Perfect for after the theater, ballet or opera, this see-and-be-seen spot is on lower Queen Anne Hill. Orange walls and IKEA-esque furnishings form a sleek backdrop. Grill specials feature whole fried striped bass, fresh broiled salmon or smoked pork tenderloin. But most patrons just crowd around the horseshoe-shaped full bar or schmooze with colleagues upstairs. Daily from 4:30 pm. 10 Mercer St., Seattle. Phone 206-691-3723. http://www.tenmercer.com.
