Tosoni's Restaurant, Bellevue

This is candlelight dining with a view of owner/chef Walter Walcher in his open kitchen. He usually works with a partner, and their tandem efforts can become mesmerizing. Walcher nurtures loyal customers and makes new ones quickly. Customers of every ilk, from businesspeople to romancing couples, fill the cozy booths. Everyone raves about the Garlic Lamb. Vegetarian options include pastas and exquisite dishes with wild mushrooms. Walcher has a growing reputation for mushroom mastery. And there's always cake for dessert. The restaurant is smoke free.
