This Belltown favorite is run by a native Seattleite, chef Scott Carsberg. The atmosphere is modern and sparse, but mustard-yellow walls provide just the right backdrop for the personal touches the chef adds to the cuisine. The menu features such seasonal dishes as morel mushrooms with zucchini flowers or bluefin tuna belly with citrus. Open Tuesday-Saturday for dinner only. Reservations recommended. $$$. Most major credit cards. 2400 First Ave. at Battery Street, Seattle. Phone 206-443-3301. http://www.lampreiarestaurant.com.
