Mioposto

Instead of running like I planned, I walked around 6 miles from Seward Park to Mioposto along Lake Washington Blvd.

It's nice to have a place in the neighborhood that's perfect for the summer--open-air seating, great pizza and salads, and ice-cold beer. And, Mioposto is dog friendly, so I can take Koya with me.

The name Mioposto means “my place" in Italian. The name fits very well with the restaurant's warm, casual atmosphere. I just hope that it stays in business.

Over the years, I've never seen an owner stay for more than a year. Past tragedies of the same location include Baker's Beach Cafe (two or three different owners), The Rose Club, and Mikonos, which had fantastic potato pancakes and was a great place for brunch. (I miss going there on Sat. mornings).

This time, though, Mioposto is managed by the same company that runs the 5 Spot and Coastal Kitchen, so I'm hoping they will fare better :).

I had bruschetta and wrote for a while in the early evening sun.
