Frommer's Review
If you're looking for a fun, casual spot, check out this cozy pizza place in the heart of the historic Ballard neighborhood. The restaurant has adopted a bordello theme, which makes it particularly popular with young couples and lively groups of friends. The pizzas are good, but it's the atmosphere -- pure Victorian brothel -- that makes this place worth recommending. (Supposedly there really was a bordello on the upper floor of this building back in the early 1900s.) In summer, try to get a seat on the back deck. Artichoke lovers should try the artichoke lasagna or the Artie Parmie pizza. Oh, yes, and don't forget to order a Chocolate Chip Orgasm! Note: Because this is considered a bar, you must be 21 to eat here.

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.
