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. |

Description:
BELLTOWN. True to its handle, this waterfront establishment serves views of bustling Elliott Bay along with its oysters – more than 30 varieties. From the outside, Elliott's looks like little more than a shack, but the interior is cozy enough to accommodate lots of folks, especially if a laid-back, casual meal is on the slate. If you're on your own, sidle up to the 21-foot oyster bar for convivial dining. Menu highlights include the aforementioned oysters (prepared just about any way imaginable), crab, lobster, and more. Excellent wine list, too. |

Description:
BELLTOWN. High ceilings, expansive windows, and an abundant use of cherry wood create a clean-lined, warm space that perfectly complements the cuisine, a tribute to the Northwest's bounty. The restaurant's name refers to the area between the Cascades and the Pacific, from Canada to California – they use only local foods from this area. A "rain window" separates the dining room from the kitchen, adding flair to the already-interesting space. Intriguing dishes include green curry rubbed rack of lamb and ahi tuna poached in olive bouillon. There's even a fun kids menu. |

Description:
MAGNOLIA. This restaurant, with its island accents and Polynesian-tinged menu, is a great place to applaud a promotion, celebrate an anniversary, or treat yourself. Views of the city and Puget Sound draw your attention, but the menu has a seductive appeal too. Its emphasis on Northwest cuisine is especially apparent in seafood. Large king crab legs are served on a cedar plank, as is salmon and a number of other entrées. Grilled prawns, Dungeness crab cakes, tuna, and mahi mahi are also among the options you'll agonize over. The creamy seafood chowder is an event in itself – make sure to try it. |

GREEN LAKE. At this modest establishment, the owner-chef offers North American fare like grilled swordfish with couscous and braised lamb with mascarpone polenta.

An excellent and eclectic wine list, relaxed and professional service, and reasonable prices make Eva a great "any day" restaurant, though it feels like a special occasion one! Ideal for a first date. |
