Metropolitan
Grill 820 2nd Avenue Seattle, WA · 206.624.3287 · http://www.themetropolitangrill.com Price Range: $17.95 - $45 Don and I haven't eaten here yet, but this place comes highly recommended and is known for having the best steaks in Seattle, and perhaps the country. Celebrities often stop here when coming to Seattle. Dress is casual elegance. |

Red
Robin 1101 Alaskan Way / Pier 55 Seattle, WA · 206.623.1942 · http://www.redrobin.com Price Range: $6.00 - $15.00 This is one of Don's favorite places to eat, and luckily, it's very inexpensive. They serve a wide range of hamburgers, from the Whiskey River BBQ Burger to the Pot Roast Burger. For people, like myself, who don't care much for hamburgers, they also have a wide variety of entrees. My favorite is the caesar chicken wrap. Great place to take kids! |

India
Express Restaurant 510 Broadway East Seattle, WA · 206.324.9449 Price Range: Around $7-10 an entree Don
and I haven't eaten at this Indian Restaurant in particular, but it got
good reviews on Seattle City Search. If you come out to Seattle, you must
try the Indian food as it is delicious. The best time to visit is during
lunch for an all you can eat lunch buffet. |

Crab
Pot 1301 Alaskan Way, Pier 57 Seattle, WA · 206.624.1890 · http://www.pier57seattle.com/restaurants.html Price Range: $9.00 - $35.00 This is a really fun place to eat if you enjoy seafood. One of the best ways to enjoy the Crab Pot is to order a 'Seafest', which, depending on the price, includes potatoes, three types of crab, mussels, clams, oysters, fish, and more. This meal comes in a bucket, and is dumped onto the table - one of the most fun ways to eat seafood. They also have regular entrees as well.

Spazzo
Mediterranean Grill 10655 NE 4th Bellevue, WA · 425.454.8255 · http://schwartzbros.com/spazzo.cfm Price Range: Tapas: $4 - $8; entrees: $13 - $26 Don and I are partial to this restaurant,
and it also happens to be where we got engaged. If you go, try to get a
table at sunset and request one with a view of downtown Seattle. The food
is also excellent, and they have a wide range of tapas and entrees to
choose from. They have flaming cheese, what more could you want? Make sure
to try the Sangria! |

Waterfront
Seafood Grill 2801 Alaskan Way, Pier 70 Seattle, WA · 206.956.9171 · http://www.elgaucho.com/waterfrontpier70/ Price Range: $19.95 - $79.95 Enjoy fresh, delicious seafood while
enjoying awesome views of Puget Sound. Be sure to request a table
outdoors. Besides seafood, there is also really great steak. For dessert,
you must try the chocolate paradise and the banana crepes. |

Cold
Stone Creamery 624 N. 34th Street Seattle, WA · 206.547.3200 · http://www.coldstonecreamery.com If you want a treat, this is certainly the place to go. First you choose your ice cream flavor, and then you can choose mix-ins, which are added directly into the ice cream. Examples of mix-ins include: gummi-bears, heath bar, and oreos. My personal favorite is coffee ice cream, caramel, almonds, and heath bar. They are located all around the Seattle area. |
