I'm picky and I like this one far better than any of the other chow foods restaurants. When I go there, I go for one thing: Seafood. I often stick to the regulars such as "Simply Grilled Fish" (you have daily choices).
It's pricey, but it's seafood and it's good. Portions are appropriately sized. Never too much. Sometimes leaves you wanting more, but of course that's why they sell desert and more wine.
Seasonings are used appropriately allowing for the subtelties of the meat to come out. Every now and then they have an awesome seasonal offering that makes my year, but usually it's just the grilled fish that I want.
That said: I would avoid Ivars, Anthony's, and The really expensive one in west seattle (forget the name).
This place is better.
Pros: Tasty seafood.
Cons: Line @ door on busy nights? Price? It's seafood, what do you expect.
