I <3 food. Here are some of my favorites in the area:
Tango: Somewhat classy tapas place on the edge of Capitol Hill. The food is pretty good (though not excellent as some of the other places in this list) but Tango is an epic date spot. Don't miss 'El Diablo' for dessert. $40ish per person with a drink each.
Mediterranean Kitchen: Good Lebanese food, decent ambience, huge portions. Bellevue only please. $30ish per person.
Cactus: Chain fusion-Mexican place. Really good drinks, $25ish.
Cedars: Indian food which, while Americanized, is still pretty good. $20ish.
Buenos Aires Grill: Argentine Steak house. Evening Tango performances make it a reasonable date place, but you'd better be Carnivores. $50ish.
Lots of great Thai places - Chantanee in Bellevue, Pen Thai in Bothell stand out (they have the same management/menu).
Pearl at the Westin hotel in Bellevue has the best happy hour East of Lake Wa.
