Primary Sites:
Hotel Confidential: Hotel 1000, Seattle *****
Warm and rich natural materials, a sumptuous array of textures and a color palate derived from organic dyes are contrasted against contemporary steel forms, metal sculpture and art glass combine for a uniquely "Seattle" effect.

Old Milwaukee Café & Dessert Company, Tacoma (Garber review) ****
We knew we were going to love it the first moment we stepped in out of the rain -- and nothing we experienced during our visit in any way challenged that first impression.

Pancake Chef, SeaTac (Garber review) ****
We discovered the place only recently, and have already become devotees.
It seems that every time we visit, there are groups of friends who have chosen this special place as their private "club" and they don't mind "outsiders" so it's okay with us. This review also contains links to a wonderful Seattle-based site for those who love breakfast -- especially pancakes. And you are invited to write in with your suggestions of great breakfast and/or pancake places whose praises are yet to be sung!

The Cheesecake Factory, Seattle (Garber review) **** 1/2
This Seattle location is probably John's and my favourite, as it is right downtown, so there's lots to look at while we endure the inevitable wait for a table.
