WG Downtown is THE PLACE to enjoy a wonderful dinner ..... of your own making, many delightful tastes, flavors, styles, all with matching beverages to choose from .... before (or after!) a concert at Benaroya Hall, just across the street!

We had a lovely dinner before a show at the Paramount. We had the salmon and the steak frites. Both were flavorful and delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive without hovering. We finished with the wonderful cheesecake. It was a delightful part of a great evening!

My Carlile Room experience deserves an A+++ score! But, I admit I was worried when I read the restaurant's menu sent by OpenTable with my final confirmation email. OT's menu was NOTHING like the menu on the restaurant's website. The differences being one menu that was intriguing. and one serving up glorified diner food. My guest/helper and I were going regardless; we had concert tickets for The Paramount Theater right across the street from the Carlile. I use a wheelchair and need an attendant, so proximity between the venues would make our night easier to manage. I had also read several reviews of the restaurant by dissatisfied diners. I hoped those assessments were anomalies; I've never had a truly "off" dining experience at any of Tom Douglas's many catered events or restaurants beginning with his employment as a "rising Seattle chef" at Cafe Sport in 1984. ( I've lived in/near Seattle for 50 yrs. -- yikes!) On arrival at the restaurant, we were delighted to find the menu very like the one on their website. Our server was gracious and attentive from start to finish. The orders of handmade potato chips with artichoke dip and crunchy shiso peppers arrived promptly. We devoured every scrumptious bit. Next, a well -priced French brut rose champagne was poured. (Chips and fine champagne: a classic combo, non?) I ordered the scallops with pesto, brown butter, & pureed cauliflower; balanced, yet sensuous and rich. My friend had the Wagyu steak, grilled perfectly. We shared a bit, reluctantly, because both dishes were so delicious that we wanted to keep our choices all to ourselves. The steak's sauce was plate-lickable (just don't, though). For dessert, I introduced my friend to the "triple coconut cream pie. He dubbed it "my dream of a dream pie." Earlier we spotted Mr. Douglas bussing tables. (?!) He stopped at our table before we left, and asked if we needed anything. He then returned with our order of coffee, which we later found was "gratis." What a lovely evening!

I must have missed the time allowance for dinner if it was posted….it was embarrassing to be asked to move to the bar so our table could be turned!

Food was very unique but very good. Drinks were even better. Service was decent, wish they were a little more attentive to the table, but when they were there they were super nice and got the job done. The burger was excellent and the Tiramisu for two (honestly it feeds 4) was extremely delicious.
