Brad D: Arguably the best steak in town. Love the old school charm.
Mazda: Seattle’s original El Gaucho was part speak-easy and part Hunt’s breakfast club. That was 1953 and it was run by Jim Ward. By 1985 that era had come to end.
Allie Caudle: Location Location Location! Palisade has it all from the views of Elliott Bay, seafood selections, and attentive service. If you love crab, try their Dungeness Crab Cakes. You'll be glad you did!

Hope Allen: If God had to stay at a hotel in Seattle, he'd stay here.
Seattle's Goof: Ask the concierge where Local 360 restaurant is located... Best $10 taxi ride (or walk to Belltown). This is a sustainable restaurant that takes its name literally with its local approach on ingreds
Abe Schmidt: The Corpse Reviver No2 is the best drink I've had in Seattle. The junipered gin drinks here are beautifully memorable.
Thrillist: The crew behind Von's has transformed the former Wolfgang Puck's/Ipanema space into a glossy bastion of booziness on Harbor Steps where, in keeping with their name, they've got over 1000 spirits. Read more.
Rob Meyer: Don't sit under the barrels. They drip. And they drip too slow to get buzzed of off, even if you put the glass in the right spot.

Sophie Revere: The menu is exceptional and rotates frequently. Current favorites: shishito peppers, butternut squash risotto, water buffalo burger, and pine nut caramel tart - the rosemary whipped cream is heavenly.
