Yes, this place takes a little energy, but it's worth it for the experience. Order off the menu on the first floor, get your drinks on the first floor and hike up to the third floor for a breath taking expensive view at a quite reasonable price. Food is very good and fresh (duh... you are at the Pike Place Market), wait staff is friendly and prompt, cook is interested in you getting exactly what you want and this is a different location than your average sizzler joint. I had the blackened prime rib sandwhich with fries - blackened is the seasoning and not the burning of the meat and it wasn't too spicy for a half delicate stomach. My friend had the salmon taco which were quite fresh and tasty (second duhh... you're in Seattle and at the Market). Third floor view is outstanding and actually a quiet hideaway but a tad bit hot on a rare 80+ degree day. Good location to take tourists or regular hearty Seattlelites. Another note... there isn't anymore indoor smoking in Washington, so don't fear going up to the third floor and worry about butt air - Seattle is under clean air conditions for dining :-) The only reason why I didn't give it five stars was that you have to go thru additional training to understand how to get your drink and take it up to the 3rd floor.

It was my first time visiting Seattle and we found Lowell's when walking thru Pike Street. We got the Farmer's Breakfast and the famous Eggs Benedict topped with crab. The farmer's breakfast is the same as any breakfast joint but the eggs benedict with crab was phenomenal! We sat on the 3rd floor where it's self-seating (2nd is table service). The view of the water is great being on any of the 3 floors and the bus boys were quick about clearing tables and getting what you needed. The team at Lowell's made you feel like family and that's why we will always come back to Lowell's when visiting Seattle :)

Since we have only lived in Seattle for 8 months we are still exploring the many places to eat. My in-laws were in town so we decided to explore the Pikes place market area. One of the shop owner suggested we try the Lowell's. I was a bt hesitate at first just because I thought it was just another tourist restaurant rather than some place locals would go to. To my surprise the food was very good. I ordered the fish and chips and it was one of the better fish and chips I had. The batter was light but crunchy and the fish was flaky and not mushy. My main test is the does it smell like fish and it did not. My wife also enjoyed it and she is not a fish eater. My in-laws food was also tasty. The service was fair but the staff was very pleasant. The only minus is that seating is difficult to get during peak periods and if you are lucky you can get a window seat with a nice. Overall the dinning experience was worth it. I would bring friends and family who had not tried this place.

We are locals and regulars of the market. This was not our first time at Lowells. It was saturday and we sat on the first floor. Went up and ordered 3 meals, paid and tipped ten bucks in advance. We then went to our table with our number and waited. After watching everyone in the room getting served we asked a server the status of our order. He said he would check and never returned. We waited another 5 plus minutes and asked another server what was up with our food. He came back with the food and told us the food had been up butnot delivered. I tried my omelete and everything was cold. The server said he would check and see what they could do. He never returned. The view is great. The food is good. Service and recovery are poor. It wouldnt have taken much to make it right except some effert.
