When my sweetie and I arrived at new West Seattle restaurant Spring

I look forward to sampling more of the People's Picks winners, in the favorite place to dine with kids category. I certainly saw several of my favorites on there. And I wondered -- which specific qualities make a restaurant family-friendly for you?

Everything's coming up roses for Ethan Stowell. Within the past year and a half, the 34-year-old owner and executive chef of Union
not only got married, he also launched two much-lauded restaurants,
made the James Beard Foundation's short list of finalists for "Best

Want to wow your sweetie this Valentine's Day? The odds are that the usual cards and teddy bears won't get you very far. Instead, think unique, personalized, and exceedingly romantic. Both men and women expect romance on Valentine's Day —and a gift that will remind them that they're loved beyond February 14. We enlisted Cupid's help and scoured the city for gifts that said "be mine."
