[edit] Fine Dining

Seattle is generally not as formal a city as say New York City, or Chicago, but that doesn't mean you can't find top notch restaurants. Here are a few local favorites:

1. The Metropolitan Grill The Metropolitan Grill offers, for Seattle, an unusual window into the past, when red meat, martinis, and dark oak was the sign of fine dining. If you're in a meat and potatoes but better than the Sizzler kind of mood, then the Metropolitan Grill is your place. The entrée range is from $17.95-$42.95, so expect to spend at least $100.00.

2. Wild Ginger The diametrical opposite of the Metropolitan Grill is Wild Ginger, a chic ultra-contemporary Asian food and Satay bar. The owners traveled extensively trhough the Pacif Rim countries of Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others to develop the menu. They've done such a good job that Wild Ginger consitently is on the list of Seattle's best and most popular restaurants.

3. Salty's on Alki Salty's is the ultimate date restaurant. Situated directly across from downtown in West Seattle, there is no dining establishment with a better view of the city during the evening. Absolutely make sure that you get a seat by the window if you go. Salty's specializes in seafood, with a great variety of both salt and fresh water fish. Especially good is the Dungeness crab, the pan-seared halibut, and anything with salmon. Salty's is pricey, but well worth the money. One downside is that it's a bit out of the way if you're staying downtown, but again it's worth it.

[edit] Moderately Priced Restaurants

1. Mitchelli's For great Italian cuisine in the heart of downtown with reasonable prices, you simply can't beat Mitchelli's. Located in the heart of downtown's Pioneer Square, Mitchelli's is a local favorite, and listed as one of Seattle's best restaurants in 2006. Dinner prices range from $8-12, with a very wide range of interesting Italian dishes. If you're watching your intake of carbs, you have the choice of light portions. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable with plenty of character, as the restaurant is set in one of the old brick buildings of downtown Seattle. If you happen to close down the bars in downtown, Mitchelli's is the best place to get a meal, as it's open until 4AM on Fridays and Saturdays.
