Westword has an outstanding location that you can’t beat at the end of South Lake Union with views of the Seattle cityscape and outstanding food to match its location. Highly recommend any of the dips that come with the homemade chips oysters, the vegetables are not to be missed.

We went early on a beautiful day to enjoy oysters on a rare sunny Seattle afternoon. We ordered a dozen oysters based on our waiters recommendation. They were delicious and we appreciated the difference in taste among them. However, we're from the Bay Area and $60 for a dozen seemed high by 10-15 dollars. Nevertheless, they still delivered. However, there wasn't a lot else on the menu that we wanted -three entries that sounded good, but nothing special. Great place to enjoy the sun in the summer.

Fantastic all around. Food is amazing, the ambience is perfect especially in summer when you can sit outside and enjoy the sun on the water. I think they played an entire Odessa album and it fit the environment perfectly. It’s a pricey place but you truly get what you pay for.

Oysters and wine and weather! This is the perfect place for a Seattle summer day. The main dish was a little too salty, but overall the food was good and uncomplicated!

Choices are limited. The price is high, and 22% service charges make it more expensive.
