Avanti re-imagined as Biella
Avanti at the Marriot downtown has been made over. It's now Biella by Ruth Michelle and offers more than just the regular spa. Among the to-be-expected spa options there's stuff for individuals like the girl's night out or the men's executive escape. Couples can even do mud chamber thing or a 5 hour $500 "indulgent escape". There's still a salon and massage but now there's also espresso and a boutique with gifts like hand-crafted jewelery, unique books, handmade cards and candles, and clothing.
Sarah's enjoyed having her hair down there when it was Avanti but some of those other spa treatments are definitely something we could treat ourselves to sometime.

A little dizzy from the Sushi Revolution
I met up with a few folks from the office for lunch on my day off at the new Sushi Revolution [ map ] restaurant over by the Tacoma Mall. They boast the longest sushi conveyor belt in the Northwest -- and I believe it! I was cheerily greeted right when I walked in and found my cohorts lined up in a row facing the moving sushi line. I sat down and started to browse... A handy cheat sheet helped me figure out what was what and, likewise, some color-coded plates on the wall translated those colors into dollar amounts. The spicy tuna rolls I ate were great as were the gyoza, the miso soup, the seared eel, and the battered octopus. Yea, all around tasty. Since there are really just seats facing the conveyor it's not a good place for large group interactive meals. But for a few people it's easy to get comfortable and watch as all sorts of good food comes and goes -- and comes again.
