This is one of the best place I like chilling out with friends. Enjoy the cozy & relaxing atmosphere, good food and wine, delightful service. If you like pairing cheese & wine, you can’t miss this place. I once tried out several textures of cheese with my friends. I am definitely not a cheese-fans, but I enjoyed the experience!

What I like:
- dining @ the tables by the windows, looking out the 4th Ave and the building where I work :)
- high ceiling and spiral stairs
- portion and quality of food – just right for me!
- the educational menu (w/ wine terminologies)

What I wish:
- more selection in the menu

Enjoying high tea @ Peninsula was my dream when I was young. Dream came true in Chicago, yo :)

Can’t resist the elegance of the top-notch hotel!

Accompanied by a live string band, enjoyed the finger sandwiches, assorted pastries, scones with my choice of tea Tei Kwun Yin. Love the Macaroon there… hmmhmm ^. Guess my excitement show up on my face when the server checked in.. He offered us four more ^.~~

Specialty’s bakeries are fresh & irresistible. They are sOoOoO good that you will not remember how carb-conscious you are.

Location is excellent – surrounded by office buildings and shops. It is definitely a popular lunch spot in downtown Seattle + my team’s favorite destination for lunchbox & cookie platters :)

My top picks:
Roasted Veggie Breakfast Sandwich (available all day!!)
Turkey & Cranberry (like the Sesame Sourdough.. Yum~)
Hot BBQ Chicken (if I want something warm w/ meat)

This is definitely one of my favorite breakfast/lunch take-away spots in Seattle downtown area (on a nice sunny day). Perfect place for a quick & delightful bite at Pike Place Market!!

Shop is small – but selection is extensive! All kinds of Piroshky are displayed – every time… I have a tough time making my pick. Whether you are a veggie- or meat-lover, you will find something you’d enjoy. Also, the selection of sweet pastries is decent to satisfy your sweet tooth~~

So far every Piroshky I tried there is delicious: Smoked Salmon Pate (Seattle-visitors’ Must-try~~), Spinach Egg & Cheese (YUM!!), Smoked Mozzarella Broccoli & Mushroom (Yay!!).

I’d recommend this place – I’m still happy from my lunch break =)

Unforgettable dining experience in this fusion of Latin & Indian cruisines ^.~ Like the decor and food!

The selection of cocktails is awesome! Started off with a good portion of Lychee Martini & Blueberry Mojito. The presentation of the entrees – seafood stew and saag paneer – are cute and they taste yumyum too! I’ll definitely recommend this place.

Highly recommend for visitors!

Before you go, grap a visitor borchure “The Hancock Observatory”, which gives information about the buildings you are expecting to see.

Make reservation ahead if you dine in the restaurant – but window seating is NOT guarenteed!! The special request for a window seat will cost you another waiting hour even you get there on time!

Oh well.. Tourist-ie me walked back and forth the restaurant on the 95th/fl and the lounge on the 96th/fl, and take pictures. Time flied :)

Eventually we got a seat facing the Navy Pier (to the East). Not sure if the hour-long wait worths it :^^: If option is available, choose a table facing south, where you can see the perfect night view of Chicago downtown, including the world famous Sears tower!

Friends brought me to this Hawaiian fusion chain restaurant.. not bad at all!!

The menu offers a great selection of fish dishes – salmon, mahi mahi, butterfish, cod… I was recommended the Blackened Ahi Tuna, which is really delightful. Everyone enjoyed their picks.

We completed our experience there with two desserts – Pineapple upsidedown cake & Chocolate souffle. They are both delicious that I can’t vote for the best!
