I’ve been contemplating for a couple of days whether to post a review about our Easter Sunday brunch at Etta’s Seafood or not. I’ve been writing reviews only if the food or the experience is really good or really bad. Etta’s is somewhere in the middle, not much to complain about, but nothing to write home about either! I know it is a Seattle favorite, but I’ve been thinking lately that it might just be the hype -Tom Douglas owns the place, so […]

0/8 Seafood bar and grill is the new restaurant that opened at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency Hotel late last year. I was recently checking out their website, and saw the following blurb:

Saturday night we went out into the town to celebrate Hema’s birthday. First stop, the W bar at the Earth & Ocean; a fantastic restaurant in the W Hotel downtown. We sat at the lounge with the trendy and sleek but comfy furniture that adds to the hip atmosphere one would expect from a W hotel lobby. The bar was packed with beautiful people in beautiful clothes, both tourists and locals. The lounge was less crowded, but was more suited […]
