Crush
2319 E. Madison (Madison Park)
I was invited to go along w/ some friends as a special guest of the chef Jason Wilson (who is supposedly one of the nation's best up and coming chef's). The restaurant is in a remodeled victorian house on the outside but a tredny, modern once you step in. It's fine dining and tasty with small portions. Impeccable service. And is supposedly becoming one of the hardest places to get a table in Seattle. Maybe a bit too pricey, but that could be due to the fact that there was foie gras in seemingly every dish....
