Midrange
The 5-Spot
A busy diner with an ever-changing theme based menu and decor to match. Sometimes it's New York City, sometimes Hawaii. The food good for a reasonable price, but be prepared to wait during busy periods, especially weekend brunch.
Phuket
A cozy and well-appointed Thai restaurant across from Dick's, Phuket is a neighborhood restaurant in a downtown location. It can get very crowded, especially during events at Key Arena. The menu is not as extensive as in some other Thai restaurants, but has ample selections to choose from. Try the Green Papaya Salad or the Panang Curry with Salmon.
Lunchbox Laboratory
Previously, Southlake Bar and Grill, it has now been converted to the new location of Lunchbox Laboratory formerly in Ballard.
Jillian's Billiards on Lake Union
American cuisine and prime sports viewing. Over 30 premium billiard tables, ping pong, darts, an extensive arcade room as well as the latest gaming systems such as Xbox, Kinect and Wii.
Top end
Canlis
Great, high-end restaurant , with a wonderful view overlooking Lake Union and Queen Ann Hill. Live piano music. Best to make a reservations well in advance a week or two ahead and dress well.
Queen Anne is a relatively upper-scale neighborhood, and generally the restaurants rise to the occasion.
