Amazing Dinner At The Grill From Ipanema

Finally tried The Grill From Ipanema. Had way to much bacon wrapped turkey, bacon wrapped steak, peppered steak and countless other variations and meat combinations. It was meat heaven!

Great places to go for Breakfast in Seattle

This last weekend I discovered 2 great places for breakfast.





My friend Blake took Matt and I to Etta's after a failed attempt to eat at the Wasabi Bistro that apparently is not open till late on Saturday. Etta's is down by Pikes Place Market 2020 Western Ave.
It's more of a seafood place but they offer brunch Saturday and Sunday till 3pm

Sunday Morning we went to the Madison Park Cafe, which is another place that came highly recommended by my friend Blake.






It normally has a good 20 to 40 min wait to be seated so you have to get there early to get on the list. Located at 1807 42nd Avenue East and serving Brunch Sat and Sun 8:00am-2:00pm.

Here is a picture of the amazing French Toast I had Sunday Morning



Anyone have some good suggestions for other great places to go for breakfast?

My Review of the Capitol Club Restaurant?

From the moment I walked in and heard the Postal Service playing I really wanted to like this place.

It was my friend Shawn's Bday and he made reservations for 15 to 20 people. We showed up and the restaurant claimed that Shawn never made the reservations. Then they said the reservations were for the night before and we had messed up. I am pretty sure my friend knows his bday. The restaurant was absolutely empty so you would think they would be happy to have a huge group of people show up, but they were not.

They acted all bothered that had to deal with a big crowd and they started telling us how difficult it would be and how there would be a minimum of $500 for a group of 15. Then when it was time to order they were out of most items on the menu.

I ended up having the panini which turned out to be really good. So from what I can tell the food is decent but I was really disappointed with the service.

What has your experience been at the capitol club?
