The 515 - Coffee Bar & Lounge

LOVELY RESTAURANT INSIDE RENAISSANCE SEATTLE This restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the hotel. Most hotels offer the standard fare for breakfast, not so here. The range of offerings is very good and it's beautifully laid out. I stayed in the hotel and breakfasted here on two occasions, as it was included with my room. Not sure of prices otherwise. You can choose al a carte or buffet and I had the latter. There are hot and cold choices, from eggs and make your own waffles to a fine selection of cold cuts, fresh fruit, pastries, yogurts and cereals. The service was friendly and efficient and I didn't feel rushed. I'd love to know the story behind the name, but there's no information available and no-one I asked knew how it came to be.

Good food, friendly service, lively atmosphere. The prices on the Google version of the menu are very out of date, to the tune of 50%. Also, be prepared to pay a mandatory 20% service charge in addition. (Example: avocado toast is $19, not $12 plus 20% service charge and taxes.) However, conveniently located with plenty to offer a variety of dietary needs and tastes.

I’ve been here several times during my stay, and have been amazed at the service as well as the quality of the restaurant. The service by both Lisa as well as Lamont has been impeccable, and the food - whether ordering the buffet or through the menu - has been tasty, and hearty. The vibe of the restaurant is great, on both quiet and busy days. Would highly recommend coming here if staying at the Renaissance hotel.

Went on a Sunday after Xmas during a pandemic and a Snow storm. Staff was professional and the food came to the table quickly. Opens at 6 am until 9:30 am Mon-Fri and extended to 10 am on Sat&Sun for breakfast. Breakfast consisted of a healthy serving of hash browns, Two pouched eggs on top of a tomatoes, and English muffins with crab and hollandaise sauce.
