I admittedly didn't look too much into the dining seen in Seattle when planning our trip, so once we got back to the Seattle Marriott Waterfront, I jumped onto Yelp to see what was good around us. For our first dinner in SEAtown we eventually settled on Spur Gastropub. Located a quick 10-15 minute walk from our hotel, Spur Gastropub is a somewhat small restaurant with a … [Read more...] about Spur Gastropub [Restaurant Review]

Le Bistro Montage
Our last night in Portland meant one, final meal with our friends. They didn't tell us where they were taking us, said it was a surprise.

Kailua is actually home to many famous breakfast places, the more well known ones being Cinnamon's and Boots & Kimos, but in my opinion, Moke's is the best.
