Mbar is a rooftop bar overlooking South Lake Union in Seattle, WA. I am not sure what the m stands for, but it should stand for magnificent. Both the views and the food are incredible!

Teriyaki Salmon + Veggies

The PNW is known for great, fresh salmon and they are right! It is too bad that salmon is one of my least favorite options.

Anyways, the restaurant hadContinue reading “Asparagus with Soft Boiled Egg and Crispy Prosciutto”
