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!
