 Recommend both Ettas and Cutters (across from each other on Western), at
 the north end of the Market.

 Pike never owned a market, so there is no Pike's Market. There is a
 Pike Street Market, named after a street, not a person.

 Try Etta's, The Metropolitan Grill, Mortons is very regional, just not
 this one, Axis, Blowfish and everyone needs to visit Ivars for the
 best in Seattle sea food.

 So it is, and I know that, just like I know the Pike the Street and
 Place is named for never lived here, never owned a market and that
 there is no Pike's market. For me it was late. BTW, I meant what I
 said about Ivar's, it is an authentic Seattle Experience, one of the
 few left.

 BTW, had some very good crab cakes at Etta's a couple of weeks ago,
 but even better at The Supreme in Madrona. Young Mr Hunter has done a
 fine job with the Kitchen and while I have heard the front of the
 house described as cold, I've always found it very warm and the
 service excellent. The Steaks are great and make sure you try the
 Mussels in a saffron sauce.

 Oh and Dennis, there is no smoking.
