the food is typical mexican. it's decent if you're in the area and want mexican food but i wouldn't go out of the way for it.

some people love this place but i honestly don't understand it. it's like tgifridays for mexican food - too much "flare" and not enough substance. to each their own.

this place is close to home so it's frequently visited. the food is better than average for american mexican restaurants and the margaritas are great. plus they've got a decent happy hour. if you're ever in greenlake and need a quick mexican fix, this is the place.

pietro's!!! i've never been to this actual location but i grew up going to pietro's and have many fond memories. it's a fun place for groups, and one of the last places that served green river.

i suppose you might have the inclination to gorge yourself on massive amounts of greasy buffet food, but i'm not sure why. i'd avoid this place like the plague.

this place does have some tasty food, but i wouldn't necessarily go there for the ribs. there are many more authentic bbq places around, but this isn't bad for a commercialized substitute. it's good for groups so everyone can find something they like.

subs is pretty good. the food is heartier and less commercialized than subway. the sandwiches are pretty good, but not great. it's a quick and easy lunch stop.

this place is simply awesome. the staff is extremely knowledgeable about the extravagent menu. their happy hour is about all i can afford, but it's well worth it. the oyster bar is good. the brooklyn is definitely in the upper echelon of seattle's fine-dining options.

the chowders are great. it's a classic seattle dining institution, much like dick's. ivar's however offers quality food and a better atmosphere (it's not hard to beat a parking lot). definitely check it out if you've never been.

this place may be an icon, but that doesn't necessarily make it good. it's amazingly greasy - to the point of making you feel ill after attempting to consume almost anything on their menu. i don't think i'll ever have the inclination to return.

this is a great late-night escape after a night out. do they even close? the food is good. the dimsum is also good, but i'd avoid the chicken feet. of course that's just a personal preference. i've been told they are good for those that are into that sort of thing.

if you want a phenomenal dining experience and money is not an issue, this is the place. the service is great. the food is spectacular. the wines are exceptional. if you just want to pop in and check out the atmosphere, try the cigar bar.

i seem to hear a fair amount of "buzz" around wasabi bistro, but the place hasn't lived up to the hype. i've been there a few times and have never found the service or food to be exceptional. the atmosphere and decor are the best parts of this restaurant.

this place has good food, attentive service, and exceptionally quick delivery of your order. i've only been there once, but my friend who goes there often said it's always like that. i'd definitely go back again.

i had several people tell me this was the best thai food they'd ever had. i tried it but wasn't that impressed. maybe it was just bad timing.

this is a great place to take large groups. it's kind of fun and quaint, in a sort of americanized-italian way. the food is only average, but at least it's filling.

it's another in a long line of annoying american chains. the "flair" in this place is off the charts. the service is adequate, but delivery is comically slow. i doubt i'll return unless i get gift certificates or someone else takes me there.

this place has crazy german imports! it's worth checking out purely for the cultural experience, much less the food.

this place used to be AWESOME back in the day. everything was delicious. you never knew whether or not they were going to be open. <br> then they got all serious and did a major renovation/expansion. i've been back and the food is still good, but it's just not the same. regardless, it's one of the better thai options in tacoma.

people rave about this place, and for good reason. the menu is composed of tasty, if unusual, creations. it's more expensive than a normal dinner place, but well worth it. check it out the next time you want to surprise or impress someone.
