I am just glad to see the plywood and visqueen gone. The renovation looks great. The brown paper looks ghetto. Maybe the Endolyne Joe’s chain can use it? Maybe the Cactus up top? Agree on the Lead Robin… ew.

We need more restaurants in West Seattle and especially in North Admiral. As a family who do not like to leave the neighborhood after a week of battling downtown traffic, this is great news. We eat out once a week and are sick of the same old places. I hope something good moves in and kid-friendly. (Red Robin need not apply).

It is nice to see an owner of a classic old storefront building keeping it in good shape.

I remember it being a soda fountain when I was a young child. I loved sitting on the tall stool and having a chocolate coke.

Are there a lot of “foodie” restaurants in Seattle with dedicated parking lots? Since moving here, I’ve felt that part of the dining experience is going to the neighborhood and driving around looking for parking and you often notice a few other places you want to come back to and check out. Obviously, that won’t work if you’re handicapped or have other mobility issues, but I deal with that by dropping off my limited-mobility family member out front, then parking.

I live in the Admiral district and go out to dinner at least twice a week – sometimes walk, sometimes bus, but never drive (and thus never park). Looking forward to another option. Tom Douglas would be awesome!

I’ve heard Tom Douglas might come in there. Wouldn’t that be great!!

In reply to miws. Caffe Fiore is almost directly across the street, in a building built by the developer who owns and remodeled this one, so not sure if coffee would work, but FWIW I wondered that too.

Upon reading yesterday’s article on Diva still looking for a new space, my first thought was this building, but I couldn’t remember if tenants had already been announced in the two week ago update.

I wonder if Diva would qualify as an “experienced restaurant operator”, in the building owner’s mind?

Foodie. This past Saturday evening I had dinner at a lovely neighborhood restaurant in Madrona near 34th and Union. Two outdoor dining areas, a great inside area…great food, wonderful live jazz, and..it was street parking only. No parking lot…but business was brisque…lots of regulars, lots of neighborhood people who brought their kids. So, what you are claiming is not necessarily true. Put in a good business with great food, and they will come….there are neighborhood people all around there…

In reply to Foodie. The area already has more than half a dozen restaurants - do ANY have parking?

A restaurant??? No parking = no customers.
