Smith Cove

My family and I had a layover in the Seattle airport and we stopped in to grab dinner before our next flight. The restaurant was pretty busy, but it was around dinner time. They have lots of seating and a relaxed vibe. We seated ourself at the restaurant and ordered through the website. The website would not let us select water as a beverage and it appears that not everything you order crosses over because I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and the waitress said that she did not see it on our order. My husband ordered the coop chicken sandwich, I got the fish and chips, and for my son we got a grilled cheese and house made chips. My fish and chips were delicious! They were hot, crispy, and the fish was a good portion with two pieces. My husband's chicken sandwich was good, but nothing to rave about. The grilled cheese and house chips were also delicious. Our son ate almost all of the grilled cheese and we enjoyed the crispy chips. The prices were what you would expect for a restaurant in the airport from $18-$23. We would definitely eat there again.Rating from F to A+++, I give it an A++.

Smith Cove offers a respite from the adjacent food choices but still remains busy and can get crowded - just less so than the food court. The highlight was our server, Thui (?) who was friendly, personable, efficient, and covering a large section of the restaurant.The lowlight was definitely paying $20 for avocado toast covered in red pepper flakes, which took away from the smoked salmon's flavor. The egg I added on had a weird taste from the first bite. My husband's burrito was bland, as were the dry home fries. They were out of creamer and didn't have a selection of tea so I just had hot water. It was also a surprise when our food arrived in to-go containers with plastic forks and knives. It's a good idea for people in a rush to catch a flight, but we had time to spare and would have preferred an option to select plates and silverware.If you want to drink alcohol and watch a big screen, take a seat inside at the bar area, and tip your hardworking servers well; otherwise skip this place for tastier options.

Unimpressive for a restaurant in an international terminal. Staff are friendly but food is mediocre for the price. Beer was totally overpriced too....

Wow. Difficult to understand how service could be worse. Was instructed to use the QR code to view the menu and order, then waited 10 minutes, after which a server came by my table to ask if I'd like to order. I explained that I'd ordered via the app, and he said okay and went away. Fast forward another ten minutes, when the same server comes to my table and asks if I'd like to order. Same response. Five minutes later, he finally brought my order. I worked more than a decade in the industry. I get that things get hectic. That means you hire more floor staff.

Hongnhung was our server today, and she was very unpleasant. She didn't take our order and directed us to online ordering, then we closed out with the QR code, and she came by and told us to not order more. My friends and I are all servers, so we know good service and the way in which to go about having your section closed. She was very rude to us. When she dropped off our drinks she said "I told you to stop ordering I am trying to go home" , which is understandable but it was so unprofessional and rude. I get you want to go home, but be kind!
