05/05/09 - 94 Stewart Restaurant

We had our biggest group for this outing - Katie, John, Rob, Sean, Candice, Joe, Deleva, Eric, and, well, me. We met at the Cinerama in downtown Seattle. We had an actual hat this time! Katie's choice was drawn, which meant we strolled down to 94 Stewart Restaurant.


(I apologize in advance for the pictures - I really need to remember to use the flash for these.)


The drinks menu, which was highly entertaining

The restaurant was close to the water, and looked pretty small when we got in. They managed to get all of us at one table, though, which was fun. There was butcher paper on the table, and crayons, and, well...



The menu was pretty small, but had a wide variety of items available. The restaurant was also taking part of the Urban Eats promotion, which meant that several of us took part and got an appetizer as well as an entree.

First, the appetizers:


Coconut tomato soup (this one was mine, and it was quite tasty - the coconut was in the form of coconut milk, which gave it a bit of a Thai flavor)


Pea salad with salami and garlic cream


Strawberry and asparagus salad (this one seemed to be a pretty big hit)


I believe a mushroom risotto?

And the entrees:

Fried avocado with a crab salad (Deleva seemed quite impressed with this)


Fondue with toast points (this one was mine, and was lovely and light)


Pork loin with bacon and a chili cream sauce with mashed potatoes (also seemed to be a pretty big hit)


Roasted chicken with vegetables


Hanger steak over mashed potatoes

There were some tarts and ice cream for dessert, which I was a bit too busy eating to get pictures of.

And, of course, the crew:


Back row: John, Katie, Candice, Rob, Joe Middle row: Sean, Deleva, me Front row: Eric
We had a great time, and several people were already asking when and where the next one will be. We will probably be staying in the Seattle area for the next couple of months, since there are so many restaurants to try.

The stats:
Attendees: 9
Food Type: New American
Restaurant Located via: The Stranger

I had a great time. You guys are a riot to hang out with and I can't wait for the Georgetown excursion. The risotto was actually crab and was excellent. The hanger steak was a little too tough for my tastes, which was sad. The dessert was acceptible, but I was too full to fully appreciate it. All in all, I'd give the place 3 stars. Good food, but you can get much better for cheaper.
