Hit & Miss 4/23/2010

It was 4:00 pm and the sun was finally out in full force so ducking inside for Happy Hour at Mission was no easy task. Once you walk through the front door you are immediately ensconced in darkness. Pros: Decent happy hour Cons: Not so decent service more

Awful Awful Awful 1/30/2010

1 star because 0 is not an option!!!! It took an hour to settle the bill. We were not told that there was an 18% gratuity tacked on for 6 or more. One of our party needed to leave and the entire bill was brought to us with the statement about 18% written in. Waitress Lauren was very abrasive when asked to split the check so our one person could leave. Worst service I have ever experienced in my life. Not worth the time or stress involved!!! Will never go back and neither will the people I was with any of their friends or families! Cons: Waitress Lauren and Bartender where beyond rude more

Excellent Service 1/11/2010

I have read a recent review of one of the servers at Mission, Lauren, and just have to comment. My family and I go to Mission quite regularly and request Lauren to be our server. Pros: Atmosphere more

Horrible Serivice 12/22/2009

Our server, Lauren, was incredibly rude. She never asked us if we wanted another drink, cleared the plates before we were done eating and got an attitude when we asked for more water. We were never overly demanding, she was just overly impatient with us. I called and tried to talk to the manager regarding Lauren's service after we left and the manager hung up on me. Clearly they don't care about customer service at this restaurant. It's really disappointing because I've enjoyed going to this restaurant in the past however I've never had great service there. I will never give this restaurant my money ever again. Pros: None- I'd give them zero stars if I could Cons: Rude servers and bad food more

Good food. Service was not great. 7/27/2009

Our server was barely pleasant. Appetizers were great. One of the dinner was average (steak skewers) and the other one was very good. Will eat there again. Pros: Food was tasty - stuffed jalepenos was great Cons: Server attitude more

Great neighborhood restaurant, but doesn't honor coupons 6/1/2009

We really enjoyed our meal here at Mission, but were just so unhappy that the manager refused to honor the dine out coupon that we brought with us. Food is not inexpensive here. Pros: Food is good, decor is inviting, nice crowd Cons: Service is slow, Mgr refused to honor our coupon more

By far one of the best!!! 3/24/2009

We recently had a birthday party there, the service was over the top. We had a group of 37 and there was not one complaint from anyone! In fact they all can't wait to have their own parties there. The food was very authentic and there is a reason they were voted best margaritas 3 yrs in a row!! The owner went well out of his way to make this event special, by serving us himself all evening of course with help from the friendly staff. I highly recommend you go check out the Mission Bar you will not be let down. Not to mention the space is beautiful! Pros: Over the top service!! Amazing food and drinks Cons: I couldn't think of one the place is great!!! more

OK food, great atmosphere.. 4/22/2008

Been 2 times with a group of 3. Both times our food has been average. I didnt even bother taking my leftovers home the last time. It's a neat place to have a drink (seems lots of people were doing that). I dont think I'd eat there again. Pros: Good place to get a drink Cons: Parking stinks.. but thats West Seattle for ya.. more

Great food, great service 3/28/2008

I recently organized a birthday party for a friend at Mission and everything went off without a hitch. We had about 40 guests and the space was perfect for mingling and for a sit down dinner. The service was amazingly prompt and the food was great. The owner was great about communicating with me before the event to make sure all our needs were met. Thank you! more

everything was perfect! 3/16/2008

i'm all about eating somewhere with a great environment, and that is totally what we got when we stepped into mission. right away the hostess, the servers, the bartenders were all so friendly. what i liked is that they were not business friendly, but more like someone i would run into on the street friendly. the food was yummy. i recommend the guacamole with the plantains! the margaritas were tasty, strong, and absolutely lived up to the margaritas of the year award they won for the last 4 years or so. and try the coconut ice cream. by the end, my boyfriend and i were fighting over who was going to get the last bite. Pros: great boose, dark and lively environment, tasty food Cons: i dont live here! more

Great staff, great food, great spirits, great atmosphere 7/27/2007

I totally agree with supernova72. The entire staff is aces, beginning with Michael who greets and seats us with a smile and a ready quip. We?ve had the good fortune to be served at various times by Katrina, Dondra, Amanda, Meagan, Audrianna and other delightful people. Seth and Todd behind the bar are tops in their profession as are Art & company in the kitchen. Heck even Peter, the owner, came to our table to say hello. The warm and friendly spirit of this very talented group is contagious. We?ve always enjoyed the great food choices and the excellent service and everyone we?ve recommended to come here raves about the experience. We are very happy to have this very groovy establishment and these extraordinarily talented and lovely people in our neighborhood. Pros: It's walking distance! Cons: It's walking distance! more

Gotta love the staff 7/25/2007

Having lived in West Seattle for several years this is one of my favorite places to visit. What the owners have done to the interior is pretty amazing. Besides tasty food and beverages I especially appreciate the staff. I'm not in the industry but feel I know who gets it and who doesn't on the service side of things (a big plus at Mission). Pros: Great staff Cons: I keep calling it ""The Mission"" vs. Mission more

Food is Phenomenal, Service is Okay. 7/16/2007

The food here is excellent. You can't beat it for some great Latin fare. The service was slow, as if they didn't have enough people on staff or something; the server was kind of scattered. The prices are not low, and you want good service if you're paying that much. more

Ho-hum experience 6/25/2007

To be fair, I've been here only once. But probably wouldn't go back. The service, from being seated, to being served and paying the bill was slow and indifferent on a Saturday night. We opted for the tapas menue, and the food was fine, though not good value for the money. There were heaps of raw red cabbage and carrots with every plate, almost comically so. The best was the sauce that came with the flautas. Pros: Decor, easy parking Cons: Service, niggardly portions more

Great Place to eat and relax. 4/27/2007

Whet there on Thursday night and it was my first time to eat there and the food was outstanding. The portions were just the right size. The drinks were good. Refreshing new place I found! Pros: Two-story, nice atmosphere Cons: A little dark, but they have candles. more

Needs some work! 1/4/2007

I live just a few blocks away and really want to love this place, but although the staff is friendly and the ambience is cool and relaxed, the food misses the mark. Tapas are much better than the entrees, but all around, the food needs work. Vegetarian enchiladas came in flour tortillas when corn tortillas would have been more appropriate, and the yams in the filling were drastically undercooked and crunchy. On another night, the tamales were rubbery and lacking in flavor. Love the guacamole and the nachos however! Perhaps the kitchen should shorten the menu and work on perfecting their most popular dishes. Pros: good guacamole and nachos, friendly staff, great ambience Cons: poor entrees, weak happy hour, inconsistent food more

Funky place with Real mexican food 12/19/2006

My sister and I went to a birthday party at Mission. They rented the top floor with the private bar and couches. We had a blast. We didn't expect much when it came to food, but we were amazed at how good it was. My sister lived in Mexico for two years and said how authentic and fresh the food was. The menu is huge. The margaritas are citrusy and strong. The ambiance is funky and dark with tons of candles and iconic decor. We are definately going back for dinner. Pros: Authentic Food and cool decor Cons: only open for dinner, easy to miss from outside more
