I have always enjoyed Sodini's on Green right below Grant. I was there a few weeks ago and the calamari was excellent and the gnocci were fantastic.

Yabbies is excellent. The chef and I were line cooks together at Aqua and he really knows how to deliver the bang for the buck.

For an out of the way surprise, try Olives Gourmet Foods in Edmonds (just North of Seattle) They have a fantastic olive bar, over 50 cheeses from around the world and spices, oils, vinegars and more that I have a hard time finding anywhere else. Now I do not have to drive 20 minutes to find some good food.
