Make Mine a Marazul

Seattle's foodies are all abuzz over Marazul, a new Asian-Cuban-Caribbean inspired restaurant which is just next to the Pan Pacific Hotel. Chef Bruce Dillon has aimed to create island luxury- and living- at a reasonable price. Well, one thing for sure that will get diners in the island mood will be the in-house rhum bar, which stocks over 40 varieties. The menu takes inspiration from around the world. There's fusion tapas on the menu like jerk pork potstickers with guava plum dipping sauce and pad thai with prawns, scallops, clams, Chinese sausage and coconut curry sauce. In the tatami room try the watermelon, ahi tuna, and miso ceviche or shrimp adobado sate.  During the summer, Marazul will also be serving sugarcane snow cones laced with rum on the outdoor deck. Now that's almost as good as a real Caribbean getaway. Marazul, 2200 Westlake Avenue, Seattle (206)-654-8170.
