Salty's at Redondo is the precursor to the restaurant Salty's at Alki. You can get some of the most fabulous seafood entrees, including my favorite the seafood fettucine, served in a cream sauce filled with salmon, shellfish, and whitefish served over linguine. Their chicken and steak dinners are also done up in style. On a sunny day have your meal served on their deck surrounding the restaurant, you get a beautiful view of the Puget Sound. Elegant dining with a superior wait staff makes Salty's a must for those wishing for a truly great dining experience. They have a wine list with excellent selections. SAlty's at Redondo can be a bit pricey but a truly elegant restaurant cannot come cheap. It is worth the money for a dining experience like this.

Another of the Seatt;le areas foremost seafood establishments, Anthony's serves up very good seafood and pasta. Located on the waterfront in Des Moines, Wa. you have a nice view of the waterfront and not far from the docks at the Des Moines marina. Before or after dinner I suggest a walk to observe some of the fine craft berthed there. While Anthony's is a fine seafood restaaurant I do not believe it is as good as the prices reflect. Anthony's is a great p[lace for an evening out but costs a bit more than the food warrants. Nonetheless, give it a try, your opinion may differ from mine.

This Godfather's compares favorably to the rest of this chain of pizzarias in the Northwest. of particular notice is the all-you-can-eat buffet they have during the lunch hours. For a fair price you get an unlimited amount of pizza by the slice that you can choose with a variety of toppings, ranging from the ususal pepperoni, sausage, etc. to the combo style or maybe hawaiian. This brunch/buffett also includes desert pizza, a tasty variety of sweet, sugary toppings baked on pizza dough, and do not forget the salad bar which comes with avariety of extras to add to yur favorite salad (lettuce, spinach, etc.). Everpresent is the specials where you can buy a family size pizza for under twenty dollars or your choice of pizza, the toppings picked by you. Beer and wine is available and for the kids they have a multitude of video games to amuse them (this can be moe expensive than your dinner if you aren't careful. Great for a family afternoon or evening out.

Nothing exceptional here, just traditional cafe food somewhat bland and no remakable flavor to set itself aside from the mediocre. They offer a dining room serving steaks, some seafood(obviously frozen and at best second-rate). The atmosphere is lacking in taste and decor and the service can be surly and at its' best trying. No reccomendations from me. The odds of finding a better restaurant around the next corner are very good.

The food here can best be described as average. The steaks are mediocre as is the rest of the food. They serve an assortment of meals that are standard fare in many run-of-the-mill eateries. Their main business seems to be the bar, in which they have rock bands, and the food is secondary. Nothing here can be said to be any better than ok. This is not a place I would reccomend to actively seek out for dinner.

The food was good and the service was friendly and competent. They serve an array of burgers to dinner entrees including steaks, sandwiches, soups, and salads. The atmosphere is friendly, a step above your average diner. A good place to stop for an impromptu lunch or dinner. Not bad but not exciting. A competent restaurant.

Pizza Time serves up a very good pizza either in house ot to go (delivery is available for an extended area). It has a better than average pizza and I think it to be a step above some of the delivery pizza outlets. They use real cheese, a generous amount of sauce (often a problem with a lot of pizza servers). Their in house service is good, the wait time is reasonable and the surroundings pleasant. All in all Pizza Time compares favorably to any of the other pizza restaurants that I have visited. If you like pizza you won't be disappointed with this one.

I gave three stars to the M&M in large part to the rustic atmosphere. If anyplace can be said to personify Butte, Montana this is the place. They serve steaks and sandwiches, breakfasts in the morning, and a usual array of dishes that you would find at roadside cafe, not that the M&M is a roadside cafe. It is located in the heart of uptown Butte and has been there for many years. You can eat at the counter around the grill and watch the cook at work. This place is a mainstay for many Butte citizens. So if you are travelling through Montana, visit Butte and get a touch of what it was like in years past when Butte was a bustling, busy mining town. The history of this town is amazing. At one time the population exceeded one hundred thousand people, a hefty population back then. Try this place that personifies the western frontier, there is very little left to remind us of such heady times.

This is the place for chinese food. The Peking has been a Butte treasure for a long time. They serve great chinese food plus american also. You dine in a booth with drawn curtains for privacy, the atmosphere is as delicious as the food. Situated on the second floor (you walk up from the entrance on Main St.), it has an air of seediness to it that instead of detracting from the ambience it creates a mood of long ago when Butte was at its' high point during the gold rush days. It is rumored that in the layers below there is the remnants of an old opium den. Ask about it. This is a town of history and the Peking is reminder of that period.

The Shogun is a restaurant specializing in Japanese cuisine. Your dinner can be cooked at your table, a wok is placed there and a chef cuts and cooks the meat and vegetables right before your eyes. Watching their expertise with the knives is a sight to behold. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is equally so. There is a wide variety of itenms available including prawns, stir-fried vegetables, chicken, beef, and sushi. Drinks are aviailable in the inimitable Utah style (their liquor laws varying from what most visitors from out of state are used to). For an engaging and entertaining dinig experience I recommend this restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

George's is a greek restaurant, owned and operated by a native greek. Theyserve an abundance of greek dishes. You can get dolmades (one of my favorites), grape leaves stuffed with lamb, wonderful greek salads with feta cheese, greek olives. One of the best items is the pastitsio, a sort of Greek version of lasgna. it consists of spiced ground lamb layered with zita psta and two cream sauces (one light and the other heavy) then baked. A lot of preparation goes into this dish and will not disappoint the diner. Located in downtown Kirkland, stop in and try it.

An excellent wait staff, all from Mexico. The owners are also from Mexico and are long-time residents of Enumclaw also. They own a chain of similar named restaurants throughout the Seattle area but this location is their flagship.
The food is exceptionally good, served promptly no matter how busy it may get. They have the usual fare of most Mexican restaurants but prepared better than most. Their dishes range from steaks mexican-style to american, traditional entrees such as burritos, tacos, enchiladas, all done in a variety of styles from vegetarian to chicken and beef.
I prefer the dishes served en mole sauce, a bitter sweet sauce that gives each dish a tang to it that I find pleasing. They also have a kids menu featuring mexican style and hot dogs to hamburgers (you can also get hamburgers served up with a mexican flair).
They have a variety of drinks at the bar available at your table. They range from different types of margueritas and pina coladas to every other alcoholic drink that you can think of. They also serve a virgin (non-alcoholic) style of pina coladas and margueritas that are very popular with the younger clientele.
The Mazatlan has a loyal following from the Enumclaw area but also is a popular stop on the way to skiing at Crystal Mountain near Mt. Rainier. I suggest reservations ona weekend because they are very crowded with usually a backup crowd waiting to get a table.
Ask for Theresa Cardenas, the owner/manager cum hostess.
This is a very nice spot for those with a taste for Mexican.

Another of the typical chinese-american restaurants that abound thoughout the u.s. The cuisine is typical of most of the restaurants in this category, featuring such dishes as sweet and sour pork, chow yuk, pork in a batter served in a variety of sauces, a scattering of hot and spicy dishes usually designated szechan or mongolian (how hot can be varied according to your tastes). They also serve a small menu of steak and seafood done ala american including the everpresent hambuger with fries. One item stands out and that is the won ton soups available as an entree and their other noodle soups are tasty and filling and served in generous abundance. Great for a chinese food fix and the bar offers drinks for your pleasure. Not a great restaurant but fine for a relaxed evening out.

Big Daddy's is a classic burger joint serving the usual fare of burgers, fries, and shakes along with other items ordinarily served at an American burger palace. The food is average, the service fair, nothing here to outshine any other burger joint in this part of the country. One thing it does have that most places do not is that on the weekends local car enthusiasts bring in their classic cars that they have worked and slaved on and it provides a good show for those who wish to join in and for those who just want to look at the craftmanship used to produce these autos.

The most impressive thing about this restaurant is the amount of microbeers they have on tap and the varied flavors of margueritas. Other than that the food is average, although the ribs served weren't bad. Unfortunately, after ordering the entree you had to order side dishes seperately and the one's that I had were not very exceptional. It seems to cater to a young crowd (21-30), and the most frequently visited area is the bar. If you are a young person out for the night this may appeal to you. Not for the werious diner.

Primarily a steak and seafood house. The steaks were good, the seafood average. We went on a weekday night and the crowd was good but not confining with a short wait. From talking to the waiter I gather that the weekends are very crowded, apparrently a populat spot. A nice place to go for an unplanned dinner (reservations are generally required though) but I wouldn't pick this spot for a celebratory dining experience.

Definitely not the Ivar's of Seattle, but then Ivar's on the waterfront in Seattle has never been as good since they remodeled it years ago. This is a poor copy of the Ivar's that Seattleites have loved for years. The food was more like that of a fast food restaurant, the service (while not unfriendly) was lackluster like the wait persons would much rather be somewhere else (probably dining in another seafood restaurant). This is not a place I would pick to dine again, unless all the other restaurants in Spokane closed down. Even the french fries were bad.

This is the drive-in of my youth. All the varieties of hamburgers (with special sauce), fish and chips, french fries, milk shakes, soda, all for a reasonable price, open late for the deep-fried cravings and those out at night. For a quick meal on the way home or satisfying a late-night craving this is a good spot to go. With luck, on a weekend night, you maye even catch a fight between a couple of hotheaded young men. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic.

Overall one of the better mexican restaurants I have been to in the Auburn area. Located in a strip mall at the south end of Auburn Ave., tucked away near a Radio Shack store, this restaurant has good service, good food, and a deep-fried bread (sopapilla) that is one of the tastiest treats I have ben served in a mexican fare eatery. Served with honey this deep-fried specialty is the perfect complement to the dishes they serve. The entrees are comparable to just about any that you can find in a mexican-american restaurant but it is the friendliness of the wait staff and most definitely the sopapillas that will bring you back. Reasonably priced and comfortable atmosphere.

Salty's offers a magnificent view of downtown Seattle across the bay. At nightime the view is spectacular with the lights of the city shing across the sound. It features live jazz in the evenings, a great complement to the dining experience.
You can order live dungeness crab or Maine lobster from a tank in their lobby. The salmon is exquisite and they feature oysters and clams harvested from Northwest beaches. The steaks are top grade and they offer chicken and pasta dishes prepared wonderfully.
My favorite is the seafood pasta alfredo. Thick with scallops, salmon, white fish, and other delicasies served with a delicious sauce over pasta this dish is very rich and very pleasing.
For a special night out or just a an early dinner, for just about any occasion I reccomend Salty's to everyone. One catch, bring a well padded wallet or your credit card and be prepared to pay. It is worth it!
Did I mention the outdoor dining? On a nice day you cannot beat dining on their patio or deck.
