Some of the best pasta I've had in my life. They have 3 daily specials and you pick off that. Only open for lunch on weekdays. Get there around 11am or else the line will be around-the-block.

Grabbing drinks here is fun. E. Smith Mercantile is a small 12-person bar at the back of a cool shop that sells everything you want but don't need :-) ask the bartender to whip you up a special cocktail with liquors like Kummel.

Take a bus to Woodinville if you have a sunny day to spare. So. Many. Wineries. Chateau Ste Michelle has OK wine (in my opinion) but the best space (huge outdoor greenery).
