Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Lunch at Intermezzo Carmine

Arancini and an Old Fashioned cocktail from Intermezzo Carmine in Pioneer Square.

A quick Google search told us it was an Italian restaurant. So we decided to grab drinks and an appetizer for a Valentine's Day light lunch. We had already eaten a little at home before we headed downtown.

The interior was quite notable with a gleaming bar, unique light fixtures, and marble tabletops. The tables quickly filled up as we waited for out drinks. I had a Sparkling Rose and my husband had an Old Fashioned. My drink was so bubbly and crisp. Then we shared the Arancini- rice balls with cheese that are crispy on the outside. These were soft and I tasted goat cheese. And I'm a sucker for goat cheese so I enjoyed them. I liked the comfy banquets with huge pillows and the European feel right in the heart of Pioneer Square.
