While Canils, a longtime family restaurant is one of the most expensive in the city, the views are worth going, if you just sit in the bar. The views are great, they often have live music and the drinks are superb. If you feel a little spendy try the Dungeness Crab cakes. There is a dress code: no shorts, no sneakers and a collar on your shirt. The customer service is second to none.

Great seafood and steak restaurant. This place has been around for years all with the same owner. While the restaurant with its great views of the action of the Fremont Bridge is a wee pricey, the bar, which Michael works wonders making drinks, it a great choice for lounge food and much more affording dining out of the same great kitchen.

Great, large outdoor patio, just below one of Seattle's most famous restaurants (Palisades). Save money while still enjoying the great views. Mostly a boating crowd with bar/lounge food, but great service and pricing. Go on a hot summer day for lunch, but it can get crowded at peak summer and lunch time.
