- Chow attempts to break the restaurant curse plaguing 12th & Pike since the 1200 Bistro closed shop (target opening date September 2009): “Our establishment will serve Pacific Rim style cuisine in a casual environment complimented with music and art. We will be open for lunch and dinner Monday thru Friday and breakfast thru dinner Saturday & Sunday.”
- Maggie Savarino notes that the Bar 41 at B & O Espresso Happy Hour is worth a stop (M-F 5 to 7 pm and after 11 pm) – $6 for a shot and a beer, $2 off cocktails, $1 off beer & $3.50 appetizers
- Bottleneck Lounge will be closed Sunday 8/16 & Monday 8/17 to take down a wall as a part of their expansion – they will be hosting a Top Chef Las Vegas viewing party on 8/19 at 9 pm (cheer on Robin Leventhal & Ashley Merriman)
- Olivar introduces happy hour from 5 to 6:30 pm M – Th featuring a $5 daily tapas special and sangria for $2 as well as house red & white wine for $5 / glass
- Chicken Katsu & Chicken Satay at the Chatterbox Cafe are good enough reasons to cross Madison says Hillel Cooperman
- Cocktalia visits the Knee HIgh and recommends a number of them (he leaves out my personal favorite – the St. James Cooler)
Robin couldn’t have won top chef. She is on ads for Seastar as the new chef.
well – hopefully Robin made it to the finals – she is at See Sound in Belltown I believe
I do love St. Germain and so the St. James Cooler sounds like a winner. Our problem at Knee High was simply one of time — there are only so many cocktails two people can drink in an evening. I’ve got a fresh bottle of St. Germain here at home though so I’ll be sure to try my hand at making them.
Excited to have another place for breakfast on 12th. I hope that Chow will serve it starting at 9, rather than the 10:30 that Barrio starts. We end up at Cafe Presse a lot cause of that.
