you can't ask for much more than that.
my last review of seeds was somewhat mixed. we had some great dishes and some that were just okay; however, we went here the other day for lunch and were really impressed. we started out by sharing the fried calamari appetizer. it was excellent. my wife had the fish and chips, and she loved the fish. it also came with fries, which were good, and slaw, which was well above average especially if you added the juice of the lemon wedge provided with it. i had the avocado & pepper bacon burger. it was cooked perfectly to medium rare and was one of the best burgers i can remember eating in a long time. it was that good. the serving sizes were ample (we didn’t need much of a dinner that night) and the food was great. you can’t ask for much more than that.

lots of ups and downs.
this place has an interesting menu, although the online menu is a bit out of date. we had high expectations, but ended up being somewhat disappointed. we started with a couple of martinis. they were substandard. for our appetizer, we had the jalapeno poppers, which were outstanding. they were huge jalapenos with a tasty cheese filling and a nice batter perfectly deep fried. they came with an interesting dipping sauce which was not at all hot but complemented the jalapenos well. this was one of the best jalapeno popper dishes i have ever had. my wife had the cougar gold mac & cheese with a cup of northwest clam chowder. the clam chowder was great. she rated it as one of the best she has ever had; however, she didn’t care for the mac & cheese. it didn’t have the complexity and creamy texture of a really good mac & cheese, and also did not have enough of the bread crumbs/butter topping that really makes this dish sing. i ended up eating some of it and agreed. it was better than any version of this dish you can buy in a supermarket, but nowhere near the quality of what you can make at home with a good recipe. i had the dungeness crab cakes with garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini. the potatoes and broccolini were very good, and the crab cakes were not bad, but also not exceptional. they appeared to be deep fried, which is a little unusual and not really necessary. two sauces accompanied the dish: a sweet chili sauce and a traditional tartar sauce. i didn’t care for the chili sauce, but thought the tartar sauce was one of the best i’ve ever tasted. so, this dining experience had lots of ups and downs. when it was good, it was really good. when it was bad, it wasn’t really bad, just average. my guess is that there is a lot of stuff on the menu that is really good. we definitely intend to go back.
