    What an experience. Half of our food never arrived. One of the items we ordered that never arrived was actually brought as a free appetizer to the table next to us for waiting. The waitress was wonderful but the place is a total operational mess. 2 hours at the table, 3 of six small place never showed up.

    Food overcooked. Remade and given in a doggie bag when everyone was done. Charged full price no comps.

    I had the pork chop which was great. Sides: mushrooms (great), carrots (not great, tastes if grill char) and fries (so-so, since they were battered). Service and ambiance were great. Would recommend just steer clear of the carrots.

    A lovely experience. Great staff and the food was outstanding. We had the oysters and martinis during happy hour and switched to dinner menu. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the filet was tasty. Definitely a new favorite

    Unfortunately we all chose the same entree, which was the filet, and it was way overcooked for a medoum and medium rare. In fact, the steak tasted and looked more like sirloin. It just wasn't a very good experience.

    The food was delicious and the service was outstanding and friendly. The prices were high, but that’s what you should expect from a restaurant located in a hotel. It was a good choice after an event at The Paramount.

    First time eating here and we were very pleased. The menu, food preparation and service were all exceptional. We don't mind paying for fine dining experiences if we leave feeling like the staff care about their customers and the food is done right. 5-Stars on both fronts here. It's been a challenge since COVID to find a restaurant in Seattle with quality food and service for a fair price. We were going to the Ballet at The Paramount Theater and didn't want to eat the mediocre food at D_____'s Broiler or R___'s C___s Steakhouse, so we gave RIDER A try. We were not disappointed. My wife is doesn't eat meat so the numerous seafood options were appreciated. Alexis and Jonathan provided outstanding service; both were very engaging. Alexis was a real sweetheart and clearly loves her job and cares about her customers. We'll be back the next time we drive into the city form the burbs. Only critique (thus 4/5 stars on ambiance), the music was too loud. Felt like we were in a nightclub. It was music we liked so didn't bother us much, but for others, it might detract from the experience.

    Asked for steak to be cooked medium rare. Came out medium well. Server left it at the table while waiting for a new steak to be fired. Brought the new steak to the table on a small bread plate and still did not remove original steak from the table. Server barely offered an apology. Will not return and do not recommend.
