welcome to Seattle. Definitely make it out to the environs of Ballard if you can

and I'm guessing the burrito joint was Bimbos but I'm blanking on the bar/gallery set up?

I have lived most of my life in Seattle, and I agree that the food/bars are hard to beat!
@Phaelon56: Yes, Thai Tom's is very tasty, although I cannot speak to its authenticity. It was always a go-to for us college students. Keep in mind that it is a very small, almost always crowded, and they only take cash!

Hey Hannah, hope that you had a good visit to our island. I'm impressed that you took the time. I hope that you hit the best places. Sorry about the weather: never seen anything like it!

Yes, it's the city.
Don't miss getting some Dick's cheeseburgers and fries. A must! If you get a chance, visit Cave Man Kitchens in Kent. Great, great stuff.

I'd like to second Pointy's recommendation of Quinn's — I was in Seattle for a couple weeks recently, and had some spectacular food there. I tried the braised oxtails with brioche toast rounds and aerated Fontina cheese, and my friend had the Wagyu cheeseburger, not to mention the mizuna salad and Stilton cheesecake we shared before the main course. It may not be the cheapest place in town, but it definitely warrants a visit.
Also, since you mentioned Fremont, there's an amazing restaurant there called Art of the Table; it doesn't seem to be very well-known, but I don't think you'd be disappointed by it. The place is quite small — they might be able to seat 22-24 people — but that gives it a homey and intimate feel, and the chef, Dustin Ronspies, is very involved in the process. (He even poured me a beer!) My friend and I went there for "Happy Mondays," their happy hour from 5-10 p.m. every Monday, and enjoyed a number of small plates of delectable food — everything from chilled green onion soup to tomato and goat cheese tarts to duck rillettes, each between $8-10.
I'm moving up to Seattle in the next few months, and I can't wait to further explore the myriad of culinary possibilities that await me. Have fun there!

Hi guys! Just got back into internet land from Orcas Island. The wine bar where Sky worked was called Portalis; the awesome music-filled spot in Fremont was Toast.

Rumor has it that Thai Thom (sp?) up in the U District is old-country authentic Thai food. Planning to try it on this trip. Will also be checking out Stumptown Roasters new cafe but will have to settle for the Alley 24 location when I visit Vivace - the Cap Hill place is closed and the new one won't open until early September at the soonest.

Hey, come visit Coastal Kitchen in Capitol Hill while you're in town. Excellent seafood, and we're running a Veracruz-themed menu right now. Do try the snapper.
And if you see a short redheaded chick making the salads, that's me.

For good cheap eats try the restaurants in the U district. I used to love the Ethiopian restaurant there! Sadly I don't remember the name. Also Kosher Delight in the Pike Place Market on the main street section. His sauteed eggplant is to die for with its load of garlic. Oh yum! I miss that place! I used to work 1 block away from the market and loved listening to the musicians on my lunch hour as I munched on the best eats around.
Enjoy!

Seattle certainly is a fun city despite the bouts of gloom and jet polluted air.
The big fat problem with your pleasant little drunkalogue is that you fail to name the places you visited. This is important. Don't worry, you will not be considered a pimp for letting people know which places you thought were good or bad for that matter. Opinions make a difference. That's the point of this web site isn't it? "Dallas" and the rest of the "cosmic bartending community" might actually be pleased to get their places some publicity.
Now, if you've got more time and $$ you should seriously head over to Capital Hill for dinner at Quinn's. It's a lively gastropub with really amazing food at incredibly affordable prices. Try the frites with fontina, demi-glace and fois gras....MMMMMMMMM!
