Dine around Seattle at Palisade!

I love $15 lunches at nice restaurants.  For the entire month of March, Seattle has a wonderful $15 lunch or $30 dinner deal at very nice, fancy restaurants that I normally would not go to.  A few of my friends and I had the day off and decided to enjoy time together as well as food! Without further ado, Palisades....

Beautiful day for a lunch with friends

Gray weather is normal in Seattle, but it turned into a beautiful day as we had lunch overlooking Elliot Bay. I really enjoyed having lunch at Palisades.   From the starter salad to the main entree to dessert, everything was well done.  The steak was the winner of the day.  It was cooked medium rare and was so tender and flavorful with perfect unburnt charred edges! Dessert was rich, but satisfied my chocolate craving.  Although the service was a bit slow, it gave us time to chat and enjoy each others company.  We strolled out along the water after lunch, what a wonderful day!
