Really good Southern and Caribbean foods. Also, a full bar with tasty drinks. The fried chicken is top tier. The prices are a little high, but that's whats going on in Seattle these days.

This place used to be amazing. Now, the reviews are mixed. I don't think Oprah has this chicken airlifted to her in Chicago anymore... if that tells you anything.

It's a few minutes drive to the south, but I think this is the best Ethiopian food in the city. And the cook and proprietor, Sunny, is one of the most charming ladies you will ever meet.

My new, favorite neighborhood bar. It's a bit of a walk, or a very brief drive. They offer free peanuts and a floor on which to throw the shells, as well as a curated beer selection without compare.
