"At this lively Eastlake restaurant, the chef will tell you about his travels to Peru as he casually whips up a 12-course meal so life-changing that we've seen guests rip a page out of the menu for him to sign as a souvenir. And we don’t blame them—the meal is worth commemorating. You’ll eat things like buttery otoro dusted with kelp salt and sweet spot prawns from British Columbia. It “ends” with the best unagi in Seattle, but even after 12 courses, you may still get something extra like uni so picturesque that you almost don’t want to eat it. Just plan to be here awhile—the leisurely pace means that dinner can take the length of a Francis Ford Coppola film to get through." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
