My husband and I decided to dine here after enjoying Lola's food at a party at the Palace Ballroom. The food was really delicious, if a bit expensive. We enjoyed the spreads as an hors d'oeuvre. We had the feta spread and the fig and olive spread and really liked both. (As a side note, it seemed a little ridiculous to have to pay $3.50 for extra pita bread for the spreads.) My husband had the octopus and I had the greek salad. The salad was outstanding ... really fresh and yummy with great quality ingredients. My husband enjoyed the octopus, but I think if we go back, we'll just split the salad. We each had a tagine as an entree. My goat tagine was fabulous. The meat was so tender and flavorful. My husband's lamb tagine was really good too but not as wonderful as the goat. We had the "doughnuts" for dessert and they were tasty but nothing special in our opinion. The cocktails were good, especially my husband's sidecar, and we both enjoyed the "house" wine. Service was polite, efficient, and prompt. Our server made great menu recommendations and was gracious about the fact that our salads arrived before the spreads. Also, the reservations staff and hostess were very kind to us. We had a reservation for 9:15 on Saturday night, but they told my husband when he made the reservation on Thursday to call Saturday morning to see if they could fit us in earlier in the event of last-minute cancellations, and they wound up moving our reservation to 8:30 pm. When we showed up at 7:45 pm planning to enjoy a drink at the bar before being seated, they were able to seat us right away, which was great for us tired young parents! Overall it was a really nice night out. It is a little pricey, even considering the high quality of the food and service, but it is well worth it for a treat!
Pros: Delicious food, kind service, fun atmosphere

My kids and I have this quarterly ritual. We visit the Pacific Science Center. We find that there is always something to discover and that they update their exhibits frequently, each one more interesting than the previous. Great fun place that's also educational and a nice breather from the malls.

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

Even though we live on the eastside, we visit Six Seven every Mother's Day for the most awesome brunch around. (The bacon alone is worth the drive but the made-to-order-while-you-wait omelets are great, too.) We also bring out of town guests there for dinner because it's hard to beat the charm of fine dining on the waterfront, even when the weather isn't the best. (In summer, the outside deck is open for seating). There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Wait staff NEVER rushes you and you feel free to relax and enjoy the experience.
Pros: Beautiful waterfront view, creative dishes with NW flair
Cons: Parking can be an issue

Over the past year (including last night), I have had several private and business dinners at Andaluca, all of which have been a fabulous experience. Every aspect of Andaluca from the great service, wonderful cuisine, and romantic ambiance, contributes to an incredible dining experience. The unique menu offers a wide variety of excellent choices for both full entrees or smaller tapas perfect for sampling. The food and presentation is amazing.
My business clients insist on returning to Andaluca each time they visit Seattle.
If you're looking for great atmosphere, with world class service and cuisine, I would highly recommend Adaluca next time you're visiting downtown Seattle.
Pros: Atmosphere, cuisine, service.
Cons: None

If I want to be SURE my wife and I have a lovely meal out, Campagne is where we go. The food is sophisticated, and complex. Every item is prepared with excruciating care. At the same time, the service is relaxed, easy going. They'll never rush you, make you feel stupid, or try to be your buddy. They just bring you what you need, when you need it. The best.
Pros: Sauces, desserts, everything
Cons: Not cheap

Just a fun vibe at this downtown seattle hotel, lot's of communal space, friendly Euro's staying there, and really walkable to a lot of different places. Very inexpensive too (cheap!), but if you are looking for someplace fancy - look elsewhere
Pros: Cool vibe, very walkable to many areas
Cons: Not fancy

We had a delicious lunch the day of our arrival in Seattle (Feb 11th). The Salad Nicoise was fresh & very well prepared as was my fresh cod with perfectly cooked aspargus & yellow beets. The waiter was friendly & attentive. We had the opportunity to meet Michael White, the executive chef & applauded him for his recipes. When I return to Seattle, I will definitely return to Brasserie Margaux.

I travel a lot with my job and am always trying sushi in various places. I tried Red Fin after reading a few reviews here and It was the right decision. I started with the shitake mushroom dumplings which were wonderful; the sauce was awesome. I tried the chef's choice sushi tray and was impressed by the variety that was provided. Usually if you do this, you just get some tuna and mackeral and maybe a shrimp. This tray had a dozen different types of seafood, and it all just melted in your mouth. It was outstanding. I also had my usual order of uni which was also incredibly fresh. I will definitely go back. Oh, and the sake it great as well. Try the Red Fin sampler.
Pros: Amazingly fresh sushi; great appetizers; good service
Cons: It is expensive, be prepared
