Openings
Two very non-suburban eateries have or are opening shortly on the Eastside: Black Bottle and Munchbar. A full service restaurant and lounge, Munchbar is now open in Bellevue Square adjacent to the skybridge to Lincoln Square. Describing itself as "a social dining experience" and "a lively modern pub concept," Munchbar is patterned after a restaurant with the same name in Las Vegas' Caesars Palace. Think kinetic music, oversized blackboards for scribbling graffiti, and a playful but hip vibe. The menu focuses on seasonal comfort food. What might be surprising are the impressive credentials of its chef, Seis Kamimura, who was formerly executive sous chef of Spago Beverly Hills, Postrio in San Francisco, and the short-lived but uber-trendy Artisanal Brasserie in Bellevue. Adding to Eastside excitement, Belltown's cool gastro-tavern Black Bottle is opening an Eastside eatery later this month in the Avalon at 10349 N.E. 10th Street, Bellevue.
Formerly known as Lobsterpalozza, the prince of lobster fests in Seattle is now known as Lobsterfest. Waterfront Seafood Grill's sixth annual lobster celebration continues throughout January with a focus on succulent Maine lobster. The special lobster menu includes lobster bisque, lobster sliders, lobster risotto with asparagus and black truffles; lobster salad with mango, fennel and passion fruit; and lobster tails with water chestnuts, miso and orange. For reservations, please call (206) 624-4060. Waterfront Seafood Grill , Pier 70, 2801 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98121, 206-956-9171.
The largest wine store in the Pacific Northwest recently opened in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. Occupying 23,000 square feet, Wine World Warehouse was started by Northwest sommelier David LeClaire, and offers more than 500 Washington wineries and more than 6,000 wines from around the world. Open daily from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m, it features two 30-foot tasting bars as well as a selection of artisan cheeses and charcuterie. Up to 10 different wineries will be highlighted each evening with special tastings. There's also a private event space available with stellar city views. Wine World Warehouse , 400 NE 45th, Seattle, WA 98103, 206-402-6086.
Lunchbox Laboratory, considered one of Seattle’s best places to grab a gourmet burger, has moved from its small Ballard digs to new quarters in the South Lake Union neighborhood at 1253 Thomas Street. Expect the same pricey ($10-15), luxuriously juicy burgers served Tuesday through Sunday.
