I won't have a car, so I need to keep it from around Pike's Place up to 7th Ave. near the Mall.

Steelhead is very down home comfort food with a modern twist. Matt has left Matt's so I can't comment on how the food is this last month, but I fully expect it to remain one of the top places downtown!

Try the catfish sandwich! and sit at the stool bar unless you have a group with you. They give wonderful drink and wine suggestions and I loved my bartender/server with the thick black glasses Thu Aug 28 15:09:03 -0700 2008 3993695 72839 natalie.warner 1 3995290 I've never had a good meal at Steelhead, despite several visits. Haven't been to Matts recently but I also haven't heard any bad reviews of it. I do, however, love Cafe Campagne for brunch or lunch (and enjoyed the two dinners I've had at Campagne as well).

The corn on the cob and fried smelt, in particular, are out of this world.
