Wooohoooo!! *throws fists in the air*

I did wonder where you were as I remember reading you were going too!!!!

Perhaps you can suggest a restaurant downtown for the Thursday! Will you be there too for dinner????

I would love to go! I want to meet every single boardie there.....!

There are so many good restaurants....If you guys can give me some suggestions on what you would want to eat, the vibe/scenery and locations I will give you all some suggestions.

welllll......

I reckon we'll have people on a budget - so something cheap and cheerful is probably the go (perhaps under $20 for an Entree as a guide)

We'll probably have vegetarians....so somewhere that has at least a few vego options beyond salad!

It should have some sort of buzz to it - without being so loud we can't hear each other...

Central - needs to be downtown, or Queen Anne...

We'll need to be able to make a reservation given there will be a group of us - so walk in's ony isn't really an option. 

I've never been to Seattle - so I've put the word out for advice and so far I've had people suggest

Mama's Mexican Kitchen,

Steelhead Diner 

Taphouse Grill

Cutter's 

Sazerac

Black Bottle
 

Are any of these decent? I'd be interested to hear what you suggest...

Wow!  I was really considering getting to this event.  Now you all are making it more appealing!!  Just got back from Seattle last Tuesday.  What a blast!!  Please post if you find out when tickets go on sale.

Cup,

I found the following that is a great search site:

 http://www.ask.com/bar?q=seafood+restaurants+downtown+seattle&page=1&qsrc=2417&ab=6&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.urbanspoon.com%2Ffn%2F1%2F50%2F9%2FSeattle%2FSeafood%2FDowntown.html

Click on the arrows on the map and then on the restaurant's link and it shows the relative cost and rating. 

Some of the below might be too expensive, but check 'em out (one of your's is listed):

Mamas mexican is too small for a bigger group.

 Steelhead Diner is awesome!!!!

A lot of places in Seattle are independently owned and therefore very small and can't house a lot of big groups.

I've heard Taphouse is great too.

I know a lot of amazing breakfast places also, if anyone wants to know of those for Sat or Sun.

There are also a lot of great sushi places..I've had sushi around the us and the sushi there melts in your mouth, but that might be hard for everyone to agree on.

I also like Wild Ginger. It's Thai, Korean, Vietnamese and some english...and is downtown. Has a full bar.

Luigi's Grotto is in Pioneer Square (Where Layne and the boys spent a lot of time..has a great vibe and lots of cool bars) is underground has a room for private parties and has great italian food.

5 SPOT in Queen anne is great for Breakfast and Dinner...has great american food and is located in Queen Anne.

I would almost suggest Capitol Hill Rests over Queen Anne...in my opinion the location is easier for everyone to get too.

Thanks Nat! Honestly, I'm not fussed as long as I dont have to take a mortgage to pay the bill!!! hahahaha!!!

 The Wild Ginger sounds good to me...I think we are all staying downtown....Dawn is now booked too!!! Wooooohooooooooooo!

But otherwise I eat anything, a n y t h i n g!

Where's everybody????

Did you see they have announed the venue for the pre party? It's South of town I think...

Ok - i've posted up a thread <<here>> regarding the dinner.

I'll see how many are interested and then pick a restaurant from your suggestions....I think Steelhead Diner, Wild Ginger and Luigi's Grotto are the contenders at the moment....I am going to email them to find out what kind of numbers they can cater for in a group.

SoulDesertion I can't find a website or menu for Luigi's Grotto....any suggestions where I can look? I've googled it I've found a few reviews but no actual working site.

EDIT! I think I've found it - it's changed names....is this it? (still no menu though) http://www.seattleslittleitaly.com/denunzios-restaurant.html 

Ok, we have decided to make this a lil more private so if you are going to this EVENT, please request me as your friend:

You will not be added if I do not know who you are, sorry! If you really want to be amongst my MySpace  friends (for some reason that I'd like to know anyway!  ) but cannot make it to Seattle try this:

PS: Paula, I hope you'll join us!!!!

Personally, I don’t think this is necessary, especially as our first names are being used in this thread, however I’m happy to go with the flow and do the myspace thing if that’s what everyone perfers.

I’m going to keep the dinner thread open however, with a compromise that all specfic details of time and restaurant are kept to PM. The dinner is open to all members of this board, and without any sort of advertising it will be restricted to our little group who are going to the LST weekend – which wasn’t the intention.

I realise there are some freaks out there – but I don’t think we need to overreact too much. If you are concerned for your personal safety – please be cautious about what you are posting on a personal level.

I guess boardies that are not going to the LSF Tribute can still make it to the restaurant with us if they want, right? So come over to MySpace:

and let's start organising ourselves!

inchainswithAlice:

Check these 2 sites out and give us a shout if you are going!!!!!
