Went to Julia's last weekend, because friends told us about the great shows their having. We found out that the Edwards Twins were performing on Sunday evening.
We had dinner which was great, they just got a new menu, than saw the show! WOW these twins impersonate stars like Barbara Streisand and Elton John, but what is amazing they sing in there own voice! We had such a good time, found out they are performing Sunday through Wednesday at Julia's on Broadway, with a changing show every few weeks.
Pros: Best Entertainment
Cons: none

My wife and I ate at the Icon this past Saturday, May 2nd. We were staying at a hotel across the street and after returning from the baseball game around 9:30pm, we were soaked (getting to the car) and famished. Sorry, garlic fries with 20,000 other people don't cut it so we wanted something solid but not too heavy. Well, at that hour, the hotel did not have any good options. We noticed the Icon on the way back from the game, so we thought we'd give it a try.
I must say that we were very pleased with everything. The ambiance, the food and Alfonso, our server was great. He could see that my wife wasn't feeling well and suggested some comfort foods that would be more agreeable for her. He was very personable, knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Knowing this was our first time there, he took great care of us and that in itself was a comfort.
She settled on the Fettuccine and I on the Flat Iron Steak. We were both very pleased with our entrees - good flavors and well prepared. However, I have to tell you that I was blown away by the Cajun sauce that accompanied the fett. Our waiter raved about it, but warned not to dump it all on the pasta at once - good advice, as it is nice and sweet up front but has a wicked back-heat that shows up after about 10 seconds! I swiped it and used it liberally on my steak. It combined very nicely with the Roquefort sauce and the natural juices of the meat. We also liked the fact that the accompaniment sauces for both dishes came on the side.
Thank you again for a great experience. We look forward to our next trip to Seattle and another chance to enjoy the Icon.
Pros: Comfort food, comfort service

What makes this place so great? I don't know if it is just the food or maybe the service or even the cook in the kitchen. Some how all of these things coming together in one space works incredibly well. Everyone seemed to actually care I was there. Was like being adopted for the evening.
Speaking of food, we enjoyed the rich crab gratin first and then shared a fabulous chop salad that was so simple it was amazing. For dinner we split two entrees. I had the perfectly cooked fresh salmon, still pink in the middle like it should be and crispy skin on the outside. My wife enjoyed the seared scallops, well she got a few bites that I didn't eat. I'm not sure where they get their desserts, but I'd like to find out. Our server presented us with a tray of tarts ranging from chocolate to salt to fruit stuffed. We went with a luscious chocolate one. I can't remember the name and I was told they change all the time. Who knows what we'll have to pick from next time.
I'm sure I could write all night, but I'll have to save something for next time.
Pros: Feeling like you are adopted by a family that cares about you.

My husband and I have been hearing about this place so we decided to give it a try, and we were not disappointed. The brunch was amazing! We have sense been back several times and have taken out of town guests who shared our sentiments. The wait staff is always friendly. We have been for dinner as well and wasn’t as thrilled, we enjoy the brunch menu a lot more. The price is a little high for 2 people if you get a Mimosa or Bloody Mary, but it’s worth the splurge!
Pros: Food
Cons: Price

I was fortunate enough to go with someone who had been before, along with another friend, so was warned as to what to expect. Laurie and Phred are the owners and they were both in house and some of the nicest people I've ever met. We had delicious wine in our hand almost as soon as we sat down. We were asked how hungry we were and if there were any dislikes or allergies and then we were completely in their hands. Course after course both of wine and food and it was all delicious. The ravioli especially made me get a little weepy it was so good. I can hardly wait to go back!
Pros: Epicurian adventure
Cons: you have to give up control.... I didn't mind but some might

Nice place to get together with friends over some libations and pu pus, cool vibe throughout, modern sleek, the cuisine doesn't seem to jibe exactly with the decor (comfort food + ultra modern design?) - but I kinda like that
Pros: Nice drinks & atmosphere
Cons: none

This place is a classic. Hadn't been since i moved out of Seattle, but popped back in on the way home from boarding Baker while i was home for the holidays. Fun people, great strong cocktails, beautiful view at night of lake union and the city. Just like i remember it. wish it had been 80 degrees so i couldve used that huge deck!

I've been here for breakfast a few times and it's always awesome. The Dutch Baby "Pancake" with apple is my new favorite thing ever--I'm not a huge normal pancake fan, but this was entirely different. The most thick, delicious, custardy treat I've ever had for breakfast, and topped with an outrageous espresso whipped cream! Their teas are awesome, Umbria is their wonderful coffee, their prices aren't bad, and their service has never been slow. Yay!
Pros: All the food, decent prices, good date spot, good solo spot at bar.
Cons: Teeeeeny space, so gets full fast.
