Wonderful hidden gem with friendly, professional staff. The drinks were delightful with helpful input from our server. The food was prepared and delivered quickly and was delicious. We ordered the Steak tartare for a quick bite. Drinks were the Philosopher King and the Huckleberry Sin.

Bartender clearly was having a bad night — moody and grumpy. Hospitality is about the guest, leave your bad day at home or don’t go to work. Also watched them drop fruit on the floor and then add it to their fruit bowl without washing it — super gross! Wouldn’t want those peels in my cocktails.

Taste really bad. The waiter was nice because she offered to change our drinks after we express that we didn't like the taste. But the new drinks were still not satisfying. We were also asked to leave in 1.5 hours, which we didn't know before reservation.

This used to be a nice, upscale experience, but this most recent trip was not that. Host was unpleasant and on her phone, waitstaff was unengaging and brusque, and we were sat off in a corner in an awkward table against the wall with the kitchen/hallway door open to the concrete hallway behind us. Disappointing direction given this used to be a go-to spot to show people!

Cocktails and ambience was very nice. The service could be a lot better. The waitress lacked attention and had to come back and ask all of our drinks again. When we asked about some of the listings on the menu, she was not friendly nor helpful.

A totally unique and cool venue. A little too dark for my taste, but really enjoyed the ambience. Noise level was low so conversation was easy. Don’t go if you’re hungry, it’s basically a joint for drinks and snacks/charcuterie.

We will be moving to seattle soon and flew in this weekend to check out some places ahead of time. I was happy to find this great bar with a “Speakeasy” vibe. The service and drinks were top notch. Recommend 10/10

Too much of a hassle to make reservations a week or more before just to get into a bar with very limited food. Bars are normally a spur of a moment decision without requiring so much planning. Other than that, great cocktails and nice atmosphere

Loved the room and the overall vibe. The staff attitude was a bit much. After an hour and half of eating and drinking we were “gently reminded” that we had 30 minutes before we would have to leave. Ummmm, what? I didn’t recall this from when the reservation was made. We acknowledged the server and didn’t dispute the policy. Five minutes later we were reminded we had 25 minutes left before the end of our reservation. I didn’t need a second reminder within 5 minutes. Not sure I need to go back.

The host treated us like children despite having a reservation. The bartender waiting on us was very short with their interactions. The entire time we were there we felt watched by the staff, but not in a “do you need anything” more like a “what are you doing here and when are you going to leave” kind of way. The host made a point to tell us “I’m gonna need this table back by 6:15,” at our 4:30 reservation, before we were even led to our table.

Loved the atmosphere and the noise level but I've been to many speakeasies before and usually the server is like a tour guide through their speakeasy's journey. Unfortunately our server for Deep Dive didn't seem knowledgeable (or just wasn't willing to help), didn't notice we ran out of water until we asked for the check, and didn't check in on us or our drinks. Not really the service we were expecting for a place with $20 cocktails.

We were greeted with a smile, welcomed, and led to our table at the bar. The space is beautiful, moody, dark, and cozy. Our bartender let us know he could make us something special- or we could order off the menu. We did both. The food was so special, as were the drinks. We were amazed and impressed by the focaccia, please get it if you go! Many servers and bartenders checked on us to make sure we were happy and well attended to. Great job, team! We will be back! -Sarah Marshall

Ordered two glasses of champagne but they weren’t in champagne glasses. Just thought it was weird in such a beautiful atmosphere. We also saw people at the bar with champagne glasses.Halibut dip was bland. Sound system sounded cheap.

Speak Easy atmosphere with over the top drinks and delicious fare. Deep Dive definitely provided a great atmosphere for an intimate dinner or business meeting underneath the Spheres. The breath of drink menu is amazing and your pallet will appreciate the experience!

The service was horrible. The table was too small for 3 people to sit comfortably or for drinks and snacks to fit on it. Waited probably 15 minutes for the first drinks and no follow-up to ask how they were, or if we wanted more drinks after mine was empty for another 15 minutes. For the prices, the service should be impeccable.

We bought a cake to celebrate a birthday and gave them a cake to put it in fridge, We asked them to bring the cake out and they cut the cake into pieces and put candles on every piece which made no sense. They ruined the birthday cake cutting ceremony

An experience, for sure. My friend recommended this place, but he’s way more hip than we are. We all really enjoyed the creative cocktails. Went on a Monday evening, so not crowded. My son & I thought that jazz music would be more fitting than the music they played, although it was a fun playlist.
