Poquitos on Capitol Hill Is a “Little Bit” Awesome
“Poquitos” is about as fitting a name for Capitol Hill’s new Mexi-palace as “Tiny” is for a 300-pound man. I got the chance to soak it all in at the pre-opening party on Friday, and nothing owners Deming Maclise and James Weimann (the powerhouse duo behind Bastille Cafe & Bar) have done with their latest…
Restaurant Review: Capitol Hill’s La Bete
A gorgeous reclaiming of the old Chez Gaudy, with carefully prepared, exceptionally good food.
If you ever found your way into Chez Gaudy—down the shadowy hallway and through the small rooms decorated in college-rental fashion—you won’t believe how elegant La Bête is.

Restaurant Review: Seattle’s Best Teriyaki
So, The New York Times thinks teriyaki spots constitute quintessential Seattle dining? Fine. Here
“I never eat teriyaki.” This is the food equivalent of the common Seattle “I don’t own a TV” mating call. Well, I would never miss Gossip Girl, and I eat teriyaki. Unironically. (OK, I’m not sure how you eat lunch ironically, but I know people who could pull it off.) When John T. Edge called…
