The Sixgill

Did I ever mention that at this time of year, Seattle is amazing with a capital "A"? Seriously, it is almost enough to to make me and Stuart second guess our plans to move to California, because the water and the forests and the mountains and the food all come to center stage when the sun is out and it's 80 degrees. We constantly have to remind ourselves that 9 months out of the year, this place is gloomy and overcast and that California is sunny almost all year round. Yes. Ok. Bring on the U-haul.

Beautiful sunny days often go well with beer drinking, preferably complete with attractive outdoor seating at a place that also serves good food. Last week, we went to an awesome new spot called Sixgill that has been in Fremont for about 3 months. It has a fun outdoorsy theme and is owned by a couple who opened The Noble Fir in Ballard, another beer joint we love (but Sixgill has better food options). We shared the fingerling potato skins with goat cheese, and I had the most amazing grapefruit beer from 10 Barrel Brewing - I highly recommend it for those who like a sweeter, fruitier tasting beer.

PS: You may have noticed a few changes to my blog design that I hope will make navigating the site much easier. The top navigation bar now provides links to all of my recipe and restaurant posts, so that you can browse those categories to your heart's content. I hope you find something you missed seeing the first time around!
