About 12 years ago, I watched the whole of Frasier, the DVD box set. Because it's hilarious! But now that I'm rewatching episodes after living in Seattle for 8 years, it really is way off about this city.

Café Nervosa has the same color scheme as Starbucks, but definitely not the ambience. And it's supposed to be at 3rd and Pine. Could they have chosen a worse location?

No-one is wearing hiking shoes, the Patagonia/North-Face commuter uniform, grunge clothing. It's only fancy cars too. No Subaru in even a single episode!

Martin Crane does wear Flannel, but it's tucked in! Bulldog lives in a fancy condo, and his favorite sport is ... hockey! None of this makes much sense in Seattle.

A real Seattle episode of Frazier would go something like this: Niles sneakily steals the Kale from Frazier's weekly CSA. Frazier was planning on making the perfect salad for his hiking picnic date in the Olympics. So Frazier has to go to the Farmer's Market to get some ...

Frazier can't find parking, but puts his car in a electric spot near the market for a few minutes, but gets a ticket! This makes him late for the ferry to Kitsap. His date, who is already Kitsap-side, offers to go to Seattle but in some confusion they end up passing each other.

2 Ferry Trips later, it's dark, and they finally rendezvous ... his date is allergic to Kale.

yes: in Seattle Frasier would spell it Frazier. It's hip to be anachronistic. He'd also wear Birkenstocks and canvas shorts, and an iPad with a pencil. It's where he lives, so he'd never miss an opportunity to say "Don't you mean Lower Queen Anne" whenever he hears "uptown".

I know of the total of 1 (one) restaurant requiring a jacket: Canlis. Hardly french though.

Even Canlis is ok about it! You don't need a jacket at the bar, or away from the window areas, and they never seem to be rude about it. I suspect they even have loaner jackets. I'm clueless with fine dining and they've handled me well.
