Tini Bigs Lounge......Another world

Step off of Denny Way and into Tini Bigs and you feel like you have entered another world. No matter how busy, the bar staff go out of their way to welcome you. I have gone in when there was barely standing room and still got a "hello and let me get you a drink" from the bartender.
The staff are knowledgeable of the martinis and can expertly recommend a winner for those that are martini challenged. If you are a single scotch drinker, I recommend the Smoky Martini!

Peso's Kitchen & Lounge

If you are looking for Azteca, this is NOT it! But if you are looking for a new take on Mexican flavors, cheap drinks, and a loud, fun atmosphere this is the place.
Anything with Diablo in the name is "HOT". One of my favorite items is the Shrimp & Corn Chowder. Great flavor and very filling. The Nachos are a must have. Get there for Happy Hour. Same menu items at a fraction of the price. The "Hang Over Breakfast" is just that. But be prepared to wait for a table. Big portions at the right price.

Mecca.......Drunks Servi ng Drunks

This is their motto and should give a clue when to eat here. If you have been to Pesos or Ozzies or any of the other Lower Queen Anne water holes, and it's 2 am and you feel like you will eat anything, enter the Mecca. Between the dim lights and your blurred vision, you won't notice the dirty silverware and lipstick on your water glass.
You can count on greasy food and a server with an attitude.

Lark......Overpriced Underachiever

Four of us decided to give Lark a try. Upon entering and a recent Sunday evening we were surprised to find most of the tables empty. By the end of our "meal" I think I understand why. Lark bills the food as "small plates". It is actually "large plates" with very little food! Each item is barely enough to be considered a portion. The food to price ratio is ridiculous. Our server was adequate but not very engaging. The atmosphere was like an army barracks with tables. Seating was uncomfortable and begs you to eat and get out. The food itself was uninspired. While the menu description made the items sound interesting, the execution was lacking. The gnuddi was just ok. The 3 cheese plate had such a small sliver of each cheese it was laughable (crackers extra$). The salmon had skin on which would be fine, but they left the scales on also. Veal sweetbreads were laying in a bland sauce and overcooked. Deserts were pretty good and they have a small but decent wine list.
They are too many better choices for small plate dining in Seattle. The owner(s) should try being a customer in their own place and see if they would come back.
