Default Visiting Seattle in April... Good Eats?

Hello folks! I'm visiting Seattle with the gf in April and was wondering where should I go eat? We won't have a rental car and will be staying near downtown (on Madison @ Renaissance). So our plan is to bus, cab, or walk around the area. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Yep everyone who tries it Loves Dicks ( it's a Washington thing). There are a lot of great places to eat around there. The hotel people I'm sure can direct you to some good places near there. I'm down in Oregon now but I'll bet there are some peeps up there that would meetup with you and show you around. Have fun.

Yeah, let us know when you are going to be in the area, I'm sure the peeps up north could put together a meet and greet while you are here too.

Everytime I go up to Seattle I usually go to Uwajimaya and eat at one of the Chinese food places in there. Pretty good food I would recommend

take a cab to roy's bbq and order the georgia gold. the best pulled pork sandwhich!

and if you like vietnemese pho, try the cambodian noodle soup at phnom penh in chinatown. much better than pho.

M2 mentioned Joey's. Joey's is an upclass Hooters, only difference is that the 18year olds with huge ***** wear a black top instead of a white t-shirt. My friend ordered a blue hawaiian there, and it came out pink.... seriously. Whatever floats your boat.

Downtown theres tons of great places. Seattle is a melting pot of different cultures.

Sport (right next to the Space Needle) has amazing burgers and chili. It's a great place to watch a game, as every booth has its own tv.

Seattle has some of the best seafood in the world, so don't go to Ivars or Anthony's! They are nothing special at all. Blah! Saltys/Rays Boathouse/Seastar (just opened in Seattle) are all amazing places. As for steaks, Daniels Broiler or the Metropolitan Grill.

Thanks all for the suggestions! Are there any real mind-blowing seafood places (under $200 total and will not be booked solid)? The gf & I are big fans of oysters. Maybe Joey's has good oysters and I can use that as an excuse to go there!?! We also love good sushi.
What about this Salumi place on 3rd? Hype or not? Is there a better or comparable place @ Pike?
Last time I was in Seattle a loooong time ago there was a all-you-can-eat hot pot place in the Int'l district that was pretty good. Does such a place still exist there?
Again, thanks for all your input! =)

We're not big drinkers so bars & clubs don't really peak our interest. GF is not down with the sticky icky so poo-poo on that idea. I personally wouldn't mind since its been over a year!

it was a joke ........but the PNW is pretty famous for it..........lol

Oysters........now that actually is easy.......goto pikes place market and get them.....then walk straight up the hill in the market at the north end to the kitchen utensiles store and get a shucking knife and you are set.......or I bet they will shuck them right there for a couple bucks more.........or did you wnat to goto fancy restaurant to have the ambiance.

Now that I think about it I probably won't be packing fancy clothes to go to the fancy places. Perhaps a collared short-sleeve shirt is about as fancy as I'm going to get! We're planning to go through Pike's and you bet we're going suck down a few oysters there.
