#1697 #S1012 - TRACE, Seattle, WA - 3/12/2012
It is fairly swanky, as you would expect, and it serves fairly good cocktails, with fairly good food, on the slightly pricey end of the scale.

#1695 #S1011 - Empire Lounge, Seattle, WA - 3/8/2012
Among the many exciting changes in this place since it was the Copper Cart are ..... er .... um .....
The place says that it is "the ultimate in a sophisticated music lounge. With its modern, sophisticated furnishings complemented by multiple billiard tables, HD projectors and plasma TVs. [sic]."

#1694 #S1010 - Mestizo Tequila Ultra Lounge, Seattle, WA - 3/8/2012
There are many parts of Mestizo that make a good first impression. There's some interesting art and decor from Mexico, there's the view of the sound, a fireplace, a water feature. And our bartender was an attractive and friendly marine biologist named Gretchen. There are 200 types of tequila to choose from, and a changing menu from across Latin America -- Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.
Neither the food nor the cocktails that we had were particularly outstanding, and it does not yet seem to be attracking a lot of customers. But it's clear the owners have put a lot of thought into it, so you would like to see it succeed.

#1693 #S1009 - Fresh Bistro, Seattle, WA - 3/6/2012
Fresh Bistro is a new-ish (2009) restaurant from the well regarded catering people at Herban Feast. It has an emphasis on local and organic ingredients, serves quite good food, and some fairly good cocktails in bar of a few seats. I had an Orange Fitzgerald (house infused old Fitzgerald bourbon, Drambouis, Montenegro, orange bitters).

#1692 #S1008 - Skelly and the Bean, Seattle, WA - 2/29/2012
You want to like Skelly and the Bean. It has charming stories behind its name and its financing, it was furnished and redecorated with the help of other chefs and supporters, including wood from an old Montana barn and a cigarette burned table from the Soundgarden guys. And it has a generous program hosting promising new chefs.
But the food was quite inconsistent for our group. The Maud's Burgers were dry and overcooked, and the "Petit Paquets" seemed no different than well-done standard tater tots, except that they arrived in a tiny bucket. The cocktails were average, but the cheese plate was quite nice. But it is the kind of place you root for, and with talented people involved, I am hoping to see it bloom into a long-running neighborhood favorite.
