Where's the Beef?

All Steph wanted was a hamburger. Which usually isn't that hard to find, but man...we just weren't getting lucky at all on that front. There was Thai food, sushi, more italian and coffee. Those were our choices, so we bounced around a bit until we finally came across some old-fashioned pub-fare up in Queen Anne in the form of a bar called Hilltop Ale House. We tried one place beforehand called How to Cook A Wolf (thankfully Wolf is NOT listed as a menu item), but there were literally five choices for entrees and although the restaurant was ranked as one of the top ten in the city, we already had Italian the night before, so we grabbed a glass of wine, took in the Hobbit-hole like atmosphere, and decided to head elsewhere.

So after leaving Hungry Like the Wolf we ended up at the Hilltop, which was a neat little microbrew pub right on the main strip in Queen Anne. We looked around at a few other places, but this seemed the most appealing. The menu was pretty straightforward...I got the Steak Sandwich and a cup of Italian Sausage Stew, while Steph got her hamburger with chips on the side. They had a really great selection of beer, of which I only had one, a Porter called Scuttlebutt, which I'd be more than happy to try again. It ended up being a good choice for dinner and we had to laugh about how appropriate it was (due to an intense fear of all things 'wolf') for Steph not to like the menu of Peter and the Wolf, or whatever the hell it was called. It was a perfect end to what really turned out to be a very relaxing day around town.
