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.
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.”
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.
We went here for my wife’s birthday dinner and we had a great experience. The service was impressive: attentive without being intrusive, polished yet genuinely warm. Every detail feels thoughtfully handled, from timing to recommendations, making the entire experience feel effortless and special. They even provide a little stool for a lady’s handbag. Our server, Gene, was very gracious and answered many questions about the restaurant and hotel, the chefs, prix fixe courses and ingredients.
The cuisine is where Charlotte truly shines. The menu is innovative and refined, showcasing inventive techniques and unexpected flavor combinations while still feeling approachable. Each dish is beautifully presented and clearly crafted with intention, highlighting high-quality ingredients and a modern culinary vision. The Executive Chef spent some time working under Daniel Boulud, who would surely be proud of what comes out of this kitchen.
Everything we tried was delicious, but a few were especially scrumptious. The parsnip soup is surprisingly good, nutty and earthy with a slight sweetness and not a hint of the sulfurous notes that can sometimes accompany parsnips. Torchon de Foie Gras melts on the tongue like the creamiest of butters and is perfectly balanced with the quince coulis, a true delight to eat. Both desserts were fantastic. The Stone looks like a garden stone but is actually a sublime sesame mouse cake that tastes a bit like halva, just less sweet. The Nashi Pear Tart is very good but needed something to balance sweetness and the pear’s delicate flavor was a bit lost among the other flavors; perhaps an apple tart would have fared better.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy exceptional food with one of the best views in Seattle, Charlotte delivers on all fronts.
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.
For breakfast, Avacado toast served in breakfast is also really good. We asked for maple syrup to go with our oatmeal which made it delicious.
They have pencil colors for the baby. My baby loved playing with it and coloring the space needle.
Staff is very helpful and courteous.
