Dinner: Wednesday, August 13: La Isla

This is a wonderful little place on Market Street in Ballard, unusual for its Puerto Rican cuisine. It has a great ambiance, with interesting art and comfortable outdoor seating. We frequently make a meal out of just appetizers, especially the empanadas and the medley de platanos. It should be a delightful evening; I like the place so much the late Ruby Scooter proudly displayed a La Isla sticker. We do need to be aware that the space is relatively small, and we will need RSVPs on this one to make sure we can get a table. Let's call it 7:00 pm again so we can try to mitigate the traffic woes. (And don't forget how tight parking can be in Ballard these days!)
