The Ballroom Now Serving Talarico's Pizza

This place has fallen from grace. Friday night. 7pm. 15 patrons total. 20 minute wait to order drinks as a table of 4. Told by the bartender we could not order from the bar because we had been seated at a table. 4 years ago when this was still ballroom it was always packed, the staff were always great. Now it is like someone wants to run it into the ground. Stay clear.

I love Talarico’s in West Seattle and was thrilled when it opened in Fremont. Have been a few times, all with great service. Went last Sunday and encountered a very grumpy staff member/bartender, maybe the same one others have mentioned. Multiple interactions made it obvious he wish I hadn’t come in. Maybe he was having a bad day, but I wish he hadn’t taken it out on me. I quickly left after getting my single slice to go, not wanting to even bother asking for a napkin. Still love their pizza, but won’t plan on staying or ordering if I encounter him again.

Awesome, friendly staff. We go often for trivia and they always make us feel welcome. Large slice pizza, usually good but occasionally less good. The inconsistency, and the fact that there was a stray slice of sausage on my veggie pizza, costs them a star, but the bar staff are all wonderful!

We just popped in on a whim, and I’m so stoked that we did. The food and ambiance were both great, but the service was the standout. Shea was our server, probably the sweetest, the best server I’ve ever had—friendly, open, funny, and then so supportive when our child got upset during dinner. She made sure he felt no shame for crying, and she empathized with him without being condescending. She made him laugh through his tears. Only a savvy, experienced, and kind server treats teens with respect like Shea did. When you go there, I hope that you have the delight of being in her section. Tip her generously, and enjoy the amazing food.

Great pizza! Super fun environment and the pizza is tasty. But oh my god, the drinks are terrible. Get drunk/drinks before you come here. The nightclub aspect of it is super nice and so is the pool. If you want a palatable drink, go elsewhere
