Ok, probably should go to Regionals but need more views. I am a Seattle local but in need to find a classy place to eat for homecoming, I know quite a few but want to get more suggestions.
-Its senior year and taking a really close friend to homecoming, her father just passed away and now she's moving so trying to make this extra nice :)
-Trying to find a nice, classy, elegant, laid back place. Price is not really an issue unless its like ridiculous
-Trying to find something like french or european, anything classy and elegant will be considered
-Location is also key, places like Downtown, Capital Hill, Queen Anne, or Freemont are places I would like it to be in.
-++++++K for good answers, Im a local myself, so Im not trying to go to Dicks, Mamas, and something stupid like that.
-Thank you NS

The Space Needle. Might be too late to get a reservation but it's dope as fuck.

"That's Amore" on the lid. It's really great Italian food, and it has a superb view of downtown. It's not so much classy, but more like an at home feel. The waiters and cooks are super nice. Prices aren't too bad, but more expensive than a usual sit down restaurant. Call ahead and ask for a table next to the windows.

I have never had a bad time at Anthony's. There's a real nice one at Shilshole Bay (Golden Gardens basically) so that's not too far from the places you listed. It's on the water, has great seafood, and is not overly formal while still being fancy if that makes any sense. That was by far my favorite homecoming/prom/date spot.

There's this super dope classy as fuck place called Mickey's Own in Seattle that I went to once. It has reasonable prices, and operates under a no-reservation policy which is fairly unique in the industry. I'd recommend showing up early. If you're taking your date to dinner at say 7:00, show up no later than 5:30. Seriously, just plan on this place and your night will be amazing. Address:

122 Madison St, Seattle WA

Give them a call if you want more info, or just trust me and show up. 206-622-1280 If you mention you know Ronald (has some big affiliation with the restaurant) they will probably speed up your service and make things extra nice.

Seastar in Bellevue is fucking awesome...never had a bad meal there, or even a marginal one. Also the ones already listed are great too.

try "Tilth", its small plates and hella good. a little bit more on the pricy side, but still reasonable. also "Poppy" is good, its like a take on indian food but its the chef from the herb farm, so its very classy.

Ponti's. Might be on the pricey end, but damn that place is good. It's right on the water so if you have a nice day sit outside.

Cafe Bizzaro. Despite the name, very VERY good italian food. Its very Fremont, very strange interior, but very nice. Great sort of off the wall date place.

Ohh, actually I just remembered. This dude at my school's dad owns a restaurant called Rovers in Madison Park, or I guess Madison Valley (near the City People's) that's hella bomb.

Yannis (i think thats how its spelt), greek food
red mill (not very classy, but amazing burgers)
Bicks, not dicks
La Casa Azul is one of my favorite restaurants ever, killer south american food!

afterward, go to Molly Moons, hands down they have the best ice cream in seattle
