RN74

Several months ago I went to a newly opened restaurant in downtown Seattle. RN74 has a wine bar-ish atmosphere, with sleek decor and small portions that are exquisite (and expensive).
I've now been to this restaurant twice, and both times I left impressed. The first time I went here for appetizers and drinks with a friend. We both got the crab bisque, and I had 2 glasses of a white wine (I can't remember what it was at this point, but I do remember that I liked it). We each got a dessert (beignets for me, apple tatin for my friend). The bisque was totally delish, but the price tag for a rather humble "meal" for 2 was nearly $80.

The second time I went here was with my husband, before going to Les Miserables at the 5th Ave Theatre. We opted for the "Pre Theatre" menu, which allows you to choose an appetizer/entree/dessert off a limited menu for $49 pp. I had the crudite salad, Beef Bourguignon, and Chocolate pot de creme. The husband had the crab bisque, chicken coq au vin, and also the chocolate pot de creme. Both of us LOVED our food, although when they first brought the beef out I thought it wouldn't feed a small child, let alone a hungry adult. The meat (what little there was of it) was incredibly tender and flavorful. The dessert was absolutely to-die-for, and I'd go back just for that. We also ordered a $44 half-bottle of red wine, which was also tasty.

All in all, we enjoyed the meal, but I'm not sure it was worth $150+. I'll be back, but probably only for drinks next time. Maybe for that dessert, too. :)
