Dick’s is fast. Really fast. And for what it is, it’s really good. But Boka, the restaurant/bar on Hotel 1000’s ground floor, isn’t expected to be fast.

There’s simply no better place for a classy power lunch when you absolutely have to be back at the office in an hour flat. MIKE SEELY 1010 First Ave., 357-9000, bokaseattle.com
