Seattle - Looking for food and drinks? This is the book 4 You!!!, 2007-05-29
I describe myself as someone who likes to get to the point. I don't want a lot of fluff and having been a graphic designer, I like a travel guide that is simple, organized, and brings me to the must see places in town.
This is it! Get this book! You want to know where to go plain and simple - this is the one to get. I find myself lost and wandering around guide books that are so rote with information, that I feel like I am reading a user's manual for brain surgery!!!
The book includes maps of the areas you would like to go, it gives you upfront information of what to expect and look for when you get to Seattle, it organizes the restaurants by type of food, most recommended, and more. It is an easy read.
Enjoy Seattle and other locations, as I would want to reference this book for future excursions as well.

 I would recommend other guidebooks, 2005-10-31
I think this is a pretty awful guidebook. After doing going onto Seattle Citysearch, we found a lot of recommendations that weren't even mentioned in the book. Ivar's, Crabpot, that had raving reviews, and even mentioned in the city's free brochures weren't mentioned. It didn't really tell me what they thought about each place. I don't want a babbling description of a place, but more of "great food!" or "don't miss!" or "it might not be worth the money"
Some of the Top 25 attractions I would question. For example, Pioneer Square was very desolate on the weekend. From the locals, we got the impression that it's more a nightlife center. Also, if you're not into doing every little touristy stuff and spending the money, i don't think you can find anything to do, according to the book!
For a person that's going for the first time trying to find out what is good to see or do, it is awful. The brochures and maps collection in the hotels and stores were more helpful, and that's sad.

Great book for visitors, 2003-10-05
We keep a copy of this book in our guest room. Lots of people who have stayed with us have used it and have been very happy with the information it contains (short trips to take or activities to do in and around the Seattle area).My only criticism is that the section with restaurant recommendations is lacking -- but the dining culture of Seattle changes so frequently that this isn't a significant negative for a general-purpose "Best Places" book.
