Queen City occupies a building on First Avenue in Belltown that dates to 1910, a space that's cycled through a tavern, a bakery, and a cigar stand over the decades before becoming Queen City Grill, one of the neighborhood's longer-running dining rooms. The current restaurant continues under the Queen City name at the same address.
Regulars point to the seafood and cocktail program as the draw, set in an atmosphere that leans upscale casual rather than formal. Service comes up often in how people describe the place, and a steady base of repeat visitors has kept the room from feeling like a rotating door.
Queen City also books private parties and catering, extending its Belltown presence past its own dining room.
