Westward

Seattle


With Lake Union lapping at your feet and the city skyline as a backdrop, it’s no surprise that Westward is a favorite local haunt. The menu combines bold Mediterranean flavors with seasonal ingredients from local purveyors, which are served up while you’re lounging in the Adirondack chairs next to fire pits made from oyster shells.
