Lowell's Restaurant Seattle

Allison from New Jersey! (12/04/2012 @ 7:30AM)

 

Thank you New Jersey for allowing someone as wonderful as Allison to visit us in Seattle!

Allison, sitting on our top floor was waiting for her Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict and stopped me as I was walking across the floor to ask what the big crane-like things over in Seattle’s Port were, so I stopped and we chatted. Allison gave me the best unsolicited review about Lowell’s since Ron & Ashlea (you two still win the GOLD, since Bill and I both we’re sitting next to you, and you had no idea who we were) and Allison had no idea I was involved with Lowell’s!

Damn I love our staff for putting it out right, for our location which never gets tired or boring and most of all for our guest’s and the beauty they grace our establishment with. I mean that respectfully, Allison (and Ron & Ashlea), I am proud for the unsolicited feedback. As well, if we “mess up, we fess up”, so please let Jeremy or myself know if we ever get it wrong. We’ll make it right, right then. But we think everyone will enjoy our home as much as these guest’s, and that’s no PR!

 

 

Cheers, ~Mark

Two Days away from our LOWELL’S BLOG…

… was like two days without coffee, mind-numbing! Getting back to computer access and into the hideaway we are lucky to be, well, it’s addictive.

The holiday music, the little white lights strung around garlands and the smell of sizzling bacon & espresso brewing are the smells and sights of love.

Practice “Mindfulness” today and every day, wherever you are, and our market and smells and cheer and light can be seen in the clouds and the rain and the trees and the earth, its as easy as taking a moment of gratitude instead of granted!

Cheers to this moment, and cheers to all reading this, Lowell’s loves you.

Smell our home-made holiday spiced Fresh Washington Apple Cider, spiked with spirits, then bottom’s up!

We go two doors left out our north doors and grab a couple gallons of FRESH Washinton State apple cider, spice it up with cinnamon sticks, cloves, grate some nutmeg in it, throw in a handful of allspice berries, crystalized ginger, dried cranberries and of course a bunch of chopped up apples!  Heat it all up and let the spices get to know each other, pull the fresh apple essence from the apples into the fresh Woodring Cider, reduce it down a bit, then strain out the spice chunks. We then add some local dairy butter and heat it back up! Spike it with a deep rich dark rum and a little Italian Tuaca, and Santa has his foot on the throttle, while we have control of the bottle!

Thank you Ron & Ashlea!

Without a picture of Ron & Ashlea, this view will be substituted until they come in again and maybe allow me to take their mugshot!

I wish I had a picture of your smiling faces to post here, but in lieu of that, a view out of our 3rd floor windows. Thank you both for brightening up our 2nd floor with your smiling presence as often as you do (all my “staff” love you, by the way) but ALSO, for the great gift of “Loveless Cafe’s” Old Fashioned Peach Preserves & The Loveless Cafe’s Bisquit Mix (from Nashville, TN. www.Loveless Cafe.com)!

We’ll be firing the bisquits up in the next couple days, and sharing them while the rain whistles against the windows. It’s friend’s like you that make our restaurant a warm “living room” instead of just a place to eat. It’s all about sharing the love, and you two pesronify “almost classy”, just like we do!

 

Cheers always,

~Mark & all our family at Lowell’s
