Umi Sake House

“Dubbed the "most grown-up bar in Belltown", this "low-key" lounge is tops with a slightly "older crowd" that comes to "unwind after work" over "signature drinks", particularly the namesake scotch...”

“Truly fantastic Italian food run by a really amazing long-time owner and team. And, you literally can't get any closer as it is on the ground floor IN the building. Pizza is a favorite! Tell Giuseppe (the owner) hello, that Zoe and Mae (our daughters) miss him, and he will tell you anything you want to know about the neighborhood.”

“This is your once in a lifetime kind of place to go. Excellent omakase with a hefty price, it is money well spent. Started by one of Hiro's students, you can expect there to be a line so get here early if you decide to try it out! ”

“Ralphs (not the same as Ralphs in California) is another urban specialty market. Good selection of wine.”

“Shared plates - not necessarily small though! This is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Get the broccoli blasted, kimchi pork belly skewers, and boar ribs. ”
