I love this place. Great place to hang out late night. They've got the best happy hour menu in Seattle. The spicy habanero prawns and the shrimp quesidalla are the best. Plenty of tables so it's easy to get a table even on weekend nights. Also, they always play good music. The service is generally but the servers can be a little inattentive when it's busy.
Pros: Habanero Prawns

We recently had a birthday party there, the service was over the top. We had a group of 37 and there was not one complaint from anyone! In fact they all can't wait to have their own parties there.
The food was very authentic and there is a reason they were voted best margaritas 3 yrs in a row!!
The owner went well out of his way to make this event special, by serving us himself all evening of course with help from the friendly staff. I highly recommend you go check out the Mission Bar you will not be let down. Not to mention the space is beautiful!
Pros: Over the top service!! Amazing food and drinks
Cons: I couldn't think of one the place is great!!!

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

I'm a regular here and I can't think of another place I've ever felt more welcome or more at home. No matter whats on the seasonally menu (which makes it all the easier to go back again and again) I'm never dissapointed and I'm always excited to see what I might find when I sit down. Best bar in the city, best most consistantly good food in the city and by far the friendliest (but not in over zealous) staff I have ever met. Please try it but don't take my seat at the bar.

I went to Eva's on a 5th date. We had a great time. The ambience is nice, low lights and grape vines. We arrived on a Wednesday night kinda early, and were glad to see it was not dead nor crowded. The server was nice , not snobby. The Food! It's really good! We had an a starter of pureed vegetable and pita, that was really delicious & full of flavor. For the main dish we had the Fresh tuna noodle dish, and I had the chick pea curry. Both were really good. And of coarse the wine selection is diverse.. A range of prices there. As for overall price we paid $60 with out tip, for one starter ,3 glasses of wine , and two entrees. When I go out my check list is:
#1 atmosphere, then service and then great fresh food. Out of the three the food stands out as the star.
Eva's Restaurant & Wine Bar is top notch for what I look for in a intimate spot. 5 Stars!
Pros: delicious, fresh ,unique food
Cons: cook be too expensive for some

Ok, it's a pretty unique pizza experience, you love it or you hate it. If you like a BIG taste-explosion pizza loaded with toppings, a couple slices fill you up with leftovers for breakfast, relaxed tavern atmosphere, good location, the Northlake is for you. If you're worried you'll get sauce on your hands, prefer New York toast waxed with tomato paste, frozen pizza, or Chuck E Cheese atmosphere you'll be disappointed. I've been eating there for 20 years plus and it's always better than good. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's hopping, hey, it's a tavern not a tea house. I usually don't care for olives but we always order the combination, including sausage and ground olives, which is a perfect balance. So if you want to try a Seattle institution come on down, if you're not adventuresome you'd better stick to Dennys.
Pros: great pizza, atmosphere
Cons: occasionally noisy - hey, it's a tavern...

I LOVE this place!! My fiance and I have a hard time finding a place in Seattle or anywhere in Western Washington where we feel comfortable, can have great food at a great price, and love the music. This place has all three. I've been there several times with friends eating plates of appetizers, enjoying the live music. When we were eating there have been live bands. Now, normally, this freaks me out because they usually play too loud and make your ears ring for days...not here. The music was great, the food was better. Not many places have lumpia and blackened chicken on the same menu (and they're both phenomenal). I can't tell you enough how much of a breath of fresh air Ascada is. If I'm coming to Seattle, I'm coming here.
Pros: Great ambiance, phenomenal food at a good price.
Cons: Servers get busy sometimes - you can lose them.

Very swank atmosphere! High ceilings, low lighting, flowing walls of chiffon undulating, private tables with low bench beds, and a urban unisex bathroom in shimmering irredescent tile. Definitely looks like a place for a romantic evening of fun.
I met after work for a quick wine and small plate with a few girlfriends. HA!! We ended up staying until after 9pm partaking in many small plates, each one an exquisite execution and a unique presentation. We tried the Calamari Steak with a remolade of olives, nuts, and cheese...melt in your mouth good. Clams with Chorizo...spicy and great sauce for dipping the crusty bread. Ceviche of lobster, scallop and shrimp was to die for...topped with an orange/citrus grenache that made the flavors pop in my mouth. A Tuna Salad arrived next served in a Spanish Niccoise style complete with quail egg, potatoes, veggies and a spicy sauce for dipping surrounding a bed of well dressed spicy greens. The Empanadillas arrived warm from the oven with spicy cheese and carmelized onions oozing from these little packages that were cooked to perfection. Speaking of decadent, we ordered the flourless Choocolate Cake that was filled with a nut reduction reminiscent of a Reeses Peanut butter cup. And if that was not enough, we tried the Creme Brulee that arrived topped with an orange slice that had been dusted with coarse sugar and toasted to perfection.
I almost shed a tear when we were leaving because this fabulous live band was just warming up to play some great danceable south of the border salsa music. Definitely have to bring my husband here on a date night!
Pros: swank atmosphere and lush selection of food
Cons: NA

This is one of my favorite spots to time travel after a fab dinner. Now that they've added fresh fish to the special you don't have to go for the usual fare.
Pros: happy hour and late night industry drinks
