This restaurant is only getting two stars from me because of the fact that the kids liked it. I went recently for a friends' birthday party. The food was about what I expected, more about the show than the flavors. The price, to me, was high for the quality of it.
What cinched the bad rating from me was how the manager hurried us out. He actually leaned over and told a few of us that we had to go because there was another table waiting. Way to make our celebration special! Jeez!

I've started shopping at this "big box" home improvement store a bit more since the service at both Home Depots near me finally became so poor that I stopped going to them. I've had experiences with Lowe's that were not so great in the past and their prices are a little higher than I've found at other places.
That said, I've usually had good customer service in terms of the staff actually knowing the products they carry and being able to answer more technical questions. They also have been far easier to deal with when needing to return or exchange something. And, I've had better luck finding more obscure items there than at my local hardware store or at Home Depot.
Now, I often skip the others and start at Lowe's.

Great beer. Great burgers. I love that I can pop in after 2pm and still have lunch on a week day...not so easy to do in West Seattle.

My first visit was the week they opened. I've been back a couple of times.
The wine list had some harder to find Italian wines on it. Each time I've stopped in, I've ended up sharing food with friends. Nummy small plates. It can get pretty busy as they also have a full bar...so they pull in a bit of a cocktail crowd too.

I recently brought a larger group (there were 12 of us) to this spot for dinner. The venue is small, so I definitely recommend calling in a reservation if you will have a group of 4 or more. Also, let them know in advance if you have any special needs for a celebration.
Excellent food, great wine, friendly service!

It's early yet as the winebar has not been open a full month yet. However, I've been here twice already and will likely head back again this week. Why do I love it?

It's early yet as the winebar has not been open a full month yet. However, I've been here twice already and will likely head back again this week. Why do I love it?
1. Great Italian wine list
2. Styles itself after Italian enoteche
3. Simple, flavorful food prepared from fresh ingredients.
4. Nice cheese list.
5. Great prices, especially on lesser known wines of good to excellent quality. (Ruche'? It's a grape from Piedmont, Italy)
The staff has a few kinks to work out, including keeping the temperature stabilized and keeping the smells from the kitchen from overwhelming the air in the rest of the place.
I have high hopes that I will be able to give this joint a five star rating in the not-too-distant future.

I've been a member of this gym since 2000. The guy who was in charge of the 5th and Olive gym (his first name was Glen) was not a good manager. He moved over to manage the West Seattle gym (near Delridge and Andover). I almost left because of how poorly things were going under his management. He's gone now and I believe the quality of the classes and programs have improved significantly.
West Seattle is the one I use most often: bathrooms are pretty wet most of the time, studios are in good condition, LOVE the class instructors. Especially Natalia for the step aerobics classes.
Queen Anne: one of the older gyms in the Allstar family and the wear and tear shows a bit in the locker rooms. Parking can be a headache depending on what time of day you go and whether or not there is a major event at the Arena or Seattle Center.
Key Tower: I've only been there once. Nice views. I'll probably try a few more classes there this year.
Fifth and Olive: I have not been there since they reconfigured the space a few years back.
