Barb’s 40th Birthday – Redo
This weekend, my friend Barb turned 40… Again 😉 The stars came out and hung a giant, full moon for her birthday party, as we sipped our drinks under twinkle lights strung from a Parisian street lamp at Bastille in Ballard. We noshed on good food Enjoyed great company As the sky continued to darken […]
Sonrisa Modern Mex, Seattle
UPDATE: unfortunately, Sonrisa Modern Mex has closed. Sonrisa Modern Mex is a relatively new addition to the University Village. The outdoor dining area is complimented by a sitting area with oversized chairs and an outdoor fireplace. We found the flickering of the interior fireplaces rather inviting as we were walking along outside in the cold. […]
Eastlake Bar & Grill, Seattle
This morning we took a walk down Eastlake Avenue and stopped for lunch at Eastlake Bar and Grill. I’ve been wanting to check out this place for quite a while. The deck sprawls around the exterior of the building, taking advantage of every inch of view; there is a rooftop lounge as well. We were […]
Fish Tacos at Aguas Verdes
Fish Tacos at Aguas Verdes, originally uploaded by coffeejitters. On the south end of Seattle’s U-District sits a little lakeside cabin that houses the Agua Verde Cafe and Paddle Club. The cafe menu is short and simple: Mexican food made with fresh, healthy ingredients. Fresh house-made juices, such as the watermelon juice, taste like summer. […]
Dahlia Lounge
This afternoon when I was visiting Grandma, I told her Aaron and I were planning to go to the Dahlia Lounge for the first time. She said, “have the pie.” When Grandma tells you to try someone else’s pie, take notice. She knows pie. So we’re not rich and I’m trying to lose weight – […]
Zephyr Grill & Bar, Kent
The most recent addition to the new Kent Station , Zephyr Grill & Bar is easily the nicest restaurant in Kent. Taupe walls, dark wood booths topped with sculpted glass, elegant lighting, and white fabric napkins (yes, in Kent that’s a step up) all add up to a nice ambiance, with a skilled wait-staff and […]
Bamiyan Afghani Restaurant
After the waterfall we had to decide what to do for dinner. I would have loved to try the Salish Lodge; we stopped and checked out the menu, but frankly I was not inspired. When plates start at $23, the description on the menu should make my mouth water. We decided to head towards Issaquah […]
Chihuahua’s Restaurant and Cantina, Auburn
I got out of class early tonight and on the way back home, Mr. H and I were both trying to think of ways to get out of preparing dinner. Then Mr. H confessed that he got paid today – and we veered left into the parkinglot for Chihuahuas. We live near Chihuahuas – and […]
Caspian Grill: Dinner with In-Laws
Mr. H and I had dinner with his mother and sister tonight. This probably doesn’t happen as often as it should as we only live a few miles away from each other. Dinner went well and we introduced the inlaws to one of our favorite restaurants. The Caspian Grill is on the Ave just north […]
