Supreme customer service, delicious dishes, great view of the space needle, clean and comfy vibe, gendered bathrooms. Arrived at 1:00pm on a Friday with a group of 3. They had some cancellations and we were sat within 2 minutes of walking in. Our server let us know the Dutch babies are delicious but take 25-35 minutes. We ordered eggs Benedict, scrabbled eggs, and French onion soup to enjoy while we waited (which took less than 10 minutes). Dutch babies took maybe 25 minutes. Everything was really delicious and service was top notch👌🏽

This is a beloved local restaurant known for its Dutch babies. Reservations for brunch are highly recommended because they have limited seating and seem to be booked out often. The Dutch babies are a must try but we find that one might be too big for one person so it’s best if you can share it amongst three or four people and then try a couple other dishes as well. While the Dutch baby is good, I find that it’s similar to a thick pancake where it can become a lot of the same texture and you may want to switch things up, if that makes sense. The brunch menu seems to change every week which is

Even though I've lived here most of my life, I hadn't visited Tilikum Place. It was a great experience and a great brunch. The restaurant is nice and worn-in and has a welcoming appearance. The food was excellent as well. The sweet dutch baby I had with rhubarb, farmers cheese, and pecans as well as the savory dutch baby with bbq chicken, cabbage, cilantro, and red onion were amazing. The eggs benedict with seafood and the Tilikum fry-up were just as good. I hope to return soon since it was so good.

We rolled into Tilikum Place Cafe at 10:00 AM on a weekday, and the efficiency of the place is impressive—it went from quiet to totally packed within 20 minutes of opening. Despite the bustle, the vibe remains incredibly cozy; they’ve nailed the layout with tables spaced just right, so the energy feels dynamic rather than overwhelming. In terms of food: Dutch Baby (Classic) The signature dish, and it was worthy of every bit of the 30-minute wait. It arrived steaming hot in the skillet with a burnished, crispy edge that gave way to a light, elastic, crepe-like center. It honestly feels like a
