We had my friends' graduation dinner here. The food was great and the service was attentive but not pretentious. We had a couple bottles of wine, one of them tasted funny and they gladly exchanged it for a new bottle.
Pros: Attentive Service
Cons: Parking

I have been coming here for years and I have always loved what was on the menu as well as the location and the service. However the last time I visited Ray's was exceptional. The service was great throughout the night and when my keys were locked in my car by the valet (downside of the night) the bar tenders were super friendly and I got drinks and dessert on the house. I highly recommend the bartender Ben K, he was very friendly and made great drinks, and he was just fun to talk to. Overall, great visit, although the valet got no tip.

FABULOUS view of Seattle across the Sound. I have ALWAYS gotten GREAT service and GREAT food, even when I brought 20 people and arranged for separate checks(not easy on the servers). Everyone in my large party of "out of towners" agreed that the food was excellent and service was GREAT. I have always gotten GREAT food, cooked exactly to order for Lunch and Dinner. Brunch is a buffet so a few things are cooler than I like, but still good. I recommend Salty's at Alki to EVERYONE that is looking for a GREAT seafood meal.
Pros: GREAT seafood for a Market price
Cons: Should make Reservations

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

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
