I had an amazing time until this employee informed my wife that she needed to move to make room for customers that spent more money than us.
It is tough to get reservations here and probably does not
It is tough to get reservations here and probably does not need another review, but here we go. If the food and drinks were horrible, it would still be worth having a meal here. You can certainly visit the Space Needle Observation deck, but nothing like sitting down and revolving around the city particularly around sundown. They were smart here with menu because they have limited options with food and put a lot of thought and creativity into the drinks. When you arrive, be aware there is a separate line that gets you to move up in elevator line. You order your food in advance. We had the Tower Weekend Menu and chose the Butcher's Tower and Elevated at Sea (then there is a dessert course). The Butcher's Tower is decadent and delicious. This include Beef Croquettes that were very good, Wagyu steak that was excellent, some pork belly that was rich and tasty and some other items. The two towers are definitely plenty for two people. With the food you get to choose three cocktails, one for each course. I had Swine at Sea (with Rye), Rocket Man (with rum) and Solar Winds (vodka). All the drinks were well-balanced and excellent, really a highlight. We did not like Elevated at Sea as much, but still really nice. This included sushi (which was fine), calamari tempura (a little greasy, but tasty, black cod (excellent), smoked salmon (again fine), and crab cake (very good). The dessert was something called the Lunar Orbiter that had many small bites that was also very good. This is expensive, but overall a great meal.
Heirloom tomato salad, clam chowder soup and beechers mac
Heirloom tomato salad, clam chowder soup and beechers mac and cheese. Food was pretty good and worth it for the rotating view.
The drinks are small and overpriced and the plates are too
The drinks are small and overpriced and the plates are too small to be practical. But their burger was one of the best, view from the lounge was amazing, and the drinks tasted good.
If you're already at the top of the space needle and want
If you're already at the top of the space needle and want to kick back and watch the revolving level got around it's totally worth it to grab a drink or something to eat and soak in the views. We came during the week so we didn't have to wait to be served, we just grabbed a beer which was reasonably priced and before we knew it the 45 minutes they said it takes for the floor to do a complete revelation flew by.
I took my sister to the Loupe Lounge recently to celebrate
I took my sister to the Loupe Lounge recently to celebrate a milestone birthday. We had a fantastic experience! The service was Great, the food was excellent, we had a wide range of cocktails, all very tasty. We also both really enjoyed being seated in the revolving part of the lounge. We're both Seattle natives and really enjoyed the moving panorama of this beautiful city in its springtime glory. Highly recommend!
What a cool experience! Dinner at the top of the Space
What a cool experience! Dinner at the top of the Space Needle while it's rotating. I get motion sickness and thought since it rotates slowly, I'd be okay but warning...I did get a bit queasy at one point. Nothing some water and a trip to the restroom didn't fix. It was also nice to get dressed up for dinner. You arrive and we paid for valet. There is a special line you get in to go upstairs. You have time to spend on the observation deck prior to dinner. When sat, you are fully attended to. Drinks and the view were superb. Then the courses. Such great displays and tasty! You can choose between 3 options I believe. We got the seafood one. It also included desert and your tip. Everything is prepaid which is awesome. No fuss. This might not be an ongoing treat as it is pricey but we definitely enjoyed this opportunity.
If I could give the Loupe Lounge 10 out of 5 stars I would
If I could give the Loupe Lounge 10 out of 5 stars I would in a heartbeat. Jonny and Micheal, you both made my spouse's birthday absolutely divine, thank you for your dedicated and personalized professional service. So where to start! The reservation only dining experience at the Loupe Lounge can be placed online and in advanced. Admission to the space needle is required, so when all is said and done, this isn't a cheap dinner date by far - but how often do you get the chance to sample a tasting style menu atop one of America's architectural icons? Upon arriving we were guided to the elevators, little to no wait was needed, but caution, you will need to share the elevator with GA ticket holders, the space may be squeeze for a moment or two. The lounge itself is a partitioned off space with a half wall and the level itself is open to the public. There was some crowd noise but it was never off-putting during the experience for us, just don't expect quiet and quaint at this location. The prix fixe meal come with 3 cocktails each. Each is exciting and over the top, the waitstaff/manager were super helpful describing the flavor profiles of each. I think our favorite by the end of the service was the sea-espresso. Now onto the food! We chose the elevated and sea and butcher's tower menus. For the sea menu, the oysters were not available at the time of service due to health/safety concerns. A substitute of tempura fried calamari was served instead and it was simply divine - I didn't miss the oysters. From the sea tower I believe my favorite selection was the crab cake. Generous lumps of crab paired well with sweet apple gel and pops of truffle. I'll be dreaming of them for some time. While the elevated at sea tower was impressive, the butcher's tower excelled. My spouse inhaled each course and I'm happy to say I got to at least sample the Wagyu, BLT, croquettes and pork belly. The star of this tower for me was surprisingly the BLT. These sandwich squares were elevated by marinated and juicy tomato slices, paired with bacon smoked with a nutty aroma. The portion sizes are generous enough to leave you very full - during our service we were served a truffle assortment for desert and the staff graciously provided us with to-go boxes so we could enjoy them later. Thank you to the staff and chefs at the Loupe Lounge, paired with perfect weather and a sunset, this is one dining experience we will not soon forget!
The food just does not justify the price.
If you go here for anything other than the butchers tower it's better to order from the QFC near by.
Food and ambiance was good.
The food was unique and all were tasty, great presentation. The floor is glass and it revolves so you get a 360 degree view of the city, very nice! Server was ok. Drinks were strong, didn't realize 3 servings per guest (shout out to bartendar Lee!). But why are gratuity charged for space needle tickets? Shouldn't it only be on the dinner? Not sure if it's Loupe or Tock, but it's shady.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Loupe Lounge Seattle at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Loupe Lounge Seattle page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at The Loupe Lounge Seattle to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Loupe Lounge Seattle!
