After having visited the Experience Music Project, the Sci-Fi Museum and Hall of Fame, shopped at the Westlake Center and explored downtown on foot, we were both hungry and exhausted so we ducked into the Elephant and Castle Pub located on the lower level of the Red Lion Grand Hotel.
This British-style pub and restaurant is dimly lit for a comfortable, homey feel, and we were seated next to a fireplace and a bookcase loaded with classics. The service was very classy, friendly and attentive without interrupting the flow of our meal. Ty and I started off the meal with a pint of on-tap Guinness. Ty had never had Guinness on tap before, but after this I think he knows why I sing its praises. With a thick foamy head and little black rings on your glass as you drink it down...heaven.
I was determined to have one of their authentic British pub meals so I opted for the Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding which was roast beef and caramelized onions stuffed into a Yorkshire pudding and topped with delicious gravy. It was absolutely delicious, as were the accompanying red skin garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.
Ty chose the Jameson's Chicken, probably just because he's a fan of the whiskey. He turned out to be an equal fan of this tasty chicken dish that consisted of a grilled chicken breast smothered in mushroom-whiskey cream sauce. Matt followed suit and ordered the Guinness Meatloaf with Guinness-braised vegetables.
The Elephant and Castle was one of the restaurants we enjoyed in Seattle. The atmosphere, service, and food was superb.
