What: Monthly Sunday Supper

Where: Ventana, 2323 First Ave, Belltown

Why you should go: Food tastes better over conversation, so the Ventana folks serve family-style. Executive chef Joseph Conrad kicks off the convo by personally introducing the three-course spreads inspired by a rotating regional cuisine. Past menus have hailed from northern Italy—that one meant entrees of stuffed goose, a buckwheat noodle bake, and polenta curiga, with flatbread pizza to start and Nutella panna cotta or almond rosewater biscotti to finish—as well as Cuba, Greece, and Thailand.

Cost: $25/person for three courses; $15/person to add wine pairing

Reservations: Highly recommended; call 206-441-4789
