For my 42nd birthday, Mark took me out for dinner at Flavour Bistro, a new restaurant in Duvall. It was previously known as Fall City Bistro which we had been to once before.

The Hard Wok Cafe opened a location in Bellevue last summer after many successful years in Seattle’s International District. They serve Taiwanese cuisine, not a cuisine I’m very familiar with. I can only recall one other Taiwanese restaurant that I’ve been to, Facing East, which I also blogged about three years ago. It’s hard to… Read More Hard Wok Cafe

They have locations up and down the West coast from California to Washington. I’ve never been to one or really even heard of it until the International Food Blogger Conference but they have been… Read More Veggie Grill
Pizzeria Credo is located in West Seattle on California Avenue. Their rave reviews and gluten free pizza crust is what drew me to try them. I have to admit it’s been a couple of years since I’ve actually had any pizza and this was my first gluten free pizza so this was a real treat… Read More Pizzeria Credo

Urbanspoon made reservations for all of the attendees to have dinner at different restaurants all around town and even took into consideration those with dietary restrictions.
