Tell me about good places to take a date for lunch in Seattle

tech_hunter

So I have a lunch date with this girl on Saturday, I need some recommendations for places that serve a good lunch in down town Seattle. There are no dietary restrictions I am aware of and I am open to anything excluding sushi. I am looking for a bit of an intimate atmosphere, so no coffee shops or bars, or other places with a whole lot going on that would be a distraction.

Thanks guys and I look forward to experiencing some new places in Seattle

Price range?

Noodle ranch was good, but a bit casual. Haven't really eaten anywhere else for lunch other than sushi/pike places.

Took my girl to Wild Ginger during last PAX and it was really good, though pricy. Next PAX we're going to go and just order a bunch of the satay - the entrees were good, but the satay was the draw.

Purple Cafe is good (Downtown area)
or Black Bottle (21+, Belltown area)

I was going to recommend Black Bottle, but it isn't open for lunch.

Definitely a favorite, though.

As to price, cheap to moderately priced is fine.

I mean I have eaten at cheap places where the food was fantastic and I have eaten at real expensive Fine dining establishments where the food and service were awful.

I am liking Six Seven for the atmosphere and prices seem pretty good.

Salumi's is more in Pioneer Square than downtown, but the food is good, and it is mildly famous in restaurant world, while maintaining pretty reasonable prices. Be warned that the interior doesn't necessarily look like much.

Getting in there during lunch is a serious time investment. Very serious.

Cafe Campagne

Save that one for the second date, though. Six Seven's the first choice.

Personally I'm a fan of Etta's Seafood for a mid-range lunch date with an intimate atmosphere.

However, I do not know what the wait time might be on a Saturday.

If there's good weather this weekend (and there is supposed to be), Cafe Campagne has a very nice patio.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I think six seven will be the place to go this time. Keep the suggestions coming though because I would hope this is the first date among many and I do enjoy finding new places.
