It was a last minute decision but I needed a place where I could take out-of-town guests and I didn't want to chance not being able to get a table in downtown Seattle especially after the Seahawks had just beaten the Cowboys! All I can say is that there is no longer any reason to go downtown from North Seattle for fine dining. Market Street Grill is a find and the current reviews are spot on! The wine list is superb and the staff knows the nuances of each selection. My guests (my immediate superior and his wife from New York) were totally impressed with the food and wine and totally charmed by the ambiance. Finally, sophisticated dining in Ballard without having to pay downtown prices.
Pros: Outstanding wine list, Superior food, great staff
Cons: too close to home
