Frommer's Review
Belltown is packed with trendy, upscale restaurants where being seen is often more important than the food being served. This is definitely not one of those places, although the huge windows facing Second Avenue provide plenty of people-watching opportunities. Chef/owner Scott Staples mines the bounties of the Northwest to prepare his seasonal fare, preparing such dishes as venison terrine, chicken breast with date-caper purée, and wild-boar Bolognese with arugula pappardelle pasta. Risotto here is reliably good and changes with the seasons. Desserts are as eclectic and creative as the entrees (green tea pot de crème, mango upside-down cake). The cocktails here are some of Seattle's most creative libations.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
