Up on Capitol Hill you've got another Elysian pub, Hopvine, and Stumbling Monk. Quinn's has great food and a pretty decent tap/bottle list as well.

I'll never visit or give my business to another Elysian location again. But that's mainly a personal issue.
That bad? Well I was just thinking of a beer and food there but who knows really. I'm up for anything.
I'm still down. Let me know if this becomes a solid deal. You have my mobile # yet?
There's GOT to be others for tonight!
Like I said, it was a personal experience from a little while back. I'm sure they're just fine for most other folks, but I won't even recommend them to people I know.

Seth, should I send you a link or the video itself of last night?
ooh! Dish!
If you can get me the full quality video somehow that would be best.

I can show up tonight depending on what time ya'll are meeting up. I have somewhere to be around 10:30PM though.
Alright, I just got back home from happy hour with some people from work (I apologize for my confused updates, Seth). Depending on where else people would want to go tonight, I might get up and tag along.
Last night was really amazing. I owe MisterNugNug the finest glass of water money can buy

I owe him $2.25 for letting me use his Orca pass. And you get the Random Stranger Award (tm) for offering to buy me dinner. The entire night was a faith in humanity restorer.
Lots of places will have Cinco De Mayo celebrations. Just walk around the various neighborhoods, you're bound to find something that looks fun.
Uh huh.
Sure. I barely did anything. Haha. Went to Pike Place Market and saw Iron Man 3. I haven't even had dinner! I slept from about 6 to 11. Oops.
And now, beer in the hotel lobby.

I just had Marination for the first time yesterday down on Alki. Fuck all that burger talk, why didn't you guys tell me about THIS?!
Because Tacos Chukis is better, and I know I've told you guys about that before.
Rumor has it they taste like chicken.

They are kind of tough though. If you're used to game meat they're probably ok.
Sounds delicious.
Absolutely perfect weekend. Fiesta 5K + Taco Truck Challenge yesterday, kayaking from Agua Verde this morning (and then one of their awesome breakfast burritos after), then biking all the way from there to Red Hook Brewery for lunch! (and back)
Ok, that's enough sun for the year, clouds plz.

You shut your mouth. I only just bought a grill today!
A little like deer, maybe?
marination is good.

I'm open to some choice seafood restaurant suggestions right now. My parents are in town and I believe their intent is to consume enough to warrant some species being put on the endangered list.

I chanced upon a buffet restaurant called Old Country Buffet and it was awesome given the prices ($13).
Any more places like that? I love steakhouses that has a saladbar like Ponderosa, Sizzler...
And nothing overpriced. I went down to Novilhos Steakhouse and couldn't bear paying at least $48 for a meal... hence I ended up at Old Country.

Well do you mean that it's wrong of me to think it's pretty decent since reviews on google all slams it and now your's too? :/
Anyway I have a pretty naive viewpoint given that I just reached America and I haven't taste so much of these food in my life before.
I'll give you that I do understand what those people mean, the taste is lacking. But the variety already did good enough for me, and given the price. I loved the place.
Old Country Buffet is just super commoditized--drive across the country sometime and you'll see like 39 in a day. Same with Sizzler. Both just embody "suburbia". Having seen 'em all my life, I kind of just roll my eyes at them, but glad someone enjoys it sincerely.
I quite liked Branzino in Belltown (http://www.branzinoseattle.com/). Went with my pops last week while he was visiting. Isn't really an oyster restaurant--had oysters more for appetizers you know--but they were solid.
EDIT. oops double post I'm a monster.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you're not from the states, wasn't trying to be rude. I was just generally surprised to see someone make a statement like that. OCB doesn't tend to serve the best quality food which is how they can keep their costs so ridiculously low.
