Really wonderful staff; Eric, Matt and Linda among others, go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. Excellent food, atmosphere, music, ongoing trivia games, sports and of course a huge selection of ale and spirits. Their house cabernet is terrific. My husband and I enjoy having a casual dinner and drinks, then walking across the parking lot to see a movie at the new Galaxy theater. Recommend the Baja Burger (Lots of Jalapenos) or Calamari with the best onion rings in Washington state
Pros: Great staff

We have been eating at Asado for a couple of years now and have yet to have a sub standard meal or experience. The tenderloin has always been well prepared and delicious. I also appreciate the use of infused oils and tomato relish in the plating as these add both a visual and more importantly an aromatic flair to the meal. We usually like to sit in the back table in the bar, as it is more secluded and less loud than the dining room. In fact, that would be the only drawback, all be it a minor one in my view, with Asado. It can be a little loud for casual conversation in the dining room. As for the gentleman that had a bad experience, it?s your ladies birthday, make a reservation for crying out loud. We usually spend 2 ? 2 1/2 hours over dinner and drinks and enjoy the leisurely pace at which Asado operates. If I?m looking for a faster paced dinner, I go to a different type of restaurant.
Pros: Excellent food, quality cocktails, causal atmosphere & relaxed dining experience.
Cons: Dining room a little loud.

The Swiss is a great place to go for a great evening out. Music, social and great food and good drinks. It draws a younger crowd and sometimes there is a long line just to get in to listen to some tunes and dance. Tons of fun.

Gateway to India is by far the best Indian restaurant in this area, possibly the whole South Puget Sound. Great selections, outstanding service, sweet ambience. Give them your business--you won't regret it.
Pros: Great food--love the samosas, the mulligatawny, the chicken tikka masala, the lamb, everything
Cons: no cons

Go for the happy hour, 1/2 price appetizers are great. The only down side of this place is the noise level. The pizza is also world class and worth a try.

I just went to Pomodoro today for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. I'm from Alaska and so I'm pretty difficult to please with seafood dishes but their Halibut Supreme was absolutely delicious. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant was small and classy. While it is a bit spendy, it's not bad at all for the amount and quality of the food that you get. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some great italian style food.

We've been eating there for a couple of years and I think its the best ever!!
The service is really good -- ask for Cathy (sp??). She is great and and a really good server - nice person too! Honestly, I can't think of anything to say that is critcal. The all-you-can-eat luncheon special is really good. I have my favorites such as the 'White Christmas' pizza and several of the pastas.
Cheap too!

My family and I love getting together for special occasions over brunch, and this time we were blown away. It has been quite a while since we have dined at CI's..which we had in our minds as comparable to Anthony's or Salty's but dated and a little distressed. Boy, were we in for a pleasant surprise. Not only were we able to get reservations within an hour on OpenTable, they easily accomodated our request for a high chair. The restaurant has had a remodel in the recent years and sparkles with technology and comfortable elegance.The buffet spread was beautiful, well maintained, themed and plentiful! The server- full of information, polite and always had our drinks refilled (rarely seen done so well when the refills are FREE...Im talking champagne here people!) Every kitchen staff manning the buffet was as polite and outgoing as the front of house. Manager was on the floor, easy to be seen and congenial. She definitely had a smooth running ship. The food...oh my, the food. AMAZING. Themed Carribbean food, fresh shucked oysters, and crepes were just a few of our favorites. You know when you go to a buffet, fill your plate and eat half because it isnt always what you had expected? Not here. Not a bite goes to waste with this food! And to top it off, when the bill came we were shocked!.....at how little we paid. $21.99 for adults and 9.99 for kids....that included all non-alcohol beverages, all refillable and an amazing $2 champagne/mimosa with free refills. We were so thrilled at this newly shined diamond in the rough. I cant wait to try out dinner again sometime too! We enjoyed the Lobster Shop a few weeks back, but Shenanigans is above and beyond!
Pros: Must try the Creme Brulee! Everything is beyond exceptional
Cons: None. Sunday perfection!

Its a great place to go if you want a casual meal. The have great service and a good varitey in the menu. My family and I almost always go there or lunch if we are in the area, or just want to go out for a good lunch, we always go there if my uncle's visiting . Its pretty much my first choice for going out to Breakfast or dinner. The have some really neat vintage posters hanging up that I like. Plus the guy makes really good cookies, once he gave us the recipe, but we can never get them just right like he always does.
I'm trying to find time to go there with my friends.
Pros: Food's great, the guy's very friendly, and its on a bus route.
Cons: N/A
