Four words: meatball sandwich with gorgonzola. In a slightly dodgy part of town, only open on Tu-F at lunch (11-3:30, get there early).The pancetta is overrated in my opinion.
Working on the computer, at an independent coffee house, on a rainy day, with a a view of the Space Needle. Does it get more Seattle?
My foodie aunt says "Order a dozen of Fanny Bay (my favorite and you can't get them here.) Sit at the bar. Happy hour 3-5 weekday $1/oyster. A STEAL."

My friend Andrew says, "This isn't unmissable, but the front and back patios are rock solid, and the very light nautical theme had me swooning."
