This office is a husband and wife team. Dr. Harvey the husband is a physician in the same office, and Dr. Harvey the wife is the dentist. She is great. I’ve often had the “not quite a cavity, but a forming spot” diagnosis, and previous dentists would always push me to get it fixed right away. Dr. Harvey does not seem to want to push for unneccessary dental work, and marked a few spots for checking carefully next time. She is also very nice and pleasant. The more interesting experience in this office was the cleaning. The technician was very, very nice, though not the most gentle I’ve ever had, and she likes to share her whole life with you while polishing your teeth, pausing ever so often to let you nod with your mouth open. I’ll likely stick with this dental office, but will try to ask for a different technician next time I go.

To summarize: Phenomenal food, great service, nice ambiance. We went to Brasa to take advantage of the “25 for 25” offer (25 great Seattle restaurants offering $25 3-course dinners Sun-Thur for the month of March 2006), and absolutely loved it. To take advantage of the offer, you are limited to certain items on the menu, but that basically just eliminates about 3 items, so most of the menu is available to you. Most dinners on the menu normally cost slightly above $25, so it’s a deal even if you didn’t want the appetizer and dessert with it. But you do want them! Between the 3 of us, we had the tuna carpaccio, tomato orange soup, and mussels for appetizers (all excellent). Then steak, mushroom risotto, and paella for main courses (all three to die for), and frozen lemon mousse, mascarpone cheesecake (again, both really good), and cheese/fruit plate (which was the only thing the whole night that was good, but not outstanding). The place has a nice upscale ambiance and the service was seemless. If you can make it there on weeknights in March, it’s a steal for supreme food; if you make it there later, it’s still good value for the quality.

If you’re tired of the Starbucks and Peet’s coffee chains, head to the Fremont Coffee House, just a couple of blocks west from Fremont Ave on 35th. This coffee spot has a great feel as it is built inside a regular family house with rooms and nooks that carve out semi private spots to read or work on your laptop. They offer pretty much everything that Starbucks does, plus have a great selection of rootbeers and tasty desserts (my favorite was the cardamom cake). There is also seating outside for when it’s nice.

Right in downtown Fremont, Bouchee specializes in crepes, both sweet and savory, but also serves up very yummy appetizers, soups and salads. The meats plate is a great appetizer choice. I’ve tried several different crepes now and all were great. However, they are a slightly different style then you may be used to: instead of the soft, folded in half or quarters crepes, these come rolled up like a wrap and are slightly drier/harder. This doesn’t make them any less good though. The stand-out dessert is the apple and brie crepe – unusual but very tasty. The only dissappointing thing on the menu is the crème brulee, which does not taste as fine and fresh as it should. Prices…I think they’re about $12-15 per dinner crepe plate. Ambiance…very warm (dark red walls), quite romantic, yet casual. It’s a nice place for a date of a budget as the prices are not too high, yet the place has a nice feel. There is also a corner in the back with a couch and a wine facts game where you can have a drink before dinner.

The Frame Up is my favorite knick-knack store in Fremont. It sells a variety of home décor items and wall art that work really well as gifts. I recommend coming here if you need a gift for a friend or housewarming, or just for yourself. Unlike Capers and other similar stores, these guys aren’t ridiculously overpriced, and most importantly, they have an in-store framing facility, hence the name, that does anything from traditional frames to mounting postcards and other stuff on wooden blocks.

Maya Whole Health Studio offers services that help you achieve … whole health. Classes include different types and levels of yoga, pilates and soaring crane, and Maya has contracts with a number of professionals that offer skin care, bodywork, accupuncture and nutrition services. At least on massage therapist is a preferred provider for a number of insurance plans, and I suspect others are too, so check before you pay. I have done yoga before, but I took their intro to yoga series to go back to the basics, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the class and the teacher (Mari). It’s a very calming place, which is what you want out of a yoga/massage place. They don’t list prices online, but I think I calculated at one point that the drop-in price works out to $11. One more advantage of Maya – they are right in downtown Fremont.

This place is in the heart of Seattle's U Village and I can recommend working it into your shopping afternoon if you're thinking about a hair cut. Tucked inside one of the smaller alleys in the mall, Headlines has an elegant entrance and gives great cuts, although I had my doubts once I was seated and realized none of the 3 stylists I could see had particularly stylish hair. I considered walking out with wet hair, but I’m glad I was too chicken to do it because my haircut turned out great. A bit different from what I asked for but the stylist gave it her own twist that really fit me. I forget the exact price, but it was in the neighborhood of $40, at par with other good salons.

This small restaurant in a string of businesses along NE 8th Street in Bellevue has pretty good pho. So far my favorite pho has been at Khan Brothers in Capitol Hill, but I think I like this place comes fairly close. The take-out may take a bit of waiting and the price is probably above usual pho costs, but if you’re in this neighborhood (especially with its lack of other great lunch options, I recommend giving a try. It’s an ideal lunch in this cold and damp.

If you’re looking for upscale without pomp, this is it. Located near downtown Bellevue, Seastar has a clean modern look, valet service and everything else you would want from place where you could take business partners. It is also nice for a date, although not for a date of either the romantic or the casual kind. They serve mostly seafood, and it is excellent, especially the sesame crusted salmon (or whatever other fish). Save room for dessert. The prices are commesurate with the atmosphere, food and service, so don’t go here on a budget.

City Soups is just like a sandwich lunch spot, except they serve soups. They offer some 10-15 soups, a couple of pre-made sanwiches and salads and the usual lunch paraphernalia, like cookies and drinks. The soups all look so good it is hard for a first-time visitor to pick one. I tried the paella soup, and it was excellent, tasting really fresh and hearty. It’s a great cheap lunch, especially on our cold and rainy days. It is located near the Bellevue Transit Center.
