Sleepless in Seattle

We were determined to indulge in the best Pacific Northwest seafood that Seattle had to offer.  We were barely off our flight, quickly checked in at the hotel and our conference before heading over to Blueacre in downtown Seattle for a late lunch or early supper.  We all ordered different entrees from the $15 dollar tasting menu.  I had a lovely lobster bisque, crusted Alaskan ling cod and a spiced apple cobbler for dessert.  I haven't had cod in years because frankly I think of it as sort of a boring choice but this cod was absolutely sublime.  We paired it with a lovely Washington state chardonnay recommended by our delightful and knowledgeable server, the name of which I regretfully have forgotten.  On Saturday we had a lovely, leisurely lunch at Cutter's Bayhouse overlooking the sound where I spotted this painted wall mural with a quote from Ovid. Perfect, for the bohemian in all of us.
