Only downtown Seattle restaurant I've eaten at this year that I have gone back to over and over again. Consistent quality food and service! No snootiness I've come to expect from urban restaurants. Pros: Food and Service Cons: Atmosphere is not what I would call warm and cozy.

we wondered around town and found this place by chance. didn't want to rely on our iphone to pick a place. it looks great on the outside as does the inside. we ended our night with four delectable drinks from this sophisticated bar. try: strawberry peppa (quite strong) 8 rainy day (has gin and vermouth, peach schnapps, my fav) 10 hot apple cider with rum 6 a manhattan (can't go wrong) 6 my bill total was $33 (tax included) nice staff, good ambience. it does get packed after 10pm and the noise level is above 80dB, you kinda have to shout over the noise at peak time. overall, great place for drinks in downtown seattle. will have to try their mac'n cheese and other food items on their menu next time. Pros: drinks! Cons: parking (not so bad at night or maybe we were lucky?)

This place opened up in the Hyatt Olive 8 recently, and I have to say that I was most impressed with the design. Very chic and modern, but not cold. The food was excellent, a nice mix of Northwest and California cuisine. The concept is farm to table, so they seem to be working hard on that (but always hard to know exactly). All in all a very nice meal in a great spot downtown. Pros: chic, great local food Cons: none
