The Secret Snob: In the Bowl: Vegetarian Noodle Bistro, Capitol Hill, Seattle
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/10/in-bowl-vegetarian-noodle-bistro.html
Tuesday, October 06, 2009. In the Bowl: Vegetarian Noodle Bistro, Capitol Hill, Seattle. It's a widely-known rumor that In the Bowl. Puts crack-cocaine in their curry which makes all manner of Capitol Hillian crave their food for a fortnight. The mister and I have been many times, but tonight we had a 9pm itch that only In the Bowl. Could itch. It also happens to be about 300 feet from our front door, and that they are the fastest take-out on the hill, but these do not discredit our adoration. You can pr...

The Secret Snob: VIOS Cafe and Marketplace, Capitol Hill
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/06/vios-cafe-and-marketplace-capitol-hill.html
Thursday, June 25, 2009. VIOS Cafe and Marketplace, Capitol Hill. I drive by VIOS. On my way to my hairdresser about 6 times annually. I finally decided to treat my newly colored hair to a lunch and writing date (I am, in fact, IN VIOS. As I type this). I had no idea what to expect, as it advertises itself as a Café/Marketplace. And so I suppose I must give VIOS. A lamb kabob covers a multitude of sins. Written by the secret snob. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You might be a snob if:. Oddfellows Ca...

The Secret Snob: LARK, Seattle
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/09/lark-seattle.html
Tuesday, September 22, 2009. You know, the mister and I really (LIKE REALLY) wanted to enjoy LARK. We had heard quite a bit about it and walked all the way over there (okay, it's only 1 mile, but when is the last time you walked a mile for a fine dining experience), but we left feeling like we just shelled out a small fortune for really " meh. Reasons to go to LARK. And have a cocktail? Perfect score for service. Reasons not to go to LARK. Side note here: We are no stranger to French cuisine, culture, or...

The Secret Snob: July 2009
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 01, 2009. The Broadway Grill, Capitol Hill. Funny thing about The Broadway Grill. When I didn't live on Capitol Hill, I would have no problem showing my face here. I went two or three times and didn't think anything of the overpriced booze and poor service. I would say that I EVEN enjoyed it. The other choices available to our walking feet. We sat at our table for 10 minutes before greeted. Upon greeting, the totally ditsy boy-stud who waited on us greeted us with "What do you want.".

The Secret Snob: Smith, Capitol Hill
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/06/smith-capitol-hill.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Smith, Capitol Hill. I vowed never to go back to Smith. It was the great snow storm of 2008, and all the restaurants on Capitol Hill were so busy one could barely secure a table anywhere. Because driving was an equally impossible task, all manner of people were walking to any foodery they could find. When QFC’s shelves started to empty, the panic set in. This is the general hysteria into which I walked when attempting to go to Smith. I am rather glad that I decided to give Smith.

The Secret Snob: Bleu Bistro, Capitol Hill, Seattle
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/09/bleu-bistro-capitol-hill-seattle.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. Bleu Bistro, Capitol Hill, Seattle. It was the first fall rain of the season, and I decided to treat myself to a lunch date at Bleu Bistro. I wanted to sip wine and reply to a letter from my sister in an inspiring ambiance, so I walked up the hill. The last time I had been in Bleu. Has a smokin' happy hour, by the way, and he introduced me to all the ins and outs of that while I decided. Malbec and Macaroni for me, thank you very much. That's just the kind of snob I am. Mmmhhm...

The Secret Snob: August 2009
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 06, 2009. Ray's Boathouse and Cafe, Ballard. It's a gorgeous day in Seattle, and my friends and I head out to Ballard.to the famous Ray's Boathouse and Cafe. To celebrate a birthday, sunshine, and food. We make reservations for the cafe, but arrived early enough to secure a wonderfully private corner of the deck. Side note to the skin-cancer conscious: No umbrellas. Bring a big, BIG hat. And ABSOLUTELY.NO.HOOCH. Unacceptable. But we are easy, quickly. Ready to forgive and move on. We ord...

The Secret Snob: Chutney's Grille on the Hill, Capitol Hill, Seattle
http://thesecretsnob.blogspot.com/2009/08/chutneys-on-hill-capitol-hill-seattle.html
Tuesday, August 04, 2009. Chutney's Grille on the Hill, Capitol Hill, Seattle. The mister and I were in a wandering mood. How this mood took us 10 blocks uphill (with laptops in tow), I'll never know, but I am surely joyous that it did so. After an iced-tea cool down at Victrola. On 15th (a place we love, btw), the mister was getting hungry. We decided to head to Chutney's. Which was the closest Indian food, and he had a hankering for some curry. Is Pakistani (northern) and Chutney's. We ordered a Coconu...
