The Heathman is a little above my palate and pocketbook Take that into consideration with my comments. \r

I had the entree crab cakes. One of the better crab cakes I've had. $14 for two. I was expecting at least 3, but I found myself more than satisfied. I guess I'm too accustomed to traditional American portions. Sauce was tangy and flavorful. \r

My wife had the clam chowder, which she said was one of the worst she's ever had. She places more emphasis on the tenderness and multitude of the clams, rather than the actual soup portion. She said there were no clams. This is in comparison to some clam chowder she had at Pike Place Chowder, which she raves about. She also had a salmon entree, which she enjoyed thoroughly.\r

Others at the table had the ceviche. There was one comment about it being smothered in mayo, but I heard nothing more derogatory. They ate the whole portion, so it must have been pretty decent.\r
\r
The service was attentive, but unobtrusive. Very elegant, professional decor, but the white paper on the tables seemed a bit low rent for this establishment. I think just the white table cloths would have sufficed. And as with most any popular restaurant, it was quite loud. \r

I would go again to try some other menu items.
Pros: Decor, service
Cons: Minor items that didn't infringe upon the meal or the occasion
