we arrived at about 6:30, we decided to eat a little early, the dining room was suprsingly RAMMED!!! with people for a week night. we were sat by the window, and there was actually a very nice view for the dark evening, we were able to see the ferryboats come in and out from bainbridge island, and the lights on alki beach made for a nice waterside experience for a december evening. my first course was an amazingly light but still rich tuna poke, the tuna came wrapped in a slice of english cucumber and it was lightly seasoned with the flavors of curry and citrus, surrounded by a somewhat strange but delicious yellow tomato air ( it was more like bubble bath but it tasted like ripe tomatoes?). my date had a a bowl of chestnut apple soup that was so rich and delicious that i had wished that i had ordered that! (although my poke was tasty :) ) the soup came swirled with a toasted orange cream and a perfectly cooked piece of foie gras.
