The Most Underrated Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"There are a lot of places around Pike Place serving market-sourced, French-inflected Pacific Northwest cuisine worth trying, but when we want to go someplace comfortable the V.I. is always a good bet. You can get all the usual suspects — mussels, chowder, fish and chips, local beer on tap — at wallet-friendly prices. A block away from the market itself, it feels like a refuge from tourist destinations and a retreat into history. It’s been around for 120 years and should be around for at least another 120, recent landlord-owner drama notwithstanding. –Harry Cheadle" - Eater Staff
