Waterfront dining on the north shore of Lake Union, featuring outdoor fire pit, cheery beachside seating, sustainable seafood, and imaginative marine fare of the Pacific Coast-- including a variety of fresh, local oysters.

    Although the food was delicious and beautifully presented, note that the lunch menu is quite limited (only two or three main plate choices). The oyster selection (6 kinds) and quality was excellent. The male server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the oysters and menu. The other server who seated us was quite serious, terse, and prickly, but her colleague made up for it.

    Good, not great. Had paella and chicken. Fine. Potatoes were great. Service was good. Rather cold in the restaurant. Drinks were very good.

    It’s a premium price restaurant but ambience, location, service and food levels are also premium.

    Awesome experience! Celebrated a birthday as has been somewhat of a new tradition celebrating occasions at Sea Creatures restaurants. Excellent service and delicious food and the view was awesome.

    Location: 10/10 Food: 20/10 Staff: words cannot describe the poise, humor, complexity, and attentiveness of everyone working here. If I was on death row, I would ask for one night at Westward Xoxo

    Restaurant decided to close early and never notified us, so we showed up to locked doors and not a soul in site. Very disappointed.
