A Wine Lovers Dream!!

by finewinegirl

I met a friend in the bar this week and was blown away by my 80 choices for wines by the glass. As if that wasn't difficult enough, I also had to choose if I wanted 1, 3, or 5 ounces of said wine......

The wine list is more of a "book with chapters" with many delicious wines to consider. I started with 3 ounces of Veuve Cliquot Rose', 3 ounces of Caymus Cabernet, another 3 ounces of Waters Bordeaux blend and finished it off with a 5 ounce pour of Cullin Hills "The Dungeon" Syrah.

That equates to 14 ounces of "good God!"

As mentioned these wines are kept on a preservation system that regulates pour amounts, temperature, and is said to keep wines fresh for up to 24 days.

If you are a cork dork at all - you deserve a trip to Bin Vivant to check it out for yourself!

• Pros: 80 wines by the glass! Beautiful view!
• Cons: can be a bit pricey

Great Food, Incredible View

by nddagwood

This is the only place in Seattle or the Eastside that you can sit at a table by the lawn, with incredile views of the lake and no wind whatsoever. I think because this restaurant is in a hotel, not everyone knows it is here. But the food is better than its neighbor restaurants and the ambience excellent. It is the perfect place to sit outside on a warm day and look at the beauty of Lake Washington. As for the food, it is excellent and the menu constantly changes reflecting local ingredients and specialties.

• Pros: The view is incredible
• Cons: None

This is a great place to bring people from out of town. Most people don't know it even exists. Good food and good service.
