Something special about the setting makes these normally pricey places worth considering during the restaurant promo bonanza.
Seattle Restaurant Week is back — Sundays through Thursdays from April 2-19, tons of local places will serve up $33 three-course dinners, with many making $18 two-course lunches as well. (The Seattle Times Company is a sponsor.) But with 165-plus restaurants taking part, how do you choose?
Our lists of best ambience, best overall values, neighborhood favorites and newcomers can help. Pro tips: Preview your menu options at srw.seattletimes.com, be sure to make reservations (many of these restaurants get mobbed for SRW), and remember to tip well (SRW can be hellish for servers).
