Our anniversary is Saturday and we would like to go to dinner. Recommend a restaurant for us, we eat anything, would like to keep it under $200 for dinner/drinks.

El Gaucho. We went there the night we got engaged and they went way beyond expectations to make sure it was a special night. Free dessert, they escorted me to the restroom at one point.
We are going to the Inn at El Gaucho, I'm super excited!
There is one in Bellevue and Seattle. I haven't been to the one in Seattle yet, but will be Tuesday night.

We loved Aqua by El Gaucho. It's right down on the waterfront and the food was amazing.
We ate at Matt's in the Market (Pike Place Market) a few years ago and it was great.
Also love the Stumbling Goat on Greenwood.
The Pink Door has great Italian food and a romantic atmosphere. And if it's nice out you can sit on the patio.
For our anniversary a few years ago we went to the Jewel Box at Mistral Kitchen. You can get a 4-course or 8-course tasting menu and the chef makes what he/she wants for you. The food was fabulous but I wasn't as impressed with the ambience.
This happened to me there, too. The maitre d offered me his arm and said something about how a lady should not be walking alone in a restaurant full of those waiters. I was quite amused.

We just went to Lescho for our anniversary dinner take 2 and it was absolutely amazing. Perfect service, great food, etc. With cocktails, appetizers, a bottle of wine for dinner, and dessert it came to about $200 or so. Another fabulous meal is Crush. Might be a bit over $200 (I can't quite remember) but really good. I also love the Book Bindery (we went there for Valentine's day this year). Super romantic, again delicious food, and a really good wine list.
John Howie Steak is amazing. We went there for H's birthday. I had a groupon We had dessert, 2 bottles of wines, 2 entrees and it came to about $250. You can totally share an entree and that would drop the cost way down. I wish I knew this beforehand. They give you big enough portions that you could definitely share.
Everyone there was super friendly. I was shocked at what a great experience it was. I thought we'd feel a little out of place and that someone would jump out and yell "You don't belong!" That never happened
