 Understated glamour and old-world elegance set the tone for the Hunt Club's formal dining room, housed in the Sorrento Hotel, which has served as a gathering place for First Hill notables since 1908. The restaurant, however, dates to 1981, and broke new culinary ground on its opening. Today’s kitchen is more capable than cutting edge, but chef Matthew Mina does an impressive job with his menu of classic Northwest dishes. The seasonal menu might include seafood linguine with mussels, clams, prawns and salmon; or braised lamb shanks with sweet shallots and sour cherries. Start with a garden fresh salad of baby greens and mixed berries tossed with a white balsamic vinaigrette, or indulge in succulent steamed Penn Cove mussels. Desserts range from comforting apple cobbler to warm croissant bread pudding with caramel sauce. The circular Fireside Room off the hotel’s lobby---with acres of Honduran mahogany and gilt frames on Old Master reproductions---is a grand spot for afternoon tea or a well-constructed cocktail. The weekend brunch is perfect for special occasions and for impressing out-of-town guests.
