Crow Restaurant and Bar
I'd always heard about Crow. People would tell me Oh, that place is supposed to be good. But I never actually met anyone who ate there. And know I know why. The waiters look like Belltown assholes on a casual Friday, with their rolled up striped shirts and Diesel jeans. The restaurant was crazy crowded at 6 pm on a Wednesday and we waited for 15 minutes, thinking well maybe this place will be great after all. I mean, look at all these smiling faces, conversations and food on clean white plates. But when we ordered our fish and risotto we were totally underwhelmed. Both plates were over $15. The cod, or special of the day, was anything but. It was dry and the red rice surrounding the small piece of lame fish was soupy, and not at all ricey. The risotto came out too hot. Like it was zapped in the microwave too hot and not like it was cooked fresh, even an hour ago hot. Sure, there weren't any pubes or pee in our meals, but I'd never tell anyone that Crow was worth it.
