Ringing in the New Year at The Pink Door - Seattle

The Pink Door serves uncomplicated (as their website states) American Italian Food...definitely more American Version.  Upon arriving in one of the dark Alleys of Pike Place Market in Seattle, WA, we were told by our Cab driver that the restaurant is straight down the alley and is the first door on the left with the light....upon walking down the alley (no cars allowed), the stubble stones (or whatever you call them), we're as ancient and medival as in the 40's possibly....we see the door, it was an actual pink door, with no sign of the restaurant name (at least we didn't notice one)....we see some people dressed up, going through the doors, we assumed it must be the place...and sure it was....The Pink Door, litterally speaking, it was just a Pink Door.....the ambience was interesting, full of character with very high ceilings....lively of course with a live jazz band that played throughout the evening in their lounge (which is separate from the dining room)...

For New Years, there was a set Four-Course menu for $75, which also included Champagne Toast & screamers & hats for the mid-night countdown.....

They did offer a good selection on their New Years set menu, but like I said, I didn't come for the food, but still was a bit dissappointed as I expected a more traditional italian flavour....

Here is a sample of what The Pink Door had to offer:


Shortbread Cookie w/ Cheese & candid Walnuts to Start!

Appy 1 - Kale Salad w/ Cranberry & Almonds - definitely a healthy choice!



Duck Rissotto - This was Yummy - Anything with Duck is good!

Seared Scallops w/ some sort of sweet sauce (tasted like Hoisen Sauce)



Trio Dessert - a great light combo to finish off the Night !

Would I go back?  yes, I liked the atmosphere and would like to give them another try on their regular menu.

but to all that would like to try, don't expect authentic Italian Food.

Good Martini selection, limited Wine by the glass selection (but i found that with most restaurants in Seattle)
