It got a little loud by the time we left at 7:45 but since we usually dine on the earlier side it will not deter us from going back. So many choices that we might make it a monthly event!More infoUmi Sake HousePrice: Moderate• Japanese• Downtown•4.7
- FFrankChicago / Illinois •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely love this place. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the food and drinks are superb, so is the view and so is service (for the most part). I almost always order from the special or seasonal menu, and this time was no exception. Winter salad, scallops, special drink and espresso. The ingredients are simple but masterfully prepared. Sometimes difficult to get a reservation, so worth planning ahead. Highly recommend.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8
