Is 2 hours 15 minutes too far? If not, check out the Cave B Inn in Quincy, future location of Microsoft and Yahoo (http://www.cavebinn.com/), it's got a winery, an Inn, and a very good restaurant, Tendrils. Here's a review of Tendrils: http://www.cavebinn.com/PDF/tendrils.pdf. The view is spectacular, too. It's right next to The Gorge Amphitheater, voted best outdoor concert venue in North America 9 years in a row (http://www.hob.com/venues/concerts/g...eral_info.asp), so watch out for concert weekends in the summer.

Edited to add that CostCo in Wenatchee is selling $100 gift certificates to Cave B Inn for $79.95 each. They're good at the Inn, the spa, and at Tendrils restaurant.

auh2o and I went there back in January, had the same thought and promtply left and went to Brasa.

I did go back there a few weeks ago w/ some peeps and it was... well... expensive pizza. I had a sausage and peppers pizza and honestly, could have probably eaten 3 of them. You can tell that the ingredients and toppings are fresh... but dude... it's just pizza! ;)

I think Via Tribunali is better AND they're opening a location at the tpo of Queen Anne.

Pizza-wise, I'll always have a special place in my heart for Northlake and Zeek's.

I can't afford to eat there anymore, but Rover's in the Madison Valley neighborhood is an incredible restaurant. The chef recently published a book; read this blurb and it might inspire you to go there: http://www.amazon.com/Rovers-Recipes...2972174&sr=8-1

Both places have excellent views, scenery.

You said you'd be willing to travel south - why not go to Cannon Beach ORE and have dinner at the Stephanie Inn? Lovely place, great views, good wine.

Or travel north to Wickanish Inn on Vancouver Island (outside Torino).

Umm. . I live on Bainbridge ;) that's the name of the restaurant - at the end of Winslow. However; there is a place in Cannon Beach with the same name run by the same people who run Stephanie Inn.

It looks like the usual list of participating restaurants...

Here is a map of all the participating Twenty-Five for $25.

It seems that it is hard to get on this "list" but there are other restaurants that have special price fixe menus for the same price during the month.

Marjorie is one example.

Can you give me the address of the "Wayfarer" on Bainbridge. At the end of "downtown" Winslow (on Madison) is the Winslow Way Cafe and Cafe Nola, slightly futher is Madoka, a Japanese restaurant. Around the corner near the water is "Doc's" (Doc's Marina Grill) and "The Pub" (The Public House). Winslow ends at the water. I always thought those were private homes out there on the water but I will check it out.

I tried to Google it and the only hits I got were this thread.

Bump. Anyone got anything new. I'm going to Serious Pie tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.


EDIT: So we went, we ate, we left. Soooo not impressed. The pizza is alright but nothing to write home about. I have one of the potato ones and I've had a better potato topped pizza in Puyallup and a mom and pop joint. $24.00 for a pizza and 1 glass of wine. I will not be going back.

In conjunction with some previous talk about the Herbfarm, in today's (4.13.07) Seattle Pi, there is an article, link below, regarding a "fundraiser" that the Herbfarm is putting together.


The Herbfarms participates in fundraiser

For most mortals, dinner at The Herbfarm is reserved for special occasions. But there's a heavenly feel-good dinner coming up April 19, an appetizer to this summer's Share Our Strength "Taste of the Nation: Eat, Drink & End Childhood Hunger" on July 19.

"A Tasteful Pursuit" also focuses on combating childhood hunger, with fundraising events at some of the country's most renowned restaurants. This year's lineup includes The American Restaurant in Kansas City, Cafe Boulud in Palm Beach, Fla., and Lola Bistro in Cleveland. The Herbfarm is the only Northwest venue on this year's tour.

An all-star team of chefs will collaborate on the six-course menu. Jason Wilson from Crush, Matt Dillon from Sitka & Spruce (recently named one of the country's best new chefs by Food & Wine magazine), Michael Ginor from Hudson Valley Foie Gras and Don Yamauchi from Tribute in Farmington Hills, Mich., will join Jerry Traunfeld in that dazzling display kitchen.

The dinner is $350, with 75 percent of that tab tax deductible. Reservations: 425-485-5300.

Tickets for the big event in July at Fisher Pavilion in Seattle Center are now on sale at tasteofthenation.org/seattle_tickets.
