"Nearly two years after the pandemic started in Seattle, on March 4, he officially turned The Gerald into Wero, what Yoo describes as an 'upscale Korean comfort food restaurant.' The food menu, which features eight dishes designed to rotate seasonally, includes kalbi-flavored wagyu zabuton steak served with ssam, ssamjang (spicy-sweet fermented bean sauce), and side dishes. Korean-style chicken wings and Korean tenderloin beef tartare are also available. The cocktail menu features house-made shrubs and bitters and East Asian liquors like makgeolli (rice wine), soju, Japanese whiskey, paired with creative ingredients like shiso, sesame oil, and pine nuts. The restaurant is open for indoor and outdoor dining Wednesday through Saturday 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; takeout is limited." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
