Seattle Fine Dining Restaurants That Are Worth the Splurge | Eater Seattle
"A while back the Seattle Times ran a rather negative review of this Pike Place coffee shop, the tone of which boiled down to “$8.50? For a latte?” And it must be said the latte is nothing special — or at least, it doesn’t stand out among all the other good lattes in town. What makes Storyville worth it is the vibe: the dark wood interior is beautiful, especially by the grungy standards of most market shops; the view looking out over the Pike Place Market sign and Puget Sound beyond is one of the city’s best; and the service is far more attentive and welcoming than your typical coffee shop. It’s a tourist trap, sure, but an enjoyable one. (Also, we’d personally rather pay $10 for coffee than wait an hour in line to get coffee down the street.)" - Harry Cheadle
