I've been to Lola a handful of times and have not been disapointed yet. Lola is my favorite of all the Tom Douglas restaurants.
Cocktails are perfect- especially the lemon drop.
Be adventurous otherwise you could end up eating the same old stuff. My favorite dish is the goat tangine, each time its been prepared differenlty and always out of this world. The quail is also tasty served with pistachios. Try the spread sampler. On our latest visit, a person in our party knew our waitress, so we received this compliments of the house. However, be prepared to order extra of the housemade pita bread- the best I've ever had. Oh and the garlic smashed potatoes- fantastic: perfectly crisp, but creamy with a hint of garlic.
Save room for dessert, but again venture out for something you normally wouldn't try like goat chese turnovers or goats milk pie.
Be prepared to spend money, but well worth it for the amount of food.

I went back a secnd time for sushi and again was not disapointed. The rolls very good- although I do wish they had more variety or rather ecletic rolls rather than the same old ones you see everywhere. I tried the tempura, which was ok- not the best- kinda small portion, but we are talking about Queen Anne.
The sushi especially the eel, salmon and tuna were fantasic- fresh and full of flavor. Plus pretty reasonable prices.
They also do to go orders, so for the days you don't feel like venturing out or dealing with the wait, you can get fresh sushi at home.

The new Lynnwood location has a completely different feel than the original South Tacoma Way location, but also offers a myriad of services not available in Tacoma.
Ladies, this spa is like no other spa- its yes a "naked" spa, *gasp* but after the first five minutes of I'm going to do what.... you realize that it is the perfect way to relax. I've experience naked soaking a handful of times and its become a ritual with a few friends to relax and destress. The Lynnwood location offers the posh spa feel, which one person in my party wasn't quite certain she liked since the Tacoma location is more "homey." The Lynnwood location is also a bit more pricey since you are paying for a newly built facility.
I recommend the body scrub and moisturizing treatment. They also offer massages, facials (which I haven't tried) and manicures/pedicures.
My other favorite part of a day at the Olympus (plan for a good chunk of the day) is their restaurant. Excellent Korean style food. The Lynnwood location offers a few new dishes, which I am looking forward to trying.

I've lived in Boston and San Francisco, both known for their Italian neighborhoods plentiful with markets and authentic food. However, salumi is nothing like anything I've ever tasted. The freshness and complexity of the meats is incredible. The homemade fresh mozarella is out of this world- you'll never want to go back to the supermarket stuff. I haven't tried all of the meats, but most of them have been delicious. Go early to beat the lunch crowd, you will wait in a line out the door for a sandwich. If you have time, try the family style dining with a glass of the communal wine. Oh and try to go on Tuesday for the best gnocci in Seattle, handmade by Mario's mother on Tuesdays.

I've only been there once and I had a cold so my tastebuds weren't completely accurate. However, I know good fresh Mexican sinced I've lived in California,this is not the horrid family Mexican that seems to be the majority across Washington. Fresh homemade guacamole, rich delicious roasted meats and its cheap. Definately the kind of place to go when you want something quick to eat. I do agree with previous reviewers that they were lacking spice. I think that they could probably kick it up a notch. Regardless, a gem.

I recently moved into the neighborhood and cannot say enough about Macrina. I had their typical stuff at local cafes, however the variety and quality at this location is amazing. The morning glory muffin was perfect- warm with intense flavors and excellent consistency. I've tried a couple of their savory items, which were also excellent. I'm looking forward to trying breakfast on the weekends. Its the perfect alternative to
Starbucks, especially if you want your food to actually be fresh and have flavor. Plus, you can't beat that they have new/different items everyday, no the normal run of the mill Costco-esque type stuff.
