Seattle restaurant recommendation, even though the name is ridiculous

Revel. Revel? Revel.

I don't really know if this is a trend elsewhere in our Nation, but here in Jet City, people seem to like to name eating establishments with active oriented words (either nouns or verbs, but generally can be either) that don't have any meaningful connection to anything. Revel. Crush. Crash. Pair. Joule. List.

Does this happen elsewhere in the Nation? Are we too far from the centers of knowledge?

Just for kicks, I drew some words from a recent speech by a prominent person interested in being the leader of the free world: Confess. Convert. Capture. Crisis. Power. Desire. Block. These too might be good restaurant names, for those uninspired.

Revel. It is quite good. It is fairly cheap. Sit at the counter. It is loud and hot. The food is excellent and "urban style Korean comfort food". Two of us porked out, BOO ($15) - 99 Weinbach Pinot Gris CdCapuchins/Catherine, with tip and tax
 
Thanks Brad. These are the Joule folks right?
Y works around the corner, but we have not made it yet - this may push us over the edge.

On with the names, have you been to 'Hunger' yet?
We have not, but apparently a success, they are moving to bigger quarters.

The other curiosity in Seattle restaurant names would be the obscure likes of 'Walrus and the Carpenter', 'Staple and Fancy', 'How to Cook a Wolf', and so forth. Have not seen much of that sort of thing in other places.
 
And yes, you better bring wine. What a teensy wine list. Joule was like that too.
What's up with that?
Golden Beetle's is small as well, though a bit expanded recently.
And they have both white and red Musar, so everyone here would love them I guess...
