Jennifer C. says: "The people are great, the food is pretty quick to come out, and the pulled pork is YUMMY!"
Wesley M. says: "My favorite has to be the Bohemian! It has an old world feeling to it with dark hardwood floors and a large oak bar. They also frequently have live music. Although they're known for their happy hour, I prefer their brunch, more specifically their cast-iron breakfast with 3 eggs, spinach, racelette and smoked bleu."
Lisa K. says: "Their "crack chicken" (garlic fried chicken with little caramelized bits of garlic and batter) totally lives up to the name, and the flavors in the pumpkin and prawn curry were surprisingly complex."
Wesley Z. says: "Get the Turkish Delight sandwich (turkey, cream cheese, mango chutney on honey wheat). Mmmm."
Tracy S. says: "Spring Hill has amazing food and their brunch is one of the best in the city. Don't miss the popovers with sausage gravy to start and the apple beignets to finish."
Tracey F says: "What you get: locally-sourced seafood so fresh you can taste the ocean in very bite; sustainable approach to its menu; fantastic domain name (sushiwhore.com) that screams with as much personality as the restaurant itself."
Nicole L. says: "Love sitting on the top deck here on a sunny day - eating a Smoked Salmon Salad!!!! YUM! Washing it down with a Cucumber Mojito."
Chelsea L. says: "This Alki Beach eatery may not have the best food in West Seattle (that honor goes easily to Spring Hill), but the combination of mimosa + Sunday brunch buffet + sunny Seattle day is an immediate recipe for happiness. The buffet is pricey, though worth every penny, and great to take out-of-towners."
