Dinner: Wednesday August 6, Bamboo Garden

Bamboo Garden is a kosher vegetarian Chinese restaurant and one of the special delights of Seattle. Even though it is 100% veggie, if you bring inattentive guests along who don't pay attention to the menu all that closely, the faux meats (and faux salmon!) will likely fool them into thinking they are eating carnivorously. The dining experience is old-school: prompt service by professional servers wearing formal attire, in an ambiance of slightly shabby gentility. The location near the Seattle Center allows for all sorts of post-prandial amusement as well. Please RSVP on this one; if we have enough folks, we can get a private room. Let's call it 7:00 pm, okay? (Here's a report on a visit we made last year.)
