10Best Says

Ask around, and you'll quickly discover that Wild Ginger is a definite Seattle favorite. The James Beard Award-winning restaurant that introduced the satay bar to the U.S. also welcomes an eclectic mix of business people, families and celebrities. Fragrant Duck is the signature dish, but the Princess Prawns and Hanoi Tuna are excellent choices as well. The lively atmosphere is made even better by friendly servers and live jazz, which is a Monday night specialty. Attached to popular, subterranean music venue Triple Door and its Musicquarium Lounge, this is the perfect spot to grab a delicious meal before hearing live tunes; why not make a night of it?
