And I agree with Joe Boyle, Vive Bene serves great food (especially their Italian wedding soup). My favorite for lunch is "Steeped in Comfort," the Tea Shop right across from Clover Park High School. They serve lunch, high tea, and children's tea parties. They are only open mid-day. They serve the BEST SCONES on earth!

I can hardly wait to try it out for myself. Sir, I would like to make an unsolicited suggestion wrapped in a question. Would you be willing to explore another local neighborhood restaurant; this one in the City of Lakewood? The name is Vive Bene. Owner, Kim Jimenez, is friendly; has an interesting dual career profile and does a wonderful job along with her chef and crew in making a visit to Vive Bene a wonderful experience. They have everything from wine bar, specialty coffee drinks to full meals followed by mouth watering deserts. I am not wanting to take anything away from Bairs. I hope our communities explore and support both establishments. These are not big chain establishments, yet they are earning our support. Thanks, Joe Boyle - Lakewood resident 1969 Opps. A P.S. on my previous comment. Vive Bene is located at 11126 Gravelly Lake Dr SW in the old Clover Park Shops in the corner of 112th St SW and Gravelly Lake Dr SW across from Clover Park High School. Their phone number for reservations is 253-588-8989. Since I am being so positive, you might think I have a financial interest. I do not. Thanks for your consideration. Dave,
