If you want to rediscover food and how amazing it can be then this is the place to go! Sam and his team have a passion for food and they have found the perfect way to translate that passion into a physical presentation through the food they serve. I know that when I take my wife to Lloyd Martin's that no matter what I order I will never be disappointed and always amazed. If you want to be amazed and rediscover the many ways food should taste I highly recommend a trip to Lloyd Martin's!!!!
The best bar in town with the best bartender, Shane Sahr, and a great kitchen makes this five stars all the way!
Still talking about this meal days later! Devastated I live all the way in Illinois and can't run over and have it again (like now!)
I'm certain absolutely everything on the menu is fantastic, but my favorite thing to do is let my server lead the way.....we had everything from venison sausage, lamb ravioli, and bacon wrapped rabbit....to an enormous bone in steak that would make you wanna slap yourself it was that good. Truly awesome!
Tried lloydmartin for the first time with husband and brother/sister in law... we're not the easiest people to impress with food, however we were more than impressed. Service was friendly yet refined, ambiance was warm, and food was deliciously elegant. We asked the chef to create a pre fixe with bells and whistles and he did not disappoint. Will definitely be back.
Sam is an amazing chef and supports local, always. His staff is so very accommodating and the ambience while dining is superb.
Seriously, one of the top restaurants in Seattle. A true gem. If you don't know, you're truly not eating.
Great food and drink and good wine list. The service is also superb. I will go back many times.
The BEST quality - like, they're practically giving away five-star food at three-star prices! Every dish is interesting and delicious. Don't miss LloydMartin's housemade ice cream!
Incredible 5 course! Waffle,Eggs, excellent caviar AND white truffle? Hamachi with foie grated on top? Mind blowing! All the ingredients were fresh and the dishes felt inspired. THE item to order at Lloyd Martin is the chefs choice. I'll be back!
5 stars over and over. My #1 Seattle great food and cocktails restaurant.

I'm in love with the steak tartare... So blow away every time.... Keep it coming��������
Killer meal. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The chef came out more than once to check on us.
Rarely can one find a top-notch cocktail bar and a top-notch restaurant combined seamlessly into a dining experience. Casual yet sophisticated, excellent cuisine yet with a touch of home served in it. I have yet to find better value in Seattle.
Kind of obsessed with this place! Incredible ambiance, inventive and approachable food that is beautifully executed, great wine list, genius bartender... Stop reading this and GO!
Delicious!! Our favorite neighborhood restaurant! The constantly changing menu, depending on what's freshest and in season, keeps it new and exciting. My favorite so far is anything beef - think along the lines of beef cheek. Looking forward to my next visit!
You know. Pricey but I just love their main dishes. To be honest I haven't really had an appetizer here that I fell in love with but everything else is great.
You need to make sure you order a cocktail of some kind here. The in house bartender (Sean, I think) creates all of the recipes and even ages his own bourbon.
Casual spot. No need for suit and tie.
Such a relaxing atmosphere, yet so much fanciness at the same time. Delicious food and unique drinks. Very hipster.
After living in the neighborhood for a few years, my first visit to Lloyd Martin was overdue. Their food was phenomenal, and even more impressive considering they change the menu daily. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable when it came to their food and spirits, and was able to walk me through the process of finding a perfect dish. They offer a quiet ambiance, a sociable bartender, and a beautiful back bar. Definitely recommend for a go to date spot, or simply a wonderful dinner.
You won't believe the incredible food that comes out of the tiny kitchen! Elegant and creative cuisine, but always with some haute comfort food options. Cocktails and wine selection make it worth coming here for the bar alone, but treat yourself to something amazing from Chef Sam. Pick anything-- you can't go wrong! Watch for his market tasting menu in the summer and exciting, playful pop-up reinventions from time to time. The service, food, drink, and overall experience are always stellar. It's probably my favorite restaurant in Seattle!
I've eaten here twice. I just haven't been able to get there again yer. What the chef, Sam, does here is incredible.its just one room, including the kitchen! It's an extremely small kitchen. Just getting any food out seems like a miracle, but providing the best food in the neighborhood, and a constantly changing gourmet menu, is a big wow. As I said,this is one room. It can serve a good number of people, and you can eat in small groups at the bar, but this place is best designed for parties of 1-3, at the bar, and parties of two at the table. I can't remember but I think there are a couple of tables for parties of four.
Note that this place is always packed, so plan in advance or arrive early. Also, they have a great happy hour of gourmet small plates.
They only serve dinner and often have amazing special events but you have to reserve for most, I think.
The only reason I will not give this place 5-stars is the bartender - he ignored us through a three-course meal eaten at the BAR. Luckily, the owner came to our rescue and was polite. The food was great - really imaginative, perfectly prepared, and simply plated. The cocktails and wine were equally well-chosen and priced. I will go here again and again - and only if seated at a proper table. #NoMoreBartender

If I had only one last meal in Seattle for the rest of my life, it would be here.
My husband and I stumbled into LlyodMartin the second day it was open. It has been our favorite restaurant in Seattle since then. We moved to the area from Kansas City, where the farm to table movement has taken hold of the hearts and taste buds of folks. The food we have had at LlyodMartin has also followed the same tenant of fresh, quality ingredient- local when possible. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the food, the drinks, and the thought behind the restaurant. We usually request to sit at the bar, so that we can enjoy the company of Tyler, who will walk you through a cocktail like a master storyteller.
The food is superb. For our Valentine’s Day celebration, we dined there. (It is our go to choice for special occasions.) They had morels. MORELS IN FEBRUARY! I’m convinced Sam is a wizard. He also shared the location of the best dandan noodles in Seattle, which has made my husband a super happy camper.
Having traveled the world and lived in both France and Italy, the only restaurant I know of that would be a contender for best meal I have ever had is Justus Drugstore, the Restaurant. Batting in that league is the highest praise I know to give.
Eat here. Do it. You won't be sad.
At this small and low-key restaurant menu changes daily based on seasonal ingredients and local specials. We had a great time at dinner here, making a reservation was easy, and food tasted very good. Highly recommend.
Sam may be the best chef in Seattle! Constantly changing menu and always outstanding preparation and service. Don't delay, this will be your favorite meal of the year!
Spare ribs hit the spot. Moscow Mule and a great glass of Tuscany made a perfect, late evening, share meal. Friendly service, too.
Presentation, creativity, accentuating the flavors of every key ingredient in all of his dishes. Best chefs tasting menu I have ever had.
Great bartenders. You have to get a cocktail if you come here. Tell them what you like and let them make you something new.
Delightful people and beautiful food served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere devoid of pretense. Loved every minute and every bite! Thank you, Chef Sam!
Great food, nice low-key, laid back spot. Belly pork was great, but the octopus starter was a little overdone.
Phenomenal drinks, phenomenal food. Outstanding service. What's not to love?
I was there only for drinks and discovered that the bartender makes a fantastic version of the Old Fashioned.
A can't go wrong stop! Great menu and bar, Shane and Jen are fantastic
