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.

A Visit To Sweet Iron Waffle Bar On Capital Hill

We Seattle peeps have it good.   Because Sweet Iron just opened another location on Capitol Hill and this one has a mimosa bar.  Called Sweet Iron Waffle Bar, they have more seating and a bigger menu then their other one in downtown Seattle on Third Ave.   When I walked in, I noticed the bright and yellow hues and the high ceilings.  This Sweet Iron feels more like a restaurant then the quick, eat and go feel of the one downtown.  This would be the ideal place to have brunch on the weekend, sipping a mimosa and eating a Liege waffle topped with goat cheese.  The authentic Liege Waffles are made with a brioche style yeast dough and are topped with pearls of sugar and a caramelized top. Each waffle is made in front of you and they have a nice assortment of savory and sweet to satisfy every craving.  We tried three waffles, the Herbed Goat Cheese with Honey and Walnuts, the Roast Turkey Breast with Havari Cheese, and Raspberry Jam, and a sweet waffle with cookie butter.  We loved them all.  There were four of us eating, so it was a light lunch.  But it was fun to sample the waffles at the new location and the mimosas weren't bad either!
