I just ate at Towne the other day, and it was fantastic. Lots of ex Bottega Louie people. Baco Mercato is great, and relatively cheap for that kind of high concept restaurant. I haven't been to Industriel or Kitchen Table yet, but both have generally favorable reviews (even though LAW hated Industriel). Lastly, Mo Chica opened on 7th down from Bottega Louie and is, IMO, fantastic. To use that word again, it's hipster Peruvian.

There's a ton happening in the retail and restaurant scene downtown. That list is pretty damn comprehensive, and still doesn't include the French restaurant going in across Grand Ave. from Bottega Louie. Or Josef Centano's new restaurant opening up in the old Urban Noodle space. Or the salad place that's supposed to go in on the Main Street side of Medallion. Or Badmaash, the Indian-themed gastropub that will eventually go into the old Charcoal Grill space on the 2nd Street side of the Higgins Building. There's an incredible - and hopefully sustainable - amount of retail activity and momentum going on throughout downtown, that, as a longtime resident, is more exciting than the new highrise developments proposed. |
Don't forget, I only posted things that happened in the past
week. So, ColeDayMan, I didn't post info on those restaurants because there was nothing new on them in the past week- though Badmaash sounds particularly interesting. And yes, Alki, I do believe things are changing that quickly
