This is a very interesting restaurant. We had lunch here during an overnight stay at the next-door hotel before catching an early flight at SEATAC.
If you sit at the counter, it’s basically dinner and a show–if you find watching people cook, as I do. It’s almost like watching choreography as you see a half dozen chefs handling the lunch rush.
The seating is interesting, too. Think of those padded swivel armchairs at casino slot machines. There’s also a row of booths, each separated by padded walls, but trust me, the counter is much more interesting.
The food is essentially everything you’ve ever gotten in a diner, plus more. We started with the fried artichoke hearts, which were generous and excellent.
The Mexican Scramble was also a large serving. It was a bit dense and needed some Tabasco to liven it up despite the inclusion of jalapenos, but it was pretty good.
The coating on the blackened chicken was also very good.
Service was friendly, and overall the experience was quite entertaining.
