I finally made it out to the Kawali Grill - sans the Captain and accompanied by the dear Rear Admiral of Ranier Beach. Verdict: DELISH! Service was touch and go, but the food was worth it. They let us have a late breakfast, and the eggs benedict was excellent and full of creamy goodness, as promised. The Rear Admiral had a Filipino breakfast, the Marinated Pork & Fried Eggs “Tucilog,” which was awesome. We'll be going back for sure. We'd be there for breakfast more often if we knew the real hours - the door says they open at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, but they don't seem to actually open until 10 a.m.
Its good we found a new restaurant, because the Columbia City Ale House recently jacked up the prices of every dish on their menu. We thought they were overpriced before - now they're so expensive that you might as well go to La Medusa where you'd get much more for the price. We plan to do just that.
Perhaps we'll be spending more time at Kawali, Lottie's (nice new sign!), and maybe even the wine bar . . . .
In other news, it appears that Susan's has closed - perhaps doomed by their own inconsistency - and rumor has it that a kosher pizza place might be taking over the space.

A handwritten sign on the door of Susan's says it's re-opening as "Susan's pizza, pasta, and pub" - seems an odd choice, given that Pizzuto's is right down the block.
Quite agree about Columbia City Ale House having already high prices. Sorry to hear they're going up even more. The food (esp. Mediterranean Platter) and grog (Fullers ESB) are great though.
If you haven't checked out the Ethiopian place that's tucked away on a side street a couple of blocks North of the Ale House region, do! The prices there are really reasonable, and the food is great. So is the heney wine, if you have a sweet tooth.
