Eating in Seattle

It's my second day in Seattle - I'm here on Adobe Flex training business.  After being  in the classroom from 8 to 6, having a nice dinner helps. I was told that  Seattle is  famous for seafood, and there was a seafood place called Bonefish right by my hotel (belongs to  the Outback chain).   Boring place and boring food. Today, I decided not to take chances and asked for referrals at the hotel's front desk, and they've suggested a place called Pasta Freska. On my own, I'd never even noticed this place, which is a small rancho squeezed inside a road fork. It's very simple inside as well. The owner of the place started the dialog:
"Is there anything you do not eat?"
"No"
"How about a glass of wine?"
"Thank you, but I prefer beer tonight"
"I'll bring you Peroni from Italy"
"OK"

Then I realized that this place does not have a menu. A nice smiling girl stopped by bringing something in a frying pan.
"What's this?"
"Some appetizer"
I do not know what it was, but iIt was good. Then she brought me a  green salad with a home made dressing. When I finished the salad, there was a pasta appetizer, I guess...Then, a  tasty chicken cutlet with cashew nuts. When they brought me a seafood, I asked for another beer, and the owner simply said, "I'll bring you a little bit darker beer this time" -  I did not resist. I enjoyed this game. He gave me a beer called India Pale from Oregon.

"Check, please"
"You did not leave a little room for desert?"
"No, thank you"

Total damage: $31 + tips. 

I have a reservation in a fancy restaurant for Friday night, but  I'll definitely will come back to Pasta Freska again this week. This is an experience.
