My husband and I had been planning to get married for about a year and then one day we decided to get married within a week...why prolong the stress of planning a wedding! We heard B & O made delicious cakes, so we called them. Who would have ever thought a place named B & O Espresso would have great wedding cakes? They met with us the next day, gave us samples to try of their different cakes and showed us a photo album of lots of cakes they had made in the past. They were so beautiful it was hard to decide but we didn't have time to labor over the details! We chose a chocolate raspberry tort cake with light periwinkle frosting, a cream colored piping design, with live periwinkle blue flowers and cream colored roses. They make the fresh raspberry sauce themselves and put it in as a filling between the layers of cake along with the whipped cream icing. OMG! It was wonderful, decadent, delicious and they delivered it to the place we were getting married and set it up, ready to be served. It was beautiful and not at all like the dry, tasteless wedding cakes people usually serve. Even our photographer who does a couple hundred weddings a year said it was the best wedding cake she had ever had. Try them, you will be pleased!
Pros: Best Wedding Cakes and other desserts
Cons: difficult parking

My husband and I went here for our anniversary last night (Saturday August 30th at 6:30pm). We had Michael for our waiter and he was outstanding. The entire staff was very nice and friendly as well. The food was wonderfu too and the steaks were done to perfection. It was our anniversary and they had the happy anniversary confetti along with 2 glasses of complimentary champagne to celebrate. We had a really nice time and will definitely go back.

Kisaku is amazing. I've gone at least once a week since it opened. I highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar. Nakano-san and Shimi always come up with really creative things, and all the food is always amazing. Take a minute to ask what's fresh, what's in season, and what you just absolutely must try. Definitely take their suggestions and be adventurous.
Oysters on half shells are a must to begin the meal, and if Aji Tataki is up on the specials board, you're in for a treat. In terms of cooked food, the tofu dengaku (fried tofu in red miso sauce) is sublime, and they the best calamari I have ever had in the country, no joke.
Also, either make reservations or come at less crowded times (it's easier to get in earlier, especially on week days).
Pros: Great fresh fish. Great entrees. Great desserts.
Cons: Parking can be annoying if your new to the neighborhood.

I brought my girlfriend there for New Year's Eve, looking for a special evening. I got that and then some. This is the first time I've reviewed any place, but I thought that this evening warranted it, especially after last years train wreck.
I found this place online and chose it from the great reviews others had left on multiple sites. They only offered a preset menu for $75/person (but as I found out in years past, so does every place on New Year's). I know, sounds like a lot, but it was 5 courses + champagne.
We arrived 15 min. early for our 8PM res. and the place was packed. We did end up waiting 10 min. for a table, so we had a drink at the bar next door. Looking around the place looked a little old school, until I heard the muzak version of Nine Inch Nails! Ha! The service was incredible, or should I say the "server" because it looked like he had the whole restaurant himself, and yet he was still very attentive and helpful deciphering the Italian language on the menu. It looked like the owner running around helping, very nice guy also.
The food was spot on from the little bite of an appetizer that we were served with our champagne almost as soon as we sat down, to the awesome tiramisu (and I'm a connoisseur). I had the best carpaccio I've ever had, it was made from Kobe Beef! The mushroom risotto, (YUM), came out with the potent smell of truffles. And the Kobe New York (need I say more?). My girlfriend is a vegetarian and they had the whole spread for her too, and she loved it.
All in all a great meal that I will be returning to find. My girlfriend even dragged me into the women's bathroom (not like that) to show me, and the place was a palace, and all the guy's had was a lousy shoebox. I guess they know who to pamper.
Thanks for making 2008 go out with a boom.
Pros: Food, Service
Cons: Too far from my house!

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 attended the Kasbah feeling great and warmed up to the enviroment inside. The food smelled and tasted great. The flavor was perfect and just right to get you eating more. The service kept you in your seat. The waiter was welcoming and was checking in on us to see if we were doing great and we were enjoying our time here. I highly recommend the Kasbah, you wont regret coming here, trust me its a journey you soon wont forget, I'm definitly coming back.
Pros: Everything is perfect
Cons: Nothing

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!

from the minute we set foot in the restaurant, we felt as if we were in the presence of close family. juan carlos' charisma, combined with edward's outstanding knowledge of the fine basque cusine completed the experience. in retrospect, the experience would have been meaningless without the amazing food and wine that the staff brilliantly presented to us. the dishes were a perfect representation of authentic spanish cooking. i loved the fact the chef's preferences were perfectly obeyed, if you asked for olive oil with your bread, you would not only be refused but practically ridiculed, i loved every second of it. the idea that the chef is so confident with the way his dishes are presented, that they should be had NO other way. NO salt NO pepper NO olive oil, i promise that it comes out of the kitchen PERFECTLY seasoned.
