"I return to Seattle's Cassis Bistro for the fine food and service," writes Eleanor O'Keefe of Seattle, Washington. "In addition to the regular menu, there are always some fantastic seasonal specialties. I'd love to make one of their salads—it has dried cherries, bacon, and a blue-cheese vinaigrette."
