Ray's Boathouse
"Ray's Boathouse: 'Pretentious.' Ray's Cafe: 'Sublime.'"
January 03, 2008 - Best place to watch the sunset in Seattle?  Ray's Cafe.  When you go to Ray's Boathouse, just go upstairs to Ray's Cafe.  More casual Northwest feel.  Lots of windows, rustic wood beams, two fireplaces, and a more lively atmosphere - compared to downstairs which is more formal, stuffy, pretentious - and, overpriced.  Upstairs at the Cafe or downstairs at the Boathouse, either way, the food is great and the service is prompt, attentive, enthusiastic, friendly.  (I wish the new chef would bring back the french fried sweet potatoes though!)  Great selection of beers and microbrews.  And, you can't go wrong with an affordable bottle of Ray's private label wine.

Seattle Crab Co
"An overpriced, remodeled Skippers..."
January 03, 2008 - Same food as the old fast-food Skippers (which used to occupy the same building), but costs three times + more.  The dining area is a little more upscale - but it still looks like you're in Skippers Fish & Chips with a Starbucks color scheme.  Deep-fried.  Skimpy portions.  Forget it.

Golden Gate Restaurant
"A dump - but it's open late..."
January 03, 2008 - Good luck trying to find any decent Chinese restaurant in North Seattle.  There used to be a really good Chinese restaurant in the northend called Gourmet City, but they shut down a couple of years ago after their chef returned to China.  Golden Gate has been around for years, and it looks like it.  No obvious improvements at all.  It's a real dump - but the food is not bad [old stand-bys like Mongolian Beef, General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Salt & Pepper Prawns] - especially when you consider you can order "to go" at one o'clock in the morning.  Around back is a bar with a pool table and a crankin' juke box.  If it's tacky ambience you're after, this is the place.  If it's fast Chinese food to satisfy your munchies in the wee hours of the night - you can't beat Golden Gate.
