Come for brunch, and reserve your table for dinner. It's that good. Get the clam dip any time of day. Andrew Knowlton's BA review was spot on. No detail was missed, the space is impeccably designed.

Two top by the bar gets you a view of the sunset, a peek at all the weirdness in the decor, coziness of a private table, and shelter from the elements. You'll want to take your time with dinner here.

The new brunch menu hits it hard with winners like the wood-oven fired Montreal-style bagel with salmon gravlax and labneh and the bloody mary with savory dill aquavit. Save room for bread pudding.

This is one of those hidden gems that is worth the effort to get into. Beautiful views and amazing food. One of the best oyster bars in town with a cocktail list to match.

The Avocado Toast was amazing - crisp and fresh, but still hearty. We also got the Dutch Baby to split between three people, which was a perfect sample if you’re not a big sweets-for-breakfast person.

Mediterranean-inspired food like halibut crudo and wood-baked gigante beans in a whimsical, beautiful dining room that was nominated for a 2014 James Beard for restaurant design. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Nice seafood- oyster, fish and octopus! Nice cocktails too. Make sure you have a reservation, wait time could be very long.

Seating in the atrium is nice and quieter with a beautiful view. The oyster selection was amazing and they had a special caviar appetizer that was delicious as well! Great for date nights!

The service here is excellent, as is the food. I ordered the cauliflower soup and Spanish sardines, and got these donut things for desert....called "takamattes" or something like that

The views are incredible, but if you don't get a table with a view, the décor is awesome too.

The artic Chad was excellent! The margarita quite strong though. Nice atmosphere and beautiful views!
Ariana VoyerSeptember 6, 2017
Relaxing spot on the water with a great view! We enjoyed a variety of local oysters and drinks in the Adirondack chairs outside.
Kevin DonovanJanuary 8, 2016
There were no tables available when we went, so my wife and I sat at the oyster bar. Turned out to be the best seats in the house. The oyster chef kept us entertained the entire time!

Westward serves a brunch menu item called "Greek Vaso". Order it! The granola in it is heavenly crack. Plus, it's gluten-free. Win and double win!
Jennifer BurlingtonMay 30, 2017
Amazing inside and out with awesome service. Even on the nicest days, you can find a spot to sit or stand and have a drink on their beautiful patio.
Ms HeleneApril 21, 2019
Oysters $3, shucked to order. Fish cake Benedict battered and fried $17
M KFebruary 19, 2015
Sit at the oyster bar and order all the things. We went with four or five appetizers and smaller plates, plus a dozen oysters. Glutinous maybe, delicious yes.
Dean AndersonJuly 2, 2018
Very relaxed atmosphere. Food is excellent. Staff was and is fantastic. Enjoy your time there.

LL: "This spot is my FAVORITE - you can either sit inside at a table or reserve an adirondack chair looking out over Lake Union + downtown."
Allison YuApril 18, 2015
Sit at the bar for an amazing view. The beets were delicious. So was the quail.
Ellen RiellyAugust 25, 2016
Good food, great atmosphere and view, a little bit overpriced. Waiter offered us bread then charged us $5 for it.
Serious EatsMay 13, 2014
Take a seat at the bar and spend hours looking at all the delightfully absurd details of the boat-shaped bar while you drink.
Ruchika GuptaNovember 28, 2013
Great bar and outdoor fire put with views of Lake Union and downtown. All the food and oysters were delicious, get the halloumi and octopus!
Daniel TewfikJune 3, 2015
Great outdoor fire pit and views of the city. Definitely get the almond gâteau.
Matt WienMarch 10, 2016
All the things are amazing! Oysters, Beef Heart, Caviar, Pork Chop and Pot De Creme!
Maekaila MonteroSeptember 10, 2013
Apart from the happy hour, please try the octopus bolognese and the Nor'western drink. This girl is in love.
Christopher BuckleyOctober 7, 2018
Interior design is a plus. Menu is meh. Cold, impersonal, inattentive management and service a BIG minus. Spoiled our anniversary date. Won't be back. Leave it to the tragically hip brunch crowd.
Mary SApril 30, 2016
The brunch here is amazing. Try the Dutch baby pancake and the chicken confit. I could eat here everyday.
Oremo OchilloApril 23, 2015
If you plan on checking out the outside patio on a nice summer day get there early or you will never get a table.

Radishes & goat butter are a refreshing and crunchy delight! Paired with oysters and a good drink = #foodheaven
Kendall ThorntonDecember 7, 2017
Outdoor fire pits, blankets, thermos of spiked apple cider, great views, oysters
Jacob GyllenstiernaMay 15, 2015

Excellent outdoor dining for a warm sunny afternoon! Slightly over priced drinks, but the location can't be beat.
KellyAugust 17, 2016
Outstanding food and service, with excellent water views and a fantastic outdoor seating area.
Haley BMay 4, 2014
Order the caramel pot de creme & the chocolate olive oil cake & eat them together in the same bite.

Fricking awesome. Get the Brussels, the grilled cheese, and something fishy. Also, the chicken is amazeballs.
ImpulseWine.comSeptember 14, 2013
One of my new favorite spots. The location is amazing, right on the water. The lamb burger put me on cloud nine!
SNOCRUMarch 29, 2015
Awesome new place right on the water. Friendly service. Oysters and the chicken hash BOOM!
Katie BosselerApril 12, 2014
Very cute place. Good for a date night our lunch on a nice day. Outdoor seating and fire pit look fun.
Erin LynchApril 26, 2014
Do not miss the Brussels sprouts. So lemony and gorgeous. The Greek beans are also wonderful.
Andre WyattAugust 18, 2014
There is a bar on the water you can go to while you wait - they'll let you know when your table is ready.
Alex RavenelMay 13, 2019
Very good brunch, great view. Nice spot when the weather is nice.
Taline EkmekjianOctober 12, 2013
