  The detail to buy local is unsurpassed in the city. Not to mention the food is real good.

  Anne Catherine is committed to local organic ingrediants. Her is very good. The Sunday Night communal dinners are fun, and reasonably priced. Give this local place a try it is worth it!

  I took a group of 6 friends here Sat. morning, all of us for our first time. The setting was homey and sunny, the service very attentive, and the food delicious and beautifully presented. We made a reservation due to the size of our party and the restaurant had no problem accommodating us. Some of the menu items were pricey, but there were plenty of yummy choices at lower prices as well. We'll be back!

  We went here last night for the weekend dinner thing they do. First course, ancho pepper, carrot and chicken soup. It tasted fine -- 80% broth, 20% stuff -- but it was so close to being cold. I don't care if you have to microwave it -- serve soup HOT. Second course, pork carnitas, wheat berry spanish rice, black beans and shredded cabbage. Nothing spectacular. It tasted like something you would get at a friends house. The friend who wants to cook well but just doesn't have the experience. Third course, baked pancake with honey. It had honey, and that's what saved it. All of this, plus tea, for two = $75. For that amount of money I expect something great. This was far from great. Very, very far. We can go to some of the finest restaurants in Seattle and get blown away for $75. We MIGHT try breakfast here. But I doubt it.
  
  I like what they're trying to do here, but the execution -- at least on this night -- was lackluster.

  I've tried the brunch a couple of times but just can't get excited - nice fluffy omelettes but their skillets ain't so good (I didn't read the menu that said eggstra for eggs; next time it had eggs included but on top not blended in, so dry/greasy) - however a good local restaurant for those in the 70th St. zone...
  
  And love the bakery over the road...

  This place's breakfast really made me miss the Neighborhood Cafe. Meh.

  Just went to Caprice Kitchen last night for dinner. An amazing 3 course meal! Without wine the total was only $35, which for this quality is great. All ingredients are local and organic. If you haven't checked this place out do so!

  I'm so bummed. I wish this place was good, but it's not. I agree with the PP, it's like eating at your friend's house, except your friend's not such a great chef. Oh, and your friend charges you around $12-15 per plate. Gah.
  
  PLEASE get a new cook or go take some classes. I'm watching the restaurant slowly die (reduced hours in summer?!).

  A friend and I had a great brunch here the Saturday before last. We feasted on a just about all Washington-grown ingredients: a great omelet with potatoes, greens and other goodies, and delectible French toast. This is no re-incarnation of the Ballard Denny's; instead, more like downtown fine dining by a near-celebrity chef, in a cozy neighborhood vintage storefront. We will be returning!

  Went on Sunday for brunch, we were sitted right away and our order was taken within 15 minutes but it took over 1 hour to get our food. The skillet was good but the omelett was burnt and horrible. A little pricey for what you get, not sure we will return.
