Tourist in Seattle

<p>Be Warned.
I agree with this review.
We go here, once every fifteen years or so- just to see if it has improved.
It doesn’t unfortunately- it just gets more expensive.

<p>Instead I recommend [url=<a href=“http://www.seattlemag.com/0p38a1541/out-to-lunch-paseo/]Paseo[/url”>http://www.seattlemag.com/0p38a1541/out-to-lunch-paseo/]Paseo[/url</a>], and take your sandwich to the beach across the street. ( or to the Locks a couple blocks the other way)</p>

<p>Every local yokel knows that the Space Needle has been either a bland or ferociously mediocre dinning experience for nearly 40 years. The last time I went, a family occasion, was exactly 32 years ago. It was bad then and apparently just as bad now. Sure, it used to provide a special experience with the view and all. And I loved the Shirley Temple drinks, little knowing that they were essentially just 7-up Soda with a little fruit punch and a cherry. It was the place where I first tasted frog legs. Yum!! But that was a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away, as the saying goes. Since the late 1970s, the Space Needle has been well known as a place primarily for out-of-towners, tourists. Locals avoid the place like the plague. But I am totally NOT SURPRISED that the greasy spoon in the sky rakes in more profit that some luxury Manhattan restaurants. As long as the money continues to roll in, the owners won’t change a thing.</p>
