agree w everything above. would add basically all the ethan stowell places (tavolata, how to cook a wolf), and many of the renee erickson places (boat street café, walrus & carpenter.) quinn's gastropub on pike for their seared foie gras. unbeatable in all the puget sound, including barking frog. cannot give away my favorite hole-in-the-wall/cash-only sashimi place. but will tell you for very high end, fancy sushi worth every penny- japonessa. for more relaxed, casual environment with fancy food and truly mind-blowing wine list... try purple café & wine bar.
Pink door😇 I’d kill for their dessert 🤤❤️
