10134 Main Street
(425) 688-7613
A cozy and romantic Italian restaurant located in the heart of Olde Bellevue. Owned and operated by RaffaeleCalise from Ischia, Italy, he brings knowledge and experience to this replica of a Southern Italian Villa. He is a celebrated chef and is known for his specialty dishes. "He will make you a meal you can't refuse." / Thai Kitchen
14115 NE 20th Street
(425) 641-9166
Authentic Thai cuisine prepared as spicy as you dare. One could easily make a meal out of an appetizer ("Angel Wings" are excellent and substantial), soup (the coconut chicken soup is rich and rewarding), or one of the many creative salads; have them all in addition to an entree, and it becomes an inexpensive, adventurous feast.
Sushi-ten
2217 140th Avenue NE
(425) 643-6637
Every night of the week, twenty bucks gets you an all-you-can-eat sushi feast. Sushi chef Masashi Seki rolls, slices and arranges your favorites (tuna, yellowtail, the ubiquitous California roll) and keeps them coming till you drop. The small dining room (where you can order plump gyoza, lightly battered tempura and sparingly doused teriyaki chicken or salmon) is more conducive to leisurely conversation. / Daniel’s Broiler
10500 NE 8th Street
(425) 462-4662
Top of the Seafirst Building across from the Hyatt Hotel. Specializes in Steak & Pork Chops. A variety of seafood, poultry, pasta & salads. Although the menu offers other choices, Daniel's is a steakhouse. Beef is prime-grade and corn-fed, expertly cooked under an 1,800-degree broiler. The long wine list covers Northwest vintners especially well, and there are 22 choices available by the glass.

Kells
1916 Post Alley
(206) 728-1916
Just across the alley from the Pink Door restaurant sits this wonderful bare bones Irish pub. Food is hot and hearty--meat pies, leg of lamb, roasted chicken. On Friday nights they have a real Irish shillelagh band and pints of ale. / Wild Ginger
1401 3rd Avenue
(206) 623-4450
Park at the famous Satay Bar and watch as chefs take turns racing plump scallops over hot coals or charring bite-size hunks of marinated boar for a dip in sweet pineapple-peanut sauce. For the money, stools at the Satay are the best in the house. Soups should not be missed. Best are the tangy, layered, hot and sour soup with mint, and laksa (a coconut-based bouillabaisse buoying tender chunks of scallops and seafood). Among the entrees, the fragrant duck is the house specialty, though daily specials--like mango-braised pork--can be better bets.
Santa Fe Café
5910 Phinney Avenue N.
(206) 783-9755
This is New Mexican cooking with lots of hot red chilies and blue tortillas. Fun atmosphere. / Sea Garden Chinese Restaurant

McCormick’s Fish House and Bar
722 Fourth Avenue
(206) 682-3900
This Seattle landmark is tucked inside a historic building. Now encased in the base of the massive Columbia Center tower (tallest building west of the Mississippi). This place looks like a good seafood restaurant should; dark, wood paneled booths, white tablecloths, busy waiters. Both the food and the atmosphere are great. Reservations are suggested. / Space Needle Sky City
400 Broad Street
(206) 905-2100
Partake in the natural taste treasures of the Pacific Northwest. The freshest seafoods and finest aged meats are virtually reinvented through the skill and creativity of a world-class crew of chefs. Indulge yourself in Seattle’s unique dining experience as you rotate in 360 degrees of spectacular! Reservations are recommended. Valet parking is available. Dress code is business casual.
Waterfront
2801 Alaskan Way
(206) 956-9171
Water views surround. Waiters sport tuxedos. It's all a bit "Love Boat," but McCaffree's knack for seafood ensures the eats will impress beyond the trappings. Seafood steals the show: Understated delicacy penetrates the sesame seed-crusted sea bass, while a dramatic flair marks the Magnificent Flavor fried fish, which arrives whole, head and tail intact. Winning starters include meaty Thai crab cakes with basil-avocado aioli and salt-and-pepper prawns over sweet, spicy Asian slaw. Straying from seafood can be dicey. / Buca Di Beppo
701 9th Avenue N.
(206) 244-2288
Portions are not for the faint of heart--our eyes bulged upon the arrival of platters piled impossibly high with slabs of eggplant parmigiana and the baseball-sized meatballs on a mountain of spaghetti. A classic version of chicken Marsala impressed--tender chicken breast surrounded by giant mushrooms in a rich Marsala wine sauce. But, as with most of the fare here, we found the flavors bottled and predictable. Dessert? Are you kidding? If you're really going for it, a giant bowl of strawberries with lemon gelato, or a rich helping of tiramisu are pleasing finishes to a gargantuan meal.
Perche No
621 1/2 Queen Anne Avenue N
(206) 298-0230
Perche No's wide-ranging menu includes a selection of pastas and such notable specials as sauteed sweetbreads and porcini risotto. For dessert? An inventive chocolate and mascarpone "lasagna." The charm here isn't limited to the food; live opera or classical music is featured once a month, while piano players serenade diners every night of the week. / El Gaucho
2505 First Avenue
(206) 728-1337
Portions are large, prices high. Some steaks are better than others, but all are dry-aged Angus. The filet mignon, the Chateaubriand for two and especially the baseball-cut top sirloin (a nearly round hunk of meat) are fully satisfying. Start with the shrimp or the steamed mussels in balsamic cream sauce and don't skip salad; El Gaucho's version of the Caesar is tossed at the table in a deliberately entertaining fashion.
AssaggioRistorante
2010 4th Avenue
(206) 441-1399
“Good food and good wine are a way of life in Italy. As a restaurateur, I travel four times a year to Italy's wine regions searching for the perfect wines to complement Assaggio's menu. Each of these wines has been carefully chosen to bring a very Italian taste to your table. We invite you to experiment and taste these wines again and again. Of course, if you need a recommendation, you can trust my staff to assist you in choosing a wine. We hope you will join us soon at Assaggio.” / Cascadia Restaurant
2328 1st Avenue
(206) 448-8884
Sear serves only what he can procure in the Cascadia region, that lush area between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. He and his large staff turn this bounty into subtly flavored dishes with considerable finesse. Witness the air-dried duck with stuffed squash blossoms and warm peaches or seared halibut in chanterelle broth with chickweed. Not everything works to perfection, nor will this food suit everyone's appetite or dining-out budget. But, for sophisticated or venturesome palates, Cascadia provides a stream of mostly gratifying insights into the Northwest's astounding variety of foodstuffs.
