I've been going to the Sitting Room for about 8 months, since I moved from the U-dist. to Queen Anne. I always found the place to be charming, with great drinks and eats. Great servers and bartenders-most who have been there for years. I was there last night-it was a sat. and I witnessed some of the trashiest behavior I have ever seen. A group of people celebrating a party took up half the room and kept trying to order coors light, vodka red-bull, sliders and french fries. The Sitting Room is NOT that kind of place. White trash orders aside, they were pushy, rude and insulting to their waitress who has served me many times and I found to be sweet and very helpful with the foood and drink specials. This poor girl-(sorry server, I can't recall your name but you have red hair and always wear great heels), went through this abuse all night and I can only hope they tipped her enough to have put up with it-though from what I could tell they were too busy disputing the cost of their tabs to get out of paying that they were probably bad tippers as well. We witnessed them take their shoes off and walk around barefoot, sit on the floor, and lick frosting off cupcakes they had brought in and then throw the wrappers and half eaten cakes on the floor! Where are these people from?!? Certainly, not Seattlites. What self respecting Seattle inhabitant would try to order chicken strips and a coors light at a wine bar? Long story short: I hope the next time I'm in the ambiance isn't ruined by WT girls and jack a$$ guys and my friend and I can enjoy our wine and cheese board without the circus.
Pros: great food, lovley drinks, excelent service
Cons: when people ""trash"" the place.
