Period. 1040413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the Brooklyn. &nbsp;My hubby and I eat there almost every time we come to Seattle. They have great oyster pairings, including oysters and beer and oysters and local vodka (my favorite!). &nbsp;We've even had some lovely meals at the Brooklyn, sitting in the bar. &nbsp;Wild Ginger isn't a favorite of mine. I feel like they haven't changed much in the last 15 years and what was innovative is getting a little routine. &nbsp;Still, it is very respectable and offers lots of choices. &nbsp;It has been a while, but I liked Dahlia Lounge too.&nbsp;Lola, by the same chef,&nbsp;is great. &nbsp;Tom Douglas won an outstanding restaurateur&nbsp;James Beard award not long ago. &nbsp;(ETA: I'm not a Seattlite, but I'm a dedicated foodie and frequent Seattle visitor.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040291 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 18:20:29 +0000 annagybe 1040291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do Happy Hour at the Brooklyn. They have fresh oysters for $1.50 a piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040279 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 18:09:16 +0000 AviaMariah 1040279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wild Ginger is on my list too. The crowd we're going with tends to not be very adventurous so I always go armed with a list of good places. I am not going to be in downtown Seattle and "settle" for steak and potatoes!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040213 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 17:26:24 +0000 Mo 1040213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We ate there on my 40th b-day trip. &nbsp;BF actually didn't care for his fish, but I think it was more a taste preference thing than actual quality or anything like that. &nbsp;<br />I was quite surprised at how good my food was atop the Space Needle at Sky City restaurant. &nbsp;Hmm, where else did we go? &nbsp;Blue Acre was a great lunch. &nbsp;Serious Pie was super fun for something different - I mean, potatoes on a pizza? &nbsp;What else, the Wild Ginger in the Triple Door was too much fun because you are having courses during live music venues. Decent wine, too, which matters to me &nbsp;I remember we hit up Etta's for lunch but don't remember if it was a hit or just okay. &nbsp;I do recall that the BF never got to a Top Pot donut much as he really, really wanted to.<br />I can't remember the rest, but Seattle is a foodie haven and even 'bad' restaurants are likely to be better than most places you'd find in suburbia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040196 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 17:15:31 +0000 annagybe 1040196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also we had a YLF meet-up there a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040159 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 16:34:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1040159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna. &nbsp;I had thought of them but had read mixed reviews on line. &nbsp;With your recommendation they'll go to the top of my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040109 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 15:35:37 +0000 annagybe 1040109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steelhead Diner. It's about a block from Pike Place Market on First and Pine.</p> <p><a href="http://www.steelheaddiner.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.steelheaddiner.com/</a></p> <p>Great thing about their menu is that they offer everything from sandwiches to full blown entrees.<br /> Their razor clam chowder is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seattle-restaurant-recommendations#post-1040077 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 15:01:21 +0000 AviaMariah 1040077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every year DH and I and a group of friends charter a bus and drive over to Seattle for the weekend (about a 4 hour drive). &nbsp;The girls spend Saturday shopping downtown and then we meet up with the guys for dinner. &nbsp;Sunday we all go to a Mariner's game (unless I sneak away to do more shopping). &nbsp;Every year we try to pick someplace fun and different for dinner; anything from fancy, fancy to eclectic hole-in-the-wall. &nbsp;So I thought I'd try for some recommendations from you Seattle-ites. &nbsp;Preferably something seafood oriented or ethnic and walking distance from downtown.</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
