Well here it is, our first flog(food blog):
Casuelita’s
(206) 770-0155
81 Vine Street
Seattle, WA 98121
The food: The food here was very good, they have an extremely varied menu, some of which I don’t think is true Caribbean, but who cares, its fun!!
The taste ran the gambit from spicy, a la the prawns to tangy like the ribs.
We had a selection of tapas(or small plates) which were brought out together on a lazy susan. So the presentation was unique and functional.
The service: was very good the waiter was friendly and put up with us asking for recommendations, and gave us some good ones.
Ambiance: the restaurant is two floors with the ground floor dominated by a surprisingly well stocked bar and a few small tables.(Read very nice and cozy) The upstairs is the “proper” dining area and very nice, especially if you can get a table near the window which yields a partial view of the water.
Price point: for the amount of food we ordered, oh and a cocktail as well :), the pricing is very reasonable. To top it off they appear to have a great happy hour with decent drink and food specials as well.
Miscellaneous: the one glaring drawback to this spot is the availability of parking. Be prepared to either park and pay, park and walk or get lucky.
If however you have a hankering for some good, varied food, and drinks served in a fun casual atmosphere that won’t intimidate your wallet check this place out.
