Hi all,

I am heading to Seattle with my gf on feb 14th, and I am wondering if there is any nice resturants near Alderwood mall or the premium outlet. Thank you so much

[Ch28]

Both of those places are nowhere near Seattle.

[EmOne]

check out redmill burgers just a lil north of seattle.

Looked like pretty epic burgers, havent tried. But man v. food did an episode on it, and it looked really good.

[miss_crayon]

if youre there early enough go to saltys for brunch!

[bd0n]

salumi!

[godwin]

Any of Tom Douglas' restaurants http://tomdouglas.com/

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

jack in the box and carlos junior? lol


:haha:

[Groot]

eat at the casino =P

[Senna4ever]

My favourite place in Seattle is The Salmon House, but you need to take a refresher course in geography, dude.

There was an RS member who used to be a regular on the boards, Lorna (I can't remember her screen name) who opened a restaurant in Seattle, and it got really good reviews. If anyone knows, please let me know - I only have her now dead Vancouver cell#.

[Marioo1991]

if you like seafood check out the crab pot, the gf loved it.

[skholla]

Depends on your taste but to me there is nothing at the outlet, in alderwood mall there is a pf changs and a blue c sushi. If you want a real treat and awesome food then drive a little further and go to downtown Seattle. Hit up restaurant row and have your pick of yummy spots. Check out one of thom douglas' spots, his restaurants are amazing, you can't go wrong with any of them. From baked goods and pizza pies to home made doughnuts and wicked cocktails. The best traditional breakfast to mediterranean food, and his signature crab cakes to fine dining.... http://tomdouglas.com/

love crabpot too.
the second highest combo is the best one imo! $35 or $30 I think.

the found the buffet food in the tulalip casino was pretty good for a buffet.

[Slif]

She didn't open a restaurant (in the traditional sense), but writes for Seattle Magazine now. Her blog Cookbook Chronicles (http://www.thecookbookchronicles.com/blog/)

Kinda late now but the casino and Lynnwood are pits of despair for food. You have to drive another half hour south to SEATTLE to get the good stuff

That's great. Good for her. She offered a lot of insightful posts when she was on RS. It's a shame that she's no longer around anymore.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

casino buffet aint bad

[TRDood]

going there this weekend

thinking about Morton's but reviews seem like it's just like another hy's. we prefer the Gotham atmosphere better.

anything else? gf not a big fan of seafood

[skholla]

Meh... I'm not a fan of Gotham (partly due to heir Keg relation) but love Mortons. Hit up their mailing list and see when the next two can dine for $xx is, it's a great value. Honestly I don't go to steak houses any more, I just pick up some aaa prime beef and pan sear and broil my self. For the price on a meal out for one I can feed four at home, I'd rather spend my money on other fine dining, French, italian, Japanese, west coast, etc... But if you really want a good steak check out Daniels Broiler, awesome Washington based steak house. There's also a ruth's chris although I have never been.

Do check out Purple Cafe, an awesome wine oriented restaurant (try the lobster and gruyere mac and cheese), and Dahlia Lounge, Tom Douglas' flagship joint.

how much are casino buffet in the states compared to the $20 that we pay here?

[GomGom]

Thai: Chaiyo Thai Cuisine
http://www.yelp.com/biz/chaiyo-thai-cuisine-seattle-2

Indonesian: Indo Cafe
http://www.myindocafe.com/

Both of them are in Northgate and thumbs up for them.

[orange7]

since you're going to the state, you just eat seafood.

much worth it there.

[hirevtuner]

red lobster or cheesecake factory

[MelonBoy]

ops posted on wrong thread
(runs for cover from raining fails T_T)

[Greenstoner]

if you going to premium outlet and u should go olive garden

their food is yummy and very filling ...

price is around 20 per person.... basically same as eating buffet in casino but i found eating at olive garden is more satisfied

[noTirl]

tried Voulas last time i went down
http://voulasoffshore.com/

going down again this friday and prob gonna hit up the casino buffet to try and bizzarro
http://www.bizzarroitaliancafe.com/

[Farfetched]

olive garden is pretty close to disgusting.

[skholla]

Smh... If you want real food then get in your car and drive 30 mins to Seattle. Go big chain like cheesecake factory or of changs or go small restaurant. Hit 4th ave towards belltown and hit up restaurant row, all the good places are there. Take a look at my previous recommendations, there are a ton of great places to eat in Seattle. Also you can never go wrong with any Tom Douglas restaurant, hmmmm chantrelle mushroom and truffle cheese pizza at serious pie, yummy!!!

Rofl... Olive garden

I think it was called Cache or something? I think it was just a temp. thing.

^i would never ask a customs officer for advice on stuff to do.
just tell them what you're doing, get waved through and gtfo there

I haven't been myself but try The Lunchbox Laboratory (http://www.lunchboxlaboratory.com/)

Blue Fin for sushi buffet, and Cheesecake Factory for their cheesecake! Yum.

Best pizzas in Vancouver or Seattle :bowdown:

[Spoon]

olive garden is pretty close to disgusting.

made the mistake of going there once. had to chug so much water on the drive back cause the food was loaded with msg.

cheesecake factory is pretty good for a large chain.

[skholla]

Blue C Sushi is fun and yummy.

The only place I had pizza better than Serious Pie was in Brooklyn.

[sh0n]

+1 for Cheesecake always solid.

For decent viet I always go to Green Leaf Viet in Old Chinatown in Seattle.

Their duck noodles is awesome. And their summer rolls (with the pork + shrimp) are good and different. They have this special crunch in it - the secret is a deep fried rice wrapper.

[Obsideon]

+1 for Serious Pie, been there twice already and both times were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
I haven't tried the other Tom Douglas resturants but if they are anything of the quality that Serious Pie churns out then I'm sure they won't disappoint!

[6793026]

I haven't been myself but try The Lunchbox Laboratory (http://www.lunchboxlaboratory.com/)

i'll be going there very soon.

The outlet ONCE you pass the border, it's close to empty but ti's newly reno-ed. There's a jack in the box, but if you go there, SKIP the jack in the box and head to the place beside it, it's called Bob's burgers, you can have a 8 oz steak, 2 eggs, hashbrowns breakfast for 12.99. I had to share it with someone it was that good.

sure beats jack in the box.

[pastarocket]

Paseo serves some of the best sandwiches in Seattle.

[Santofu]

Hey guys,
Sorry for the bump, I didn't want to make a new thread...
So I'm going to Seattle with a bunch of friends next week...
Where are the good places to eat near Bellevue, Seattle, and possibly Lynnwood?
TIA

[unit]

i really enjoyed my time at steelhead diner in downtown.
staff was amazing, food matched up.

[busdriverman]

i really like the cheesecake factory

never fails to impress

[dignatas]

why is crab pots 2nd most expensive option better than the first?

[bigzz786786]

ruth's chris steakhouse, best one is in bellevue

they have a classics menue, $40 or $50 depending on which you choose (few options)

you get a soup or salad to start, and entree, a side for your entree, and dessert

i love the fillet (steak) but there are toppings for it, the oscar is the best but its an extra 15 dollars

[unit]

its not... you get king crab with the expensive option.

[Culture_Vulture]

I see somebody is heading down to PAX :troll:
But anyways, +1 for Cheesecake Factory, for a restaurant that people analogize to The Keg, it makes The Keg look like a shit shack.

[WHEYsted]

^ They're on the same level bro except the keg at least has a bit more "class" lol. Nothing special at the cheesecake factory just good food and VERY good cheesecake.

[Lude2000]

Anyone know of good steakhouse restaurants in Seattle? I'm thinking about Morton's Steakhouse, but I was just wondering about other options.

Thanks.

[6793026]

i went to bravehorse traven.

oven smoked pretzels is their famous thing. their pub is totally awesome.

[ChaKo]

very good cheesecake, with very in all caps, is nothing special?

[dignatas]

very good cheesecake, with very in all caps, is nothing special?

people don't go there to just eat cheese cake. I rather have cheesecake factory than the keg in canada :/ more choices and variety

[skholla]

Daniels broiler is great, also Ruths Chris and the Metropolitan Grill.

While not a steakhouse, Purple Cafe and wine bar has amazing food and a pretty good steak.

[skholla]

I still dont get the "nothing special" comment about the cheesecake factory... Is the food good, yes. Cheesecake good, yes. Big place, lots or tables but still has lineups, yes. Good prices for the quality, big portions, yes. Cool decor, and a very busy take out area, yes.

... All yesses here. There's no way that I would eat at the keg over cheesecakes. Yes the keg has good primerib but that's about it. Cheesecake is awesome and is what a big chain restaurant should be like. Forget cactus and earls, they don't have hotties working at cheesecake but it's still packed, what does that tell you? ... Nothing special right?

Bellevue square is one of my favorite places to shop and stay. Park you car and walk 5 mins in any direction to find great food... PF changs, purple cafe, Daniels broiler, cheesecake factory, milestones & cactus, and others.

There's also a bowling alley, movie theatre, grocery stores (sell beer and wine), lounges and a night club.

Explore some more and you will see cheesecake factory is only subpar. It's cheap and have large portions but thats about it.

[skholla]

I love food and have explored a lot of food around the world, from street vendors to Michelin star awarded restaurants. But still for a casual meal I enjoy Cheesecake Factory. Seattle does have some great restaurants, from Etta's to Dahlia Lounge, and Salumi to the Metropolitan Grill, check my other posts and you will know what I mean.

[Lude2000]

Daniels broiler is great, also Ruths Chris and the Metropolitan Grill.


Thanks skholla. Based on reviews, all 3 sound very good. Will definitely try one of those.

[ilvtofu]

I went to metropolitan grill with my parents last year, it was a pretty good experience overall

[Culture_Vulture]

^ They're on the same level bro except the keg at least has a bit more "class" lol. Nothing special at the cheesecake factory just good food and VERY good cheesecake.
I disagree. Isn't the point of fine dining GOOD food?

Anybody can cook a steak. That is, anybody but an inexperienced, untrained line chef the hiring manager at The Keg hired fresh out of high school with no passion for culinary arts whatsoever.

On that same token, anybody in a suit and a tie with a little bit of learning on the job can become a good server. So if we're talking about restaurants that belong on the same level playing field, The Keg is way over its head if it thinks it's in the same league as The Cheesecake Factory.

[JasonShen0104]

todai! sushi all u can eat has everything!! most awesome rest. ever!!!

[AWDTurboLuvr]

I would recommend Le Pichet and Wasabi Grill in Seattle.

[turbomelon]

I would recommend John Howie's Steakhouse at the Bravern in Bellevue. Australian A5 Wagyu and Kurobuta Tempura Bacon. Their Wedge salad was good too haha..

Korean Ho Soon Yi is pretty good... as for cheesecakes, Pikes Place Market "The Confectional".

[HondaGuy]

Forget the exact name lol... But its the Thai food resraurant located on top floor of Pike Place Mall downtown seattle.
The tower is connected next to Nordstrom so easy to find.

Great thai food, satays are tasty and sample platter.
Good atmosphere and service, price is fair.

Convenient during shopping.

i went to 2 tom douglas restaurant now. Serious pie was full and it was just wood oven pizza so we didn't go, but went to next door which is the Delia and it was great. The seafood sampler was ok, (the king crab sampler was the best), the king crab cake wasn't as flavourful / fresh as i wanted it to be. the fresh donut there was simply amazing!

[skholla]

Crab cakes at dahlia are amazing! Don't pass on serious pie, outside of brooklyn they have some of the best pizza I have ever had... Hmmm wild mushroom and truffle cheese!
