""What's Seattle's most romantic restaurant?"" is the inevitable question with each year's arrival of Valentines Day. One place at the top of my list is Chez Shea. It's above the Pike Place vendors on the top floor of the Corner Market Building, which also houses another contender for a romantic place to eat: Matt's in the Market.
Chez Shea, though, feels a bit more intimate. The service is attentive, and the quality of the food is consistently high. Pork belly and pork loin are personal favorites, and there's always a tasting menu for those seeking a well-rounded meal.
For a most satisfying experience, try to get a table by the window, and time your arrival so that your dinner extends through the sunset, as the changing light in the room is part of the joy of dining in this restaurant.
Pros: Intimate atmosphere is romantic
Cons: Intimate atmosphere can be noisy
