for the price point at dinner, it doesn’t quite match the setting. Brunch is solid and a bit more reasonable, though still on the pricier side. Overall, you’re really paying for the views, ambiance, and excellent service, which makes it worth visiting occasionally—even if the food is more "good" than "great."

Grabbed a night cap drink with friends at the bar/lounge area and had a fantastic time. Vibes inside were moody and the aesthetic high end with plenty of seating as well. The service throughout was phenomenal and our drinks were well prepared and tasty. 5/5 - would come back!

Very nice and fancy restaurant! Beautiful views of the city of Seattle from the 16th floor. Food is costly, so if hou come here, just know you will pay a lot of money. They charge a service fee besides tips. But the experience is worth it. The bathrooms were super cool! They were like a maze!

5 stars because the French Toast is world class. The best we have ever had. I'm also a big fan of the burger (got it twice during our stay, including once for breakfast), although it might not be for everyone (IMO the pickled veggies were a nice upgrade from the usual tomatos and lettuce, adds a nice crunch and acidity to cut through the richness of the patty and sauce). The fries were generously seasoned and perfectly crisped. Not recommended: The Benedict on the other hand was a bit meh. The tomato soup was also too acidic.

Oh yes mama's back. Started off with some bread and a dollop of butter, salt, and honeycomb. Mmmmm I've only seen this in asmr videos! But really? Couldn't spring for more butter? At $9 a loaf? Next the scallop ceviche. OMMMMMM yum yum yum. That was soo fire. Now the main event. I thought to myself, let me try something new! I got the dover sole. First of all why the freak does it look like that. Why does it look squeezed out of a tube? You're telling me that's fish not a banana? The sauce was doing a LOT of heavy lifting. But it was good. Finally, the Loooove dessert 😋😋😋😋 mmmm i looove chocolate! Mother got the black cod mmmmm so buttery and the stone it really looked like a stone! And talk about that view! We saw fireworks from all the way up there. I guess we know who won!!! Hahahah

Reviewing based on FORBES STAR. first of all I made a reservation for lunch and came in an hour early so thank you so much for accomodating us we appreciate it. I want to reduce 1 star for one thing which i did not like it which is when i told a server that "my table is wobbling" which i hate it if i go to fancy place and this happens as a hospitality professional i also know it can be fixed easily by adding a Stabilizer at the bottom. Server said let me see what i can do and he forgot about it so my entire lunch dinning experience was not perfect as everytime i try to cut my food my table was moving up and down. This place is beautiful highrise food spot. From the valet, hostess, server and food everything was excellent. Restaurant was very clean and spacious with a nice centre flower piece and wine glasses around and i liked it as i am a wine guy. Hostess greeted us and asked about how are we doing, where we are from. Got bloody mary to start with which was perfectly garnished came on time. Food was excellent with a great presentation and super hot. I was taking my time to enjoy my food and even after 30 mins my food was still freaking hot which i loved it. I could not finish everything so server offered to pack it for me. Cutlery were marked properly and spotelsss clean before the food came as per the course. Uniforms of the staffs were clean and well hygeine was maintained. Tables were getting reset on time and hostess was helping the server to do it. Other server stopped by to ask how is everything with a great smile. Server never asked if we have any allergy or not since i am a vegetarian i appreciate it when a forbes restesurant ask this. Over all it was excellent experience i wish i could come back for dinner or breakfast to experience other side of session.
