I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for providing such a wonderful space to host our event. The venue was perfect, and your hospitality went above and beyond. Decorating for us was a wonderful surprise and a really beautiful touch. Both the service and food were delightful and perfect. Thank you for making everything come together so seamlessly. I’m deeply appreciative and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to hold the event.

WOW! I can see why this place is on so many lists. We ordered the Crab Benedict, Smoked Trout Crostini, and the Thai Crab Cakes. The fennel sauce on the Benedict was astounding and blended well with the iron of the spinach and the rich yolk of the perfectly poached egg. The Crab was perfectly cooked and so delicate. This is Seattle so the bread base had to be sourdough and it did not disappoint. The Crab Cakes were light and perfectly fried. Very little binder so the crab can be the star of the bite. I loved the slaw with the ginger and toasted sesame. Finally, the Smoked Trout crostini. Again, loved the bread, not so yoasted it cuts your mouth. The teout spread was divine. Great smoke flavor that still let the trout have a voice. Stop searching for restaurants and just eat here.

I have been here a few times over the years, and it's consistently great service, delicious, plentiful food, and a great neighborhood vibe! This place really hits all the spot. Most recently, I was here for a work event and Rebecca and the team went all out! We felt so welcomed and seen. Their breakfast sandwiches and their cocktails were just the thing I needed. Crispy bacon, farm fresh eggs, and everything was well seasoned! Even their potatoes were really good and I normally don't like breakfast potatoes! I wish I lived closer and could frequent this spot more regularly, I wanted to try their scones but I couldn't fit any more food into my stomach! We'll definitely be back! Thank you Arthur's!

Friendly and attentive staff! The food was good! Wasn’t super busy when we went so our food came out quickly. Minus one star because it is on the pricier end. Definitely recommend the loaded potato hash and the lemon ricotta pancakes!

From the moment you walk into Arthur's, you know you are in a something special. The ambiance is bright, warm with a welcoming vibe that set's the perfect mood for an unforgettable brunch experience. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring every detail was just right. Now, the food... absolutely divine! Every dish was a work of art, both visually stunning and bursting with flavor. The bar / libations selection is equally impressive, expertly paired to complement each course. Every bite, every sip, and every moment felt curated for an extraordinary experience. Arthur's is more than just a meal—it’s an experience, one that we’ll be talking about for a long time. If you’re looking for a five-star dining experience, this is it! We can’t wait to return.

Arthur’s is a nice cafe with Australian- and Mediterranean-inspired dishes on the menu. I went with a friend for brunch and loved the ricotta pancakes. They were fluffy and portions were generous. The drink I had was just okay, but I would like to try more of the menu and see if there’s something I like better. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant is large and can accommodate a lot of people.

I don't know why, but this place makes me want to write a review in the essence of whoville....maybe its the hormones talking but here goes: Oh, the Bebop Waffle’s shutters brought a pout to every Who, So we tromped to this new nook and wowzers what a view! We munched lemon ricotta hotcakes, fluffy like a cloud, And a grilled cheese melt so gooey it made our tummies proud. Two lavender lattes, purple swirls of cozy cheer. Had us humming “fa-la-la-lavender” with every creamy sip. The room was Whocute: twinkly bulbs, a butter dish so sweet, Mossy candle holders making whimsy feel complete. Plates arrived mountain big, enough for two (or three), So we boxed some up for later leftovers for a Who-sized tea. Servers smiled speedy-quick, zipping by with Who-ish grace; We’ll hop our happy feet right back to this fantastical place!

Wow. The plants. Beautiful. Plus the kind service from JR and delicious food. My favorite was Laura’s special seasonal bread. Oh yeah and great drinks. Can’t wait to come back and try the brunch menu. I had a great cocktail as well. Spicy pear sour. Yum.
