Restaurants near KOIN Center

They have the best steak in town. We went out for my birthday and they gave us a free cake

I wasn’t really impressed with the seating because I had specifically requested a more intimate setting for my partner and I as we were celebrating our birthdays and we felt like we were right in the middle of other parties both to our left and right and behind. So bummed out they didn’t take that booking information into consideration otherwise everything else was great.

I hadn’t been to the Higgins Bar in a long time although always loved it from way back. It was full and very busy - good thing I made a reservation because I think I got the last tiny table. If I want to sit at that beautiful bar I’ll need to come even earlier. It was a symphony night so maybe that was the reason. Ordered from the bistro menu and had a smaller pasta entree (radiatore pasta w/fennel sausage) that was delicious along with a cotes de Provence rose. Perfect! Wait staff were delightful. I was treated to a tiny delight amuse bouche before dinner. Fun evening pre-symphony 💕

We dined late and the staff person was so gracious and gave us incredible attention even though we were the only diners left in the restaurant. We tried to finish pretty quickly but were not hurried by staff.

Dinner was amazing! Staff was amazing! They decorated the table for my niece’s birthday, gave us a picture and overall were pleasant humans. 10/10
