Description:
DOWNTOWN. The downtown crowd has plenty to choose from when it comes to restaurants, but the options narrow when the subject of "the best oysters in town" is broached. This Seattle standby holds its own in the face of myriad newbies that have popped up over the years. Clubby and suave in an old-fashioned way, Shuckers takes oysters seriously, whether steamed, pan-fried, or just plain raw. For those who don't dig shucking, options like beer-battered fish and chips, seared ahi tuna with wasabi salad, fried calamari, and the signature Northwest seafood chowder are wise bets. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Some would say that this restaurant, accented with crystal chandeliers, potted palms, and rich fabrics, is Seattle's grandest. From elegant decor to fine Northwest cuisine, the establishment is sublime. A well-trained, knowledgeable staff serves beautifully-presented dishes, such as eggs benedict, lemon-ricotta pancakes, NY steak and eggs, smoked salmon omelet, and orange French toast. Impress important clients with an early-morning breakfast meeting and usher in the day with a superb meal too. Although the experience is pricey, it's ideal for special occasions and expense accounts. |

DOWNTOWN. The Hotel Monaco in downtown Seattle is really heating up, thanks in part to chef Jan Birnbaum, the driving force behind Sazerac. The fashionable restaurant serves spicy, Cajun-inspired New American cuisine, including golden hush puppies served with warm molasses, Creole shrimp cakes, black mussels with cumin butter sauce, and braised beef served with a gorgonzola potato creation. Modern, amusing interiors make this a must on your restaurant list. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. At the upscale Gelatiamo ice cream parlor, located downtown, patrons can enjoy Old Country pastries along with potent espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes. Stop in around noon, and you'll be able to savor a hot panini prior to your favorite sugar-dusted treat. Of course, the wise choice is always a few scoops of their gelato, a dense Italian-style ice cream that's nothing short of addictive. In particular, the frutti di bosco (mixed fruit) and classic "cioccolato" (chocolate) earn high marks. |

DOWNTOWN. As popular a bar as it is a seafood restaurant, this neighborhood eatery is regularly filled with patrons.

Over 25 fresh catches are available, and whole lobster is a constant bargain. M&S also has one of the best oyster stews in the city, along with icy martinis and a great wine list. |
