Outstanding new waterfront restaurant in Seattle !
Adolph Hitler, Ryan O'Neal, Don Mattingly, Jessica Lange, Carmen Electra,
Luther Vandross and I all have something in common. Along with 1/365th of the world's population. In observance thereof, the Mrs and I checked out the new Buena Vista Restaurant on North Lake Union. (Where the Lakeside formerly stood, just south of the freshly vacated berth of the "Kalakala"). The restaurant has been open about three weeks. If you are going to be in Seattle for Opening Day, with or without your boat, check this place out! Cuban Creole cuisine. The whalloping bistec was cooked perfectly- just barely crisped and not quite blackened on the surface, but tender and juicy within. Mustard and blue cheese topping was oh so sweet! Baked yams and crisp green beans on the side. Hot fresh bread to dip in oil with garlic and pineapple. Very special. Mrs. had a pork chop. She was smiling with every forkful. I had a drink that was rum and lime juice, with a crushed mint leaf mixed in. Very nice. Tres leche flan para postre. Service was attentive, waitress was charming and intelligent. Bill was about what you'd expect to pay for a decent, but not extravagantly priced meal. (Would have been a lot if the food and service wasn't exceptional) The owner of the restaurant came to our table when we had finished and thanked us for dining there. He invited us back on Friday or Saturday night, when they plan to have live Cuban music and dancing. This sort of personal touch will probably disappear once the place gets going, but it is certainly refreshing for now. If you have reciprocal privileges with Puget Sound Yacht Club you could tie up to their reciprocal dock and walk about 3 minutes down the road to Buena Vista. There's a dock out back of the restaurant, but I think it's private moorage. If not, this place will be jammed with boaters once word gets completely around. I refuse to bring my boat in through the locks just to go to dinner.....so I didn't check out any moorage options beyond the obvious reciprocal at PSYC. PNW boaters,,,,,,if you haven't heard about this place already- you heard it here first. :-) |

Twain? As in split in two, or a "pair"? Shania is a beautiful woman, no doubt, but I think Carmen has her out-Twained. |

I'd like to think I had enough love for both. It would be quite the cruise. Wonder if I'd last all the way to the 'Society Islands'? |

If your ticker gave out I am sure that your socialist health care would take very good care of you... :^) |
