Marjorie, the location, once the home of Cafe Septieme and then later, Lush Life. LushLife was once owned by the pioneers of Belltown, Marco (Marco's Supperclub) and his then wife, Donna Moodie. They know service, they know food, they know experience.
On her own, Donna built Marjorie to her standards and has gone beyond any restaurant in Seattle. It has the warmth and love shown in its food and its atmosphere.
The waiters are carved into excellence (at times, the troubled service is only because its much too busy for its size.) They use organic food when its available and most importantly, in their drinks. They make their drinks from scratch...no mixers and they are generous. Mojitos, Caipirinhas, Margaritas, all of them, amazing. The food is always consistent...famous for their plantains and eclectic menu. A must try...especially for a romantic night out.

The guys who transformed Green Cat in to Local, did an excellent job, but the best thing about it is...they sold it...
Now, Dinette, recently named the best of Seattle..is my favorite. The main menu items change nightly, and the past 4 times I have been, are delicious. And they definitely have the best gnocchi in town. Their small selection of cocktails are great..some changing seasonally as well. Their niche is the toasts you can get...pick 3 toppings...recommend the herb frittata..yummy white truffle oil.
The atmosphere can be a hair loud, but nothing like the treacherous Tilth Restaurant...but it is very romantic and the colors make you feel cozy and that they put some thought in to the atmosphere. (they do need to fix the lights from dimming on and off just ever so slightly) Let's just say, my friend recently proposed to his girlfriend there...that's how romantic it is.
I suggest give it a try, its one of the best parts of Seattle dining.

I was one of the first customers when they were on Broadway...I reveled when they had communal seating! The owners were always nice, the food always unbelievable!
The new location, although great ideas and love the more space...I was so disappointed with the food and service that I almost cried. The place had lost its soul. When we asked for a wine by the glass list, the waiter told us that they must have not given it to us, then tried to tell us of the wines by memory, barely pronouncing sangiovese...Half a pour later,I asked what the soup was...he said ...looking to the sky as if it were written there..."umm its a minestrone (again barely pronouncing that) and spinach. I told him "I would like the piadina with sausage and then we'll decide..." Before the app got there, he came and asked us if we were ready..uh ok..we'll have lasagna and the a soup and arugula salad. What felt like 2 minutes later, our app came...ALONG WITH the soup and lasagna. WHAT THE @@##!!?? So we had to hurry and eat the appetizer so the food wouldn't get cold...oh but the lasagna was already cold, so we sent it back to reheat. THE knock-out punch was the "arugula salad with frisee and radicchio" it came with ($10!!) green lettuce...absolutely NO arugula...not even one stalk of frissee and maybe some radicchio! I was so upset...this place used to be the BOMB! I WILL NEVER EVER COME BACK THERE....they need to hire the people that love food again. I would rather it stay in a gross shopping center and have its soul back. I love you Sachia, but you lost me.
