Spanish restaurant at 55th and 35th in Seattle?

[kkbriggs]

There's a brand new Spanish restaurant next to Nana's Soup Kitchen on 55th and 35th - kind of Laurelhurst, kind of Wedgewood, maybe? Does anyone know what it is?

I was there a few months ago for a wine tasting with tapas through The Spanish Table, hosted by Catherine Reynolds, and husband Ken who works in the wine industry . She blogged about it http://madeleine.typepad.com/my_weblo....

I particularly loved the croquetas, squid, and paella. The owners owned a restaurant in Spain for years and have been at this location for about two years.

I'd give it a try.

Here is the blog address again. Somehow it got cut off. The entry for Gaudi is half way down the page.

And find in March 2007 archives

I know it is un-houndy to quote second hand information, but I swear my mother taught me everything I know about food anyways. She said they thought Gaudi was okay, though a little pricey and found much better value at Bilbao, next to metro theaters on 45th.

What's the verdict on Gaudi? Just reading about it in Seattle magazine and tempted to check it out.

tried the lamb shank. The piece i had was tasty but old (some of it was dark and hardened, perhaps too long uncovered in the fridge?)-- maybe better to try something else there. The server/bartender had a tendency to wrap his fingers/palm around the top edge of your glass (whether water or wine), disconcerting since he also had a cold and was wiping his nose with the same hand etc. Very friendly place, otherwise. Could use some sherries/ports/malmseys etc.

I haven't been there yet (but am dying to) but it's called Gaudi and everyone I have talked to who has been there has loved it.

Thank you!
