Guidebook for Seattle
Food Scene
I ordered the BYOB burger with Tillamook cheddar and added bacon and tomato.
The burger was moist and juicy but without being a total sloppy mess like you get at some places. The buns they use are magic. Soft but with lightly crispy edges and hold everything nicely. The bacon was definitely worth the add-on price. I will say also that Heyday I think has perfected the size of a gourmet burger.

Recommended by several friends, this cozy restaurant gets the French bistro experience right. The flavors and presentation were very reminiscent of dining in Paris. The food was spectacular!

The atmosphere isn't sexy. At all. But who cares! Get plenty of the green sauce, it's the stuff dreams are made of! And the staff is sweet. Go there. Now.

This is definitely a Hidden Gem in the Rainier Valley area!! You would never know there is an Italian restaurant nestled in the back hills that has a cool view of the city down the block, great food and quaint atmosphere

Yeeeehaw, this place is a superb place for those who are vegetarian/vegan. For me, I normally love eating regular dishes with meat, but every time I go here, I always end up ordering from the vegetarian/vegan menu (the green version) over the regular dishes simply because of how delicious the food is.

The sweet potato fries were perfectly done & seasoned like someone really loved them!
The cheeky French toast was beautiful, and I can't wait to try all the stuffing flavors

Trendy spot, nice interior, huge selection of liquor. We had the plantain chips and guacamole as well as drinks. My wife ordered the sangria (had guava juice) and she really liked it. I had the beers on tap, Leavenworth Lager, an IPA, both all right.
The service was good and fast.
I would just say the tables are very close, so if you want an intimate affair or do not want to hear other people's conversations go somewhere else. Also this is not a bar where you can get by on Rainier or PBR, only finer drinks. No Happy Hour, no free beer nuts. No bartender to cry your shoulder on, just women working there who probably would not listen. This is a hip trending spot making a lot money.

Ba Bar is the perfect place for late night grub in Seattle. This upscale Vietnamese restaurant serves innovative cocktails and damn good Ph. Pro Tip: Ask for two Chinese donuts. These soft, fluffy pillows of carb-y goodness will change your life for the better.

Perfect. That's what this little cool joint is. Reminds me of this dive bar in Dallas named Louie's. Terrific food, great little bar with two TV's. The Happy Hour menu is ridiculously low priced with equally ridiculous large portions.

I definitely give this spot a 4 star mostly because of the cheap drinks and delicious French Fries. Order a round of $3 Bitburgers, share a basket, and grab a booth.

This is one of my favorite parks. It's never busy so it's a good place to come if you seek peace and quiet.
The view is amazing too.
There are plenty of parking and a cool 5 minute path that goes from the beach to the park if you want to take a walk.
