Linda's is a friendly bar on Pine street about 4 blocks south of Broadway. Walk into this bar and you'll probably feel as though you've just entered a hunter's cabin; the decor features Pacific Northwest heritage, including at least one stuffed bobcat/panther. My friends and I have never even tried visiting on a Friday or Saturday as it is packed (and mostly with people who are cooler than us; it seems to be a hangout for the pierced/tattooed crowd). But I've been several times during the week when there is a little more breathing room. The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, and the service is friendly. The onion rings are the best yet that I've had in Seattle; the burgers are thick and juicy.

The Stumbling Monk is a pleasant little tavern located on Olive Way about 2 blocks south of Broadway and roughly two blocks north of Summit. Being a tavern, it serves only beer and wine (no hard liquor). There is no kitchen, so you'll need to eat before your visit. The establishment has about a dozen specialty beers on tap, mostly microbrews from foreign lands. The staff is very helpful with recommendations; just let them know how you like your beer (i.e. bitter or smooth). My friend and I were very pleased with the service. The tavern is small and on weekends gets quite crowded. The acoustics of the building are very poor, so you may have trouble carrying on a conversation without yelling. There is only one small single-user bathroom, for the guys and gals to share (somehow, this just adds to the charm of the place), with a small sink just outside. The lighting in the bar is just right (not too bright and not too dark) and adds to the pleasant ambiance. Despite the noise level and the bathroom accommodations, you will likely feel very comfortable in The Stumbling Monk. Every time my buddy and I visit we ask ourselves "Why don't we come here more often?" The fact that they don't serve food is the only real drawback, but they more than make up for it with the non-smoking atmosphere.

Jo Jo Teriyaki is located on Olive Way, just three blocks south of Broadway and about a block north of Denny. Although the meals here are about a buck more expensive that most other are Teriyaki restaurants, the quality of the meats is a little higher, and they put the salad in a separate container for take-out. They also offer Tempura dishes and a Bento Box. There is a sufficient amount of seating in the dining room, which is pleasantly decorated in Japanese theme.

Glo's is a very small restaurant on the Hill; it seats about 20 diners (at tables that are ridiculously crowded together) and is only open for breakfast and lunch. Most of the food is okay with decent portions, and their omelettes are very good. However, the pancakes are mediocre at best (probably the worst I've ever had at a restaurant) and the breakfasts are overpriced. Also, once your food is served to you, the waittress tends to forget about you. There is no counter w/ stools (only tables) so it is not particularly friendly to single persons. There is often a waiting line outside, and if you're a single person hogging a two-person table to yourself they will hint for you to leave (i.e. failing to refill your coffee cup). Don't expect great service here.

This IHOP on Capitol Hill (about a block east of Broadway) can boast something that most other breakfast spots on the hill cannot; it has parking. The restaurant is clean and the food meets the IHOP quality standard. Also, this is located behind the Silver Cloud Inn, so its a good choice for travelers. As far as I can tell, it's the only place open for breakfast 24 hours on the hill. This IHOP does not have a counter, so if you're dining alone you'll have to wait for a table. The chicken-fried steak is very good, but I'd have to give the Pot Roast dinner a thumbs down.
