Seattle Dinner DOs - Sept 23 & 24 2018 (Sun & Mon)
 
A Flyertalk friend and I will be in town to do the Boeing tour and to board the Amtrak Coast Starlight. I arrive Sunday and he arrives Monday, so we obviously need to do two DOs. ;)

Please post your interest (or commitment!) for either or both dates and we'll see how this pans out.

Sunday dinner reservation for 4 people at 6:00 pm:
Poppy
622 Broadway East
Seattle, WA 98102
206.324.1108

Monday dinner reservation for 7 people at 6:30 pm:
Maslow's by Farestart
380 Boren Ave N
Seattle, WA 98109
206.588.4020

Aww man, I'd love to try Junebaby! But I arrive home from AMS that evening.

Interested in Monday, but it would have to be on a drop-in basis, depending on my jet-lag status.

lalala Jul 23, 2018 3:32 pm

I can walk the .5 miles or so to be there. ; )

jrl767 Jul 23, 2018 5:30 pm

I will mention this to my wife when she gets home later this evening but I tend to think we will be MOST interested

we are definitely in for Junebaby — I’ve updated the wiki

wrt Monday — Chandler’s Crabhouse is closing at the end of Sep; rather pricey, but a longtime South Lake Union fixture that we’ve often enjoyed

pcoll Jul 25, 2018 7:31 pm

Sad to hear about Chandler’s. So many good places have gone in South Lake Union. Worked at Zymo and there were fun restaurants down there. Now, built up and crowded.
Checked our schedule for Sept 23. Aw shucks...:(. ..we will be in Yellowstone.
it sounds like fun. Everyone have a great time!!

on both days? :p

JuneBaby only has 1 big table, and I've been told that it is fully booked for Sunday nights until the end of the year, so you may want to have a backup plan. The chef's other restaurant is 2 blocks away (Salare) and is also spectacular.

I'm heading back from LHR the 24th- get in at 10:50 AM and depart at 5 PM. Can watch options as they develop- interested but can't commit currently - would probably need to SDC... or have more A space open on AS.

lalala Jul 26, 2018 10:21 pm

I hope you can get a Junebaby reservation, if not, we can try Lark on Capitol Hill. That is my favorite.

boxo Jul 27, 2018 10:21 pm

Gah, why did I not get email notifications for my thread from the 25th forward?! (This may be why.)

Anyway, what bummer news. I will call Junebaby tomorrow and ask about availability. If they're booked, I'll go with lalala's recommendation of Lark. (<-- After a second think, I'm not 100% on their menu.)

I'm in the same boat. Added myself to the list as a maybe.

SEA777GUY Jul 31, 2018 1:59 pm

I will be attending both!

boxo Sep 6, 2018 9:13 am

Sorry for dropping this ball. Real life got in the way. I am back at looking for restaurants.

pleasantsn Sep 14, 2018 1:12 pm

Hey, I just saw this and I'm interested to join for Monday 9/24. I'll follow along to see if there are any updates, thanks!

Maslow’s has a Monday “Burgers and Brews” special event w Georgetown Brewing; not sure if that’s instead of or in addition to the regular offerings

boxo Sep 19, 2018 10:52 am

The Delta Fire, burning north of Shasta Lake, CA, has the potential to impact our Amtrak Coast Starlight ride to LA by closing off the tracks. Two days ago, containment was 76%, yesterday up to 81%, and this morning 87%. (Thank yous and positive thoughts to all agencies who battle blazes.) If the tide turns and tracks close by Sunday, Ted will need to cancel, and I will enjoy a few days in Seattle and book an award home.

In addition to the regular menu. Looking forward to seeing you and Mrs. jrl767. ^

I arrived Los Angeles last night on the Coast Starlight, 15 minuets earl. Crew was excellent. Scenery outstanding. Food passable. Had private stock of adult beverages in my bedroom. SCA was happy to bring me ice.

bkkth Sep 19, 2018 10:04 pm

Can you add me for Monday night, please.

boxo Sep 19, 2018 11:01 pm

Done. You can tell me all about your Coast Starlight ride to LA. ^

jinglish Sep 20, 2018 11:06 pm

Just updated the wiki; count me out for Sunday and in for Monday.

boxo Sep 22, 2018 9:37 am

Last call!

The restaurants have their rules, so speak by 2pm PT or hold your peace till next time.

boxo Sep 23, 2018 9:52 pm

Poppy was fantastic, and so was the company. We had eggplant fries, squash blossoms, flavorful thalis, and duck. I'd share some pics if I had a photo resizer on my phone.

Thanks to jrl767 and Mrs jrl767 for joining me tonight and for the pre-dinner Junebaby reconnaissance mission.
​​​​​​
See you all tomorrow at Maslow's. We've got a table for 7 at 6:30.
​​​​

jrl767 Sep 23, 2018 10:42 pm

^ thanks to boxo for recommending a great venue; Mrs767 and I are looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow (as well as a return visit to Poppy :) )

boxo Sep 24, 2018 2:59 pm

Maslow's called to say we will be seated on the bar side due to a large party in the dining room.

​​​​See you in 4.5 hours!

boxo Sep 24, 2018 10:24 pm

Thanks to each of you for coming out tonight. Until next time, safe and happy travels!

jrl767 Sep 24, 2018 10:25 pm

thanks again boxo ... it was great meeting all the other FTers ... safe and enjoyable journeys to y’all

bkkth Sep 24, 2018 10:45 pm

Thanks very much. Enjoyed meeting and chatting with all. I look forward to the next "do" in the Seattle area, or wherever I might travel.
