First time heading up to Seattle in 20 years to meet a friend. Wanted to see if anyone would weigh in on their feelings of Hyatt Olive 8 vs. The Grand Hyatt down the block. Also, have hit up Yelp extensively, but would greatly appreciate any recommendations on modestly priced restaurants, lounges and bars in the area. Thanks!

Tamarind Tree in the International District or its sister restaurant Long Provincial downtown.
Hit up one of the many food trucks.
take the water taxi across to Marination Ma Kai. Gorgeous views and awesome food.
You can get a moderately priced meal at just about any restaurant if you go during Happy Hour.
Ruth's Chris (in the Grand Hyatt) and Urbane both have nice happy hour options.

WARNING: Olive 8 Construction Going On
Construction is going on at the Olive 8 for the next 16 weeks. It is beyond noisy. Many people were woken up this morning (jackhammering) early. The jackhammering is on floor 6 but I am on floor 14 and the guy in the elevator that I spoke with was on the 17th floor and we heard it as though it was right next door. He said that his room was literally shaking. The construction has been going on all day. They are closing the hotel for a few days when they are working on the lobby (I have to move to the Grand during this time).
Just wanted to give folks a heads-up. You definitely may want to book elsewhere during this time.

UPDATE re: Construction
Would strongly suggest booking elsewhere. The jackhammering goes on all day Monday and Tuesday. I have been here trying to work and have con calls - no go. Went to Urbane - the music is so loud and annoying you can't get any work done there either (and yes, I did ask if it could be turned down). Since the Olive 8 does not have a lounge or any other "quiet" area I'm giving those of you a warning about booking here. The lobby tiling has finished so you can walk through the lobby but the bathroom redos are still going on rather loudly.
