Six Seven

Listening to the rain on my window right now, it's hard to imagine that on Monday it was mid-70's and I was walking around downtown in flip flops and no jacket.  True story.  With the weather being as gorgeous as it was, Erika had the good sense to suggest us girls head down to the waterfront for Seattle Restaurant Week at Six Seven Restaurant at the Edgewater Hotel.  Pretty great idea :)  Our reservation was right at sunset {how romantic} and after having to wait a little while, the hostess escorted us to our table right next to the window where we had a clear view of the water, the boats, and the most beautiful spring day.  We all enjoyed a leisurely dinner {delicious steaks!} along with girl talk as we watched the sun set into the water.  I can't believe I've lived in this city for over 8 years and have never been to this quintessential Seattle place, but I am definitely putting it on my  happy hour list for summertime.  I love when last minute plans work out so perfectly!

I've wanted to dine at Marjorie basically since I moved to Seattle, so when I saw that they're menu for Seattle Restaurant Week this year looked especially yummy, I decided I had to give it a go.  Monday night, David and I headed up there to the cute and cozy space that only seats a handful of diners {I would love to go back and sit on their patio in the summer}.  The food we had was tasty {my favorite dish was the clams} but unfortunately, their timing was a bit off and by the time we got our main dish, it was teetering on cold.  The flavors were so good though, and all of the dishes so interesting, that I would definitely give them another shot on a normal night with their regular menu {the burger I saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing}.  All in all, it was a fun night to go somewhere new {something I haven't been doing a lot of lately} and check another restaurant off the list.  Hmmm.....where to next?
