I second Cafe Presse and or Le Pichet and Quinn's. But you must go Bleu Bistro and try the vegetarian BLT, it tastes better than the real thing and I love bacon

Oh it was to be crispy

This sort of thing is just ridiculous. With people starving around the world and including New York City itself Im sure the $25,000 someone might spend on this would go a long way to something other than your own selfish indulgence.

His show was overkill on Food Network. We enjoyed him at first but got tired of him very quickly. So no, we won't follow him to Fine Living.

@ Paris, I didn't mean to be rude, I just am a fierce defender of my cities culinary superiority and would be upset that a visitor in search of great chow might end up at Palisade or House of Hong or Salty's. All fine establishments for what they do, but not the best of the best like Maneki and Quinn's. Yes I would add Salumi, Monsoon and a few others up here to the list, but I was impressed with Culinary Rabbit and Kimberlee's knowledge of the area as admitted non-locals, so I felt the need to validate. Since Crydecker, from his/her intro, appears to be a lover of the finer foods, I don't think sending him/her to a Salty's is appropriate. That's all. I'm not here to offend, I'm just trying to help guide people to the appropriate restaurant.

Actually, my neighborhood in Seattle, Greenwood, has some nice if sometimes funky places, including Northside Grill (Morroccan-American, kofta, burgers and more), Olive You (Turkish-American), Gorgeous George (wonderful, wonderful Lebanese/Palestinean food - George is a great guy too -- eat at George's!!!), sushi at Mori's, neighborhood Thai, Indian & Pakistani, cheap Mexican at Gordito's, Bick's Broadview...

And Shoreline has lots of cool Korean places on Aurora Ave N.

Chandler's Bayhouse on south Lake Union -- great place for seafood (love that whiskey crab soup!) and nice view of the marinas and hills.

Always check out the International district (and Uwajimaya Village food court) for Asian food fun. All of Seattle, it occasionally seems to me, heads for dim sum just when I want to go! People line up quite early. We do, of course, have some recommendations for you. These places also have full menus.

I love Wild Ginger too, and Sazerac at the Monaco Hotel is a must go for great food.

Palace Kitchen 2030 5th Ave 206-448-2001 Palace Kitchen, Tom Douglas’s popular third restaurant, opened right under the monorail at 5th and Lenora in the spring of 1996. “As much a bar as a restaurant, Palace Kitchen features an enormous horseshoe-shaped bar, Italian chandeliers, lush velvet drapes, and gilded mirrors, as well as a 10' by 40' painting, Palace Feast, and an intimate private dining room. Nightly rotisserie specials turn over an applewood fire, and the big-flavored menu features a lengthy list of appetizers. Palace Kitchen was nominated for Best New Restaurant in 1996 by the James Beard Foundation.” All of Tom Douglas’s restaurants (they include Dahlia Lounge, Etta’s and Lola) are exceptional!
