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. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Celebrating my sons' birthday at Maggiano's in Bellevue

 

A slice of Layered Chocolate Cake with chocolate mousse for dessert at Maggiano's Little Italy. 

To celebrate my sons' 9th Birthday, we took them out for dinner in Bellevue at Maggiano's. We'd been for brunch in the past, but we hadn't tried their dinner items yet. The Italian dishes looked really good, plus they have a promotion where you can take home one of their Classic entrees for just $5 if you order an entree. I took home the Taylor St Baked Ziti with Italian Sausage. These dishes are prepared fresh every day and you take them home and bake them. 

I started with a Red Sangria. It tasted pretty sweet and took a while to drink. They brought some fresh bread to the table and poured some olive oil and balsamic tableside. They have a kids' menu, so my sons ordered the Ziti pasta. One son had Alfredo and my other son had butter on his pasta. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Herb-roasted Chicken and my husband had Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. The portions at Maggiano's are huge. Our entrees were each enough for two people. I had a lot of leftovers from this meal! 

During our dinner they had two women playing violins. Our server knew it was our sons' birthday, so when it was time for dessert, one of the women came to our table and played our boys 'Happy Birthday' on her violin. It was so pretty and a special experience. They received a plate of the Lemon Cookies. We also ordered the New York Cheesecake with Strawberries and the Chocolate Layered Cake with chocolate mousse. Both desserts were delicious and a perfect way to end my sons' birthday dinner!
