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.

Gather

Seattle has a new food delivery company called Gather.  They are a farm to table concept with locally sourced meals delivered to your door.  It's a great alternative to dining out but without forsaking nourishment and flavor.  Plus you don't have to leave your house.  I found the food to be delicious, plus its all made by a professional chef and you can tell.  The quality is there and resembles anything you'd find in a nice restaurant around town.  For doing a review I received three meals.  I chose Rosemary Chicken, Braised Beef Cheeks, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cremeux.  They also threw in a Dry Sparkling Juniper Berry drink.  The Rosemary Chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the chickpeas added a nice touch to the dish.  I really enjoyed the Beef Cheeks and found them to be really moist and almost melted in my mouth.  The potatoes and mushrooms were also good and complemented the beef.  Now for the dessert.  The Chocolate and Peanut Butter dessert was one of the tastiest things I've had.  I loved the flake salt on top and it really brought out the flavors.  It was rich, creamy, and the perfect finish to the meal.
