West 5 co-owner Dave Montour told me he and his crew have seen about nine new restaurants pop up around West Seattle since they opened, and that was just back around the turn of the last century. With all the culinary hubbub in these parts, you might think that a menu sporting simple, American, eat-at-the-bar dishes like nachos and mac and cheese might not have staying power. But because the former are topped with salty, delicious cotija and a fantastic ancho chili sauce, and because the latter is from another planet (in a good way)—and furthermore because West 5 has a great retro-future feel and the drinks are actually designed for drinkers—West 5 has all kinds of staying power. Best dish on the menu: roasted corn and green chili tamales. Best retro dish on the menu: the sloppy Joe. LAURA CASSIDY
