@synec @jessekelber @jay hmm, I haven't really been to Belltown/downtown much in a while, and a bunch of the places I knew there have closed. But let's see...

- Shiro's was the canonical Seattle sushi restaurant, at least until Shiro moved to start Sushi Kashiba in Pioneer Square. Both are good choices but I'm not sure how hard it is to get a reservation today.

- Wa'z is an excellent fancy kaiseki restaurant. Definitely need reservations but I don't think they're too hard to get right now.

- Lola is a solid vaguely Mediterranean restaurant from one of Seattle's ~3 restaurateurs

- Matt's in the Market is in the most touristy spot in Seattle and has a great view, and somehow despite that also has really good food

- there's some good hot pot restaurants in Westlake - Hai Di Lao is a Sichuanese chain (perhaps a lame suggestion since there's at least one in the Bay Area), and Qiao Lin is another Sichuan-style one that I haven't tried but recommended by @skinnylatte
