Nice/Romantic Restaurants in Seattle?

Jak's in West Seattle Do take the advice on CitySearch re: quickness of service. They don't care if you have a linger but it might feel rushed if they don't know that is what you are in for. My favorite steaks in town.

Jak's is awesome. We usually hit up the Issaquah one. I don't know if the atmosphere qualifies as "romantic", compared to merely being a cool place to go. Maybe better suited for a nice birthday dinner, new job celebration, etc.

Best steaks around, and the UFO potato option is awesome.

Good god, no. Daniel's steaks are much better. I am not impressed with Jak's at all.

Then you've gotten a rare bad experience, or have an odd taste in steaks. Jak's is excellent, for a decent price. For romantic, I like Daniel's Leschi location. Six Seven is pretty darn nice too. Drinks are insanely overpriced.

I really like this place on Broadway - Bleu Bistro.

It's been a while since I lived in Seattle but the restaurants don't seem to have changed that much.

I like Tom Douglas a lot, Dahlia Lounge for a first date, Palace Kitchen after that.

El Gaucho's not really romantic, it's a super cool steak house but not for someone who doesn't like steak.

Mistral is a good pick. Flying Fish is kind of similar, a bit less fancy.

Marco's Supper Club is fun.

Yelp says Rover's or Herb Farm.

Again, agreed on Jaks. Maybe the locations differ or something, but the Issaquah one has always been awesome. I'd easily dare to say better steak than what I had at Delmonicos in Vegas (better sides at Delmonicos though), or Nine in Chicago. Less expensive as well.

Jak's reminds me of a fast food steak restaurant. No reservations, quick service, and a hurried meal. The steaks are decent, but I would rather pay another $20 for an El Gaucho steak and feel like I can take my time and enjoy my meal.

I also spent the evening vomiting after going to Jak's once a couple of years ago. My wife insists it was the Booker's, but I didn't drink enough to make me sick.

Geez, I must always hit Jak's at the right time. The only two times I remember time being an issue is when they took to LONG. Anyway, I stand by my original statement. I think Jak's steaks are just as good as El Gaucho's or the Met's, in any case, the cost/benefit definitely favors Jaks.

Seattle peeps,

Which of these are near Greenwood? What would you recommend for a casual/nice take a friend to dinner type place? $20-25ish entrees.



Thanks!

All,

A few of you PM'd/IM'd me recs, thanks. Ended up going to a place my friend knew about, Eva in "Tangletown."

Another link: Eva

We had the Cabrales Flan (OMFG SO GREAT) and I had the rabbit loin w/ chorizo bread pudding (SOSOSOSO DELICIOUS). Was excellent.

Entrees were in the $15-20 range. Very nice and reasonably priced wine list by the glass or bottle.

I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

I have never heard of that neighborhood referred to as Tangletown in my life. I must be tragically unhip.

I am pretty sure I could live on chorizo bread pudding the rest of my life though...god that sounds good.

Same here. Although I'm not sure how I would define that area.
