IG aesthetic worthy restaurant, they have their ambiance down, cute drinks and presentation are all great. i will say food/service is a hit or miss though but would recommend at least going once. (a popular date spot)
Di Fiora - Seattle, WA
next to the amazon spheres! nice place to go for happy hour or date night
2120 - Seattle, WA
it is the best mac and cheese. occasionally buy the frozen one at safeway or costco when they do sell it (very rotational in CA)
TIP: they also have beechers at both PAE and SEA-TAC. Sea-tac, it's in the N gates

Nana’s Green Tea - Seattle, WA
NEW!! Gluten free comfort food with a Korean-American twist. LGBTQ+ friendly!
They just opened and they have a really interesting tipping model. there's NONE! it's included in the price of the food. this isn't mentioned on their socials but I saw it on their website. (slide 3!)
they are more east of cap-hill!
