Where to Eat on Phinney Ridge

This used to be a low-key neighborhood for dining. Then—boom. People used to toss around words like “reliable” or “low-key” to describe the concentration of restaurants on Phinney Ridge. The real action was north in Greenwood, or down the hill in Ballard. Over the years, though, a few new spots trickled in to live double lives as neighborhood hangouts that also draw diners from across Seattle.

‘This could be the start of something’: Gee and Ursula question whether proposed McDonald’s will help Seattle’s Chinatown

A McDonald’s could be coming to a struggling corner of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). KIRO host Gee Scott worried it could hurt nearby restaurants and speed up gentrification. “I’m not being disrespectful towards McDonald’s, but I can also understand, like, I don’t know about this,” Gee said on...

Skip cooking: 19 Seattle-area spots with Thanksgiving meals to go

Don't feel like cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year? Seattle restaurants are offering everything from turkey feasts to Indian dishes and Caribbean-inspired holiday meals to enjoy at home. Why it matters: Sometimes you'd rather socialize — or watch football — than spend Thanksgiving in the kitchen. What to expect: Many restaurants stop accepting preorders several days before Thanksgiving. Several options require some reheating or cooking at home. Prices are before taxes and fees. 13 Coins (Pioneer Square): $220 for four people or $400 for eight. Herb-roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and a choice of pumpkin or apple pie. Order by Nov. 15 for pickup Nov. 25. Ada's Restaurant & Bar (Phinney Ridge): $65 per person. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and seasonal vegetables. Orders can accommodate individuals or larger groups, with pickup Nov. 25. BluWater Bistro (Leschi): $220 for a turkey dinner or $320 for prime rib, each serving six. Both packages include salad, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and a bottle of pinot noir. Pickup is available Nov. 25 or Thanksgiving Day. Buca di Beppo (South Lake Union): $115 for two to three people or $195 for four to six.

BIZNOTE: Another closure this weekend – West Seattle Junction restaurant Taste & Best, after 3 1/2 months

Yet another local business closure looming this weekend – along with West Seattle Coin Laundry and The Wash Dog, add to the list Taste & Best, the Indian restaurant at 4752 California SW that never even put up a permanent sign (the photo above is from tonight). After a reader tip, we stopped in on the way to tonight’s West Seattle Art Walk and a staff member told us they’re closing Sunday (November 15), also mentioning that the restaurant is for sale (this blind listing appears to match). The restaurant opened in late July, less than a month after Great American Diner and Bar closed in that space. (Great American’s owner said at the time he was looking for another West Seattle location; when we checked back with him recently, he said he was “still looking.”) Before Great American, the corner space had been through a parade of establishments, including another with a short stay (Shelby’s, less than six months). Taste & Best’s owners opened a location in Shoreline almost simultaneous with West Seattle; no word yet on its fate.

Nobody Wants a McDonald’s in Chinatown

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.

Coming out at Comet Tavern

Editor's note: “Dance Yourself Clean” is a biweekly column dedicated to reviewing local nightlife establishments through the eyes and sensibilities of an introvert. This is the final bar from my summer backlog, which can only mean one thing, soon I will have to actually try a new bar again instead of hiding away in my apartment. Fortunately, I have one more week of cowardice before I must face the real world again.
