Everett, WA: L'Artisan - "cakes, breads, and pastries galore!"

2008-04-30T23:32:55-07:00

Review of L'Artisan at 11419 19th Ave SE, Everett, WA 98208-5117

There’s only two bakeries I go to in the states because I get spoiled by them in Taiwan (and am therefore picky); L’Artisan French Bakery is one of them. The shop is clean and bright and the presentation of the cakes, pastries, and breads makes you want to try them all! I have tri...

Olympia, WA: Mercato Ristorante - "Fabulous Italian in Olympia!"

2007-01-25T11:13:56-08:00

Review of Mercato Ristorante at 111 Market St Ne, Olympia, WA 98501-1008

by gem67:

Mercatos is the place to go for classy Italian in Olympia! They have the dark wood and dim lighting to set the mood. Their waitstaff give you ample time to study the menu before offering further explanations. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, their great-tasting food. I didn’t th...

Bellevue, WA: KOOTS Green Tea - "mmm matcha!"

2007-01-23T12:07:23-08:00

Review of KOOTS Green Tea at 700 Bellevue Way NE, Suite 100, Bellevue, WA 98004

by gem67:

I’m more of a tea-drinker than anything else (read: coffee) so I was pretty excited when I discovered KOOTS in Lincoln Square. The whole place has a calming effect due to its wood decor and the installation of a tatami mat space, which nearly transports me to t...

Seattle, WA: Shiro's - "japanese dishes you'd find in japan"

2006-12-17T13:12:33-08:00

Review of Shiro's at 2401 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121

by gem67:

Unlike Xuster before me, I had more hot dishes than sushi while dining at Shiro’s. In fact, the closest I came to sushi was the spicy tuna roll, which numbed my tongue (in a good way) whenever I popped one in my mouth. I also had their “poke”, which was tuna chunks topped w...

Seattle, WA: Maekawa Bar - "decent Japanese tapas restaurant in Seattle"

2006-12-10T19:15:56-08:00

Review of Maekawa Bar at 601 S King St, Seattle, WA 98104-2916

by gem67:

I’m such the brat. I think Maekawa is decent by Seattle’s standards but since I’ve been to izakayas in Japan, I give it a three-star. Our waitstaff was friendly but not as attentive as I would’ve liked. As for the food, some dishes are tastier than others but most we...

Mill Creek, WA: New Imperial Garden Restaurant - "it is what it is: dim sum in mill creek"

2006-12-03T15:13:54-08:00

Review of New Imperial Garden Restaurant at 16300 Mill Creek Blvd, Mill Creek, WA 98012

by gem67:

The New Imperial Garden used to be a well-established, high-end Chinese seafood restaurant. Now? A large-scale dim sum joint where the staff seem untrained and the food, mediocre at best. I’ve come here twice now and there always seems to be a list of distasteful service and/or dishes:...

Seattle, WA: Perche'no Pasta & Vino - "fabulous once again"

2006-11-27T11:46:34-08:00

Review of Perche'no Pasta & Vino at 1319 N 49th St, Seattle, WA 98103

by gem67:

I came back to Perche’no like I said I would. As expected, service was excellent (thanks Amelia) and food was tasty. We got the filet mignon appetizer to share, which was a special that night. The raw beef was thinly sliced and dressed in olive oil, lemon juice, and capers. Words can...

Redmond, WA: Than Brothers Restaurant - "Piping hot pho in Redmond!"

2006-11-15T20:18:24-08:00

Review of Than Brothers Restaurant at 7844 Leary Way Ne, Redmond, WA 98052

by gem67:

Nothing is better than a hot bowl of soup noodles on a rainy fall day in Seattle. Than Brothers not only provided a (spacious) safe haven from the gusting wind and rain, their pho warmed me from my fingers to my toes.At Than Brothers, the menu is simple and straightforward; you can cho...
