Don't go here...really.
Posted by bodude on 06/04/2009
Went to the market to pick up flowers for an event and decided to eat here since we have never gone there before and the menu sounded good. I never felt like we were even welcome to spend our money to eat there. Kind of like we were inconveniencing the staff by eating there. If that is the case I am so sorry for deciding to dine there. From the hostess to the waitress, just miserable zombies. If the food was good I would have at least given 3 stars but the food wasn't terrible, but it didn't taste any better than chicken helper casserole...or what they call their Paella. Tasteless, bland dish. Did I mention poor service? I've never left a zero for a tip...ever! But I didn't tip a penny cause the service was that bad.

Deliciously Bolivian Food!
Posted by Nayra on 10/11/2008
This is a fantastic restaurant with a great ambiance and wonderful service. I grew up in Bolivia and I can tell you that this food is definitely authentic and delicious - unlike any other Bolivian restaurants I've tried here in the US (there is another good one in San Francisco called Pacha Mama). As for Papa a la Huancaina - the previous reviewer is mistaken. Papa a la Huancaina is very much a Bolivian dish, can be found in nearly all Bolivian recipe books, and one of my favorites growing up. :-) Peru and Bolivia share many dishes and others have slight variations - shouldn't be surprising but what is important is that they have rich and amazing flavors and Copacabana really knows how to offer that in their dishes.

Bad food
Posted by melissahudson on 09/03/2008
My boyfriend and I went there to try the cebiche and it was bad. First of all, we have been to Peru and know very well how it is made. The cebiche here is with cooked fish, an oxymoron!!!!!!!!!!!
They also name their dishes after Peruvian dishes. For example, Papas a la Huancaina, is Peruvian. It was invented in Peru and in their menu it says that it is a Bolivian sauce. Give me a break!!!! This is just pathetic.
I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone unless I want to give them a bad taste of what South American food is like. At least Peruvian food.

Leave Your Pretentious at the Door
Posted by Waugust on 06/07/2008
It?s all about expectations. You won?t get gourmet for $13 I don?t care where you go but you will get good tasting food with a beer or good glass of wine also reasonably priced in a neat looking setting including both the restaurant and the market area. I?ve had both fast and slow service on different visits but when slow not to the point of being a major problem. I never miss it when in Seattle.

Great location right at Pike Place market, but food was sub-par
Posted by twobabylambs on 09/23/2007
This restaurant is awesomely located right at Pike Place market. They are on a second level and have terraced seating where you can look down into the market. We were feeling adventurous and decided to give it a try. Fiance ordered paella, but it was probably illegal for them to call it paella because it was really just curry colored rice with some pre-cooked mussels, baby shrimps, and chicken, mixed and then microwaved before serving. I'm not exagerating because they have an open kitchen and that's what I saw happened. I forgot what I ordered, but it couldn't be that impressive either because we didn't even bother to take a doggie bag. Wish they were a coffee house so we can sip coffee and enjoy the ambiance of the market. Too bad...great location, but I just cannot recommend anyone to go there if you're looking for good food.

Yummy food and an enjoyable setting...
Posted by Andrea H. on 10/22/2005
I love this restaurant. I tend to go back and back and never have been disappointed! The food is unique and very different from a lot of the restaurants around Seattle! It is a wonderful place to enjoy a beautiful view, sit on the deck in a fabulous setting, and enjoy a great sunset! A fun place for a group party, to start off a great night, or even a first date! A must try...

Great Bolivian Food
Posted by Francine P. on 04/17/2005
Great South American food and a wonderful view. A fun place to go in the summer to have a glass of sangria and some paella. The only place in Seattle to have the two together on a balcony facing Puget Sound!!
