OK, here's the deal....

A friend from L.A....very high-end/high-maintenance is coming for a visit next month.

We'll pick her up from the airport on a Friday and stop in Seattle for lunch.

I need a place that's NICE...maybe tablecloths...the whole schmeer...and GOOD FOOD.

Some place that is not hard to find (we've not really learned our way around Seattle yet) and has easy parking available....(like near Pacific Place?)

Saturday night dinner is easy....we'll take the ferry and walk to CASCADIA !

Friday night I'm cooking...(-:

Thanks so much for any suggestions...!!!!

I believe Rovers serves lunch on Friday. It's nice, and the food is sublime. I believe the tableclothes are white, and it's in Madison Park. You can take the Madison exit off I-5 and head East.

Maximilien in the Market is my suggestion. The food and the place are simple, but elegant.

Edited to add: And a stellar view.

Cafe Campagne is very nice for lunch, and according to the website, Campagne is offering lunch on the terrace during the summer. You can park at the Pike Place Market garage, the Bon Marche garage, or you might be able to get valet parking from the Inn at the Market. Either Maximilien or Campagne would be fun for a visitor since they're both right in Pike Place Market.

I'd second Maximilien and also suggest Union. I'm a broken record aren't I? :hmmm:

Most women don't seem to know how much flour to use so it gets so thick you have to chop it off the plate with a knife and it tastes like wallpaper paste....Just why cream sauce is bitched up so often is an all-time mytery to me, because it's so easy to make and can be used as the basis for such a variety of really delicious food.

I'll second the recommend for Cafe Campagne or Campagne. There's also Le Pichet, and Matt's in the Market.
