My wife and I will be blowing through town next month and we'd like to have a nice dinner on a Fri. Night. Suggestions?

Take the whole afternoon/evening and swing by the studio and I'll take you to Jak's in Issaquah. Mike L. and K are just up the road as well!

Thanks guys. It looks like Chezshea is out of business. Too bad.
