In Seattle/Redmond for an evening - what should I do?

Hi everyone. I'm going to be in your lovely city briefly in mid-November. I'll be there for a series of job interviews, so I probably won't have more than few hours in the evening to kill. I'll actually be staying here in Bellevue, but I'll have a rental car so I can drive into Seattle if that's where the good stuff is. What should I do?

In particular... does anyone know of any really good sushi restaurants? I'm not too concerned about the price. I love sushi and I'm betting Seattle has some pretty good places.

Toyoda Sushi. Wait to sit at the bar. Talk to the Chefs. If you know even a tiny amount of Japanese use it. You won't regret it. Make sure you come hungry.

If you don't want to go far, check out Bell-square and the Lincoln Center in Bellevue. There's lots of nice places to eat. There's comedy and pool a The Parlor, etc.

Wasabi Bistro in Belltown for more modern sushi.

Nishino in Madison Park for sushi & modern Japanese cuisine - not cheap.

Shiro's in Belltown for traditional sushi - Shiro gave me my first sushi when I was nine years old.

Generally I feel like threads like these folks should first check out Yelp or UrbanSpoon (see the link on the sidebar to the right?) and come back with questions about specific places they've selected via these restaurant review sites.

If you want an idea of what Nishino is like, download this cookbook (Free). It's looks pretty amazing.

Pro tip: If you are interviewing with Microsoft, you should ask them for a few days to explore the city. They'll put you in a hotel for the time you are here and extend your rental car.
