This is my own review of restaurants we stopped in at while visiting Seattle. I’ve listed them in order from favorite at the top–but I can’t even say down to least favorite. There really was no “least favorite”–everything was incredible! The opinions expressed here are in no way based on any iota of scientific data, they are purely my own opinions. They may also be slightly foggy depending on how many adult beverages I had had prior to each stop.
Casual Dining
Fisherman’s Restaurant: http://www.thefishermansrestaurant.com/index
- we went here for lunch
- incredible Clam Chowder and Prawn Cocktail
- amazing atmosphere under the Great Wheel
El Borracho: http://www.elborrachoseattle.com/
- Mexican taqueria we went to for lunch
- UNBELIEVEABLE Nachos–they were a work of art
Palace Kitchen: https://www.palacekitchen.com/
- we went here twice with the intentions of eating, but never actually ate
- I discovered Montucky Cold Snacks here thanks to our server
- this opinion is based mostly on the fact that they put baskets of pistachios on the table instead of peanuts and that our server gave us a huge bag to take with us
Fine Dining
Aqua by El Gaucho: http://elgaucho.com/dine/aqua/
- we went here for dinner
- beautiful atmosphere out on the deck overlooking the waterfront
- another photo worthy meal and my absolute favorite
- Sea Scallops AND dessert of traditional Crème Brulee
Cutter’s Crabhouse: http://www.cutterscrabhouse.com/
- we went here for Linner (late lunch/early dinner)
- had a seafood laden salad that was awesome
- can’t wait to go back here again and REALLY throw down
Margaux: https://www.margauxseattle.com/
- this was the restaurant at our hotel, The Warwick
- we actually ate breakfast and dinner here and checked out Happy Hour
- I had a delish Northwest Salmon dish that just makes me think Seattle
The Brooklyn: http://www.thebrooklyn.com/
- we stopped in for Happy Hour
- $2 Oysters! Fresh, caught out of the ocean just a few blocks away

Drinks
