Went here for an October 2025 date night, what a lovely little spot. The place was packed, but we had a reservation for a seat at the Bar. I forget the gal's name who was helping us, but she was uncommonly nice and helped us pick a cocktail to s

P.S.: Forgot to mention that there was no bread or biscuit or muffin option to go along with my order of scrambled eggs. Would have really liked some sort of bread at brunch.

Poor service! Came in a couple minutes after it was open and the door was still locked. Food had no seasoning or crunch to the chicken. Was really excited to try this spot but unfortunately I won't be back.

Ambience/decor is good but a little loud for my taste - you have to talk a bit loudly to hear someone across from you. The food here is good in regards to novelty of dishes, but I can't help but feel like it's on the more expensive side for
Visited Communion on a very busy Saturday night.
We did have a reservation so we were able to be seated fairly quickly, but I definitely recommend reserving in advance on the weekend! Inside, the restaurant was very warm and cozy on a rainy night, and the food itself was just as cozy. The greens

In opera they used to say the further you get from Vienna the worse the music becomes. For me, the further you get from the south the worse soul food gets. But when I say that, I'm never talking about Communion. Communion is it. I was blown aw
The food is authentic and delicious.
1) The loud, overbearing music is so over the top, we could not wait to get out and be done!!! We hosted a guest and could not hear her. And the severs were shouting at us for orders, etc. TURN THE DAMN MUSIC DOWN!!! 2) We asked to have our small ta
The gumbo was alright.
It had a nice consistency, but the flavor was lacking. Needed more kick. It was a bit underwhelming. Just an average meal.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar today (Sunday, Sept 21) and Luke was our bartender. Service was outstanding--Luke was attentive, welcoming, and made the experience feel effortless. The food was excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented, a

First off, COMMUNION R&B is a vibe.
Well situated with indoor and outdoor seating and a short ride away from the downtown area. There is a lot of residential around meaning parking can be scarce. Came with a reservation and was seating promptly. There were a few groups waiting and all

Awesome flavors, excellent service.
I visited Seattle during Seafair weekend 2025. Communion was a perfect end in to an amazing day of sightseeing in Seattle. Located in the Central District not far from our hotel closer to the Piers. This place fills up fast so be sure to grab a re
Loved the ambiance and restaurant.
The only annoyance was a patron complaining about vegetarian options at a soul food restaurant. There are tons of vegetarian options in Seattle. Complaints about vegetarian options shows a general lack of appreciation for the history of soul food and
A Taste of Home :)
My Dad and I stopped in for dinner and we were not disappointed. From the cocktails to the entrees, hands down, everything was delicious. Looking at the menu ahead of time, I saw that they had neckbones on the menu. I WAS HAPPY! I ordered my neckbone
Excellent food
We really enjoyed the food from the shrimp, chicken wings, watermelon salad to stuffed trout. All flavorful and uniquely seasoned. Service was good. Noisey but this means you canโt easily eavesdrop on the tables nearby.
Terrible check-in process
We made a dinner reservation but were not seated until 45 minutes after our reservation time, while walk-ins were seated before us. We will never dine at Communion again.
Good food but service was awful.
Server barely came to our table, we had to wait a long time to get drinks. She was rude and condescending when I asked for suggestions. We asked for boxes to go and she then spent ten minutes talking to someone at another table. Rude! She just didn't

We got the bbq shrimp, stuffed trout, Mac and cheese and salad (not pictured) Mac and cheese was really oily, when broken into the cheese separated and was quite stringy. The seasoning was unique southern twist but wished it was less oily and cheese

I've been wanting to try Communion for months and we finally made it for our anniversary. I was so excited! Sadly, the food ranged from good to ok. Most of the dishes just didn't hit. Food came out slow and was either bland or unbalanced. The inter
10/10 first time in Seattle and tried this spot out.
Incredible tasting dishes great helpful servers and the chocolate brownie was pure bliss.
Wonderful service and great dishes.
Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. The portions are generous and easy to share. Would come back!
Complete disdain from staff - food hit and miss.
We have been to Communion 4xs. The first for breakfast with my friends. They were very busy. My breakfast eggs, ordered over easy, came hard fried. I never received my side of bacon. The food was good - but, not so good to make it that much bett
Awesome food and service.
Hardest reservation to get in Seattle and it was all worth it.
This place is a must-visit.
It makes me feel like I'm at my grandmother's house. The food is exceptional, the ambience is amazing, and the people - including the friendly owner - make it a delightful experience. There isn't a single bad item on the menu and their drinks are exc
Everything we ate here was absolutely amazing.
Almost everything we ate here was also spicy. For most of our party the spice level was fine. There weren't too many left overs because no one wanted to stop eating! First things first. Go to their website to make reservations. They open reservation
Everything we tried here was delicious.
Flavors were awesome! As for quantity, there were four of us and we ended up taking home the chicken, only because I'm not much of a spicy person so I only ate a little bit and my daughter took home most of it (she loved it). We ordered 3 family sty

Too much hype...not worth it!
I was excited to dine here for my Mother's Day Brunch with my 14-year old daughter but I did not have a good experience! We sat down and waited 10-minutes before being acknowledged. Luckily, the hostess did pour us some water, so we had that. Th
Great meal!
Went last night, had a reservation. It was great - The waiter was attentive but not overly so- very helpful and kind. We ordered several dishes - we eat a lot - and they were so tasty. I really loved the collards and pickled vegetable plate, the s
Had dinner with 2 friends.
From the moment we walked in, it felt like a family table. The entire staff was friendly and inviting. The vibe inside is perfect (decor, seating, music). We got a smattering of apps; BBQ shrimp, shrimp toast, scotch egg, and hood sushi. All perfect

Excellent food and each dish has its own unique and distinctive flavors. Complete value for money .
Wow, service here is excellent! Thank you, Niles.
The food here was good, not spectacular, but good and definitely worth trying. We'll probably be back. On Yelp, the fried chicken seemed to be popular so we tried that. It was good, but not the best I ever had. Gumbo was average, maybe needed a l

Great spot! Me and my friend ordered tons of things on the menu and everything was amazing. I will definitely be going back!
I love the restaurant space.
It has a good vibe with great music playing. The night my wife and I went, service was nice, but not very attentive. It took us about 10 minutes to be seated with a reservation with open seats to sit at and once seated another 10 minutes or so to get

Loved every item I ate.
We ordered the fired chicken, hood sushi, gumbo, neck bones stew, and black eye peas hummus and everything was amazing. Food came out quick as well. It was a packed house so I am glad we came to dinner early. Loved the laid back atmosphere. We will d
I love and hate that they have a rotating menu.
You fall in love with an item and then next time you go it's gone. None the less it is always replaced with another great item to fall in love with. My favorites have the Hood Sushi, Jambalaya, Catfish and Grits, Unc's Wings, Seafood Gumbo. Hoping th

The food was incredibly impressive! We liked the scotch eggs (4/5 stars) and the vegan fritter (4.5/5 stars) was great. But the best dishes were definitely the chicken (5/5 stars blow your mind good) and the Mac and cheese (5/5 stars), I would recomm
This place really had it all.
Great staff, amazing food, solid ambiance. Went for dinner and it won't disappoint. It is a tad pricey but the food and the seasonings are well worth it.
Quo vadis, Seattle?
The first dish we ordered was tasty and quite salty. The second dish was so salty that no other flavors could be detected. A shot of whiskey (so, not a cocktail) was $25, without any prior warning. There is some sort of unnamed surcharge on the total
Awesome spot - must try!!!
COMMUNION rocks!! 10 out of 10. From the moment you arrive to your last bite you feel right at home. The staff is awesome from the first greeting, to the bartenders mixing amazing cocktails to the servers - top to bottom everyone is so friendly, nice

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar Seattle at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar Seattle page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* CoolestCough45, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* CoolestCough45 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CoolestCough45 for any questions Peter may have as CoolestCough45 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CoolestCough45 now uses their connections at COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar Seattle to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If CoolestCough45 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, CoolestCough45 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CoolestCough45's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at COMMUNION Restaurant & Bar Seattle!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
