Whether you’re looking to avoid the dinner rush at seemingly every favorite restaurant spot on the weekend or simply want a way to unwind with a stiff drink and a good meal after work, why not meet a coworker, friend, or date for a Monday through Thursday dinner? These Seattle selections offer a mix of casual dining, weekday specials, and events to tide you over until Friday.
