The Garrison

Seattle Just Got a Wave of Hot New Oyster Bars | Eater Seattle

"A moody, mussel-sized 17-seat bar and restaurant occupying the front room of the former Hotel Albatross on Ballard’s Market Street, the Garrison was quietly opened by Le Coin owners Josh Delgado and Jordan Melnikoff; Delgado developed a concise seafood-forward menu and a simplified oyster selection that primarily features Treasure Cove oysters from Emerald Acres Oysters. The focus here is less on breadth than on highlighting a purveyor and a product Delgado reveres—he praises farmer Kevin Riley for hands-on work from seeding to delivery—and the bar runs a happy hour offering a dozen oysters for $24, making oysters more accessible without sacrificing the experience." - Mark DeJoy
