Olympic Bar

We visited the Centennial Tea to celebrate a family member visiting, and while we’d been to the secret bar, regular bar, and restaurant at this historic hotel, this was our first time for tea. The real highlight here is definitely the ambiance—the hotel’s century-old charm creates a chic, nostalgic setting that’s wonderful to take in. They’re currently celebrating 100 years, and there was a special tea blend offered for the occasion. I ordered it but later regretted doing so, as they gifted everyone a box of the blend at the end of the service.

The food was decent but not especially memorable. The cucumber sandwich was somewhat unbalanced, with the bread overpowering the filling, and though the desserts were fine, the Madeleine was the standout. The egg sandwich was the best of the savory bites; a few others had flavors that felt a bit muddled. Portions were generous—honestly, one tower would have been plenty for my husband and me to share. For those interested, there’s the option to order mimosas or other alcoholic drinks.

One minor drawback is the seating. Tea is served in the bar area, where the vintage armchairs, while charming, aren’t particularly comfortable for eating. Larger groups seem to get tables, but if you’re a couple, you might be seated in the corridor with foot traffic passing by. Service was attentive, perhaps a bit overly.

Overall, the Centennial Tea is more about soaking in the historic ambiance and enjoying a bit of an "Instagrammable" experience. It’s worth it for the unique setting, even if the food isn’t the main attraction.

Good place for girlfriends and family visiting.

The Fremont is a high-end hotel in the Seattle downtown area. We decided to go have a quick night cap at the bar inside. It was packed and very lively, which was a nice surprise for a Thursday night. They had an event going on in their main event hall. We sat at the bar and got greeted immediately but the service was slow. I understand because it was very busy. We decided to order food and after about 45 minutes we asked where our order was. The server was baffled and couldn’t believe we hadn’t received our food. He checked with the kitchen, and they told him they were out of what we ordered, which was the chicken lollipops. Bad communication on their part. We ordered something else and then it took another 45 minutes to come out. I’m surprised we even stayed that long but we had a lot of fun talking with the other customers. We ordered more drinks to keep us occupied as well and it still took a long time to get our drink. We heard other customers talking about how bad the service was. I think they were really overwhelmed but the servers were still nice and kind. It’s not their fault they didn’t have enough staff on hand. Let’s talk about the food when it finally came out. We ordered the Mediterranean platter and the Smoked Duck Tartine. I don’t have much to write about the Mediterranean plate since it was just hummus with chips basically. Pita bread would’ve been a better compliment. The Duck Tartine was good, but the ricotta overpowered the duck. The duck was great without the ricotta! They ended up comping our food since it took forever which was the right thing to do. Hopefully the management will get more people to staff the bar when they have events on site. The atmosphere here is amazing feels like an old rustic vibe. I’ll be back to give them another shot!

We sat down for drinks and food. Emma was our server. She was bubbly, personable, and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. Very accommodating and helpful. A delightful spot! Amazing cocktails! Exquisite vibes!

This bar was the perfect spot to relax with great cocktails (the Love Loud was my favorite!). The library provided a cozy more intimate vibe, which I enjoyed as well. The lighting here is perfect. Decor was a great blend of classic elegance and modern luxury. Bartender and servers provide excellent service. Should also check out the speakeasy!

We were really excited to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat while visiting the iconic Olympic Hotel. Unfortunately, the service in the lounge was a major letdown. We were seated at a dirty table and waited 15 minutes before we had to find a server ourselves. After our food arrived, we had to track down another server just to get cutlery. Super disappointing, especially in such a beautiful spot.

Very nice people. Gentleman offered me and my girlfriend his seat when there were none left.
Staff is fast and sociable. Drinks are
Pricey but worth the atmosphere!
