The restaurant of Thierry Rautureau, one of the Northwest's most imaginative chefs, is an essential destination. Sea scallops, venison, squab, lobster, and rabbit are frequent offerings (vegetarian items are also available) on the prix-fixe menu. Traditional accoutrements such as foie gras and truffles pay homage to Rautureau's French roots, but bold combinations of local ingredients are evidence of his wanderlust. The service at Rover's is excellent -- friendly but unobtrusive -- the setting romantic, and the presentation stunning.

Dont go for the service

We've been several times before but went for my wife's birthday last week. Food was great, of course, but service was perfunctory at best (and at $150 a head it should be great). We even had to tell teh waiter we wanted a drink before dinner - he didn't even bother to ask!

Sorry, but for the price and hype, this just didn't hold up. Maybe we're too recently returned from Europe and still going through "food shock," but while the food was good, it wasn't great by any means, and the service wasn't what I'd expect from a top establishment.
