Michou "A solid ****1/2." March 10, 2008 - Michou Fresca is a great little surprise in the Pike Place Market.Basically, it's a small stall-type storefront with a deli counter. From there, you select your sandwich and/or soup, it's heated on a panini press (if applicable) and you're good to go. I tried both the Tuscan chicken and the smoked salmon. The chicken was especially impressive, and the salmon was delicious too, and less greasy than I expected.The best part was the prices, though. Under $6 for a very solid sandwich with quality ingredients? In the Market? Sign me up, and be thankful that they aren't pandering to tourists. 5 people like this review - Recommend |

Santorini Greek Grill "Solid Greek fast food" March 10, 2008 - Very good place - not mind-blowing, but very good.This is Greek fast food. They run the same way a food court restaurant does. You order at the counter, go to a table, and you get your food freakishly fast. But, unlike most food court places, this food is interesting. Here's the breakdown:Gyro plate - The gyro meat was actually the least inspiring part of this dish. It wasn't mad, but it was a little on the thin side, in constitution and taste. Tzatziki sauce was creamy and pleasant, and pita was warm. The salad was exemplary, especially the dressing, and was my favorite part of the dish (a rarity). Portions were impressively big.Falafel plate - Served with the same salad as the gyro plate. Falafel was crispy, well-seasoned, and garlicky. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was strong.Greek fries - A pleasant surprise! I ordered them on a whim and was glad I did. Standard-cut 'taters in a lemony reduction of some kind with sprinkles of feta. Artery-hardeningly delicious.Dolmatas - A $1 order for two served with tzatziki, this made for a nice appetizer. Dolmatas are either good or they aren't, and these were good.Service was friendly, and while the price was definitely outside of food court range, two people had a full meal with appetizers and drinks for under $30.Kirkland should be proud to have such a cool place. 1 person likes this review - Recommend |

Gretchen's Shoebox Express "Good prepackaged stuff" February 19, 2008 - Gretchen's supplies prepackaged sandwiches, salads and various other goodies. I had two sandwiches on the Amtrak train back from Vancouver. Chicken milano was reasonably good - the chicken was a little dry, but it was boxed food, so I can't complain too much. Their Focaccia Margherita was great stuff. Prices were reasonable, too. Favorably impressed. 1 person likes this review - Recommend |

White Spot (in Vancouver) "Underwhelming" February 02, 2008 - I'm an American and I gather White Spot is pretty much the Canadian version of our chain burger places. Even relative to them, I'm afraid my experience didn't add up.White Spot is nice enough, despite its really weird name. The burgers were solid and beefy. But if I wanted a trashy "work night out" burger joint, I was crazy bacon guacamole burgers and junk I wouldn't otherwise eat. White Spot doesn't offer much different from standard, and my meat was weirdly cold when it arrived.Not a memorable experience. 2 people like this review - Recommend |

Araya's Vegetarian Place "Thai for the sweet tooth" January 29, 2008 - Maybe it's because I'm an American. They could put anything on my plate, call it a Thai dish, and I'd fall for it. Good luck for me, then, that Araya's is nice enough not to trick me. Everything here is delicious.Confession: This is the first time I've enjoyed a peanut sauce. It's a little on the sweet side, but if you browse the menu wisely, you can find something that gravitates savory or spicy.Although it's located in a pretty dour part of the U-District, the interior at Araya's is serene and pleasant. Service was very good. My lone complaint there is that I got no spontaneous offers to re-fill my soda.I always like when an Asian restaurant has distinct dishes instead of the same repeated time after time with minor differences. Everything on the menu was interesting, definitely enough so for me to go back.Recommended. 4 people like this review - Recommend |
