Romantic Dahlia started the valentine-red walls trend and it's still working its magic on Seattle couples. It's cozy and then some, but the food plays its part, too. Crab cakes, served as an entrée or an appetizer, lead an ever-changing regionally oriented menu. Other standouts are seared ahi tuna, near-perfect gnocchi, and such desserts as coconut-cream pie and fresh fruit cobblers. Seattle's most energetic restaurateur, chef-owner Tom Douglas also owns Etta's Seafood in Pike Place Market, and the excellent Palace Kitchen on Fifth Avenue. But Dahlia is the one that makes your heart go pitter-patter.

The ambiance is like the lettuce - wilted. Evidently it was a destination at one time, now its more like a den.
