Washington Wine SceneBurgundy, Bordeaux, Columbia Valley. What? Though it might seem that this is a game of “Which one does not belong”, this is not the case. The reality of it is these three wine growing regions are all located on the 46th parallel. Washington may not be the first region to be uttered by a wine connoisseur. The fact is, Washington’s yield of wine and grapes is second in the US only to California. According to the Economic Impact Study in 2006, Washington produced around 20 million gallons of wine from over 31,000 acres of vineyards.

Cafe Presse
In the gamut of dining experiences, I summarize success and failure by one simple criterion: whether I will or will not come back. The service may be lousy, the seating cramped, or the portions minuscule, but if I’m ultimately willing to return to any given establishment, then it earns a degree of credibility in my book. Come back or don’t; eating out is as simple as that…usually. 
Restaurants
Steelhead Diner
A quirky cross between a traditional ‘50s diner (but without any kitsch) and a trendy bistro (but without any pretension), Steelhead is a vibrant restaurant that reflects the vision of husband-and-wife team, Kevin and Terresa Davis. Together, they've created an inviting but decidedly cool restaurant that serves fresh interpretations of classic home-style comfort food. 
Restaurants
Oceanaire Seafood RoomThe Oceanaire’s concept is a 1930’s ocean liner dry-docked permanently at 7th and Olive, complete with oyster bar and vintage styling. Big-band music of the era is piped in, emulating the lost experience of sitting dockside on a sunset pleasure cruise around the bay, a horn section exciting the sea-goers and smiling waiters serving fresh-caught delicacies. 
Restaurants
Rover'sRover’s is a Seattle institution, no doubt about it. Located in Madison Park, the popular eatery has been serving seasonally inspired food since before the word “locavore” rolled off locals’ lips. Chef Thierry Rautureau bought the restaurant in 1987 and since then Rover’s has established a reputation as the place to go for a special romantic dinner, business deal or birthday celebration. How does Rover’s, having been around for so long, still manage to draw in consistent crowds for those momentous occasions? 
Restaurants
Pink DoorWalking down the stairway that leads to the Pink Door will make you feel like you've stumbled upon a quirky private party. The two-story dining room of this one-of-a- kind restaurant resembles the stage set for a charming haunted mansion, decorated with murals, ornate mirrors, mismatched silver candlesticks with dripping wax, and an elaborate chandelier. 
Restaurants
JouleHusband and wife owners Rachael Yang and Seif Chirchi have incredible culinary pedigrees, including Alain Ducasse and Per Se in New York and Coupage in Seattle. This small Wallingford restaurant, that blends Korean, French and American cuisines, is extraordinary yet slightly disappointing. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you love to explore cutting edge cuisine. 
Restaurants
Crow
Crow's seductive ambiance is a cross between a stark industrial warehouse and an artist's romantic loft. Low lighting and gauzy curtains create a visual counterpoint to the restaurant's minimal décor and cement walls, which are painted in a palette of rich colors. Despite its noisy buzz, Crow is an inviting neighborhood hangout (kid noodles are on the menu) yet intimate enough for a special occasion. 
Restaurants
Squid and InkCulturally and aesthetically Squid and Ink maintains the contemporary vegan ethos of sustainability—the new generation of food politics evolving from the vegetarian movement of the sixties. With photocopied menus, dynamic color schemes and lots of artwork adorning the restaurant it has that cozy, hipster feeling. |
