The Copper Cart CafeBelltown's Copper Cart Cafe. It was actually a pretty decent happy hour stop until we were ushered out of the spot we had been in, spending money, enjoying the remainder of our drinks, by a very rude waitress for people who were, apparently, more hip than we.
It has a lovely interior, with bench seating a cute
little stools. Very hip, dark and intimate. Located on Bell Street between 1st and 2nd, it is a little on the gritty side of Belltown and might not be for those with sensitive sensibilities.
The happy hour fare was very good, and priced just right, we had the hummus plate, the Dungeness crab cakes and the Milano Roasted Garlic Pesto Pizza. The dirty vodka martinis were exceptionally good. Like I have previously said, I only order dirty martinis since they are a drink that are done either very well or very badly. I give much kudos to the happy hour waitress that served us. The happy hour champagne is, in fact, cheap champagne (marked by one hellish hangover the next day) but the price is right. Happy hour starts at 5 daily. They do have billiard tables and for those that enjoy pool, a dollar per game is a good price.
The evening waitress, in my honest opinion, can get bent. As we sat finishing the SECOND bottle of champagne we ordered, she came by and placed a reserved sign on the table and told us we needed to finish, there was a party coming in. The proper thing to have done was to close off the section earlier that evening before anyone was sitting there. Not hurry paying customers out. Waitresses of this ilk leave a bad taste in my mouth for the establishment as a whole, unfortunately. I cannot distance bad service from a good restaurant and had she acted less haughty, I might recommend Copper Cart Cafe more highly.
As we finished our drinks around 9:30 PM, we slowly got pushed out by "Bridge and Tunnel" kids flocking into the city from Kirkland and Bellevue.
I say, go. But leave before the late shift shows.
