They sat us in the bar area and we had to moved after sitting there for TEN minutes because our son was this us. We had to order our beverages three times and when they FINALLY arrived(after 30 minutes) they were in-correct. My Husband's food came out cold. It took us over an hour and a half to dine here. We didn't have a waiter and then person who sat us down was under 15 years old. BAD service and BAD customer service. We would NEVER go here again.

My husband and I are from Portland and ventured up to the fair city of Seattle. Every time we are here we never have time to explore outside downtown. The opportunity finally arrived and we stayed in Belltown, and wanted to check out the Queen Anne district. We asked around for good breakfast joints, and one mentioned was Minnie's. We took the trek by foot and finally arrived to the restaurant, our gullets rumbling at this point. Let me get the negative first. If I would have walked into the bathroom before we had eaten, I would have run out screaming. It was pretty obvious what activity the person before me had done, and for an added touch the bowl was accessorized with a couple of flies. Great "local artwork" on the walls, I am always intrigued by people's handwriting and the great quotes! Oh yeah, they serve food. My husband had a frittata with a side of rosemary potatoes and a scone. I had the croissant french toast with a lemon cream batter. We have to say the food was pretty damn good! The server was really nice and attentive to filling our cups to the rim with our beverages, when needed. They are suffering an identity crisis, the music bouncing from Tool to Pearl Jam to eighties tunes. Trying to hard to be grunge or post punk or ?

1 out of 5 stars!! I have been a loyal Minnie's customer for over 15 years, but it seems it has been going downhill and it's almost at the bottom!! I went there twice in the last 2 months and sadly it has really turned into a dump...not 'ecclectic' anymore, it's just a disgusting pit of a place with horrid, rude servers and lack-luster seating....The server we had (twice) was one of the nastiest people I have ever met!! The windows were so smeared I couldn't even look out to see the beautiful city....I brought my out of town family there to experience true Seattle and it was embarassing! I had to warn them not to use the filthy, broken-down bathrooms, what kind of a slum-lord is running this place? I do love most of their food, it is their only positive, however my scones this time were not good so maybe that is suffering also....So to sum it up, if you like: Rude servers and dumpy surroundings with your hopefully good meal, choose Minnie's...otherwise I suggest going somewhere else like 13 Coins which also has an ecclectic late night experience, and I can't imagine them ever letting their establishment turning into a filthy, run-down shell of it's former self......very sad :(
