Rapport Seattle

"We shared several appetizers, and all were delicious! The staff is always great! We usually stop by for happy hour after work, which includes selected wines. Many of the "happy hour" wines were empty, and it seems like it's always the same wines. I understand that for happy hour, you're not going to have expensive labels, but it'd be nice to have a little variety. I've been to other wine bars where there is a larger variety for both happy hour selections and non happy hour selections. We always have a great time when we go! Food and staff are great! However, because of lack of variety, I would not go every Friday for happy hour."

"Rapport is the perfect place if you’re planning a larger get together or event! They make it so easy to schedule and reserve space, and reserving space is free and you get it for as long as you want (no time limit). It’s the perfect place to host an event because your friends will have a great time trying all the different wines and they can pay for their own drinks while you can buy some appetizers. They have great food, cocktails, and even self-pour beer along with all the wine options. We worked with Marc for the reservation and he was incredibly helpful and truly cared about us having a good time. Whether you’re hosting a get together or just grabbing happy hour or food with a partner it friend, Rapport is the perfect place!!"

"This is one of my favorite places in Seattle not just because it’s a novelty to self serve your own wine, but because the wine comes at an incredible value as well! I think I pay 20% less here than I would at other restaurants for wine, and the same goes for the food. The food is really good, especially the Works board and the shrimp and grits. I’ve been here for work events, date nights, and family dinners and I always can’t wait to go back."

"I've upgraded my previous review from 4 to 5 - I felt then that the only negative is that the food portions were a bit small for the price, but I've been back at about 4 times now and it's great food- very flavorful. I've paid more for less, so... But what I really want to put in a shout out for are the cocktails. IMO Rapports are some of the best around. Best. You think "Well, it's kind of small" and then you take a sip. WOW! Awesome. Now to my original review: The service has been surprisingly good considering the number of patrons at the times I've dined or simply grabbed a cocktail or wine. It can be quite busy in the evenings but there always seems to be space. The self-serve wine idea is awesome and works well - so easy...although easy to spend a lot with many good wines to choose from. I've had the Black Manhattan a couple times (edit: quite a few) and was super impressed. Happy Hour daily from 3-6 with rotating drinks. Natalie is hostess supreme, incredibly personable and gregarious and makes you feel as if you've been friends forever - very welcoming. Abel left an indelible impression on my friends as our server for the evening and a docent of sorts, showing them around the wine and beer sections. The general manager, Marc, checked in with us during one visit to ensure we were having a good experience."

"What a neat place. Came here for happy hour with a couple girlfriends and had a great time. We shared the shishito peppers and deviled eggs, which were both delicious. The wine was also great. The machines you use to pour took me a second to get used to but were pretty cool. You can select how much you want - 1 oz, 3 oz, or 5 oz (I think). Love this idea as you can try a few before committing (to a full glass). Would love to come back to try more food. Everything looked great."
