Lares Restaurant
Category: Mexican
Neighborhood: Santa Monica
I have been here twice. This review is the average of my two visits.
The atmosphere here is top notch: small, cozy and authentic.
The food my first visit was also awesome. I can't remember what it's called but it's the first thing under the "specialties" section.
On my second visit, they messed up my order and my corrected food arrived a little chilly. I was crushed; I really love everything about this place.
Also, the mariachi band makes Lares fall into the "Hey, let me take you on this first date where I know this really cool place" category. Despite my bad luck, I'd still recommend this place.

While the N9ne has many reviews across the spectrum of Yelp, my dining experience left me with a an overall indifferent feeling for the restaurant.
The food is great. The food is also expensive.
The night we were there, the bar was far too crowded to be of much use to anyone. The crowdation was much past the "hip" or "cool" point of person density.
The mood of the restaurant felt inexplicably dated with a certain polish over the top to give you the impression that this restaurant was built yesterday.
I had the filet mignon, which was expectedly a delicious steak. The steak was not as good as the filet mignon I heard the previous night at the Bellagio steak house. I'd recommend heading over to the Bellagio if you're looking to drop a lot of dough.

While a restaurant of this caliber wouldn't stand up to a cozy Thai place in a larger city, the fact that there is Thai food this _decent_ in Everett bumps it up to 4.
Prices are reasonably. The menu cover looks cool, the menu itself does not.
The taste is pretty good. They pass the Pad Thai test and their spicy Red Curry ain't half bad. I didn't care much for the Pad Cashew, mostly because I'm not a big fan of too many veggies.
Overall, a good Thai destination in Everett.

Quite the find for the little town of Leavenworth. Too bad it's a little pricey.
$12 for coffee and a salad is much too expensive for Leavenworth. Hell, that's even expensive for LA. This place is off the main strip, but I recommend checking it out. Their Oriental Chicken Salad is a nice treat for Leavenworth's remoteness.
Service is great and staff is friendly. The place is dead.

Earl's On the Avenue
Categories: Restaurants, Dive Bars
Neighborhood: University District
Earl's is what it is. Their drinks will have you playing for the All-Blacks in no time.
It's atmosphere feels like a "cool" parent trying to design a bar but falling short on so may levels. It's got dart boards, but they are the plastic kind. It's not dive, it's not class. It didn't feel college, either.
Granted, I did have a very good time when I went there. I attribute that entirely to the company I was with. Go with friends and forget about the atmosphere. Maybe that's why the drinks are so strong...

Red Lion brought me back to Germany for an evening. The beers on top are respective of what I found while spending a few months in Deutschland. Spaten, Paulaner and a few others (none of this Beck's and Hoegarten Scheisse).
Red Lion is a little on the pricey side, but it's a great haunt to relive memories and drink the finest beers in the world.

I didn't know Lynnwood made places this cool.
Unfortunately, Rock hovers somewhere in between rock god status and hokey impersonation. I think it's the newness and cleanness of the restaurant.
Also, the servers are a bit weird. Food and microbrews make up for it, though. And then you get your bill...

Hangar Cafe
Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, Coffee & Tea
Neighborhood: Georgetown
Cozy, well-priced and delicious cafe situated in a place you would least expect it. It's great for a Saturday brunch or lunch.
Took a girl here on a lunch date and Hangar Cafe definitely delivered. For those of you looking to get out of your typical cool Seattle neighborhoods, give the Hangar Cafe a shot.

Primitivo Wine Bistro

Neighborhood: Venice
Primitivo doesn't leave you in the dark. It's a classy, trendy, semi-pricey wine bar in a classy, trendy, kind of pricey part of town. That's about it.

The beer selection is great, usually 5-6 beers on tap with more bottles than you can possibly imagine.
The prices aren't half bad for what I assume average Williamsburg prices to be. The fancy bottled beers will definitely break the bank, though.
