The Diller Room is the needle in the haystack that is downtown.

Somehow despite it's prominent location on 1st & University, it has escaped unscathed from the typical downtown (read: douchey, young money) crowd with all it's crowning hip, dark, laid…More »

Last time I was at Bleu Bistro, I thought, "Wouldn't it be creepy if I reached out of my curtained cubby hole and grabbed someone's leg as they were leaving?"  Creepy AND fun!  I didn't do it, but with the way Bleu is laid out it's a definite…More »

Oh, how adult of me, I had drinks at Sun Liquor.  And...I liked it.

My date and I arrived in time to catch the last half of their happy hour on a Friday evening.  We walked into a small bar that was packed to the brim.  Every seat in the bar was full,…More »

Greenwood is movin' on up, folks.  You other neighborhoods best watch out because we're bringing all sorts of cool.

Gainsbourg is the newest establishment adding a bit of class, character and hip to Greenwood Avenue.  The atmosphere is top notch with…More »

I had plans to meet an old friend downtown for happy hour. I suggested we meet at Noc Noc. He suggested we meet at Boka. We apparently weren't sharing a brain wave, but I agreed to broaden my horizons beyond dive bars.

I admit I felt a little out of…More »

It makes sense that my 200th review should be of a place that I love. A place that I hadn't heard of until Yelp. A place that I went to in the company of yelpers. So, for my 200th review, I give you Grey Gallery & Lounge.

I've found that more often…More »

Umi is a sleek spot to eat some sushi and drink sake whether you're in a big group or looking for a table for two.

The rolls are fresh and creative. Who knew mango and cilantro paired so well with tuna and salmon? I didn't until I chowed down at Umi.…More »

5.0 star rating
  1/4/2009

Walking through the doors, I felt like I had stumbled upon a secret hangout in downtown Seattle.  Very much unlike the neighboring bars, White Horse Trading Comapany is a small, cozy space tucked away in Post Alley.  Book shelf lined walls, stuffed…More »

I am another year older. While I'm not sure how I feel about that, I do know that Chez Gaudy helped ease me into my 24th year. Instead of thinking about my quickly aging self, my brain and stomach went to a happy place once I walked through Chez…More »

I love the fact that I had dinner here for under $10.  I do not love the fact that my drink cost more than my dinner.  I love the atmosphere here.  I do not love freezing every time someone exits and leaves the door open (It does not close by itself,…More »

I can't go here on a date.  I may very well start licking my plate clean and that's just not very pretty.  

Try the crab/catfish cakes or the blackened salmon.  Amazing.

Molly Moon's is proof that I have a hollow leg.

The first time I came to Molly Moon's I was torn between flavors. So, instead of choosing, I ordered a double scoop in a waffle cone. If you haven't been here, then that may not sound too wild, but if…More »

Some friends suggested that we venture to their hood  to meet for a drink at The Great Nabob. Having never heard of Nabob before, the name of the joint made me curious. On the drive over, I felt like we were on our way to meet the Wizard of Oz. I'm…More »

If I was going to rate The Chapel based solely upon its drinks, then I would have to give it 5 stars or maybe 8.  Seriously delicious.  I was looking forward to checking out The Chapel because it has a pretty cool history and inside it's really…More »

Wild Mountain Cafe has character.  The house turned cafe is cozy and the staff is top notch.

Caffe Vita coffee is pretty good anyway, but drinking it from a "Cranky Cup" mug or an "Alaskan Pride" mug made it taste that much better.  I want to go…More »

As a girl who still appreciates Easy Mac, I never thought I'd see the day that I'd pay $15 for some Mac & Cheese.  It may seem expensive, but that serving of Dungeness Crab Mac & Cheese could have fed a small family and man alive was it tasty.…More »

Boy howdy, I love this place.  We stopped at The Buck to grab a quick drink before we headed to karaoke on the hill, but after we had stopped at The Redwood and Lindas.  However, The Buck deserves to be much more than Point B between Point A and…More »
