I've Fallen in Love on Lake Union

Sometimes, you just get lucky and find those hole-in-the-wall restaurants that turn out amazing. That was the case this afternoon at the Citrus Lounge on Lake Union.

It was a beautiful afternoon and with the sun shining in through the large windows of the restaurant, summer finally felt as those it was on its way.

It was the perfect day to try their classic Lemon Drop that came with added citrus flavored slushy. I felt like I was at some tropical resort. The Lemon Drop, along with many other unique drinks was on their Happy Hour menu for only $5.

Citrus Lounge's drink Happy Hour specials are Monday through Friday, 3-6p.m. and all day Sundays. There food Happy Hour specials run Monday through Saturday, 3-6p.m. and 10p.m. to close.

Since we were there during their food Happy Hour, we just had to order some small plates! We all split a small Caesar Salad, Kobe Beef Sliders (that were amazing,) and, you guessed it, a giant plate of nachos. All small plates ran from $5 to $6 and there was plenty of food to go around.

Kobe Beef Sliders, Sorry it's a bit blurry.

Although the feel of Citrus seemed like it would turn into a night club later in the evening, with its white walls and modern lighting, it was a great atmosphere to share a sunny afternoon Happy Hour with friends!

Not so Much a Fiesta on Queen Anne

Last Tuesday, we celebrated by friend Brittney's 22nd birthday with Happy Hour at Laredos Grill.Nestled on the corner of Taylor and Aloha on lower Queen Anne, we were hoping to get some cheap margaritas but we were proved wrong.

Id like to start by saying, if you change your Happy Hour menu, make sure that you change your menu in all places that it may be advertised. I was hoping to get a margarita during their late night Happy Hour for $4, but supposedly, they don't offer it any longer. This was very disappointing to some of our friends who go to Laredos almost weekly for their wonderful Happy Hour. Although their paper menus in the restaurant explained the menu change, which now only offered discounts on house wine and Tecate beer, their online menu and Foursquare application, still continued to advertise the other pricing.

We kindly asked for them to honor their online pricing and were honestly declined quite rudely. I hate to give a bad review, but with prior experience in customer service, I know I would never speak rudely to my customers.

Although a disappointing experience, some of our friends did stay behind to explain their loyalty to Laredos and ask what may have happened on that particular evening. The manager kindly offered them a $30 gift certificate as well as deals at the bar for future trips they may make to Laredos! It ended up working in their favor!

It goes to show that it doesn't hurt to ask if something doesn't seem quite right!

Excited to head to Happy Hour on Lake Union tomorrow night! Look for a post later this week!

One of the best Happy Hours Seattle can ask for...

Tomorrow begins one of the best Happy Hours that Seattle can ask for. Thats right...Starbucks will be selling half-price Frappuccino beverages from 3-5p.m. But, it's only for a week! You have from May 6th-May 13th to get your hands on one at this great price!
And with Starbucks new Frappuccino menu that they unveiled last summer,there are plenty of different flavors and concoctions that can be created.

I am ready to try the new Coconut Mocha Frappuccino. You may see me in line tomorrow!

What Frappuccino flavor will you go for during their Happy Hour?
