Perched above the ship canal and looking towards the blue Fremont Bridge, the Tuscan-style villa is refined yet relaxed. Dine in the simple, posh dining room, or on the romantic patio, one of Seattle’s loveliest outdoor dining spots. The Dungeness crab spring rolls are a must, while the Thai curry penne---a signature dish---includes generous chunks of Dungeness crab meat and grilled diver scallops under a fresh basil chiffonade. Bouillabaisse fans will enjoy the fragrant broth kissed with saffron and a splash of Pernod, and brimming with tiger prawns, Manila clams, Penn Cove mussels and scallops. For a sweet ending, choose the lemon tart or the trio of custards with generous portions of chocolate pot de crème, espresso crème brûlée and white chocolate crème caramel. The restaurant expanded its cozy lounge into a stylish, informal café that offers a topnotch happy hour and a less expensive menu. Order a three-course dinner for $20, smaller portions of several dishes from the dinner menu, or just go for the pommes frites dusted with sweet fennel salt and served with garlic aïoli. An extensive wine list offers a good selection of Northwest wines and a range of price points. Service is friendly and professional.
