Dinner for 20: P. J. Clarke's. Usually don't recommend group dinners but if I'm allowed to choose from the menu then it's fair game in my mind. That was the case for this restaurant in the Old City. The chowder was good Seattle Metro, U Village, United States, University District, Washington, West Coast

French bakery in the U District: The French Guys. Very nice addition to the food offerings at U Village. Expect typical French pastries...croissant, pain au chocolat, kouign amann, quiche lorraine...and French breads...it's really a French bakery! Arrive early for the best selections. Northgate, Seattle Metro, United States, West Coast
