5.0 star rating
  4/24/2010 ROTD 7/6/2010

I usually find myself waking up on a Saturday with 10-13 places in my queue to review from the past week and start knocking out reviews. Usually when I start them during the week I just enter random text, like "dfdggd", and save it to be reviewed for…More »

I came here again last Tuesday to verify my dine around Seattle experience last month. For the second time I had a great dinner here. I had the gnudi, small plate risotto, halibut, and brownie sundae.

One thing that was a bit off compared to the…More »

    I went to Zoe for a dine around Seattle dinner with two female friends on Monday night. It was epic.… Read more »

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  5/1/2010

4.5 stars.

You know that stress when you set up a group dinner for 6-7 people? You know how you aren't sure how many people will show up? How you wonder how the restaurant will handle the invariable change to the reservation right before the dinner…More »

 4. Lynn's Bistro

214 Central Way
Kirkland, WA 98033
(425) 889-2808
4.0 star rating
  5/1/2010

I went to Lynn's a week ago as part of Seattle Restaurant Week. Normally I write reviews much sooner but I've had a hard time knowing how to rate Lynn's. It definitely was a 4 or 5 star, I just couldn't decide which.

I think when it comes down to it,…More »

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill

4.0 star rating
  4/28/2010

Poppy did something very few restaurants do when I ate there tonight, it made me happy. And that wasn't just because I enjoyed the food it was because of the whole experience.

It may have helped that our reservation wasn't until 9:30. By then the…More »

Neighbourhood: Madison Park

4.0 star rating
  3/26/2010

A couple of years ago I went to Hong Kong and stumbled on a Japanese restaurant with the best sushi I have ever had (I haven't been to Japan). And now every time I have sushi I judge it against my five star sushi meal in Hong Kong. So far I haven't…More »

Categories: Vegetarian, Modern European, Mediterranean

Neighbourhood: Phinney Ridge

3.0 star rating
  5/1/2010

Overall I enjoyed Carmelita but I think I'd prefer Plum Vegan Bistro in Capital Hill.

Both of our appetizers, the asparagus soup and salad of the day were pretty good. The entrees for me were a bit less exciting. I'm not a huge fan of thin crust pizza…More »

Neighbourhood: Downtown

3.0 star rating

I wanted to like Campagne much more than I did. First of all I will say the service was absolutely incredible, the restaurant interior is amazing, and certain tables have a really great view. It has all the trappings of a great restaurant.

The reason…More »

  Update - 3/30/2010

I suggest that you read my previous review of Palisade below before reading this.

I went to Palisade again tonight to give it a fair shake since I hadn't been here in a while. And what better time than during dine around Seattle? I have to say my…More »

I went to Crush once a little while after it opened and actually remembered liking it quite a bit. So I was excited to try them out again during restaurant week. Unfortunately it turned out to be pretty disappointing.

First of all, the chairs! The…More »

I don't have too much to add other than what Nina N., Jennifer L., and Susan S. said about our experience here.

Our reservation was at 8:30 but we weren't seated until after 9:10. Our entrees came around 10:10. In their defense there was a mix up…More »
