i really like Anthonys. I believe that the downstairs is more "casual" and the upstairs is a little fancier. Certainly worth a bday dinner.
Maximilien in the Market is close by and very nice as is Waterfront Seafood Grill on Pier 70 I can't wait for my next visit to the Queen City (shows my age, huh? Current nickname is the Emerald City). :) |
I had a wonderful meal at the Art Restaurant in Seattle. Photos of the meal and a review are online here.
Art Restaurant, Seattle [9 Apr 2010 | Art Restaurant, Seattle Here’s a quiz: the Art Restaurant, located inside the Four Seasons Seattle and across from the Seattle Art Museum, gets its name from a.) Its location across from the Seattle Art Museum b.) The collection of art by leading Pacific Northwest artists housed in the Four Seasons Hotel c.) The restaurant’s philosophy that a restaurant should be designed as thoughtfully as a work of art d.) All of the above The correct answer, of course, is d – all of the above. In Art, art is all around. The walls are sculpted from woods of … |
Last Friday I was with my Father in Seattle and we ate at the Athenian at Pike Place.
It didn't seem to be touristy at all, in fact one gentleman next to us at the bar seemed to know absolutely everyone there. Food was great and resonably priced. I had crabcakes and fries and my Father oysters then clams. He said the clams were some of the best he'd eaten and I felt similarly about my crab cakes. We each had a cold Alaskan Amber to drink. |
Seattle Restaurant Week(s) April 10-21

One of my favorite places (especially for Happy Hour - you can definitely make a full meal from their Happy Hour food) is Sazerac. Absolutely wonderful!

Ray's Boathouse would also be a good choice. Again call ahead and inquire. |
On one of the other threads there was some talk of seattle seafood places to go to. cant recall right now which one it was.

I haven't personally been there in 20 years (and to be honest forgot they were around), but I recently heard a good review of the Crab Cracker in Kirkland. Edit: here it is ... in the thread that djp mentioned. If you're looking for one of those big apron/mallet/wooden block eating experiences, there's the Crab Pot in Bellevue. If you want to drop some $$ .. Seastar in Bellevue. Seattle any of these places http://seattle.cbslocal.com/2013/01/...ab-in-seattle/ |
Thanks JPat, djp98374, and missydarlin for your suggestions. My sister in law (34 week preggo with twins) was craving crab. We ended up getting some live dungeness from Uwajimaya and steaming them up at home so she could take her time.

Well, we're back again 18 months later and went to dinner at Toulouse Petit. Great service, excellent meal...you will need reservations. We ate at 6 pm on a Tuesday night and place was packed.
Toulouse Petit -- mmmm, beignets ... Nola Chinook's |

Any reviews on brunch @ Toulouse Petit? Trying to come up with a shortlist for Oct. 6. So far:

Toulouse Petit -- mmmm, beignets ... Nola Chinook's I've had brunch at Nola a couple of times. Nice but (IMO typical of Tom Douglas' places) way overpriced. But if the eaters are staying downtown it's probably the most convenient. By October the cruise crowds will have vanished so it's unlikely to be as crowded as it is in the summer (oy.) If you can handle transportation I think Chinooks would be a terrific choice. In addition to good breakfasts, if you're there when the lunch menu is also available, October ought to be a good period for fish and shellfish too. Parking is a snap, and if they're from out-of-town, Fishermen's Terminal is a side of Seattle many visitors never see. Another option, food good, view great, kitsch factor high, is brunch at Ivar's Salmon House on Lake Union. |

Toulouse Petit -- mmmm, beignets ... Nola Chinook's the wait for brunch (they dont take reservations) can be pretty bad, so try to get there as early in the morning as you can. parking is not that bad - i can usually find a spot within 2-3 blocks. park west of queen anne ave, i feel there's more spots. also check out: http://www.yelp.com/biz/caf%C3%A9-besalu-seattle-2 http://www.yelp.com/biz/hot-cakes-mo...cakery-seattle |
