---------------------- SEATTLE ----------------------------------------- (As of 9/21/93) I've been putting together a list of good restaurants for selected areas of the country (those that I visit regularly) with an emphasis on flavor, quality & value, rather than ambience & service. Either I've had a very good meal there, or more likely, someone else has recommended it highly. Note that most of the comments in the list are not mine, but are from other people who've taken the time to write up something about their dining experience. If you have additions, corrections, comments, or suggestions for removal, let me know at [email removed] or, even better, post them to the rec.food.restaurants Usenet newsgroup. I'm especially interested in hearing about particular dishes to get or avoid at specific restaurants, so I can include that information in this list, which I will post every few months to rec.food.restaurants Seattle -- By Cuisine ===================== Metropolitan Grill -- American 3 pigs -- Bbq Bamboo Gardens -- Veg Chinese Coastal Kitchen -- Caribbean Seafood Chez Shea -- Eclectic Dalia Lounge -- Eclectic New American Grille -- Eclectic Raja -- Indian Shahmiyama -- Indian/Bangladesh Azteca -- Mexican La Cocina del Peurco -- Mexican Wang's Mongolian Garden -- Mongolian Anthony's Homeport -- Seafood Ivar's Captain Table -- Seafood Roy's Boathouse -- Seafood Cactus -- Southwest Angel's -- Thai Lemon Grass -- Thai Thai Kitchen -- Thai Cafe Flora -- Vegetarian Seattle -- In Alphabetical Order ================================ Angel's -- Thai Broadway Anthony's Homeport -- Seafood Chain (All you can eat Dungeness Crab on Sundays.
