; 7 Boston St; mains $14-17; 11am-9pm Tue-Thu,
11am-10pm Fri, 8am-10pm Sat, 8am-3pm Sun; ; 13)
Sounds like an old greasy spoon,
but, on the contrary, Grub is clean, fresh and new. Playing to the Queen Anne posh
family demographic, it offers hearty, healthy spins on classic American dishes. The in-
teresting salads are singled out for praise and the kids menu is one of the best in the
city.
PARAGON BAR & GRILL
AMERICAN
$$
( 206-283-4548; 2125 Queen Anne Ave N; mains $12-22; 11:30am-2am Mon-Sat, 10am-2am
Sun; 13)
The Paragon is a bastion of American regional cooking, specializing in
grilled fish and updated classics. Try the baby back ribs or a plate of fried green toma-
toes. There's an open fireplace and a lively bar scene (the bar's open until 2am). Most
nights there's live music or DJs playing everything from indie rock and hip-hop to funk
and soul.
CANLIS
NORTHWEST, AMERICAN
$$$
( 206-283-3313; 2576 Aurora Ave N; mains $36-96; 5:30pm-late Mon-Sat)
This place is
old school enough for either prom night or your grandma's birthday dinner. The tradi-
tional, classic food and service are both top notch, and you can rest assured that none of
the style is affected. Canlis has been around since 1950 and its authenticity shows. The
view is lovely, too. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekends.
