The nice thing about this would be once we bring out the guillotines to cut the 1% heads off we at least know where they are dining at.

If you can afford to pay $32 for FRIED FUCKING CHICKEN you aren't being taxed enough
enough

no, you're just choosing where to spend your disposable income. I could save up for months for a special meal and get this.

Did you actually go? Do you live in Seattle?

The Crocodile and Coterie Room are on 2nd, not 1st.

Of course, Zoë was--and Coterie Room is--on Second Ave not First. As is the Crocodile.

But, hey... you made it a full one and a half sentences in before messing up, so iI guess that's som'fin! (Is this what happens when editor's edit their own work? ;)

it seems every "nice" restaurant in seattle has entrees edging towards $35. except skillet. i can eat a dozen oysters at home for $8.

I'm a bit confused, doesn't chicken need to reach a temperature of at least 165 degrees to be safe?

@ishf Not necessarily. If you cook your chicken so it reaches 165 even for a brief moment, you'll almost certainly have killed enough salmonella to make it safe (assuming the chicken was properly stored/handled).

If you cook your chicken to 148 you'll eventually kill just as much (or more) salmonella. The catch is that you have to keep it at that temperature for much longer. That's where fancy equipment comes in. And yes, 5 hours is plenty of time.

Just ate there.

The atmosphere is cold but bright. They need some warmth and art. The chairs - except for the wall of banquettes are uncomfortable - cushions please!

You may receive one tiny roll, but it's good.

There are too many people working (there is no need for 2 hosts) and I'm so tired of constant water refill - leave a carafe already!

We splurged for a celebration. $32 for the chicken worked because we looked at it more like $16/ea.

It is tasty, but everything is overly salty. And the chicken is disturbingly pink - probably worse than one might think given the dim lighting.

We were reassured that the sous vide process kills the bacteria, but still...pink freaking chicken. Very off-putting.

Everything has bacon/smoke in it, too, so it's all savory and proves my theory that the best high end dishes taste like fried bologna.

The mac and cheese is good, but you've had similar versions. You can always add ham or bacon to your own at home. Try a different app.

The fried chicken is tasty, but weird.

No dessert - it felt like an afterthought anyway - hire a pastry chef!

The hostess made us feel very unwelcome and basically put us in the worst place by the front door - they need to hang a curtain to keep the cold air out.

Our server was super nice, but needs a sandwich badly - not snark, actual concern.
