Gordon Biersch surprised me all 3 times I've been there. It has a really wide selection of food, which is great for vegetarians like myself (check out the hummus salad). My husband loved his steak there as well, in addition to the usual burgers etc. It also has quite a bit of seating, so they get you in really fast, even if you have more than 4 people, which is rare for downtown. Add to that great beer, nice servers and proximity to the downtown movie theaters and you've got a winner.

Dad Watson’s might just be my new favorite place in Fremont. The atmosphere is dark and cozy. We sat near the back where the secluded, wood paneled booths and eclectic décor reminded me of the kind of old-fashioned restaurants my family used to take me to back in New England. The brews are very tasty (girls, try the Ruby ale) and the dinner menu is great. I had the halibut and chips, which are now my second favorite in town (only because the price is slightly inflated compared to my top pick, Chinook’s).

I recently visited the Elysian and was impressed first off by the wide variety of vegan and vegetarian food items. Yes, it's located on Capitol Hill, but nevertheless, I have never visited a brewpub with such a selection for non-omnivores. I was further impressed by the prices and selection of the alcoholic beverages. My friend was quite pleased with his two different Belgian beers, and my Framboise was the best beer I've ever had (possibly because it tastes almost nothing like beer, more like sweet raspberry alcohol). I had a squash soup which was hearty and creamy (but creamless) and came with some tasty crusty bread. I strongly recommend this place!

Don't go to the Pyramid because you want a 5 star dining experience, go because it's a glorious summer evening in Seattle and you feel like kicking back with a good beer and some delicious pub grub. They have excellent beer battered fish and chips and yummy french fries with the skins on. I second the recommendation of the apricot ale, though just uttering the words makes my husband shudder.
Beware: This place is a zoo on Mariner's game nights!

This is a most unusual wine shop for Seattle or elsewhere. First, not many wine shops or tasting rooms have you greeted with a dog. Stanley is an aged yet still engaging and gently playful Golden Retriever who makes quick friends of all dog lovers and some who are not.
Jen is extraordinarily knowledgeable about Washington State wines from "small quantity" "high-quality" wineries. The fact that you can go in and taste before you buy is a definite benefit. Expect the wines to have a great deal of personality. As such, a few I did not particularly like, but most were really superb finds. Jen's knowledge of wines is only exceeded by her memory and engaging personality. I live in Florida but go by the Tasting Room almost every time I am in Seattle. Jen always remembers me, my partner (Karen) and trips that I was scheduled to take several months previously. Her easy manner makes the tasting experience a delight.
Occasionally a business decides to do things a bit differently and the right combination of people, product and atmosphere come together. The Tasting Room is one such place.
If you even like wine, the Tasting Room is an experience that I think you will find memorable. If you really enjoy wine and are in Seattle, a visit is a "must".

This place has some very nice pottery pots, whimsical pots, English pots. Also has some nice tea accessories. You can also have tea there, although I've never stopped to do that.

I love this store and go there all the time to get their loose tea. I am a big tea drinker, and I get different kinds of tea every time I go. My favorite is ginger peach, apricot, peach ambrosia, tropical, very berry, gen-mai-cha...and so many more! They have a variety of spices you can buy in bulk, which is awesome because you can buy a little at a time, so your spices are always fresh, not stale!
Pros: A large selection of spices and tea

This is a great place to go for an amazing burger and fries. The burgers here are not too dry and huge! I used to live in Oregon and went to all the McMenamin Pubs there. This is also a great place to get a beer and chill out. The decor is amazing with murals all over the walls. Even at its busiest times people seem to have a quiet calmness about them adding to the relaxed mood. I usually go here on Friday nights when my work week has been extremely harsh.
