(FOOD) If you're in West Seattle, you'd be wise to stop into Blackbird Bistro, a classy
new blue-hued restaurant specializing in organic, seasonal food, brought to you by the owners of Mission. The last time I ate there we devoured a delicious mix of
pan-fried whole trout, baby-spinach salad with pecan-encrusted goat cheese, and
garlic-rich sautéed calamari (with peppered ahi), all of which was affordable and very filling. (
Blackbird Bistro, 2329 California Ave SW, 437-2875. Dinner seating until 10, bar open until midnight.)
